Narrator:
"A Woman Called Golda",
 the story so far:

2
00:03:27,907 --> 00:03:30,743
lt.
If there is a war,
it will be her fau

3
00:03:32,478 --> 00:03:34,514
(shouting)
Her fault!

4
00:03:52,966 --> 00:03:57,470
"I failed.
There will be war."

5
00:03:59,572 --> 00:04:03,643
Narrator:
In a moment, "A Woman
Called Golda" continues.

6
00:04:21,661 --> 00:04:24,130
(bass drumbeat)

7
00:05:38,037 --> 00:05:41,040
In a democracy,
the majority rules.

8
00:05:42,542 --> 00:05:44,911
Those in favor
of sending Golda?

9
00:05:52,452 --> 00:05:56,289
None. Golda goes.

10
00:06:04,497 --> 00:06:07,567
(orchestral music)

11
00:06:57,116 --> 00:07:00,119
I think he's trying
to get even with me.

12
00:07:06,292 --> 00:07:07,760
Well, maybe when I get back.

13
00:07:08,694 --> 00:07:10,496
I probably won't be here.

14
00:07:11,798 --> 00:07:13,633
Really?
Where are you going?

15
00:07:34,987 --> 00:07:35,988
Uh-huh.

16
00:07:49,168 --> 00:07:53,139
.
And I am going there
to hire aircraft mechanics

17
00:08:19,432 --> 00:08:21,434
So do you have an answer
for that?

18
00:08:55,868 --> 00:08:57,637
What is different?

19
00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:06,579
in.
We'll never
see each other aga

20
00:09:09,949 --> 00:09:12,952
Do you really think that you can
talk me out of going?

21
00:09:45,751 --> 00:09:48,254
No, I have to get thro
ugh to these people.

22
00:10:04,770 --> 00:10:08,274
I'll know
when the time comes
to say it.

23
00:10:45,945 --> 00:10:50,483
h.
...then there'll be
no Jewish people, as suc

24
00:10:59,492 --> 00:11:03,496
...a Jewish homela
nd, will be smashed.

25
00:11:27,386 --> 00:11:29,889
.
That decision is taken

26
00:11:36,929 --> 00:11:38,831
That is normal.

27
00:11:51,911 --> 00:11:54,380
se.
...or we'll lo

28
00:11:56,315 --> 00:11:58,184
(man coughing)

29
00:13:29,375 --> 00:13:33,846
...and of the Resolution
of the General Assembly
of the United Nations...

30
00:13:38,384 --> 00:13:42,388
...the establishment
of the Jewish State
in Palestine...

31
00:13:43,889 --> 00:13:45,891
...to be called:

32
00:14:13,219 --> 00:14:15,721
...and aircraft mechanics
from Czechoslovakia.

33
00:14:29,735 --> 00:14:34,273
And with her work done,
Golda flew home from America.

34
00:14:45,317 --> 00:14:47,286
(applauding)

35
00:15:09,241 --> 00:15:10,743
(whispers)
Shalom.

36
00:16:03,829 --> 00:16:07,833
...they would come back
and take over Jewish property.

37
00:16:09,335 --> 00:16:12,838
Of course,
we were not driven
into the sea...

38
00:16:22,815 --> 00:16:26,819
...and they confined them
to refugee camps.

39
00:16:32,825 --> 00:16:35,327
...after 30 years.

40
00:16:40,332 --> 00:16:43,836
(sniffles, sighs)

41
00:17:35,587 --> 00:17:37,623
He was a son-of-a-bitch.

42
00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:54,032
(typewriter clacking)

43
00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:16,121
...Tunisia, Morocco, Yemen.

44
00:19:49,488 --> 00:19:52,491
(all laughing)

45
00:21:40,299 --> 00:21:43,068
We don't need a piece of pap
er to tell us.

46
00:22:23,141 --> 00:22:25,077
.
I can arrange that too

47
00:22:35,921 --> 00:22:37,322
(forcefully)
Get married.

48
00:22:51,036 --> 00:22:54,039
(Rabbi recites
"The Mourners' Kaddish"
in Hebrew)

49
00:22:58,543 --> 00:23:01,546
(orchestral music)

50
00:23:06,718 --> 00:23:10,622
Lou (voiceover):
In 1951,
her husband Morris died.

51
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,682
...he paid for.

52
00:24:13,685 --> 00:24:17,189
Shalom, Morris.

53
00:24:41,913 --> 00:24:44,883
(orchestral music)

54
00:25:11,443 --> 00:25:13,945
The best of my life.

55
00:26:03,194 --> 00:26:05,697
We demand the death of Israel."

56
00:26:13,338 --> 00:26:16,908
(suspenseful orchestral music)

57
00:26:18,376 --> 00:26:19,244
(shouts)
Oh!

58
00:26:58,116 --> 00:27:00,418
...but you still haven't
taken a Hebrew name.

59
00:27:20,271 --> 00:27:22,240
What is this, now, BG?

60
00:27:28,913 --> 00:27:30,749
Who's going to be
Foreign Minister?

61
00:27:57,142 --> 00:28:00,211
l.
You will make them fit i
n with you. I know you wil

62
00:28:26,271 --> 00:28:28,273
e.
Now, about changing your nam

63
00:28:29,708 --> 00:28:34,212
n:
I've thought of a name
that's very close to Meyerso

64
00:29:38,042 --> 00:29:41,546
gh.
A week should 
be more than enou

65
00:30:06,070 --> 00:30:09,407
...with weapons
supplied by the Soviet Union.

66
00:31:01,793 --> 00:31:04,629
...from the Sinai
and the Gaza Strip.

67
00:31:11,302 --> 00:31:14,806
...to the neighbors of Israel.

68
00:31:31,789 --> 00:31:34,826
...disease, illiteracy?

69
00:31:55,847 --> 00:31:59,851
The betterment of all our lands,
and all our people...

70
00:32:22,540 --> 00:32:24,809
And we would have to fight
again.

71
00:32:27,078 --> 00:32:29,580
Thank you, Mr. President.

72
00:33:03,982 --> 00:33:06,985
(revelers hollering)

73
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,189
:
Mrs. Meir,
my question is

74
00:34:35,740 --> 00:34:38,609
They get up-to-date weapon
s from the Soviet Union...

75
00:35:11,142 --> 00:35:14,946
And if you were in my position
, sir, what would you do?

76
00:35:26,390 --> 00:35:29,227
(revelers hollering)

77
00:35:43,074 --> 00:35:47,078
You come.
Come now. Come.

78
00:36:17,808 --> 00:36:20,811
(women shrieking)

79
00:36:40,097 --> 00:36:43,000

(dove twittering)

81
00:37:43,694 --> 00:37:45,963
Lou (voiceover):
And she never did.

82
00:38:48,359 --> 00:38:50,261
I think we should
have the same chance.

83
00:39:04,108 --> 00:39:06,077
Is this a subj
ect for chatting?

84
00:39:08,612 --> 00:39:11,182
(chuckling)

85
00:39:18,689 --> 00:39:20,591
I must wash my hai
r and think.

86
00:39:37,908 --> 00:39:40,244
Before it really is too late.

87
00:39:50,955 --> 00:39:53,524
(telephone ringing)

88
00:40:15,513 --> 00:40:18,482

00:40:24,455 --> 00:40:27,224

90
00:40:43,240 --> 00:40:45,910
(birds twittering)

91
00:41:45,369 --> 00:41:47,304
Yes. I know you,
Mr. Kedem.

92
00:41:48,272 --> 00:41:51,108
d?
What--? What happene

93
00:42:04,889 --> 00:42:07,391
...soon after
he went into the apartment.

94
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,643
(orchestral music)

95
00:43:30,608 --> 00:43:33,477
If she didn't, I'd quit.

96
00:43:35,245 --> 00:43:38,816
Those lumps don't mean anything,
do they?

97
00:43:43,253 --> 00:43:45,322
They do?

98
00:43:47,992 --> 00:43:49,293
They do.

99
00:43:54,465 --> 00:43:57,468
.
Nu. Let's hear

100
00:44:04,575 --> 00:44:08,946
...is a disease
of the lymphatic system
called lymphoma.

101
00:44:11,281 --> 00:44:13,751
Malignant lymphoma.

102
00:44:15,285 --> 00:44:18,222
Malignant, I understand.

103
00:44:23,327 --> 00:44:26,296
Eventually,
it penetrates the other systems.

104
00:44:39,343 --> 00:44:42,312
I'd say you have
a good few years ahead of you.

105
00:44:52,289 --> 00:44:55,292
But the question is:
Those few years...

106
00:45:17,014 --> 00:45:20,017
Your mind won't be affected.

107
00:46:26,216 --> 00:46:28,218
r.
Agreed, Mrs. Mei

108
00:46:36,226 --> 00:46:39,730
Would it hurt you
to call me Golda,
like everybody else?

109
00:47:15,299 --> 00:47:17,801
...much less retired?

110
00:47:20,804 --> 00:47:24,308
.
...with books
that I've been wanting to read

111
00:47:28,312 --> 00:47:30,113
I like the movies, you know.

112
00:47:44,628 --> 00:47:47,097
The way I'm forever rushing now.

113
00:48:07,985 --> 00:48:11,955
How can you desert
a brand new Prime Minister
of your own party?

114
00:48:19,830 --> 00:48:23,367
I suppose if Eshkol needs 
me, I'll stay that long.

115
00:48:52,930 --> 00:48:55,933
(siren wailing)

116
00:49:25,829 --> 00:49:30,133
Man (shouting):
This ambulance is ready to go.
Send another ambulance.

117
00:49:54,191 --> 00:49:57,694
...including plane
s and pilots.

118
00:50:42,873 --> 00:50:46,376
If we accept all thi
s, we might as well
cut our throats.

119
00:50:50,213 --> 00:50:52,049
da.
Come back to work, Gol

120
00:51:00,190 --> 00:51:02,159
y.
I am saying run the part

121
00:51:09,466 --> 00:51:11,968
...you could unite the party
like nobody else.

122
00:51:19,810 --> 00:51:22,379
(ringing)

123
00:51:26,383 --> 00:51:29,386
Hello. Kibbutz Revivim.

124
00:53:20,730 --> 00:53:22,599
The Western Wall.

125
00:53:49,025 --> 00:53:51,561
No, not this time.

126
00:54:40,210 --> 00:54:44,247
I'm sure He doesn't know it yet.
Wait till He finds out.

127
00:55:32,262 --> 00:55:34,597
If you're tired,
then drive yourself home.

128
00:55:40,570 --> 00:55:42,639
(cheering)

129
00:55:58,955 --> 00:56:01,958

u.
Golda:
Thank yo

131
00:56:38,661 --> 00:56:40,997
I don't even know
what you're saying.

132
00:56:49,539 --> 00:56:52,208
...you're the only one
who could unite the country.

133
00:56:57,714 --> 00:57:00,216
Now it is the whole country.

134
00:57:05,722 --> 00:57:10,226
...and help to build a homelan
d in a plain and simple way.

135
00:57:31,247 --> 00:57:34,751
No matter.
You're in good health, right?

136
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,762
(chuckles)

137
00:57:46,262 --> 00:57:49,766
t.
I did enjoy my retiremen

138
00:57:52,769 --> 00:57:55,772
Yeah. The hell you did.

139
00:58:15,425 --> 00:58:18,428
...may become militaristic.

140
00:58:27,937 --> 00:58:30,707
...and dead Jewish people.

141
00:58:49,993 --> 00:58:54,497
...is fundamental
for the Jewish renaissance.

142
00:59:07,977 --> 00:59:10,513

(gasping)

147
01:01:18,041 --> 01:01:21,511
me.
Lou. Come and get

148
01:01:26,949 --> 01:01:28,951
(tires screech)

149
01:01:53,242 --> 01:01:55,745
...of blowing things
out of all proportions.

150
01:02:00,216 --> 01:02:02,251
Do you feel better now?

151
01:02:20,203 --> 01:02:22,271
(chattering)

152
01:02:42,291 --> 01:02:43,726
on.
Avi:
Put the coats

153
01:02:52,935 --> 01:02:55,738
(chuckling)

154
01:03:45,288 --> 01:03:49,292
Remember, if it makes my h
air fall out just one hair...

155
01:05:21,183 --> 01:05:23,185
Never has been.

156
01:05:33,763 --> 01:05:36,265
u.
Won't you come in, please?
Thank yo

157
01:05:45,174 --> 01:05:46,676
Thank you.

158
01:05:55,184 --> 01:05:58,688
No, coffee's fine,
thank you.

(birds chirping)

160
01:06:36,292 --> 01:06:40,296
And if I know he
r, a little somethi
ng to go with it.

161
01:06:56,479 --> 01:06:58,014
Uh-huh.

162
01:07:05,521 --> 01:07:07,523
There. Sit down.

163
01:07:13,963 --> 01:07:17,967
There, I'll just bring this
out to the boys
and I'll be right back.

164
01:07:19,468 --> 01:07:21,037
Mmm.

165
01:07:40,156 --> 01:07:43,159
(men laughing)

166
01:07:45,294 --> 01:07:47,696
(dishes clanging)

167
01:08:24,033 --> 01:08:26,535
.
...comparable
to the Starfighter

168
01:08:44,053 --> 01:08:48,424
No, the plane we n
eed is the Phantom.

169
01:08:52,294 --> 01:08:53,596
Let's talk tanks.

170
01:09:19,455 --> 01:09:22,825
...at a range of a thousan
d to 1200 yards.

171
01:09:24,260 --> 01:09:26,262
..
Oh, Senator, please.

172
01:09:27,763 --> 01:09:31,167
.
...sell us the M60

173
01:09:33,602 --> 01:09:37,506
My dear lady,
how do you keep up on all this?

174
01:09:48,017 --> 01:09:50,953
e.
But we have no choic

175
01:10:09,638 --> 01:10:11,640
No peace.

176
01:10:53,916 --> 01:10:56,785
(crickets chirping)

177
01:11:01,190 --> 01:11:04,526
Alright.
What about the recipe
for your honey cake?

178
01:11:41,430 --> 01:11:43,932
Without calling up
the Reserves...

179
01:11:46,435 --> 01:11:48,437
...8,500 men...

180
01:11:49,438 --> 01:11:52,941
...276 tanks.

181
01:12:00,449 --> 01:12:05,454
Seventeen-hundred tanks
against our 176.

182
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:07,790
?
What does intelligence say

183
01:12:12,628 --> 01:12:15,531
We think they somehow
got the idea we may attack them.

184
01:12:25,574 --> 01:12:27,910
Sadat simply has his army
on maneuvers.

185
01:12:32,381 --> 01:12:33,949
(men shouting outside)

186
01:12:36,952 --> 01:12:39,922
Man (shouting outside):
Hurry up. We'll miss our unit.

187
01:12:58,907 --> 01:13:01,744
(airplane flying overhead)

188
01:13:36,578 --> 01:13:40,482
And the vote
was against mobilizati
on, unanimously.

...evacuating the families
of Russian military adviso

This does not alter
our current assessme

192
01:14:51,286 --> 01:14:54,289

193
01:15:47,376 --> 01:15:49,878
(orchestral music)

194
01:16:33,221 --> 01:16:37,826
Dado, I know
that your approach
can save lives up front.

195
01:16:44,666 --> 01:16:49,171
If we strike first
, we'll get nothing
from anyone.

196
01:16:50,639 --> 01:16:53,141
e.
No pre-emptive strik

197
01:16:56,044 --> 01:16:59,047
(orchestral music)

198
01:17:03,652 --> 01:17:07,723
...the Syrians
shelled Israeli positions
and then attacked.

199
01:17:14,062 --> 01:17:18,533
In the south, the Egyptians
crossed the Suez Canal
along its entire length.

200
01:17:49,564 --> 01:17:51,500
(telephone ringing)

201
01:17:53,435 --> 01:17:56,004
)
(ringing

202
01:18:01,943 --> 01:18:03,512
Hello?

203

(shouting)
Well? Has the airlift starte

01:19:14,216 --> 01:19:17,185
Tell Kissinger he can slee

206
01:19:55,390 --> 01:19:57,926
...Israeli forces
took the offensive.

(incoming missile)

208
01:20:15,577 --> 01:20:19,447
Thank God
we rejected the temptation
to strike first.

209
01:21:08,597 --> 01:21:12,100
...operating
in the Egyptian territory.

210
01:22:10,926 --> 01:22:13,295
A kind of national trauma
set in.

211
01:23:39,180 --> 01:23:41,249
(shouts)
Murderers.

212
01:23:45,253 --> 01:23:47,922
Do you want to know
what I tell my children?

213
01:23:50,525 --> 01:23:52,327
I tell them
you killed their father.

214
01:24:17,318 --> 01:24:20,822
Especially when the other si
de suddenly attacks.

215
01:24:34,836 --> 01:24:37,839
Those people
are not like our people.

216
01:24:41,843 --> 01:24:44,846
...that's why God chose us?

217
01:24:57,692 --> 01:25:00,695
Yes, yes,
I suppose so.

218
01:25:02,730 --> 01:25:04,732
Well.

219
01:25:17,745 --> 01:25:20,748
eh?
"Woman Most Admired",

220
01:25:21,749 --> 01:25:24,252
?
Would Morris have voted for me

221
01:25:29,757 --> 01:25:33,261
...maybe there is somethin
g I would change.

222
01:25:48,276 --> 01:25:50,278
My whole life.

(children chattering)

224
01:26:11,466 --> 01:26:14,969
Golda:
Well, there was
a number of reasons.

225
01:26:58,413 --> 01:27:00,815
s?
...between Israel
and those other countrie

226
01:27:01,182 --> 01:27:02,750
Yes.

227
01:27:09,991 --> 01:27:11,559
e?
When will that b

228
01:27:18,566 --> 01:27:20,568
...more than they hate us.

229
01:27:22,070 --> 01:27:25,073
That's when peace will come.

230
01:27:26,274 --> 01:27:28,843
(birds chirping)

231
01:27:46,794 --> 01:27:49,297
How about your frien
ds and your enemies?

232
01:28:06,147 --> 01:28:08,149
Not just talking about it?

233
01:28:23,331 --> 01:28:26,834
...I'd like to see somebody try
to keep me away.

234
01:28:33,074 --> 01:28:36,411

235
01:28:54,796 --> 01:28:57,332

...devoid of any scheme or whim.

237
01:30:18,679 --> 01:30:22,049
...is not the same
as meeting face-to-face.

238
01:30:35,430 --> 01:30:37,732
...and safe for us.

239
01:30:42,770 --> 01:30:46,774
...I want to say something
to President Sadat:

240
01:30:49,777 --> 01:30:52,346
(laughing)

241
01:31:26,848 --> 01:31:30,284
...I have a little gift
for your granddaughter.

242
01:31:38,960 --> 01:31:40,995
Let us...

243
01:31:41,963 --> 01:31:43,498

...in Geneva...

245
01:31:59,013 --> 01:32:02,517
...that has taken place
between us.

246

(crowd applauding)

247
