how will the police proceed from here?

The outlaws will probably have a new car.

It's supposedly a BMW
that they stole from a passerby.

I implore you,
until the hostages have been released
185
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:02,160
or the hostage-takers
have been apprehended,
186
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,480
do not report on these events.
187
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,360
It is up to you…
188
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,800
not to endanger
the hostages by going public.

Once again, I implore you,
190
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,440
this is a very grave assessment
of the danger.

about the outlaw hostage-takers
and their getaway route.
194
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,000
[reporter 2] In order not
to endanger the hostages,
195
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,520
the police have stopped the pursuit.
196
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,680
[reporter 3] The manhunt was stopped.
197
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,960
[reporter 4] Subsequently,
the manhunt was abandoned
198
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,760
to achieve the release of the hostages.
199
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,160
[reporter 5] Since then,
there have been no signs of life
200
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,040

00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,280

We sent Christian Berg

00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,400
They got gas, candy, and then vanished.
216
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,000
I noticed he had a gun at his side,
but otherwise…

-[woman] No.

What's the latest?
This matter has assumed new dimensions.

Well, first off, let's say yes.
220
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,240
We know, as we just learned,
that they've made things worse in Bremen.
221
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,240
They've apparently hijacked,
or seized, a bus in Bremen
222
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,600
containing more hostages.

have seized a bus

into a grocery store in Bremen.

Along with an unidentified woman,
245
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,720
they went to a bus stop and got on a bus.

Somewhat stressful, yes.
255
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,840
We have footage of the events
from where the bus was hijacked.

00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,200
If you could play it now.
It started during rush hour.
257
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,920
At roughly 20 minutes after 7:00,
258
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,280
we see them negotiating
in the back there, by the door of the bus.
259
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,640
By the open door of the bus.
260
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,480
The man with the T-shirt by the door
on the left is a hostage-taker.

[reporter] Hello.
What do they… what do they want?
265
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,080
Well, now they…
they're demanding a vehicle,

PRESS PHOTOGRAPHER

268
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,240
but that's parked here
by someone from the press.
269
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,120
[reporter] Then they'd
relinquish the bus, release the people?
270
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,320
Yes. They wanna set them free,
and then it'll calm down.
271
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,080
I just have to find someone
from the police.
272
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,280
-[officer] I'm here.
-It isn't easy to find them.
273
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,960
-[woman] Yes. Right here.
-Okay. They want a new getaway vehicle.
274
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,840
And they want one that's not bugged,
275
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,120
but one from a fellow reporter
that's parked here.
276
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,920
-[officer] They'll stay put until then?
-Yes. They won't do anything.

[officer] Okay.

00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,160

that a police officer in his underwear
279
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,200
with hands cuffed behind his back…
280
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,160
gets into the getaway vehicle.
281
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,680
They need another set of handcuffs
for a hostage from the bus.
282
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,880
-That's what they're demanding.
-Yeah. Okay. I'll see to that.
283
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,480
The criminals, apparently,
planned this robbery very thoroughly.
284
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,560
The police think
that they aren't particularly intelligent
285
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,560

[reporter 5] So how long
do you plan on doing this?
314
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,880
Well, we will make some demands,
315
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,280
and if they're not met, it's bang-bang.
316
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,760
[reporter 5] You want
to be responsible for that?

We're done with life.
318
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,240
And…
319
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,920
we've been on the run for over 30 hours,
and the cops won't stop pursuing us.
320
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,560
And the two bank employees
are at the end of their rope.
321
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,360
Especially the woman.
322
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,640
She wants to go home,
and we were prepared to do that today.
323
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,800
And then they got in our way.
324
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,080
We were sure that no one
would follow us, and then we saw them.
325

-[reporter 5] Yeah.
-Yeah.
326
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,880
[reporter 5] You don't think
it's better to give up?
327
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,320
Definitely not.
328
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,360
This is how it will go down.
329

330
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,280
my buddy is especially dangerous,

I can't help that.

for someone else?

00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,720
But I want a police officer,
344
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,040
and he has to come in with an ID
345
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,360
and hands cuffed behind his back.
346
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,040
[reporter 6] Right.
347
00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:32,640
[reporter 5] What are the chances
you get away with this?
348
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,240
I'm sure I'll get away.
349
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,520
Either that
350
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,440
or I'm gone.
351
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,040
Hmm? Simple as that.
352
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:49,000
If they think they can come in
with their damn SWAT teams…
353
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,160
Well, I'm not afraid of that. No.
354
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,080
We have however many hostages in there,
and we're heavily armed.
355
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,880
I don't wanna be specific.
356
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,920
[reporter 5] Like grenades, or what?
357
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,760
I have a bag with things in it,
and it'll all go off.
358
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,440
-[reporter 6] There are three of you?
-Yes.
359
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,360
[reporter 6] Aren't you worried
about the woman?
360
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:11,720
No. She wants this.
361
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,280
-[reporter 6] You sure?
-Yeah.
362
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:15,840
And, um,
363
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,280
I advised her not to.
364
00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:20,160
I said, "Don't do it." She chose to.
365
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,040
-[reporter 6] Is she your girlfriend?
-Yes.
366
00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:25,640
She sees things the way I do.
367
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:26,680
[reporter 5] Yeah.
368
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,560
That's why she's here.
369
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,480
So what was it?
Did you just want to get lots of money?
370
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:37,880
-Or was it--
-No.
371
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,480
I'm… I'm a criminal by nature.
372
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:41,560
Part of me.
373
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,840
For me, there's no such thing as work
and morals, and silly stuff like that.
374
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,320
I, uh… I want to move forward and live.
375
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:50,880
It has nothing to do…
376
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,040
[camera shutter clicking]
377
00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:54,680
…with all that political crap.
378
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,240

379
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,000

[inhales deeply, clears throat]
382
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,760
A few times I have thought
about whether or not to…
383
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,560
to join a terrorist group.
384
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:17,320
But then I figured
getting big money was better
385
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:18,440
so you can get by.
386
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,640
[reporter 6] Did you
just wanna rob a bank,
387
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,880
or was it a targeted effort
to take hostages?
388
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,480
Well, we had everything
we needed to take hostages.
389
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,000
That was a factor from the start
in case it happened.
390
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,160
-You know?
-[reporter 6] Right.

[reporter 5] Can… can…
396
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,120
We're all standing around here,
and you're doing that.
397
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,160
Your gun is cocked.
398
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,560
-No. That's why I have my finger here.
-[reporter 5] Oh.
399
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,000
[man chuckling]
400
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,960
[reporter 5] That would be
a frightening feeling.
401
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:00,880
[crowd laughing]
402
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,800
[reporter 5] Yeah.
I mean, we all have an uneasy feeling.
403
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,560
[reporter 5] The hostages
from the bank are still with you?
404
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,920
-In the bus.
-[reporter 5] They're in the bus?
405
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,440
How are they feeling?
What's their point of view?
406
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:13,560
Well, go on over.
407
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,840
[reporter 5] Hmm? Go? Yeah? Okay.
408
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:22,640
-But only you.
-[reporter 5] Yes. Okay.

[indistinct chatter]
413
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,760
I'm having the clerk check all the bills
414
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,080
because they can put
small trackers in them.
415
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,040
Then we're sure there's nothing in them
416
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,320
so we can't be followed.
417
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,880
[reporter 6] Any special dreams?
418
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,080
-[man 2] You shouldn't talk about dreams.
-[reporter 6] That's true.
419
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,120
A car and a shower. Bath.
420
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,400
I don't have any dreams anymore.
421
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,200

The two hostage-takers
spoke to journalists from the bus.
426
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,040
An armed woman has joined the two outlaws.
427
00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:08,480
She is supposedly the girlfriend
of one of the criminals.

00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:56,080
I can go.

HOSTAGE-TAKERS ON THE RUN
436
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,240
Now for the latest
from the hostage situation in Bremen.
437
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,040
As we've just learned,
438
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:09,640
the hostage-takers
have released five hostages.
439
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,720
-I was there. Yes.
-[reporter] What happened?
440
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,680
They came from the post office over there.
441
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,040
[man] From the post office?
442
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:18,520
They came over from the post office
with a lady and a… a gentleman.
443
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,200
[reporter] And then what?
444
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,640
Well, they got on the bus,
and now they're counting money.
445
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:26,080
Several thousand marks.
446
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,280
-A sack full of money.
-[man] You were in the back, right?
447
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:31,440
-Yes. I saw it. You didn't.
-[man] I was in the front.
448
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,560
-[reporter] They let you leave the bus?
-I said I have a heart condition.
449
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,360
-[chuckles]
-[man] That's one way to get out.

HOSTAGE-TAKERS HIJACK BUS
451
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,800
The DA's office and Essen
have named the two criminals.
452
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,560
31-year-old
Hans-Jürgen Rösner from Gladbeck,
453
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,680
who escaped from prison
two years ago while on furlough.
454
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,360
His partner
is 32-year-old Dieter Degowski,
455
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,280
also from Gladbeck.
456
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,120
[reporter] The hostage-takers
let you on the bus first.
457
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,160
What happened then?
458
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,680
Well, they waved me towards them.
459
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,960
I was sitting in the car
taking photographs,
460
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,800
and then they told me to come over.
461
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,400
They were very friendly, you know?
462
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,320
I was very careful at first
with my arms spread out wide.
463
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,080
"No need to put your hands up," he said.
464
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,520
Then, I went there, and he told me,
465
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,880
"Here the situation is crappy.
The cops said they stopped the manhunt
466
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,080
and weren't following us."
467
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,960
"Nothing's working, and now we're here,
and it's full of cops. You know?"
468
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,280
Then they told me
that they had a new demand.
469
00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:31,120
They want a new getaway car,
and one of the hostages should be a cop.
470
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,920
That's their demand,
and it will stay that way for now.
471
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,600
Just now, he said if it wasn't that soon,
they would just take any car.
472
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,120
I said, "You can take mine." [laughs]

Yeah.
485
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,720
-[reporter 2] Who's he speaking to?
-[reporter] BUNTE.
486
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,600
No. That's our security.
487
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,680
That's why we're not letting them go.
488
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,720
No. Maybe we'll end up
six feet under, sure,
489
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,280
but not in prison.
490
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,840
I'm from Gladbeck-Rentfort.
491
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,280
I was.
492
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,120
No.
493
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,280
[camera shutter clicking]
494
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,560
[Rösner] Yes.
I was in prison for 11 years.
495
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,680
I couldn't learn much there,
and I'm not interested in that.
496
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,200
Uh, for several things.
497
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,040
It started with shoplifting,
break-ins and assault,
498
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,560
and aggravated assault, and then I…
499
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,720
In prison, I stabbed an officer
in the neck with a knife.
500
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:08,560
So…
501
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,280
I got two-and-a-half years extra.
502
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,600

[Rösner] Now I'll ask a question.
505
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,000
I've known him for 23 years.

507
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,040

508
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,400
You're not gonna like the answer.

511
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,120
[reporter] Yours. The car.
512
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:04,840
Uh, hold on.
513
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,440
-Which car?
-[reporter] Your car's here, the Opel.
514
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,680
From the police? I don't want it.
515
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,240
-[reporter] You don't want a police car?
-[Rösner] No. Nothing from the cops.
516
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,600
I don't wanna talk about this anymore.
517
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,880
I don't give a shit
about what anyone thinks.
518
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,120
That's it. Bye.
519
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,360
It's over there.
520
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:23,640
I'll drive you.

[phone beeping]
528
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,320
I've got Christian Berg
on the phone from Bremen
529
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,320
to ask what news he can give us.
530
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,680
Hello, Christian Berg. What's the latest?
531
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,440
[Christian] The current situation
is that the police are still negotiating
532
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:40,160
with a task force
and everything that goes along with it.
533
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,600
The police aren't willing to let
a police officer be taken as a hostage.
534
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,960
The Bremen Police
doesn't wanna let that happen.
535
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,760
As far as the atmosphere
of this hostage crisis,
536
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,720
it is unique in the history
of the Federal Republic of Germany.
537
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,080
It has the feel of a work outing.
538
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:56,800
The police have hardly closed any roads.
539
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,280
-[crowd chattering]
-[camera shutter clicking]
540
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,720
[Christian] It's a relaxed atmosphere,
yet also cynical and brutal.
541
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,840
The hostage-taker just gave an interview.
542
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,200
A guy standing, waving a gun
543
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,480
while some 30 people, including children,
are being held captive is bizarre.
544
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,360
We'll have to reflect long and hard
on what's happened here.
545
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,240
A guy in a black mask is up there.
I know those tricks.
546
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,760
[anchor] What is left
for the police to do?
547
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:36,600
Have the leaders of the task force
hinted that they want to give in?
548
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,120
The situation in Bremen is still tense.
549
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,400
The hostage-takers
are exhausted and on edge.
550
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,680
The police seem nervous as well.
551
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,920
I'm not waiting much longer.
552
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,320
I'll get back on the bus
to talk it over with my buddy
553
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,480
and my girlfriend,
554
00:33:58,560 --> 00:33:59,920
then I'll shoot the first one.
555
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,560
I'm sick of being screwed with.

He's got Karina.

-[reporter 2] Who's Karina?
-[reporter] My colleague.
568

All right. She looks all right.

00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,280
I have a new friend for you.

00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:43,280

What's wrong with him?

00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,560
[reporter 3] Why is Peter Meyer
getting involved? There's no need.
578
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,080
[reporter] Why's he getting involved?
I would do it too.
579
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,000
There are 30 people in that bus.
580
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,120
I would run over there buck naked.

If no one shows up, I'm shooting her!

is walking towards us now.

00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,720
Well, they want to take off in the bus.
594
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,640
I tried to talk them out of it.
I said, "Let them go. Get in my car."
595
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:40,560
"One isn't enough.
They'll shoot at you too," they said.
596
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:43,840
[officer] Roland for 33-08.
597
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,240
I'll take down the number.
598
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,520
I'll drive the car over there
and give him the phone.

[officer 2] Yes. Their number, 3-6-2…

[officer 3] 3-6-2-5-0-8.

[officer 2] We're giving Meyer the number
and telling him to call.

in the Gladbeck hostage drama,

00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,400
which is now the Bremen hostage drama.
630
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,280
[anchor 2] The latest report
is that the hostage-takers
631
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,000
are heading towards the airport.
632
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,360
We just got word
633
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:09,280
that the bus passed the Oyten rest stop
on the autobahn, heading towards Hamburg.
634
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,640
No one knows
how this hostage drama will end.
635
00:40:11,720 --> 00:40:14,680
Just how cold-blooded
the hostage-takers are
636
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,760
became clear three hours ago.
637
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,520
One of the kidnappers walked right up
to my colleague Günter Ollendorf
638
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,520
and spoke bluntly to reporters.
639
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,920
It's a bizarre scene to witness.
640
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,960
And incredibly grim evidence.
641
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:31,080
The decision to air this interview
was not easy for us.
642
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,680
However, we feel
it documents the situation.
643
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:38,000
Well, we'll make some demands,
and if they're not met, it's bang-bang.
644
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,960
I'm afraid we have grim evidence
to show you.
645
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,760
[Rösner] Yeah. We're done with life.
I don't give a shit about my life.
646
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,800
No. I'm… I'm a criminal by nature.
647
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,760
For me, there's no such thing as work,
and morals, silly stuff like that.
648
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,480
[anchor] We asked a fellow journalist
what he experienced.
649
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:56,040
I did an interview and asked him
if he planned on giving up,
650
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:57,760
and he said, "No."
651
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,920
That he was…
652
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,320
he was sick of the police
and was gonna shoot someone.
653
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,440
-[anchor] Were you afraid?
-I was, yes.
654
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,720
He was pressing his gun
against my stomach the whole time,
655
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,840
and that wasn't a nice feeling.
656
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,040
[anchor] Why did you ask him
to get into your car?
657
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,640
He was standing by it,
and I'm a journalist.
658
00:41:16,720 --> 00:41:18,840
You just try, and it worked.

668
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,840
[reporter] Why did you drive off
in the bus instead of a journalist's car?
669
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,960
[Dieter] Because they're untrustworthy.
670
00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:41,440
[anchor] Do you think
the police will try something soon?
671
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:43,240
Definitely.
672
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,960
Us too. That's why we left.

-Yes.

00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,680
[anchor] How do you feel
with a gun to your throat?
675
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,520
Pretty good, considering…
676
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,120
It's all kinda surreal to me.
677
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:01,800
Too young.
678
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,200

he would pull the trigger?

threatening to shoot her if no one talks
to them and meets their demands.
684
00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:31,760
That's the latest
from the Grundbergsee rest area.
685
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,640
Peter Wüst for RSH.
686
00:43:34,240 --> 00:43:39,520
It started with the hostage-takers
demanding to speak to an officer
687
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,280
to start a dialogue.
688
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,600
The police said no one was coming out.
689
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,240
Next, they demanded a walkie-talkie
690
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,680
so they could at least
be in touch that way.
691
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,840
The walkie-talkie didn't work.
692
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:56,040
There was no contact.
The third attempt was using my car phone.
693
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,000
They gave me a number to call.
No one answered.
694
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,720
I don't get what the police are doing,
what they're thinking.
695
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:06,840
If they fail to meet demands,
even the smallest ones,
696
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,480
then I get the feeling
something's going to happen.
697
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:12,240
I'm being…
698
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,040
I'm being handed a piece of paper.
699
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,920
Right now,
the bus has stopped at Grundbergsee.
700
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,000
That is a rest area near Bremen.
701
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,520
One of the hostages
from Gladbeck has been released.
702
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,440
However, the hostage-takers
are now demanding
703
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,720
to have a police officer as a hostage,
704
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,960
as they said this afternoon,
and a new getaway car.
705
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,200
I'm sure there are only two options.
706
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:41,000
Either they meet the criminal's demands,
or something horrible will happen tonight.

The female perpetrator is
in the restroom with a gun.
712
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,040
[officer] In the restroom with a gun?
713
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,640
[Aller] Whose call is it?
Should I grab her?

717
00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:08,640

[officer 2] Yes. I copy.

00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:06,680

on the situation?

[indistinct chatter]
728
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,480
[officer 2] Both hostages
from Gladbeck are free.
729
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,840
They're walking to your vehicles.
730
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:22,360
Also, we were able
to overwhelm the female offender.
731
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:26,840
[officer] No.
732
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,680
According to the released hostages,
733
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,600
the two perpetrators could lose it
at any moment
734
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,720
if the woman doesn't return to them.
735
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,720
[officer 2] What is your decision?
736
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:46,640
[officer 3] We can't keep the woman
detained if we can't take down the others.
737
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:48,760
Only all three at once.
738
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,000
[officer] Should've thought
about that before!
739

740
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,680

742
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:16,320
[Rösner] Send her out.
743
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,040
I'm gonna lost my shit! Let her out!
744
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,320
If someone harms her
and she doesn't come back soon,
745
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,040
I'll pull the trigger.
746
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,840
Then we'll have a hole in the neck.
747
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,680
But before that,
I'll shoot things up around here.
748
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,120
They shouldn't have done that,
those damn pigs.
749
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,440
-Okay. I'll ask.
-[Rösner] Those damn, filthy pigs!
750
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,160

[officer] They are threatening
to kill a little girl.
756
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,320
[officer] So should we release
the woman or not?
757
00:48:17,720 --> 00:48:20,880
[officer 3] Can you tell me
about the perpetrators?
758
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:22,880
Are they under the influence of alcohol?
759
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,720
[officer] Yes. Alcohol and drugs.
760
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,880
They've taken a lot of pills to stay awake
and have drunk a lot of beer.
761
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:45,040
The woman's coming back.
She's already far away from here.
762
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:46,760
[bus driver] Okay. I'll let them know.
763
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,160
You're bringing her back? All right.
764
00:48:49,240 --> 00:48:51,200
[officer 3] She's coming here now. Yeah?
765
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:14,400
[Rösner] Sit down!
766
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,200
I swear I'm gonna…
767
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:28,560
[officer] Where's the mobile task force
with the woman?
768
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,600
[officer 4] She's walking over.

Where was that number?

with the wounded guy?

-[man 2] Who is it?
-[man] The police!

00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:23,520
[Halbermann] Halbermann.
800
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,720
Yes. We urgently need an ambulance.

804
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,080
[Halbermann] Yes, sure. Yes.
805
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:38,040
[man] I need another mark.
806
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,320
[Halbermann] Stop asking
so many questions.
807
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,280
Send an ambulance
and come and see for yourself.
808
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:45,200
That's irrelevant.
809
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,600
Listen. I'm telling you
that doesn't matter.
810
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,160
-Is the ambulance on its way or not?
-[man] Are they that stupid?
811
00:51:53,240 --> 00:51:55,000
[man 2] There are hostages!
They shot someone.
812
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:58,840
So, Marius, our viewers can hear you now.
813
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:00,480
Where are you right now?

The city bus from Bremen just drove off.
818
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,920
Evidently,
a shot was fired in the vehicle.
819
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,520
A wounded person
was pushed out of the vehicle.
820
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:18,600
The perpetrators are very nervous
and, apparently, drunk.
821
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:22,320
I see they're turning off
and heading back towards Bremen.
822
00:52:25,240 --> 00:52:28,200
[anchor] And you're in the convoy
following the bus?
823
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,480
[Marius] Yes.
The bus is 200 meters ahead of me.
824
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:35,760
The most dangerous thing right now
825
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,600
is if the perpetrators lose control
due to alcohol.
826
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,680
[suspenseful music playing]
827
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:14,040

80 civilian and police cars.

[reporter 3] Why lock the door?
Are there police?
1024
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:56,680
[Rösner] Well, we can't rule it out.
1025
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:02,640
[reporter 3] Jan, it's okay.
1026
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:18,760
Well, I am… You know,
the three of us are done with life.
1027
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:22,040
Whether I'm killed doesn't matter,
1028
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:25,400
but I'd say it's about these two girls.
1029
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:28,600
I'd tell the pigs not to try anything.
1030
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:31,040
If they do, they're dead.
1031
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:32,840
Like the boy.
1032
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:43,720
[anchor] What are the police doing?
1033
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:46,880
[reporter] The police aren't doing
anything, uh, they aren't here.
1034
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:49,760
If you look around,
you won't find a single police officer.
1035
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:52,920
The police are staying out of it entirely.
1036
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,720
You have to go 200 meters away from here.
1037
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:58,120
Then you'll see
a few big sedans with plates
1038
01:08:58,200 --> 01:08:59,720
that look like Border Patrol plates.
1039
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:01,560
And cars, armored cars.
1040
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:03,440
There are a few snipers
setting up there too,
1041
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,640
but in reality,
it all looks very quiet where we're at.
1042
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:11,600
[indistinct radio chatter]
1043
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:16,040
[reporter] Where are the police?
1044
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:19,920
Uh, somewhere back there, I think.
1045
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:26,160
-[reporter] So you're a spectator here?
-Yeah. Exactly. Like everyone else.
1046
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,760
-[reporter] Isn't that strange?
-Sure it is.
1047
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,840
-[reporter] What's it like?
-People are curious about it.
1048
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:35,600
-That's why.
-[reporter] Like the movies?
1049
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:37,600
[laughs] More or less.
1050
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:42,280
Well, this is a big deal.
1051
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:44,640
I mean, that's not…
I mean that critically,
1052
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:46,560
that so many people can stand around here.
1053
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,360
I think it's sad
that so many people can stand around here.
1054
01:09:49,440 --> 01:09:51,400
I'm… I'm standing around here too.
1055
01:09:51,480 --> 01:09:52,920
Normally, I shouldn't be here.
1056
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:55,360
[crowd chattering]
1057
01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:59,040
[reporter] Where are the police?
1058
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:01,600
They're around here, um, undercover.
1059
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:03,800
And, uh, there are none in uniform.
1060
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:06,080
They're not allowed.
1061
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,280
You think it's good
that there's so many bystanders?
1062
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:11,440
No, it isn't. But the press drives it.
1063
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:14,360
Lots of reporters
running around here with cameras.
1064
01:10:14,440 --> 01:10:16,160
Can you really blame people?
1065
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:17,760
Do you think it's exciting?
1066
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:19,520
Not really,
1067
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:22,480
but you have to take a look.
1068
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:28,640
[reporter] There were crowds
like this in Bremen too. And now…
1069
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:30,680
In Bremen there was a big commotion too.
1070
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:32,000
I think it's a disgrace.
1071
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:33,920
I'd be ashamed
to film something like this.
1072
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:35,600
People running around laughing and all--
1073
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,320
[reporter] Well, it's our job,
but there are lots of bystanders who--
1074
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:41,680
Okay, I believe you.
It's your job, fine. It's news.
1075
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:45,560
But these newspaper people
who get 20 or 30 marks a line,
1076
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:46,560
they need to go.
1077
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:48,000
I'm so appalled I could--
1078
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:49,800
And they come here with coffee.
1079
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:51,560
They… they go over there. It's ridiculous.
1080
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:55,520
Yes, fine. That's… that's fine,
but I think it's so terrible.
1081
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:57,680
I think it's ghastly. I'm… I'm stunned.
1082
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:03,800
[indistinct chatter, laughing]
1083
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:06,840
[Rösner] The cops need to go,
or else I'll shoot.
1084
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:08,840
That's my last word.
1085
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:12,640
-My buddy won't change my mind.
-[man] But he's a colleague of mine.
1086
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:15,080
-[man 2] You discussed that?
-[man] Yeah. Yeah.
1087
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:16,280
[man 2] Get your bags.
1088
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:26,120
[reporter] Hi. We're with RTL Plus.
We've spoken on the phone.
1089
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:27,320
-How are you?
-Fine.
1090
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:30,600
[reporter] What do you plan on doing?
1091
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:32,640
Yeah, we…
1092
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:38,120
We'll… we'll make sure we shake the cops.
1093
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:40,840
We have a plan for that.
1094
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:44,720
Cologne will play a role.
That's why we're here.
1095
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:48,960
-[reporter] What about--
-That's why we're here in Cologne at all.
1096
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:51,480
We're just parked here to drink coffee.
1097
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:52,760
[reporter] How was the coffee?
1098
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:54,480
Superb.
1099
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:57,440
[reporter] Do you want to trade
the hostages for new ones?
1100
01:11:57,960 --> 01:11:59,800
No. Not really.
1101
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:02,160
-[reporter] Not for me?
-No.
1102
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:04,120
[reporter] Why not?
1103
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:09,520
-Because… I don't know.
-[reporter] Because she's not well.
1104
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:14,640
-Yeah.
-[man] You were saying…
1105
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:17,120
-[Rösner] It's the heat.
-[reporter] May I ask her how she is?
1106
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:18,560
-[Rösner] Mm-hmm.
-[reporter] May I?
1107
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:20,280
Okay. How are you?
1108
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:22,720
Not good at the moment. I'm scared.
1109
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:24,040
[man] Well, of course.
1110
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,000
With a gun pointed at your neck, it's…
1111
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:28,880
[man 2] Keep some space!
1112
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,160
-[man 3] They're on edge.
-[man 4] Clear out of the way.
1113
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:32,600
[man 2] Come on. Clear out!
1114
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:34,840
[reporter] Okay. What's your name?
1115
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:36,520
Silke Bischoff.
1116
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:38,440
-[reporter] How old are you?
-18.
1117
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:41,520
[man 5] Move aside!
1118
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:47,680
[woman] Hey. Don't get nervous now.
1119
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,640
[Rösner] They should clear out.
He's gonna do something stupid.
1120
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:53,840
[man 5] Get away back there!
Everyone, clear out! In front too.
1121
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:55,440
-[woman] Stay calm.
-[Rösner] Keep calm.
1122
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:58,360
-[man 5] Clear out in front!
-[reporter] Do you want my phone number?
1123
01:12:58,440 --> 01:13:01,120
Do you want my phone number
so you can call me?
1124
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:04,000
-[Rösner] Yes. Write it down.
-[woman] Look at her.
1125
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:06,680
-You're making her nervous.
-[reporter] I need my bag.
1126
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:07,880
-Rüdiger.
-[Rösner] What?
1127
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:10,640
[woman] Look at her.
Don't cause panic. Put it down
1128
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,400
Dieter, Dieter, no. Keep it there.
1129
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,000
[woman] Yes,
but don't press it against her.
1130
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:17,920
[Rösner] Stay calm.
1131
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:20,640
[reporter] I'll give you my card. Okay?
1132
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:22,240
[inaudible]
1133
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:24,760
[man 5] Get away, man. Beat it!
1134
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:27,680
[reporter] Call if anything comes up.
1135
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:29,640
[camera shutter clicking]
1136
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,520
[reporter] If you reconsider
trading hostages, call me.
1137
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:34,440
No. No need for that.
1138
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:38,200
[man 6] Clear out in the back
and the front! Hurry up!
1139
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:41,320
-[reporter] Okay. Got it.
-Yeah.
1140
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:43,600
-[reporter] What?
-They shouldn't mess around.
1141
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:45,840
He's on edge. He might pull the trigger.
1142
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:49,200
[camera shutters clicking]
1143
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:54,400
If you don't get out of the way,
he says he'll drive right through you.
1144
01:13:54,480 --> 01:13:55,920
Step back!
1145
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:58,000
[suspenseful music playing]
1146
01:14:01,440 --> 01:14:02,920
[car engine starting]
1147
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:04,440
[man 2] Everyone, move!
1148
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:07,880
[car engine revving]
1149
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:15,760
[man 4] I think he'll stop.
He's coming through.
1150
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:17,080
Stop. Get away!
1151
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:23,400
Clear out in the back!
1152
01:14:24,440 --> 01:14:25,680
Move! Move!
1153
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:30,400
[suspenseful music swelling]
1154
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:39,560
[indistinct chatter]
1155
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:42,320
[camera shutters clicking]
1156
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:49,320
[man 7] Away from there!
1157
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:50,720
[car beeping]
1158
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:53,560
I'm telling you, move to the side.
1159
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:55,960
Everyone to the side!
1160
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:02,520
[man 8] Get out of the way.
1161
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:03,880
[man 9] Move to the side, man!
1162
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:13,720
This is my last warning.
Out of the way now!
1163
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:14,760
[man 9] Move over there.
1164
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:18,000
[crowd clamoring]
1165
01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:21,360
[Rösner] No one else come from behind!
1166
01:15:21,440 --> 01:15:24,920
[man 9] How long does it take? Hurry up!
1167
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:31,240
[man 10] The other side.
1168
01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:40,480
[officer] Hans-Jürgen!
1169
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:41,880
[car engine starting]
1170
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:43,080
[officer] Hans-Jürgen!
1171
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:47,520
Hans-Jürgen!
1172
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:51,760
We were in Gladbeck together.
You made demands. We're from the police.
1173
01:15:52,760 --> 01:15:55,080
Do you still wanna talk to us?
1174
01:15:57,280 --> 01:16:00,560
I'm just saying
we had a good conversation.
1175
01:16:01,480 --> 01:16:02,640
Should we--
1176
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:06,560
Because you sat there and made demands.
Should we still meet them?
1177
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:08,480
Come on. Think it over.
1178
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,640
-[reporter] What's your name?
-[Röbel] Udo Röbel.
1179
01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:35,840
Udo Röbel.
1180
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:39,280
[camera shutters clicking]
1181
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:43,280
[dramatic music playing]
1182
01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:58,040
[indistinct chatter]
1183
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:05,320
[reporter] The journalists are following
the car. The car just passed ours.
1184
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:11,400
You could call it
a pack of cars, 20 or 30,
1185
01:17:11,480 --> 01:17:15,120
that are rolling out
to follow the hostage-takers' car.
1186
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:17,440
That's it for now.

[man] Up ahead! Three cars ahead.

01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,720
[anchor] There are new developments
in the hostage crisis.
1201
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:20,480
Uli Leithold, the outlaws' car
is apparently on the move.
1202
01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:24,280
[Leithold] Exactly two minutes ago,
Mr. Breuckmann,
1203
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:27,640
the silver BMW drove off from here
1204
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:34,080
after the perpetrators became increasingly
nervous over the previous half an hour.
1205
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:35,560
One thing needs mentioning,
1206
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:37,840
there are now six people
in the getaway car.
1207
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:41,560
The editor-in-chief
of a Cologne tabloid newspaper
1208
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:43,880
voluntarily got into the car with them.
1209
01:18:56,760 --> 01:19:00,080
I would've riddled them with bullets
from a machine gun.
1210
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:04,240
But what a shame
I don't have a machine gun.
1211
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:06,880
But 100 police officers?
Can you believe it?
1212
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:10,080
They won't get him with one little pistol.
1213
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:12,320
SWAT team! It's awful! SWAT team!
1214
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:14,400
They have machine guns.
I would have shot them.
1215
01:19:14,480 --> 01:19:17,840
Whether it hits the woman or not,
he would've been gone.
1216
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:18,800
Bet on that!
1217
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:21,000
We have laws here. We have to follow them.
1218
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:23,760
-That's embarrassing.
-There are innocent people here.
1219
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:24,960
Innocent people!
1220
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:27,000
Yes. Make sure you shoot him!
1221
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:30,440
He doesn't belong in prison.
He belongs in a cemetery.
1222
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:32,240
He belongs in a cemetery! He does.

They're hindering police work.

[reporter] Yes, yes. I know.
1241
01:21:10,440 --> 01:21:13,120
Mr. Röbel, you went along with them. Why?
1242
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:17,360
The hostage-takers wanted someone
with whom they'd had contact
1243
01:21:17,440 --> 01:21:21,040
to accompany them
so they could get out of Cologne safely.
1244
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:23,680
That's why they asked me
if I would come along.
1245
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:25,880
[reporter] What went down
during the drive?
1246
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:28,680
Um, during the drive, things were silent.
1247
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,120
I can only repeat
what we observed in Cologne.
1248
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:35,080
The hostage-taker in the back
is on the verge of total exhaustion.
1249
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:38,000
Absolutely unpredictable.
Capable of anything.
1250
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:39,640
He told me I should get out
1251
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:42,880
and tell the press and the police
he had nothing left to lose.
1252
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,400
He said he executed a 15-year-old boy,
and he won't go to prison for life.
1253
01:21:47,480 --> 01:21:50,960
And if the police don't stay out of it,
completely stay out of it,
1254
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:54,480
there will be a bloodbath with, um…
It'll end with everyone dying.

in Siebengebirge has been cordoned off

because of the dramatic events
that have just transpired.

There must have been a clash

[Hermann] According to our information,

the operation took place
at about 1:45 p.m.

During the operation,
five people were supposedly injured.

[man] We on the law enforcement side
have concerns about close-ups
1277
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:41,360
for the simple reason
that this is a police situation
1278
01:24:41,440 --> 01:24:43,640

This was a SWAT team operation.
