01x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

- Bonnefond is still snooping.

- We have to keep him at bay.

I'll see what I can do.

- Baron, it's Gisèle. She's missing.

- What?

So, we're getting hoodwinked

by kids, now?

There's no Louis Duval

at that address.

Little man. I miss you.

- Care to dance?

- No, I don't dance. Sorry.

She doesn't dance!

Thank you for coming so quickly.

I have news for you.

Both good and bad.

I had to exhume Professor Mazauric.

- It's the wrong body.

- What?

Which leads me to conclude

that Mazauric is alive.

If Mazauric is with them,

their program will develop

much more quickly.

Ferraud?

THE SENTINELS

The body was burned to a cinder,

Minister.

It was identified too hastily.

The information we received from

the Second Bureau is quite clear:

there's a high-ranking individual

in the penitentiary fort at Wolxheim,

a man whose identity

has been carefully concealed.

It's Mazauric.

If Mazauric cooperates,

then the army of super-soldiers

he was building for us

he could build it for them, too.

And to build this army

How long will it take?

A few months?

It could even be a few weeks,

Minister.

So, you're telling me

that before summer is here,

that soldier we saw in action

there could be dozens,

even hundreds of soldiers like him

marching on Paris?

That's the hypothesis

that we should be preparing for,

Minister.

We must do all we can

to stop them building that army.

What are our options?

The fort is on the German border.

And Mazauric will be transferred

further north on Thursday morning.

That gives us barely 48 hours.

What's your plan?

Recapture Alsace-Lorraine?

The Sentinels, Minister.

The Sentinels.

They've already failed once.

They're the only option we have left.

If you won't tell me what happened,

I can't help you.

That's why you came here, isn't it?

Then tell me.

It's still happening.

- What is?

- The visions in my head.

I slaughtered them.

Slaughtered who, exactly?

Some men in the street.

Had you taken the serum?

No.

How is that possible?

Your levels keep rising.

It's as if your body were producing

its own Dyxenal.

My colleague and I think

it may be a hormone.

- But it's hard to say which

- So you have no idea.

You're toying with people's lives.

Colonel Mirreau told you,

it's research.

This is uncharted territory.

But I'm a threat.

Just like my father.

I just want to see my family again.

But not like this.

Not in this state.

- I understand.

- Then help me.

Help me.

We'll find a way.

I'll help you, Gabriel.

I promise.

I won't let you down.

I promise.

Everything alright?

Yes.

What happened?

I think I saw Gabriel.

What are you talking about?

I was in a cafe yesterday, and

I don't know.

A man came in, and

It was just my imagination.

This is a difficult time for you.

I should go and get ready.

It's, what, 100 kilometers

behind the German line?

108 kilometers.

You have two days, at most.

After that, Mazauric gets transferred

and it will be too late.

Captain Martin is waiting

in Bois-Léger.

His scouts will help you

to cross the line.

The 11th a*tillery

will give you a hand.

On your signal,

the LGP will bombard the Germans

outside Bois-Léger.

You go in

while they're busy taking cover.

a*tillery,

helping the infantry for once!

Believe me, I wish I didn't have

to send you on this mission.

Because it's suicide?

No. But difficult.

Difficult?

It is imperative

that we extract Mazauric.

That's why you're being

given Dyxenal.

To win this w*r.

Get your daily paper!

Ladies and gents!

The Mirror, just 25 centimes!

Mr. Monnetier?

Thank you for agreeing to meet.

Legionaries aged 30 and over,

with tattoos, drafted before 1912.

There are at least

100 profiles that match.

I'll look through them. Thanks.

- I'll get back to the Ministry.

- Wait.

I had asked you about

Colonel Mirreau.

- Didn't you find anything?

- I had to stop looking.

Even mentioning his name

put me at risk.

Wait!

Please.

It's important.

Very well.

Ferraud?

We haven't had much time to talk

since you came here.

I know

what you're going through is

difficult.

You'll be fighting for France,

honoring our patriots

Spare me the f*cking speech.

Fontanay is analyzing the problem

Your serum is the problem.

That stuff is driving me mad.

I need to get off it.

We'll look into that

when you get back.

I'll make sure of it.

I build warriors for the b*ttlefield,

not the streets of Paris.

Yes, I heard about

your little night on the town.

Bring me Mazauric,

and I'll do what I can

to keep you out of the labor camp.

Baron, it seems we have guests.

And you are?

Call me Diane.

I'll be taking over from Gruber.

We're looking for information

on the Sentinels program.

No. I don't work

for the Germans anymore.

It's too dangerous.

You can keep your money.

Perhaps another kind of reward

will persuade you

to reconsider our offer.

I doubt it.

The answer's still no.

What if I told you

we can help to find your protégé?

Gisèle.

Do you know something?

Get me information on this man.

His name, whether he has a family,

his abilities

Do this for me, Baron,

and I shall help you.

Louis?

FRONT LINE

BOIS-LÉGER

- Where's Captain Martin?

- Over there.

Okay, guys, fall back!

Benny, with me!

Wait, wait!

- Captain Martin?

- That's me.

- Where are your scouts?

- Scouts?

- To guide us over the line.

- They're all dead.

I sent Command a message

telling you not to come.

You won't be crossing the line

here, guys. Sorry.

- You're pulling back?

- We're at breaking point.

- We're retreating 4 kms.

- Can we still get through?

If you leave now, maybe.

This tunnel goes 500 meters

up to the front line.

After that,

it's open ground for 3 kms

from the line here

to the forest, there.

That's the German line,

or it was, two hours ago.

- We've lost Ferald!

- Find Bogui. He's in charge now!

a*tillery need to strike

once we're in position.

Is there a radio

for us to contact you?

Our guy over there has one,

if he's still alive.

- No time to waste.

- Good luck.

Okay, guys, keep going!

Hurry up!

Fall back! Keep moving!

- Is this Trench 17?

- Yes.

Come on, guys!

Over here!

The Captain warned me.

You're crossing over?

That's us.

We're under fire. The Bosch have

a machine g*n 200 meters away.

Radio the Captain and tell him

to ready the a*tillery.

Radio. Put me through to Command.

Couturier!

Two days! Two days!

You can go. They're ready to fire.

Who's he?

Leonard.

He's refusing to fall back.

We tried to reason with him

but he put two of us in hospital.

I don't know what your mission is,

soldier, but

good luck.

Okay, guys, fall back! Move it!

Couturier!

And you shot at him!

Couturier

Vengeance!

Couturier had two days left!

He was so close!

Couturier! Two more days!

Straight ahead.

Let's go.

sh*t. Why did a*tillery stop firing?

Keep going. We have no choice.

Two days,

and Couturier was going home!

And you! You shot him!

That idiot will blow our cover.

Couturier!

- Vengeance!

- sh*t.

Two days and he'd be home!

Show yourself!

And you shot him!

You okay?

That was close.

How many are there?

Two or three on the machine g*n.

And two up the slope.

Leave it to me.

Don't mess this up.

sh*t!

On the right!

Welcome to Germany.

Hey, sweetie!

Are you lost?

VETERAN'S CARD

No.

None of those.

- Are you sure?

- Oh, yeah.

Wait.

Him.

That's him?

Yes. I recognize him.

Corporal Charpentier.

What?

You saw this man

fighting in the street in 1906?

Yes, ma'am.

- You don't believe me?

- No, I do, but

It says he died in Morocco in 1904.

If he's dead, then maybe

it's a ghost.

Are you awake, my love?

- Louis?

- Yes?

Why are you doing this?

It's nothing personal.

I take no pleasure in this.

No pleasure?

Just relax,

tonight it will all be over.

I'll take you to my employers.

Who?

Some people.

- Open your mouth.

- Stop it.

Untie me.

Untie me.

Untie me.

You're going nowhere.

- If the Baron finds you

- That will never happen.

We'll go our separate ways, far away.

And we'll never meet again.

What's he playing at?

Another guy who's lost his mind!

Hey, you! Move aside!

sh*t.

Gentlemen

Get out!

Hurry up.

Miss Fontanay?

Captain.

Since you haven't yet come

to speak to me

I decided I ought to come to you.

- I'm working, Captain.

- Yes.

I'm working too, Miss Fontanay.

At what age

did you get your PhD?

You were 25, weren't you?

That's quite impressive,

for a farm-laborer's daughter.

Thank you.

You could have found work

at any of our finest hospitals.

Why did you choose this program?

It meant I could work in a field

at the very forefront of progress,

that will revolutionize science.

It's also a field

with a very high rate of failure.

Losing men

when you're meant to save them.

I can't imagine that's what drove you

to become a doctor, is it?

I work for the French Army, sir,

not the Red Cross.

Working with Colonel Mirreau,

I knew the mission was a challenge.

But I accepted it,

hoping to save thousands of lives.

You still believe that?

Of course.

When did you start working here?

1909? 1910?

September 1911.

So, you never worked

on Project Atlas.

Project Atlas.

The precursor to the Sentinels.

What? Didn't Mazauric

or Mirreau ever mention it to you?

No.

Strange, how a whole project

can suddenly vanish from the shelves.

I'll leave you to it.

If there's any information

you wish to share with me

Captain.

Colonel.

- Miss Fontanay.

- Captain.

Was he interrogating you?

Is there anything I ought to know?

No.

Believe me.

Sometimes ignorance

is the best defense.

Don't worry.

Bonnefond won't bother you again.

WOLXHEIM PENITENTIARY FOR

GERMANY

Thank you.

I'm Maximilian Neuer.

You don't know me but I worked

for Jurgen Streller until he died.

The ambitious Mr. Neuer.

Streller admired your work.

As do I, very much.

Especially your research

on the serum.

I've been inspired by that,

but with limited success, so far.

Without genius,

there are some problems

that can never be solved.

I won't help you.

I'm prepared to die.

Naturally.

Of course.

But

your wife,

and your ten-year-old son

Do you think they're ready to face

the consequences of your decision?

Think about it, Professor.

- You're

- Yes?

Despicable.

Not yet.

But if you don't cooperate,

I promise we will be.

Think it over for a few hours.

Once you're feeling more cooperative,

we can get to work.

I look forward to it, Professor.

The term may sound

a little excessive,

but I see you as a mentor.

Good day, Professor.

MINISTRY OF w*r

- General.

- Bonnefond.

Your department and mine haven't

had much time to talk recently.

I'm sorry about that.

You have a w*r to fight, sir.

I read your reports.

Always precise and well-informed.

What you've accomplished

takes tenacity.

It's remarkable.

Thank you, sir.

I need you in Lyon, Bonnefond.

In Lyon?

They're getting rather careless

down there.

- Yes, but

-General Grangeray needs a firm hand.

You can bring

some rigor and discipline.

I

have to

I'd prefer to stay in Paris, sir.

This is a promotion, Bonnefond.

Yes, but

my inquiry into the lab attack

isn't nearly finished.

I have to question more suspects

and I'm finding connections

to organized crime.

As for Colonel Mirreau,

quite frankly, I have doubts

I also have my doubts.

Not of the same kind, but

You'll be more useful in Lyon.

- And my inquiry?

- Magnin will take it on.

Magnin?

He's already got his hands full.

- He has so many cases

- They're expecting you, Captain.

I'm counting on you.

Keep sending me your reports.

I always find them most enlightening.

Sir.

You asked to see me?

Have you thought it over, Professor?

I'll help you.

Wonderful news,

Professor Mazauric.

Yes?

Ferraud.

It's his wife.

She's snooping around.

Our informants tell me she's writing

an article on our activities.

I'll handle it.

Who are you?

Who are you?
