What the f*ck?
Where the hell did that helicopter come from?
A fedpol chopper
flew over the area by chance.
They didn't know we were operating in the area.
What the f*ck?
- Take it easy!
- It's a decision by the power station, OK?
If we'd warned fedpol,
the Iraqis would have demanded
that we be accompanied
by an ICTS vehicle.
With the risk of escape and a device
Zaïd would not have accepted.
You knew about this?
You all knew about it
and nobody told me?
We wanted to preserve confidentiality
to the very end.
Well done, it worked!
Zaïd can thank the DGSE.
He got his grandson back for free.
What good are you since you arrived?
What the f*ck good are you?
What the hell good are you?
Don't touch me, I'll light you on fire!
There's no point in blaming each other!
We're all at 100%
and we're all sick that it all went wrong.
I'm calling Zaïd.
- sh*t.
- Here you go.
Great! Wonderful! Frankly, bravo.
Don't touch me, as*h*le!
He must think the DGSE
trying to eliminate.
Tell them what I told you!
Give them Salwa.
I'm sorry, I can't tell you anything.
It's nothing against you.
You don't have to talk.
I don't?
Yes.
Sometimes you don't have to say anything
and that's fine.
But you...
You're staying with me?
I'm staying with you.
We came for her.
She knew we were here,
she looked in our direction.
I saw in her eyes...
It was like goodbye.
As if...
As if she knew
we weren't going to make it.
Tell them what I told you!
Give them Salwa.
Go!
Are you going to answer, yes?
What's with the video, Zaïd?
Don't talk to me, I don't know you anymore.
But what do you think?
That we tried to pin you down?
What's the point?
You've got a hostage.
What would be the point of that?
Put me through to your boss.
Zaïd,
that was a fedpol chopper.
Take me for a moron,
That'll get things moving.
Listen, France doesn't control the skies
in Iraq.
Nobody knew we were there.
We were as surprised as you were.
I'm the first to say I'm sorry.
Then we'll all go back down.
We've got to start again.
Zaïd?
sh*t.
Do we have a geoloc?
Mosul, Daesh zone,
Ghazlani district, north of the airport.
Nothing more than we already knew.
He'll never let go of his daughter.
Never.
Meaning?
Salwa's mother was a Salafist
from the very beginning.
In the housing estate, she encouraged
men to wage jihad.
Zaïd joined Daesh out of love for her.
He's very attached to his daughter.
He knows that if he doesn't give us Sab,
we'll hand Salwa over to the Kurds.
I'll do it without hesitation.
Once again, we'll negotiate.
And Zaïd will decide again?
What do you propose?
That we go out into the field
to get Sab back, what are we waiting for?
Wait, wait, hey.
We're all tired, frustrated. That's no
a reason to do anything.
I'm taking this to the COS.
Martin!
Remember Tagab in 2010?
- Yeah.
- We didn't stand a chance, and it worked.
- We had the right sources.
- Here too. You know people.
You have contacts with the Iraqis,
connections. Activate them.
Move your guys.
Get some intel.
As soon as we know where she is,
I'll get the go for the operation.
- Okay? We'll get there.
Yeah. Thanks.
I need you to stay with Pierre.
We can't afford
a divergence with them.
I wonder if the DGSE didn't want to
treat Zaïd... without telling us.
Know that we got
a red on Moktar.
Well, I suspected as much.
They have their agenda.
It makes you wonder
if Sab is in their interest.
I want you to mess with Pierre.
You brand him.
You stick to him.
I'll do better than that.
I'll turn him around.
Poor Pierre.
Kev, don't take it the wrong way,
I'm running out of time.
- Matteo hasn't eaten.
- Wait, Val...
- Hi, Dad.
- Hi, big guy.
How's it going? Look who I'm with.
Tyson, so cute.
Dad, we're going to cook the fish.
- I'm the one who caught it.
- You caught a fish by yourself?
I don't believe you. How did you do it?
I caught it in the lake.
Alain taught me.
Uh... Alain?
Who's Alain?
He's her teacher.
Sorry, this isn't a good time.
Okay?
Wait, Val, you don't want to talk to me?
Don't you want to talk a little?
About what?
Uh... I don't know... Uh...
Tell me about yourself.
What? Since when do you care?
Honey, I'll call you back, okay?
- Kisses, Dad.
- Here you go.
Kisses, big guy.
It'll be all right.
Ali!
Hello and welcome.
How are you, my friend?
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
- Nice to meet you, congratulations.
- Thank you very much.
These are for your wife.
Chocolates direct from France.
- Merci beaucoup.
- You're welcome.
With pleasure.
If you want to talk,
that's fine with me right now.
Okay, go ahead.
Please.
- So, how's the newlywed?
- He's fine.
Fine?
Wait for me here.
OK.
Well... I talked to her. My wife's
wants to meet you.
Who's this cousin?
She came especially
for my wedding.
She lives in Mosul.
She works at the hospital.
Where the headquarters
of the Daesh secret police.
Yeah, the Amniyat.
Follow me.
- They're having a blast there.
Downstairs, it's the men,
upstairs, it's the women.
I have the impression that there's more
atmosphere with the women.
Come in, I'll fetch her.
Another coffee?
Ah, no, thank you.
Would you like some company
or would you rather be alone?
I won't be long now.
OK.
Anyway, if you want to talk
with someone, I'm available.
We should celebrate Sab's return.
But we all want to cry.
Kevlar let you have his dog?
Yeah.
He doesn't like to be alone.
Don't you?
Doesn't everyone?
Paco, Martin.
- This is Soraya.
- Hello.
Hello.
Sit down.
You speak French?
Yes.
Ali told me you live
in Mosul, in the Daesh zone.
Your brothers are Daesh.
They let you come to Erbil?
My cousin would have k*lled me
if I'd missed her wedding.
And you work
at the hospital in Mosul?
I'm a nurse.
There's a ward for women.
And...
Do you also make house calls?
In people's homes, in their houses?
Yes, when women are very ill,
they have to give birth,
I go to their homes.
Many women
are no longer allowed to go out,
even to give birth.
So you know Zaïd Osman?
Of course.
Everyone knows him at the hospital.
When was the last time
when was the last time you saw him?
A week ago, something like that.
But I work on the second floor.
The department's closed.
Zaïd never comes where I am.
What about your brothers?
Ali told me
they work at the hospital too.
They guard the cells.
Downstairs, in the basement.
Is that where they keep the prisoners?
I'm ashamed.
We had the same parents,
the same upbringing.
But they...
Daesh destroyed their brains.
Will you help us?
Yes.
I want to help.
We need information,
do you understand?
Yes.
It's very risky.
Aren't you afraid?
With Daesh, I don't have a life anymore.
I'm as good as dead.
Dead alive.
Do you understand?
I want my freedom.
I want to fight for my freedom.
What could we do
for you in exchange?
If you're talking about money,
I don't want money.
I just want to fight against Daesh.
OK.
When are you going back to Mosul?
After the party.
OK, thanks.
You put in GDH on November 12, 2016 at 5 p.m.
Local time.
Hotel Le levant.
Source 22-73
introduced us to source 25-78.
Female gender, Iraqi nationality.
Thirty-one years old, nurse.
Code name: Claude. Languages spoken:
French, Arabic and a little English.
What's her motivation?
Money?
Freedom, I'd say.
She's called herself living dead
since Daesh took over.
Hmm...
For you, she's solid?
In any case,
she's determined, intelligent.
Me, I want to believe it. Paco?
- For me, she's reliable.
Such a promising source,
I have no qualms about it,
let's go for it.
Sorry
for calling at this hour.
It couldn't wait.
Don't tell me there's sh*t going on,
I filled the tank.
We've got taps on Moktar.
We think he's asking a lot
questions about Rachid, about Zaïd...
He's got nothing concrete,
but he won't give up.
You know that if he finds out
that Zaïd is negotiating with us,
Zaïd is dead and Sab...
The problem is...
the days Zaïd was with us,
he gave the excuse
that he was on a mission in Riyadh.
- That doesn't hold water for two minutes.
- Yeah, we're on it.
We've booked Zaïd on a round-trip flight.
Amman-Riyadh on those dates.
His legend,
is that he was taken care of
when he arrived in Riyadh
by a buddy he knew from the GIA.
The guy is one of our sources,
He'll confirm it.
OK, but...
If there are no visas
on his passport,
his legend collapses.
We've thought of that.
You'll have to arrange a meeting
with him to stamp his passport.
- A meeting with Zaïd?
- Yeah.
If he doesn't have a visa to confirm
that he was in Riyadh, he's going to die.
He's not stupid, he'll get moving.
And by the way, uh...
J2, she's doing a good job.
It's a shame to leave her out.
Are you sure?
She's got a right to know.
OK.
Here, I registered my number
in Latifa's name.
Remember it. In case of trouble,
without this phone,
you should be able to contact me.
OK.
We need a keyword.
What do you mean?
A word that will make me understand
that you can't talk.
Er... OK. Baghdad, for example?
I can say something
like 'we're not in Baghdad' or
or 'I haven't heard from Baghdad'.
- We talk about it a lot between us.
- What do you think?
- It's not bad.
- OK, it's good.
OK.
You can contact me
at any time.
Call me, send me a message,
any time.
What exactly are you interested in?
We're looking for a French woman.
Prisoner in Mosul.
Maybe in the hospital.
In the basement?
We don't know.
We're looking.
I'll check.
If there's any trouble,
throw the phone away.
You're not taking any chances, okay?
OK.
I hope
I hope she doesn't go to the dogs.
I hope she doesn't
tell the Amniyat everything.
J'arrive.
L'émir arrive
to boost morale.
We need it.
Tell me.
When he sent you to Riyadh,
what was it for?
I told you.
He ordered me to open accounts
for the transfer of money.
And you were all alone?
Yes.
We're going to question the American spy.
É... Listen.
My brother...
I think the American told us everything.
Even if the news isn't great,
I need news.
For the Emir, I'm the one
who knows more than the others.
Rachid, did you know him?
No.
It's a shame he died
before we got there.
What
are you insinuating, brother?
That I k*lled him?
That's not possible, you were with me.
- What about the Basra oil terminal?
- I don't know...
I don't know, I don't know.
De quoi il parle?
Uh, I don't know...
Ted?
Ted!
Ted!
Fayssal.
Are you okay or what?
- Hello, my friend.
- Hi, friends.
Your daughter has given birth, I hear.
You're a grandfather.
- Yeah, I'm glad.
- Hmm.
My wife chose it for the baby.
- That means a lot to me.
- It's from France.
- Je vous offre un thé.
- Allez.
Merci.
- We'll drink it upstairs.
- Allez.
It'll be quieter.
Well, then Fayssal.
What's so urgent
so urgent to tell us?
There's a guy you might be interested in.
An African. Lives in Mosul.
I knew him
because I sold him alcohol.
He lives in the Daesh zone?
Yes, he's from Togo.
He's a paramedic.
He told me that several times,
he went to treat
an American prisoner.
What kind of prisoner?
A CIA guy.
Daesh tortured him because he held
a lot of information.
I don't believe that story.
There are no American hostages
in Mosul right now.
Yes, this guy is.
Daesh never claimed
for his capture. They held him
until he'd spilled
everything he knew.
And why is he only
only now, your rescue worker?
They k*lled the CIA guy in front of him.
Now what he wants
is to be exfiltrated
him, his wife and his kid.
And he's offering us what in return?
The American prisoner was being held
at Zaïd Osman's house.
The rescue worker visited him
several times.
If you want to locate Zaïd,
he can help you.
He can show you his house,
how to get in and everything.
Does he have proof
or do we have to take his word for it?
He's got DNA.
- What's that?
- It's the American's fingernail.
Daesh pulled out all his fingernails.
OK.
Pierre, this is Red.
Zaïd has arrived at the rendezvous point.
OK, Red. Roger that.
I've spoken to my superiors about you.
We trust you.
You've got a right to know.
Hmm... Well...
Hallelujah.
Red.
We're on our way.
Well taken.
I've got two armed men
outside the door.
I've seen them, it's okay.
We've come to see Zaïd.
No, no, Pierre, please.
Ça devient compliqué
to negotiate with you.
We're going to rat you out to Moktar.
- Why are you helping me, then?
- The DGSE wants to negotiate the hostage with him.
So I'm warning you:
if you don't treat her right, I'll let you go.
Here.
There's your alibi.
Give me your passport.
You went to Riyadh.
There and back.
Boarding passes.
And Salwa?
We make the exchange tomorrow at 6 p.m.
I'm sending you the GPS coordinates
coordinates of the meeting point,
but no bullshit
expl*sive vests, okay?
You make the switch,
take your daughter and go...
away.
This is your last chance.
You're not in bed?
No. We went to see a source
in Erbil. I think it's heavy stuff.
Do you have a lab around here?
I need DNA in a hurry.
- Urgent, how?
- Like right away.
Okay, I'll take care of it.
Thank you.
DNA research on the fingernail
of the so-called American hostage
turned out to be very interesting.
First, there is not one, but two DNAs.
Unknown DNA,
probably that of the American,
but also the DNA
of Corporal Sabrina Besson.
It's as if he scratched her.
So they were together?
They were in contact, necessarily.
Wait a minute. When you passed on
your source's allegations
about an American hostage,
we called their command
to check if they had
any prisoners in the area.
They don't.
According to our informant,
Moktar passed him off as dead
to get as much out of him as possible.
If we give the Americans his DNA,
they'll be able to identify him.
Careful.
The Americans will want to get
the body, and we'll have no control over anything.
He's right.
The Americans don't mess around.
Can we also
not warn them right away?
What would be the consequences?
None. We'll hand over the paramedic
once we've debriefed him,
and they'll deal with it.
We, meanwhile,
we'll have Corporal Besson back.
You're saying that Zaïd Osman has agreed
to make the exchange tonight at 6 p.m.?
Yes, my general.
We have a surveillance drone
over the area
where his house is, but we can't manage
to pinpoint his exact location.
That's why we need the rescue worker.
the rescue worker, he's got all the info.
That way, if the exchange doesn't happen,
we'll go looking for her.
I'll give you the green light.
General.
We're coming up to the rescuer's house.
We'll move as far forward as we can.
The area has been cleared
and cordoned off by the ICTS.
We'll remain vigilant. Bijou, Paco,
you will stay close to the vehicles.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Pst, pst.
Search, search, search.
Come on, search.
Your wife and kid, where are they?
Over there, in the back bedroom.
OK.
Search.
Clear.
Was there a prisoner with the American?
Uh... No.
- No?
- No.
Search.
- Wasn't there a woman?
- No, women are always separated.
OK.
Look for it.
Clear, no explosions.
Martin, we need to move here.
OK, Paco, report.
Martin, I'm spotting armed pax
on the roof in front of you.
Hurry up, we're moving!
Come on.
- Hurry, hurry, hurry! Run, run!
- Go on.
- Go on, get down. Get down!
Contact!
Man down! Man down!
Forty-five, contact, contact!
- OK, come on!
- Hurry, hurry!
- Hurry, hurry!
- Come, come!
- Hurry! Hurry!
- Come, come.
All in.
Close it.
Martin,
I request an air strike.
Charger!
- Shh, shh.
No luck, can't get through.
I need the first aid kit.
I'll send Tyson.
OK. Paco, we'll send the dog.
Tyson!
Yes.
OK, you're the best.
Doumar.
Doumar.
Doumar.
Doumar.
Paco, I'm sending you the dog. Receive.
I need the intraosseous kit.
Roger, sending that to you.
Tyson!
Good boy. Go for it!
Dog equipped, coming your way.
Type two. b*mb on target.
- One AGM-114 ready. Three, two...
- Damn it, Tyson!
Paco, where's Tyson? Is he with you?
Paco,
tell me he's with you.
Negative, no visual.
Paco, I can't see him.
Iir.
Iir.
Iir.
Iir.
That's it. Iir.
Come on. That's it.
That's it, my Tyson. Come on.
Come on, hurry up! Allez!
Martin, it's Soraya.
Yes, it's me.
There's no woman in the basement,
she must be somewhere else.
Damn, it's Zaïd.
- It's Moktar too, isn't it?
- Yeah.
The emir's coming tomorrow.
What about the g*ns?
She didn't hang up.
I'll turn the volume up.
Go to the border
to make sure we get them back.
- You got a problem with that?
- No, not at all.
No, but I had... I had an appointment,
but I'm going to cancel it.
f*ck.
He can't make the switch.
- When do I have to leave?
- Right now.
