Shortly afterwards, security forces find a dead Israeli. The rest of the team is in the hands of men who clearly have nothing to lose. When the leader of the terror squad asks for a negotiating partner, the young policewoman Anna Gerbers, who originally came to Munich as a steward for the games, volunteers.
