The Bureau

FOR SALE

- this is a very sophisticated place

-you are buying a piece
of russian history

-there is a great potential

-We can see
the amount of the work

-The space is large, but
you can add walls

-And with the high ceiling,
you can build.....

- Paul.

You snubbed me.

- It's for me ?

- Why do you want
              whether for you?

- Reflex.

- Paul ...

- Pavel.

- Go for Pavel.

- You're the one coming.

- Yes.

I am a manager
       from the Legends Office.

- And the former director?

- Under other skies.

No more lenient.

- It has been a long time
that you use this place?

- It's the first time.

We created the agency ten years ago.

It worked normally
              all this time.

It's like a a wine of the highest rank.

We were waiting for the right opportunity
                    to use it.

- And there it is.

- Yes.

We call him Kennedy.

You know why ?

- Are you talking about Mikhail?

- You call him Mikhail?

- It is a friend.

- Really ?

Your recommendations
                    to recruit him

are all the more reliable,
                          I imagine.

- Do you want to recruit him?

- We will teach him
              that Sylvain Ellenstein

is not really
Sylvain Ellenstein.

It will be a hard blow for him.

How do you think he will react?

- Either he panics ...

Either he gets everyone arrested.

Me and those around me.

- We'll shelter you.

- Samara Semionova
and his children too.

- Okay.

Who else ?

- That's all.

- And if he panics,
     what can happen?

- He can ask me to help him.

- That's what I think.

- Do you want me to recruit him?
                               - Yes.

You will be his contact.

You are going to have to stay here a little.

- How long ?

- If he cooperated,

how long could it last
           before we exfile it?

- No more than 4 months.

- You will decide.

- And once in France?

- You will be free to decide
           of what you want to do.

- And you ?

- I believe you are right.

I am more certain
   to be an asset to the box.

Probable even
    that I become a problem.

I hear voices

who tell me to finish
on this operation.

You have my end of career
                   between your hands.

- You want it to end
in beauty.

- No, I would just ...

not finish like the real JJA.
        Namely, completely crazy.

- you came
to shake my hand?

- To make sure everything is fine.

And if all goes well,
               so we can talk about it.

- What's this,
your bond with Kennedy?

- He's not a friend.

- It's a personal matter.

- Would that be a problem?

Use box resources
      for a personal matter,

it's something
                   who bothers you

- If you came to trial,
          it's too late.

There has already been
    sentence and execution.

- And the resurrection.

FSB HEADQUARTERS

              Ring

              Yes

  Mikhail, the 4th dept. asks us
for an access to the Petrossian file.

              What level?

 A level which requires
your authorization.

              Refuse!

 Can you write back to me?
I sent you an e-mail..

              O'key!

                Beep

                Denied.

              Alarm

              Hello

 Aleksej, the 2nd dept. requests
an access to the file

  of your stay in Phnom Penh

  - Who?
Karlov

   Refuse!

   Refused!

   Call Barsokov, please!

 I would like to speak with Barsoukov.

Second line..

Hello Sir!

How are you?

Very good.

Good.

I'm calling you because
I have a little problem.

I do not have an access to
the Petrossian file.

It's annoying because I need to know
something very important.

You see,
when a foreigner works with us,

I learned to be itchy.

What do I want to know?
Well, just one thing:

through which channel did we learn

that Petrossian was going to be
eliminated by the Americans in Ukraine?

Yes, I know, this is a very protected data.

Black September

Sure!

Thank you, Boris Anatolievich.
I'll do the checks.

Petrossian works for Yakovlev.

No, he doesn't have access to much,

but it will allow me
to scratch a little less.

Thank you!

He told me that the 2nd dept. calls
the channel "Black September"

and that we had to find out.

Did he tell us how?

We're an intelligence service,
aren't we?

Sleep with someone.

- When did you arrive?
                    - 2 days ago.

I was offered to integrate a
think tank on the future of Syria.

I said yes.

I didn't mean to call you
                      right now.

- Are you going to stay?
                               - Yes.

- And your friend ?

- I left him.

- You're sad ?

- It's never very pleasant,

but I couldn't do otherwise.

And you ?

- I broke with Samara.

- Why ?

- She never had any illusions
on me.

She took me for what I am.

- What are you ?

- I would like to tell you,
       but I have no right.

But it's more complicated
             than in Damascus.

- I tried to move ahead.

I don't mind a simple life,
      but only if you are dead.

If you're alive, I don't want it.

      Breathing breaths

         Intriguing music

Do not move.

I don;t wan to see you anymore.

AMMAN

Cashews?

The best of Amman

Yes, Thanks

                       - Bismillah.

           Whirring

 Are you Andrea Tassonne?

Maybe

What are you waiting for?
Come on, damn it!

I was told that you know
how he was captured.

Yes, I know. I was with him.

Do you want to buy the story?

What are you paying with?

Captagon pills?

Do you want some?

No, thanks

What else can you offer me?

Do you want to interview
the Houthi warlord?

I don't need you for that!

You do for this one!

I am talking for Yusuf Ahmed.

Can you reach him?

He is an old friend.

What do you want to know?

Everything you know about
this Paul Lefebvre.

A fake cameraman.

A real k*ller.

For a minute I thought he was
a former french teacher

turned a reporter for the region.

Wrong.

He was a DGSE agent.

For sure.

Why "a real k*ller"?

Because his mission was
to k*ll a french !sis officer.

Did he successed?

- It's him.

          Hello  [In Italian]

- Looking for Andrea.

- Yes.

I met the german journalist,

Andrea Schnabel,

who knows a lot of people
in the region

and who heard of me.

Yes?

He told me about a french jihadist

who called himself
Toufik al Azrak Dakine

He is already dead.

Hello?

I'm listening.

He told me that he interviewed him

in the day of his death.

And?

I was able to buy the video.

Okay. I'm gonna talk about it.

Was it expensive?

- It's a curse, actually.

I thought Guillaume Debailly
          was a sore,

a wound
    who had infected the service,

but in fact, it is the opposite.

It is this service
that infects everyone.

Mille Sabords tells us:
   "I met Andrea Schnabel".

It means :

"I know who Knight is.

"I know that Paul Lefebvre is
  a hero. Why did we k*ll him? "

- Why don't you tell him
      that Malotru is alive?

- It occupies a territory
   where Russian ears swarm.

It's too risky
for Operation Kennedy.

No.

There is another solution.
   Simpler, less dangerous.

We get Thousand Ports out of the game.

- Shall we call him back?

- Yes. Call him back.

- He's an extremely precious agent.

For the TC, the Arabia office,
                   the Iran office ...

- He is scuttling,Raymond.
Don't you understand that?

His questions about Debailly
        are counterproductive,

dangerous for him
       and for our activities.

We don't to make again and
again the same mistake.

Call him back.
We end Mille Sabords.

- Understood.

When a Thousand Ports
       must see Al Taouf again?

- We do not know,
          he is waiting to be contacted.

Why ?

- nothing.

MOSCOW

- I was followed.

I saw people on the subway and
again at the entrance of your building.

- I work
in a sensitive area.

They pay attention to people
that I frequent meet.

- So, I was followed.

- I told you that
it was more complicated than in Damascus.

- Yes.

I told you I accept it.

          * Soft music

           They whisper.
- One day...

You will have to leave the country
suddenly.

Do you agree with that?

- Yes.

- That day, I will call you,

and I'll give you a passphrase.

You will have to follow instructions.

- Will it be dangerous?

- Not if you do what I tell you.

Or you are leaving
the country now.

- What is the code phrase?

- it is your choice.

- "let's make love."

- "I want to make love."
It's better.

- Okay.

You will say to me:
"I want to make love "

and I will do whatever you want.

You must have no friends
to ask me that.

Do you have friends?

Thank you dear!

Thank you!

My friends,

are dead. Some from sickness,
some from drones [UAV].

Who can I talk to here?

Your office colleagues?

with Mina?

Mina is nice.

Mina ....

She's crazy about you.

And my question?

Listen.

What the hell is it that
you work for us?

She works for her government.

The same people who
put her in the jail.

No.

The think tank which she works for,

reflects on a Russian solution
favorable to Bashar El Assad.

We all make small compromises.

This is not what counts.

What matters,

that's it

and thatt

You really take me for an idiot.

Listen.

I don't care about your story with
your Syrian.

But stop making that funeral face

that I can't stand anymore.

I'm going to send you back
to France, damn!

and that's it.

Go on, damn!

Take it. f*ck her.
Make kids, get married!

Live your life.
What is the problem?

Beware of Bakatin.

He wants to reach me.

and h'll go through you.

and to go through you,

he can go through her.

Ok, Thank you.

Efo32_rn82: Let her tell you
about it today.

Here is an email written by
artificial intelligence,

to Anna, from SozParteiDeuch
online communication.

It's amazing!

            [In English]

Did you get it?

Do you know him?

Yellow Joon.

I met him 1 and half year ago
on DefCON in Las Vegas.

I tried to recruit him.

- And?
- TAO[NSA] was faster.

In the Interview, he said,
he moved to Seoul.

So he isn't anymore with TAO.

No

What do you think of him?

One of the best three in the world.

Along with you?

Not since my girlfriend turned
me into a morone.

Finally you realized it.

It is hard.

You are too French, Sylvain.

Russian women are
incomprehensible,

direct, fatalistic,

raised by men who spit
on the ground

and who are drunk
from the primary school.

Is it what are you like?

Worst. I'm the one spitting
on the ground.

I am going.

Can persuade him to work for us?

Who "us"?

He thinks you're from the DGSE, right?

- Yes.

That is "us", the DGSE.

If he comes here, he'll immediately
understand that it is the FSB.

It will be too late by then,
he will be hooked.

Like you.

it's possible.

Sung Yun will come with you.

I'll have to see Yellow Joon alone.

Having a baby-sitter,
it'll look really suspicious

Sung Yun will only escort
you to Seoul.

You'll operate alone.

- OK.

    - Phnom Penh Airport?

- He left for Seoul.

- Call the station over there.
      Tell them to get it back

once he is gone
      to his date with ...

- Yellow Joon.
           - Yellow Joon.

Is he really in Seoul?
               - No.

This is a fake news fabricated
with DT to attract flies.

- Well done, Sylvain.

It will be
    a splendid exfiltration.

- Have you finished your day?

- No.

- Me neither.

I want to kiss you.

- No time.

- You were right.

- What?

- I have more confidence in JJA.

I want to see Ponte
         to explain to him.

- Serious?

- Serious.

- Concrete?

- No, diffuse. But heavy.

We don't need that.

He is coming.

-New friend?

-Old friend.

Do I need to worry?

Yes. Let me introduce you.

This is Uri,
from the israeli government.

Andrea.

You are full of surprises.

You are supouse to deliver the last
version of Dragonfly to Yusuf Ahmed, right?

I don't know what are you talking about.

Okay.

Maybe I was wrong.

Now supouse somebody ask you...

I can give you what he wants.

So do I.

Not the version I am talking about.

Which version are you talking about?

The one that isn't released yet.

The real one.

Good for you, right,
straight from the factory.

And why are you going to give
it to the iranians?

To help them prepare their defense.

And doing that.....

you are opening the door
for the real attack.

You are smart, Andrea.

You were right.

AMMAN

- I just learned
two amazing things.

One: the guy over there, from Mossad,
         he is from the DGSE.

He is the one who will recruit Al Taouf.

And two, you came back to see me.

Bad news ?

- I dunno.

- In any case, hello.

- They're calling you back in Paris.

You're going to go straight
          at the HRD office,

he will find you a job
  in an import-export company.

Unless they sanction you
or even pursue you.

You do things outside of protocol.

Very dangerous for you
and our operations.

You mix genres
and friezes disloyalty.

- I want to know why.

- They did it
   because they had to do it.

I don't know what they did.

     And I don't want to know.
Believe me, it touches me closely.

- Me too.

- Very good.

You have a choice.

Either you give up knowing,
   either you renounce your mission.

I'm supposed to go back to Paris
  and tell them what you chose.

- And you, did you choose?

- As you see it.

- No problem?

- Yes, that's a problem for me,

but not enough to start
creating problems too.

- OK.

- OK what ?

- If you give up knowing,
        I'll give up knowing too.

- So it's settled.

- You couldn't tell me that
                   on the phone ?

- Did they tell you he was dead?

- No.

- No one told you that Paul
  Lefebvre was dead in Ukraine?

- No.

I didn't know.
     Why didn't they tell me about it?

- When you started asking
questions, after the article,

why didn't they just tell you:
  "It is not true, he is not dead." ?

                     - I dunno.

- That's what I would have done.

I would have told you:
"There is no official confirmation,

"but between us, he is alve,
     he is in action.

"So,
stop pissing off the world. "

- OK.

Why didn't they tell me?

- Because it's true.
          He is not dead.

It's true, it is in operation.

So stop pissing off the world
 or you will compromise the operation.

               Sigh

- Do you know or deduce it?

- If I knew,
     I couldn't tell you.

- OK.

- Goodbye.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.
