This is what the beat cop said.

You said you wanted to know

how to get Capone.

Do you really want to get him?

You see what l’m saying?

- What are you prepared to do?

- Everything within the law.

And then what are you

prepared to do?

lf you open the ball

on these people,

you must be prepared

to go all the way.

Because they won’t give up the fight

until one of you is dead.

l want to get Capone.

l don’t know how.

Here’s how you get Capone:

he pulls a knife, you pull a gun.

He sends one of yours to hospital,

you send one of his to the morgue!

That’s the Chicago way!

And that’s how you get Capone.

What this has to do with the situation Israel finds itself in? Well I will let you figure that out for yourself.

—-

Your Honour, the truth is that Capone

is a killer and he will go free.

There is only one way to deal with

such men, and that is hunt them down.

l have. l have forsworn myself.

l have broken laws l swore to defend.

l am content that l have done right.

That man must be stopped…

By the way, who said,”It is better to do evil than be evil?” One hint, it was the same man who said “it is better for a lover of the truth to tell a lie than a liar to tell the truth”.

One matter further, gentlemen.

We fight on their level.

With trickery, brutality, finality.

We match their evil.

I know, James. I was reputed to be a gentle man.

But I was commander in chief…

during the four bloodiest years of my country’s history.

I gave orders that sent…

a hundred thousand men to their death…

at the hands of their brothers.

[ Sighs ]

There is no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy.

There is nothing good in war except its ending.

[ Sighs ]

And you are fighting for the lives of your crew.

—-

You are the survivors.

The others have run off.

It would seem that evil retreats when forcibly confronted.

However, you have failed to demonstrate to me…

any other difference between your philosophies.

Your good and your evil use the same methods,

achieve the same results.

Do you have an explanation?

You established the methods and the goals.

For you to use as you chose.

What did you offer the others if they won?

What they wanted most– power.

You offered me the lives of my crew.
