601 - Carlos, Part 3, France, 2010. Dir. Olivier Assayas.

Budapest, 1979.

Carlos and Magdalena set up shop.

Hungary is a socialist nation.  They tell him he can receive friends and move about Hungary as he pleases.  But he has no right to set up operations there.

He goes to Tripoli, Libya.

He goes to Aden, Yemen.

Syria protects him.

He works with other countries and regimes.

Libya.

Romania.

Nicolae Ceausesu.

He sets up deals.

He smuggles guns.

He makes lots of money.

Until it all come crashing down.

Communism falls.

The Berlin Wall is dismantled.

Carlos must leave Syria.

He goes to Sudan.

He loses his supporters.

He watches as an outsider.

He gets ill.

He is captured.

Nothing lasts forever.

Not the least the life and work of a communist terrorist.
