:48:02
The UN may vote on Partition
by the end of the month.
:48:05
We listen to the radio also.
:48:07
Half the leadership of Irgun
and 40 members of Haganah...
:48:10
-...are rotting down there in Acre prison.
-Including Akiva, your uncle. So?
:48:14
If Partition is voted,
we'll need every man to fight the Arabs.
:48:17
Irgun, Haganah, what
difference does it make?
:48:19
I spent 14 months in that prison.
I know every inch. I can show you-
:48:23
That town is surrounded
by 10,000 British soldiers.
:48:25
8,400. 1,600 are pulling out tomorrow
for Jerusalem.
:48:28
Acre isn't a prison, it's a fortress.
:48:30
It hasn't been successfully attacked
since the Crusades.
:48:33
He picks a place in the middle of an Arab
city, surrounded by the British Army...
:48:37
...and says to us, "Go fight."
:48:39
Napoleon bombarded it for 61 days.
:48:41
Napoleon didn't have
93 men inside. You have.
:48:43
-What about the 400 Arabs in that prison?
-We waste Irgun blood to free Arabs?
:48:48
If you turn 400 Arabs loose, they are going
to run in 400 different directions.
:48:52
Each'll have a detachment
of British soldiers on his tail.
:48:55
I will not listen.
I do not trust anybody from the Haganah.
:48:58
If we can't trust each other, there'll
be no Israel, even if Partition is voted.
:49:03
Akiva is Ben Canaan's own blood.
This is no trap.
:49:07
How many Irgun does your plan call for?
:49:09
Twenty-six, divided into
four attack groups...
:49:12
-...and Dov Landau.
-What do you want with Dov Landau?
:49:15
Akiva's execution is six days away.
:49:17
We need a man inside Acre prison
by tomorrow night.
:49:20
-Landau must surrender now.
-He'll be sentenced to death.
:49:23
Akiva is your uncle.
Why don't you surrender?
:49:25
Because Landau will be sentenced
within a few hours...
:49:28
...and sent to Acre.
It'd take weeks for me or anyone else.
:49:30
It must be Landau.
:49:31
If we can agree on a plan,
and if Dov is necessary...
:49:35
...and if we can find him,
I will give him the choice.
:49:38
But I will not order him to do it.
:49:40
Please, tell us what you have in mind.
:49:50
Stars are British command posts.
:49:53
Numbers are outside detachments.
Letters are inside groups.
:49:57
There is a Turkish bath house
that adjoins the south prison wall.
