it's just a bootable key
It's used for?
if the operating system is dead ...
we can still start
a PC with this

and access what's in the PC
is there anything else on the key?
no. it's a homemade system.
it is well done
it is used for nothing else?
for someone normal, no
after all, we all use keys like that.
This is the same kind of bootable key
we use it if we want to use a PC
without leaving traces
you're telling me
there is nothing on the key
everything is elsewhere
on a server, for example.
I just start my PC with the key
I do what I do and when I remove the key,
there is no longer any trace of my passage.
call vera chupak, please
This is Vera.
It's Mikhail.
I had a message to pass to Sylvain, but I can't reach him
Is he with you?
I had a message to pass to Sylvain, but I can't reach him

how do you know where i work?
I am like a father for Sylvain.
And you don't know where he is?
Why should I answer you?
you know that Sylvain is working in a sensitive area.
When I say sensitive I mean secure.
And what does that mean?
It means that you have to answer my questions.
he is in phnom penh
I know.
That's all I know.
He only answers his cell phone.
I cannot do for you. Sorry. We are no longer together.
When you were there, was he okay?
I don't know what that means at home.
it's a little weird, you know right?
Didn't he tell you he had to go somewhere?
He never told me anything.
if he ever calls you back ...
I don't want to answer him, am I obliged?
It's me.
Book me a ticket on the next flight to Phnom Penh.
For Phnom Penh!
- He took the 6:12 flight.
He arrives at 9 p.m. in Phnom Penh.
- It begins.

Do you remember?
I'm going to the hospital today
are you having an operation?
how long will you be away?
three days.
Nothing serious, I hope?
No, no. Don't worry.
Goodbye.
Bye, Paul. Good luck.

Black September.
Okay... Black September
- OK.
Okay... Black September
Okay... Black September
is a channel that we control.
If the French are aware,
they could use this channel to confuse us
I want us to carefully peel through all the files...
to see if there is any information that has been unfavorable to us.
If we see that we've been trapped once or twice
then Pavel Lebedev may be a double-agent.
It's a lot.
All the more reason not to waste any time.

- Malotru just left
the medical center.
Everything is fine.

- Three hours ago.
- How many hours of flight?

He will be in Phnom Penh in 8 hours.
It’s easy to wait 24 hours.
What are you doing ?
- I have to warn someone.
What's the matter ?
You are afraid that I will call
my russian friends?
I wouldn't need
a new phone for that.

- Me too.
Thrilling music

- Okay.
- Paul ...
I need to know
who you were speaking with.
- Someone I'm sheltering.
- I thought there was
only Samara Semionova.
- There is someone else.
- Who ?
What you do may be
a problem for the operation.
- What did I do ?
- Something unplanned.
I'm not responsible,
for what happened to you.
- It's okay ?
- It's okay.
- Don't worry about the operation.
She sighs.
Thrilling music

* - The flight is canceled.
The next one is in ...
I don't know if there is one

Could they have it canceled?
*- No.
They wouldn't do that

When does your meeting end?
- A little over an hour.

I did not feel safe.
I'm in a taxi.
- OK...
Can you call your think tank
from a landline phone?
- I can ... I can call
the Secretary.
* - Try to contact your colleague
Sylvia at the meeting.
Tell him you couldn't come
because of a personal problem.
Make an appointment
at La Taverne café.
Shmitovskiy Street.
You sit on the terrace.
- If she asks
What is the problem ?
* - You just got dumped.
You need to talk.
*- Okay.
- I'll call you back.
- You have to tell me what's going on.
- I have to go out for a while.
- It's not possible.
- I'll be back

Do what?
Who were you speaking with in French?
- Nadia El Mansour.
- Go with him.
Would you have...
an example of an operation
with Guillaume Debailly
that would have failed?
- No.
- She's going to be arrested.
The whole operation will fall.
...
- Let's go.
...
[In English]
- What do you see ?
- A crying woman.
- Why ?
- I dunno.
She lost someone.
- And the other ?
- A friend who joins her
to console her.
I will check the cars
and join her.
If I don't see anyone,
I will cross my legs.
- We send him over there.
- OK.
...
Alarm
- I am a friend you called
before. You speak to me in English.
It's okay ?
- I ask you if you are alone,
but no. And it's better.
Apologize to her. Say
that I insist that you come.
* - You see the street
in front of you, right?
Yes, that one.
You are going there.
Do not hang up. Pretend.
Put the phone in your bag.
You will come out in 20 m.
You understood well ?
Thrilling music
My dear, if you need anything, call me. I'm here.
Okay?
I know. Thanks.
* - Don't walk too fast.
A car starts.
...
Beep
...
A car is coming.
...
...
Nadia, stop.
Pretend to search
in your bag.
* OK. There is a man
in a gray suit behind you.
Look at him.
Did he look at you?
- He smiled at me.
* - He wouldn't have done that
if he followed you.
At the end of the street,
there is a bus stop.
You take 104.
Get off at the Petrovin stop.
You go up the street.
You will see,
there is a society
car rental.
There is a car in your name.
You will be taken care of.
Did you understand?
- Yes.
Intriguing music

Will we meet again?

Intriguing music
...
[Someone enters.]
I was told you were here.
I wanted to see how my protege was doing.
And so... how is he?
I saw his girlfriend in Moscow.
Not very reassuring.
In what way?
She described to me a person...
less balanced than what I see here.
Intriguing music
less balanced than what I see here.
less balanced than what I see here.
In my opinion, he's very organized.
Is there any news?
No.
He is in Seoul. That's all I know.
He is accompanied.
How many passports does he have?
Only one, his own.
I came for nothing then.
I won't be able to answer that.
I don't know why you came.
...
[transferred call]
...
...
- Raymond!
Vibrator
...
Do you know where I am?
We must see each other.
I will text you my address.
I know your address.
Not this one.
...
Fifty fifty.
* - Fifty-fifty, yes.
Either he comes alone
and we make him a proposal,
or else he warned everyone.
He stops everyone who is there.
So you come back.
- You come to wish me
good luck.
You have no reason to stay.
Pépé is there to protect me.
He was not there the last time.
That's why
that it went wrong.
- It will be alright.
Clicking of keyboards
- Thank you.
...
Oh !
You've got something?
...
I think so.
...
I think so.
On December 7, 2017, the Americans used Black September
to transmit a message to the French
that on December 9
they will be running a commando operation
against a chemical weapons warehouse in the suburbs of Aleppo.
Isn't that where we were caught emptying a warehouse?
I believe so.
We moved the chemical weapons stock on December 8, 2018.
We were surprised by UN inspectors...
because it was precisely the day scheduled for an inspection
The commando operation was an intoxication.
Is that sufficient?
No.
It might be a coincidence.
We keep looking.
If we find something else, that's when we're sure.
- No time to go back
home ?
Do you know what it is?
- Yeah, it's huge.
- Is that so ?
OK ... you don't know.
- Here.
She knocks.
- Yes ?
Raymond. Between.
Sorry to take you on the fly.
- No problem.
- Where are we? Do we have anything new?
- Kennedy will land
in a few hours.
- Who's with Guillaume?
Grandpa?
- Yes.
- Michel, why are we here?
- I have two things to tell you.
- To me ?
- Yes.
I wanted Raymond to be there.
Un: Mille Sabords remains on a mission.
- He's coasting.
- He asks questions
about Malotru.
- It disturbs him in his work.
- Of them :
he was told the truth about Malotru.
Operation Kennedy is launched.
Whatever happens,
Kennedy will understand
that we have never been fooled
of the death of Paul Lefebvre.
- OK.
- I understand how you felt
for Mille Sabords and Pacemaker.
They were disturbed by
revelations in the press.
They had
disturbing behavior.
We can't work with
people if we have any doubts about them.
Melancholic music
...
- Are you going to stop by your house?
- Yes, unless ...
- come to my office
two minutes.
- Thank you.
- This is the first time in 25 years
that I am disowned at this point.
It had to happen.
It was missing from my experience.
You're a funny fish, Raymond.
I am one of those
who haven't underestimated you.
- A small club.
- Do not say that.
You are extremely reliable.
And beneath the mocking exterior
that everyone appreciates,
you are thorough
and unfailingly loyal.
It is rare for this service.
That is why
I will suggest that you direct
the legends office when I leave.
That is to say tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
- You'll go ?
- Michel finished me.
"Terminated", in English.
Do you realize it?
- I wouldn't say it like that.
- How would you say it?
He thinks I'm crazy.
It was very useful
during a moment,
and it is likely
that I have crossed the line.
- If you already realize ...
- It's time to go
before it escalates.
Whatever the outcome
of Operation Kennedy,
it's over for me.
Either I end on a success,
a real success.
If Kennedy is recruited,
it will remain in the annals.
Or I leave on a failure,
like so many others ...
We will have tried, we will have lost.
But I lost
much more than the others.
Because I sacrificed
quite a few things in this operation.
My integrity, in particular.
Thrilling music
Give me Alexis Bakatine in security.
from Mikhail Karlov.
I need to talk to you.
That's good.
Me too. I need to talk to you.
I'll be in your office in one hour.
She left at 10:15.
She went to her work meeting.
Her cellphone remained for several hours in the building.
Then she moved to the cafe La Taverne.
We searched the cellphone. She received two messages at 10:22am.
"What we said yesterday made me realize that our story was going nowhere"
"I prefer that it stops here."
Who sent this?
The messages come from a certain Pavel Lebedev.
Where is she right now?
We don't know.
You don't know?
No. She took a bus, rented a car, and then nothing.
And her phone?
We found it at the rental car agency.
Thanks.
Soft music
...
Someone knocked.
I don't know.
He was admitted yesterday.
Hello, Mikhail.
Excuse me.
Is he being operated on?
for what?
Is it serious?
Did you know that Petrossian was in the hospital?
no.
And that his little friend was missing?
Did you know that Sylvain Ellenstein was in depression in Seoul?
I don't...
What were you doing in Phnom Penh?
Did we send you there to sabotage their work?
The French knew that Black September worked for us.
What makes you say that?
We found a case of probable intoxication by this channel
One case?
Probable?
That's all?
For now.
Do you know who recruited Black September?
Do you really want to attack the head of the 2nd Directorate?
If you continue with this, you will be crushed.
If you drop this, you will prove that you know how to curb your ambitions.
And that is the best way to climb up the hierarchy.
We haven't changed since the USSR.
To succeed,
you don't have to be brilliant
or shabby
you have to be gray and mediocre.
Which do you choose?
Look for the real moles.
Don't invent the ones that can make you shine.
I'll think about it.
Someone knocked.
You will think about it in Kabul.
You are receiving a promotion.
straight from the director
Youri Thikonov convinced him of your qualities
You will ensure the security of our embassy in Afghanistan
In the meantime, we are moving your office
Another team will take care of your files.
Intriguing music
...
Alarm
...
Is it done? -Yes.
What does he have? Is it serious?
A so-called case of intoxication via Black September.
About Petrossian, nothing.
Except that he's undergoing hernia surgery.
Do you guarantee that Bugsy Malone and Petrossian are reliable?
I would be the first to act if I had a doubt.
You guarantee that Bugsy Malone and Petrossian are reliable.
I guarantee it.
...
Very good.

* - Here Beta.
He is alone.
He enters.
...
He arrived. He is alone.
* - Here Epsilon.
No movement here.
...
i'm trying to understand something
The French really did try to k*ll you, right?
Yes.
They missed you?
I do not know.
But you still agreed to work for them again ...
Yes.
I don't know if I would have done the same.
when I was little, my father used to beat me.
but I still wanted him to love me.
Do the French love you now?
It will all depend on you.
What do you propose?
Yes, I know.
I am arrested.
they will suspect me of having intentionally introduced you
they will interrogate Katya and Anton.
They will pressure them...
for me to admit it.
I will confess, and I will be ex*cuted.
can you do that?
How long would I work for you?
Anton has always dreamed of going to France.
Very well.
I will call you to tell you what I decided.
The choice is yours.
We always have the choice.
Congratulations.
Soft music
...
- ... what questions do you ...
Here she is.
I leave you with Sylvie,
who will tell you
things
on clandestine agents.
Hello, Sylvie.
- Hello Michel.
Hello.
- HELLO.
- I see you all have
a form to fill out.
This is called here
the burial form.
There is a question
in this form:
"Would you like
to be an underground agent? "
With a very small check box
next to it.
If you check the box,
the 1st consequence,
is that you are going to stay at
Mortier for 1 year, 1 year and a half.
If you want a day
to be an underground agent,
during the time between missions,
you don't have to expose yourself.
Not travel, not go on
field. We keep you warm.
The others go on an adventure
and live experiences,
you do everything
to keep you virgins.
Anyway, we bury you.
This is so that one day you will be
the DGSE pilot fish.
Those who will have as their mission
to locate abroad
potential traitors.
To be a clandestine agent is to live
abroad for years,
under "IF", fictitious identity.
We also say "under legend".
You are going to practice your trade.
Literature teacher, seismologist,
computer hardware trafficker.
But your real job,
it is to observe.
Track weaknesses, flaws,
angles of attack,
to allow
processing officers to recruit
those called "sources".
They will do it most often
under IF too,
so that the sources neverknow
never with whom they are dealing.
Your job
will destroy people's lives
which are not
necessarily bad.
Just strangers
who work for their country,
and who have access to information
important to our security.
People
that can be called "b*stards"
because they live on the other side
fof the border
and they know things
that their government
wants to hide from us at all costs.
Intriguing music
...
- Goodbye.
