Le Bureau des Legendes (2015) s02e10 Episode Script
Season 2, Episode 10
THESE CHARACTERS AND SITUATIONS ARE FICTIONAL.
ANY RESEMBLANCE TO REAL LIFE IS ACCIDENTAL.
THE BUREAU Our mission is simple: to find out what others are hiding from us, others being enemies, foreigners or allies, anyone who is not one of us.
They don't tell us or show us everything and we want to know, so we dig, we sniff' around, we watch, we listen and we recruit.
That's our line of work: intelligence.
We are trained in the art of lying.
We lie to everyone.
That is why loyalty is the ultimate value.
Without it, we are doomed to destroy ourselves from within.
Last year we lost an undercover agent: Cyclone.
He was taken hostage by ISIS in the Sahel.
And this year another one of our agents, Phénoméne, was arrested in Iran for spying for the CIA.
I asked you all here today in order to inform you, before the others, that I am planning to hand in my resignation to the Director.
Don't worry about me.
I'm close to retirement anyway.
There will be some changes.
Change is good.
Finally, we've fulfilled our disabled employee quota.
I was always taking flack for that.
There were no cripples on the staff.
At least we fixed that.
We'll miss your ties.
Here.
MY gift to you.
On that note, I'm going to give MAG the good news.
We can have leaving drinks tonight if you like.
Welcome back, Raymond.
I refuse your resignation.
You won't be the fall guy for this mess.
But I want you to leave the Bureau, temporarily, during Operation Deep Blue while we neutralize Chevalier.
Malotru is a free agent, out in the field.
You know him well.
Do me this favour.
Is his escape serving the mission or is it the other way around? Either way, it is better for us.
If he left to fix things, we have an agent on site.
We'll say he went rogue if this goes public.
Will you accept? So who's the fall guy? Disloyalty is a fragmentation bomb.
It causes collateral damage, long after its explosion.
Disloyalty is a cancer.
You never know if you'll survive.
You never know how far it's spread.
I've known cases of disloyalty during the course of my career.
Serious cases, memorable ones.
But this case will become a legend.
CEYLANPINAR, TURKEY Show me the note.
So Hafiz Muhammad Hashmi did send you.
You're not what I was expecting.
Ceylanpinar is in Turkey, near the Syrian border.
It's a Kurdish town, controlled by the Peshmerga.
Guillaume felt it was safer to bring Fatiq, the bomber, there.
The red dot is Guillaume's phone.
The blue one is Fatiq's.
What's the plan? For Guillaume to talk to Fatiq to try to motivate him.
I wanted to help.
But then I thought of my mother and brothers.
And you got scared? The man to be interviewed is a hero of Islam.
He is important.
If I do this, my family will be punished.
I can't let that happen.
Give me your bag.
Give it to me.
Go and kiss your mother.
Go.
Now.
Call Guillaume.
Find out how it went.
- Yes'? - Hi, it's Chloé Depoid.
- Yes? - Did you see Fatiq? Yes.
He got scared.
He's backing out.
You couldn't convince him? No.
Now what? We have no cameraman but we have the camera.
Tell Schnabel to come and find me here.
His new cameraman is waiting for him.
What do you mean? - He's doing it himself? - Call him back! A French professor named Paul Lefebvre, involved in the death of jihadist Toufik Boumaza.
Excuse me? Nothing.
Schnabel will call about the disappearance of his cameraman.
Tell him you're sending him one, there.
Unless Guillaume gives you other instructions.
- What will he do? - Call me if anything happens.
It's Schnabel.
- Hello.
- My cameraman took off! - What'? - He left with all the gear.
- There's nothing I can do.
- We'll send you someone from Istanbul.
I don't want to return to Istanbul.
It'll be closer to Raqqa.
Do you know where Ceylanpinar is? Guillaume Debailly should have lived in the '60s.
He's a master spy.
He'd have perfectly mastered the rules during the Cold War.
He charms you but he gives nothing away.
You can never guess his intentions.
Even when you think you know, he manages to make you doubt.
I think that he can persuade people to do just about anything.
That's a dangerous weapon and now it's pointed at us.
At what exact moment did you suspect he worked for the CIA? Part of me knew as soon as Nadia El Mansour was released.
Another part of me refused to believe it.
I just couldn't.
I have the right to know, damn it! Come in.
Take a seat.
The Americans will return Omidvar to the Iranians.
OK.
He's the secret financier for all Iranian operations outside the country.
The Americans have had him for two years.
They'll trade him for Marina? Exactly.
We're working out the logistics with them.
It may take time for the details, but it should work.
Thank you.
If our president trades Hossein Omidvar for the French woman, it will be a great political victory for him.
We can't let that happen.
Where is the French woman right now? She's being transferred to Bandar Abbas.
She must disappear.
Your Excellence, that may be difficult.
What if she tries to escape during the transfer? I think she's going to try to escape.
Schnabel is on his way to Guillaume.
Can we listen in? Schnabel has a satellite phone.
If he has a signal, the phone acts as a microphone.
Engine sounds and his jacket against the phone.
Andreas Schnabel? Hi, I'm Paul Lefebvre.
Chloé Depoid sent me.
Do you have your gear? Can I see it? It's all here.
What happened to the other cameraman? I think he lost his nerve.
It's becoming more and more difficult.
Soon I'll have to do my interviews alone.
Why don't you? To prove on screen that it's really me on location and not some poor guy I sent out there to risk his life in my place.
- You're a freelancer? - Yes.
Since when? Just a few months.
And they sent you? I know my job.
L-Med/la knows me.
I work for them often.
I was in Istanbul with them when they called about an urgent job.
How do I know you won't back out too? I won't back out.
It's a privilege to work with you.
I cannot guarantee your safety.
I don't need you to.
Why not? Do you have a death wish? No, I just don't need guarantees.
Fine.
Let's go, then.
No use hanging around here.
When Schnabel calls to say he found the cameraman, ask to talk to Guillaume, ask Guillaume what he plans to do.
Excuse me.
We know perfectly well what he'll do.
He's the bomber.
Guillaume is not a suicide bomber.
He has a plan.
I don't see one.
You're not Guillaume.
From the moment we met, he was very helpful.
He gave me advice.
In a way, he trained me.
I was amazed that he gave me the benefit of his experience.
He also made sure I was never in an uncomfortable position.
One day I almost did something borderline and Did he do something borderline? What do you hold against him? If you don't know, then you're not supposed to know.
You're investigating someone who's taking enormous risks right now to protect us.
What are you talking about? If you don't know, then you're not supposed to know.
Hi, there.
I didn't know you were back.
I tried to tell you.
You wouldn't answer my calls.
Did it go well? - What were you talking about? - Guillaume.
- Do you know why? - Nope.
He must have done something.
Right, well I won't hold you up.
Are you OK? Sure, great.
That's impressive.
Yeah I understand, you know.
Don't feel bad about it.
If you were missing a foot That's not the issue.
I'm on a mission.
- I understand.
Forget it.
- An external one.
No problem.
Can we get together? I never felt manipulated.
The question is absurd.
In every job, company and institution, personal and career interests play a role.
People often use their colleagues.
They play devil's advocate, orienting work in a certain direction.
What surprises me is that your answers are so clear-cut.
Is that suspicious? No.
Just surprising.
You're trying so hard to spare him.
The handler's role is to guide the undercover agent in the field.
Yes.
Have you never made an error in your judgement? Of course, but we're not on our own.
We report back to our superiors.
We seek advice.
Henri Duflot, Guillaume Debailly.
Is there ever a conflict between an agent's perception of a situation and the orders given by the handler? Yeah.
Who has the final word? Always the agent.
What if he's not allowed to decide? The person taking the risk has to decide.
He has the final call.
So, is Malotru accused of manipulating an agent? That's ridiculous.
Where are we going? You're being transferred to Bandar Abbas in the south, hundreds of kilometers away.
Is it far from here? No.
Have you done this before? No.
Holy shit! What's wrong? What are you doing? There's a rockslide, you idiot! Are you OK? Come and help us clear the road.
I'm leaving the door open.
Run.
Run for your life.
You won't make it to Bandar Abbas.
The Pasdaran.
OK, she's gone.
Shit! The whole lot is coming down now.
It's stopped.
She's getting away.
I lost her.
We'll be dead if we don't find her.
Where can she go? If she goes straight on, she'll reach a village in 20 km.
We'll wait for her there.
RAKKA, SYRIA I have to show you something.
That's an American drone on a surveillance mission.
Airstrikes are bound to follow.
It will be dangerous to move around.
You'll have to wait a bit longer.
Chloé Depoid.
Are you with Paul Lefebvre? - Yes.
- Put him on, please.
She wants to talk.
Well, I don't.
Why not? Nothing to say to her.
He's grumpy.
He doesn't want to talk to you.
Put him on.
What did you do to him? Did you sleep with him or did you refuse to? She's clingy.
ADD TO CONTACTS Chloé Depoid's boss.
What are you trying to do? Finish the job.
What are you doing, Guillaume? You won't believe me, but I'm truly sorry.
You get caught up in a process that escapes you.
You start off by taking baby steps.
But you still wind up very far from home.
I know, but now you can stop.
You can backtrack.
Why stop? You sent Schnabel to me, didn't you? What exactly are you doing? What's your plan? You always assume I have a plan.
That's the good thing about me.
I can always be counted on to have a plan.
Not this time.
For the first time, Mr Director, I have no plan.
I'm on my way, but I honestly don't know where to.
What do you want? Redemption? I don't know.
What you did doesn't deserve a death sentence.
- What, then? - Being tried by me on a farm in Picardy.
Picardy depresses me.
I read your note to Prune.
You say you won't commit suicide.
It's not suicide.
I'm cancelling the mission.
Send Schnabel home.
He can keep the money.
I'm calling it all off.
Hello.
Do you have a phone, please? No.
Water? There's the phone.
It doesn't work.
It's always breaking down.
Here, now it works.
Thank you.
Hello, is this the visa office? It's me.
Marina Loiseau.
Yes, I escaped, but they tried to kill me.
They'll find me.
I'm on the road to Bandar Abbas.
I don't know.
It's a small service station.
I don't know.
A tiny service station.
Say, do you often pick up unescorted women? No.
Is she a tourist? She has no luggage, no handbag.
She was hungry.
Is she a prostitute? She says she's Canadian.
She got lost on a hike.
I don't want any trouble.
I'm alerting the police.
OK, thank you.
May I stay here for a little while? Friends are coming to get me.
- Have a seat.
- Thank you.
We're on it.
Your attention, please.
That was the Tehran desk.
Phénoméne has escaped an assassination attempt.
She's waiting for us at a service station on the road to Bandar Abbas, about three hours from Tehran.
You have three minutes to find it and get me the number.
In two hours someone will come for the girl.
Who are you? The police? You'll receive two billion rials if you wait quietly until we arrive.
Alternatively, you could call the police to come and get the girl, in which case you'll get nothing.
I have some good news.
- Hello.
- Hello.
We're going to need the house.
You'll have to leave.
Shall I help you pack? No, I can do it.
Where am I going? Lamia will take you somewhere else.
Where are we going? Elsewhere.
He asked me to give you this.
Get your things.
We're leaving.
Now.
I need your phones.
Hello.
Hi, Henri.
They're on the move, heading for the Mosul area.
Their phones are off but the battery's GPS works.
That won't last long.
Do we have the drone feed? No, but we'll have it soon.
I don't believe he'd blow himself up.
Me neither.
Drone feed coming up.
Toufik AI-Azraq Dakine will be here soon.
He says you don't need that.
What do you mean, we don't need it? This is the best gear, bought directly in Dubai.
I'm not in the habit of working like this.
The rectangles are tents, probably stolen from the Red Cross.
That's a sports ground over there.
That might be a school, on the left.
The location's well chosen.
Civilians everywhere, including children.
Any intervention would mean a blood bath.
An air strike is out of the question.
I am Toufik AI-Azraq Dakine.
I am Andreas Schnabel.
Thank you for granting us this interview.
How long do we have? He's not your usual guy.
No, he was scared to come here.
Paul works with me in Europe.
Paul? Paul Lefebvre.
- And you are not scared? - No, I am.
But this is a great opportunity for me.
A great opportunity? You might be a great opportunity for me.
You'll end up like the lawyer.
Is that what you want? The lawyer? Yes.
I don't understand.
You're a teacher? I used to be, in Damascus.
In the French lycée? Yes.
You must know Mr Noel.
The history teacher.
Everyone knows that dog.
He spits on the Muslims.
I don't know him.
You don't know Mr Noel? Toufik AI-Azraq Dakine, thank you for seeing us.
Can you confirm that it was you who beheaded the Western hostages? I can confirm.
Should it be taking this long? It's been two hours.
I don't know.
The vehicles are still there.
One final question to conclude this exclusive interview.
Why don't you use hostages to negotiate instead of killing them? We promised to execute them if our demands weren't met.
We always keep our promises.
I said you'd be safe, and I kept my promise.
Absolutely.
I think we're done.
Wait a minute! Which one of you plays chess? This is competition-level equipment.
Do you compete? At a very low level.
I was in Istanbul when Andreas called me.
The wise men of Islam say chess is harem.
I never play for money.
Do you play well? I do OK.
I study gambits.
Such as? Anderssen versus Kieseritzky, - 1851.
- Yeah, I know it.
The King's Gambit.
He stays.
That wasn't what we agreed.
The agreement was for you and your cameraman, not him.
One vehicle's leaving, isn't it? Yes.
One phone is still there.
Pick one.
White, you're my hostage.
I'm just kidding.
One game for now.
Then we'll see.
Woe to the vanquished! Look.
How long am I staying? A few months.
Don't worry.
There's lots to do.
You can go fishing.
Shit! Come and look at this.
We, the brave soldiers of the Caliphate, have been attacked by the enemies of Islam.
The loss inflicted on us will be avenged with the blood of thousands of infidels.
May Allah welcome Toufik AI-Azraq Dakine among the martyrs.
If the French government, who dares to strike our brothers on Caliphate soil, does not renounce its repression of Muslims, if it does not abolish the iniquitous law that forbids the hijab, if the Caliphate's brave soldiers are not released from French jails, then this dog will be beheaded, very slowly.
It wasn't comfortable.
It wasn't reasonable.
It wasn't moral.
It had no future.
But I shall treasure those moments for the rest of my life.

Phénoméne has escaped an assassination attempt.
She's waiting for us at a service station on the road to Bandar Abbas, about three hours from Tehran.
You have three minutes to find it and get me the number.
In two hours someone will come for the girl.
Who are you? The police? You'll receive two billion rials if you wait quietly until we arrive.
Alternatively, you could call the police to come and get the girl, in which case you'll get nothing.
I have some good news.
- Hello.
- Hello.
We're going to need the house.
You'll have to leave.
Shall I help you pack? No, I can do it.
Where am I going? Lamia will take you somewhere else.
Where are we going? Elsewhere.
He asked me to give you this.
Get your things.
We're leaving.
Now.
I need your phones.
Hello.
Hi, Henri.
They're on the move, heading for the Mosul area.
Their phones are off but the battery's GPS works.
That won't last long.
Do we have the drone feed? No, but we'll have it soon.
I don't believe he'd blow himself up.
Me neither.
Drone feed coming up.
Toufik AI-Azraq Dakine will be here soon.
He says you don't need that.
What do you mean, we don't need it? This is the best gear, bought directly in Dubai.
I'm not in the habit of working like this.
The rectangles are tents, probably stolen from the Red Cross.
That's a sports ground over there.
That might be a school, on the left.
The location's well chosen.
Civilians everywhere, including children.
Any intervention would mean a blood bath.
An air strike is out of the question.
I am Toufik AI-Azraq Dakine.
I am Andreas Schnabel.
Thank you for granting us this interview.
How long do we have? He's not your usual guy.
No, he was scared to come here.
Paul works with me in Europe.
Paul? Paul Lefebvre.
- And you are not scared? - No, I am.
But this is a great opportunity for me.
A great opportunity? You might be a great opportunity for me.
You'll end up like the lawyer.
Is that what you want? The lawyer? Yes.
I don't understand.
You're a teacher? I used to be, in Damascus.
In the French lycée? Yes.
You must know Mr Noel.
The history teacher.
Everyone knows that dog.
He spits on the Muslims.
I don't know him.
You don't know Mr Noel? Toufik AI-Azraq Dakine, thank you for seeing us.
Can you confirm that it was you who beheaded the Western hostages? I can confirm.
Should it be taking this long? It's been two hours.
I don't know.
The vehicles are still there.
One final question to conclude this exclusive interview.
Why don't you use hostages to negotiate instead of killing them? We promised to execute them if our demands weren't met.
We always keep our promises.
I said you'd be safe, and I kept my promise.
Absolutely.
I think we're done.
Wait a minute! Which one of you plays chess? This is competition-level equipment.
Do you compete? At a very low level.
I was in Istanbul when Andreas called me.
The wise men of Islam say chess is harem.
I never play for money.
Do you play well? I do OK.
I study gambits.
Such as? Anderssen versus Kieseritzky, - 1851.
- Yeah, I know it.
The King's Gambit.
He stays.
That wasn't what we agreed.
The agreement was for you and your cameraman, not him.
One vehicle's leaving, isn't it? Yes.
One phone is still there.
Pick one.
White, you're my hostage.
I'm just kidding.
One game for now.
Then we'll see.
Woe to the vanquished! Look.
How long am I staying? A few months.
Don't worry.
There's lots to do.
You can go fishing.
Shit! Come and look at this.
We, the brave soldiers of the Caliphate, have been attacked by the enemies of Islam.
The loss inflicted on us will be avenged with the blood of thousands of infidels.
May Allah welcome Toufik AI-Azraq Dakine among the martyrs.
If the French government, who dares to strike our brothers on Caliphate soil, does not renounce its repression of Muslims, if it does not abolish the iniquitous law that forbids the hijab, if the Caliphate's brave soldiers are not released from French jails, then this dog will be beheaded, very slowly.
It wasn't comfortable.
It wasn't reasonable.
It wasn't moral.
It had no future.
But I shall treasure those moments for the rest of my life.
