Le Bureau des Legendes (2015) s03e02 Episode Script

Season 3, Episode 2

Where are you from? Spanish? Italian? French.
There is no God but Allah Everyone who's been here has written their name.
And left messages.
For later.
So their families can know.
It's easier with this.
Write like this.
Go on.
What the hell? Is it so hard to put keys in a drawer? I'm so sick of these morons.
Stop! You want him to suffer? Yes.
No.
You want to break him.
You want become everything to him His mother and his father.
Good and evil.
You want to eat? Pick what you want.
But be careful Certain things here are free For others, you have to pay the price.
The tire, the iron, the pliers It's a surprise.
You understand? It's through fear that you can control people.
Go get me some water.
I know the name "Paul Lefebvre".
Paul Lefebvre works for the DGSE.
Are you this Paul Lefebvre? I'm a teacher.
Don't be stupid.
I can help you.
I'm a teacher.
My name is Chin Hae Yoon.
I bear witness that Allah is the greatest.
It was sent last year, to put pressure on the Korean hostage's family.
Seoul ended up accepting the ransom.
The amount was negotiated, the handover was set, and then it backfired.
Korean Intelligence confirmed the hostage had been dead for several weeks.
It was an old video.
And it was used by a group that didn't have the hostage.
They just wanted to make some money.
What's your idea? Nadia el-Mansour will give this to the people holding Malotru.
Why that, specifically? Because it's worthless.
It's old, rare, and can't be bought.
If it ends up in the video, we'll know the channel works.
And we'll have recent proof of life.
Crisis Room 2 Shahanah knows perfectly well that Rex will be protected.
There's no reason to think he'll quietly allow us to tail him.
KIDNAPPING How would you lose the tail? I'd use a buffer zone.
An underground parking lot, where an identical car awaits.
I'd make Rex change cars.
You'll stay back so you aren't seen.
You won't see the car switch.
Rex will have a GPS tracker on her lapel.
We'll have her put on a hijab.
Another GPS will be in her panties.
They might have a GPS detector.
Where would they get one? From Al-Qaeda, who got it from the Saudis.
That's why we'll use 2 mobile field teams.
Gerland and La Beaujoire on motorbikes, Guichard and his team in a car.
The alert protocol? If we lose her more than 3 minutes, we intervene.
2 minutes.
Okay.
Marie-Jeanne, you're in the first car.
Can Rex send an SOS? Her phone has a mike.
It'll be confiscated.
She'll have one in her ring.
Also confiscated.
At some point, she won't be able to communicate.
ISIS We still have nothing on ISIS's emissary? We'll get nothing.
It's a first contact.
It could be anyone.
No standard profile? Someone they can blow up at any time.
Rex knows the risks.
I'm not so sure.
What's this train diagram deal? Don't tell me it's for "proof of life".
An ISIS officer may have tried to contact us.
We'll open a communication channel with him.
His code name is Cochise.
- We exploit the negotiations? - No, we hatch a plan B.
Fine.
Fill me in.
It's very simple.
Our directors aren't keen on negotiating.
They want Malotru to die there? No, but they won't make any real effort.
Unless this negotiation helps us in other ways.
To recruit that ISIS officer, for instance.
Exactly.
Now, if you don't mind, I have a meeting.
Bring me the file, please.
Have a seat.
You had plenty of time to inform me of your issues.
Lots of time and opportunity.
Yet, you chose not to.
I know.
What happened? I didn't see it coming.
- See what? - The panic.
Explain it to me.
Certain situations, certain people Suddenly, I have doubts.
I feel like everyone knows who I am.
Like something will happen to me, and I have to escape right away, before it's too late.
You didn't feel it coming on? No.
Maybe I did, in retrospect.
I think I have to take a break for a while.
Absolutely not.
You know you're not the first? It's a classic.
If I agreed each time, there'd be no one working here.
Come in.
You'll do just the opposite.
Pick yourself up, fast.
Before you start to ruminate.
Save the ruminating for the cows.
Isolate the cud, chew it up, compress it And spit it out! Follow me.
- Hi Marina.
- Hello.
Dr.
Balmes is an expert on PTSD.
You know her.
You're in good hands.
$0? What's going on? Who are those people? Babysitters.
They're protecting you? They're guarding me.
Sorry, I'm leaving.
- You're free to go.
- I am indeed.
But you must see someone, or you'll never return to the field.
Henri Duflot set up this meeting.
Why not trust him? He dragged me out of forced retirement to see you.
I have panic attacks.
I've lost my self-confidence.
I've always had it, ever since I was a child.
You know, the feeling you're invincible.
That your parents are too.
It's weird When my father died, I was young.
Yet, I didn't lose it back then.
But it's disappeared, all of a sudden.
In what contexts do these panic attacks occur? I'm not sure you're authorized to know.
Be vague.
Sorry, but I need to know why you're being guarded.
What happened to you in Iran What happened to me in Iran? It wasn't your fault.
That's the best you can do? You were manipulated, Marina.
By who? I'm not authorized to tell you.
But you should know you were the victim of some twisted people.
People you would never have suspected.
I don't believe you.
That's a shame.
I suspect everyone, all the time.
I'm trained to be.
Not those on your own team.
I was the victim of an assassination attempt.
I didn't know that.
I was sentenced to 100 years in jail.
I escaped during a transfer.
Someone planned to have me killed.
I didn't know.
I was to die there.
Are you telling me I know the people behind it? You dare say that? I do.
That's impossible.
I don't believe you! To prove I'm sincere, I'll tell you why I have babysitters.
Why I've been living in a DGSE hideout for 4 months.
Because I'm the one.
I'm responsible for what you went through.
It's my fault.
I was working for the CIA.
The Iranians accused you of working for the CIA.
In a very convoluted way, it's my fault.
Brilliant! You knew.
He told you I was a traitor, that it was me.
He said I'd never tell you.
He wanted to show you you're still good.
"Jekyll" is the alias of a Pakistani who's offered us his services.
You'll meet him in Casablanca.
You'll do the same thing you did with Dr.
Balmes: get him to talk.
He says he's a seismologist, with confidential data on Pakistan.
Talk to him and tell us if he's reliable.
Okay.
You're a warrior, Marina.
You know that? Yes.
That'll never change.
Thank you.
Beyadi - Syria Dammit! - You can't go out.
- Why? I have insomnia.
I need to smoke.
You want one? Inside.
You can smoke.
Are you picking me up every day? I'm in charge of your safety.
I go where you go.
It's normal.
It's a convenient way to spy on me.
What happened last night? What do you mean? I heard noise.
I wasn't allowed out.
You shouldn't go out at night.
They wouldn't even let me look.
Were you there? - What were you doing? - Stop asking questions.
Who's that? Wait here.
Wait here! Everything's okay.
You want your stuffed animal? There's a child.
Right near the school.
Come get him.
- What's up with him? - Nothing.
Nothing? What did you tell him? - Where are his parents? - His mother is gone.
And his father? We're at war.
Leave it alone.
There's nothing you can do.
Esrin Is he a Kurd? A Sunni Arab? Where is the father? Did they put him in a truck last night? You don't trust the Sunnis who stayed through the occupation.
What do you do to them? Ladies and gentlemen, the seatbelt signal is now off.
This is a non-smoking flight.
It is forbidden to smoke in the toilets.
Give them that.
We want to see it in a video of Paul.
What is it? They know what they're doing.
What's the plan? I'll meet Shahanah at Gaziantep, at the address I gave you.
He'll take me to meet the ISIS envoy.
- Did he say where? - No.
Or how long the trip would take? No.
Where will you be? Nowhere.
Everywhere.
I may call you, to see how you are.
Or someone may ask for me.
Or a homing pigeon may deliver the message.
Here's what you reply: "Everything's just fine.
" If you leave out the "just", if you only say "everything's fine", that means something's wrong.
We'll intervene immediately.
Understood.
Where are we at? Rex is in Gaziantep, Turkey, near the Syrian border.
She's in one of Shahanah's workshops.
They'll probably leave soon.
The blue dot is Rex's phone.
The red dot is herjacket GPS.
The green dot is the GPS in her panties.
This is Marie-Jeanne.
Let's check in on the babysitters.
La Meinau, Parc des Princes here.
Can you hear me? La Meinau here.
I hear you, Pare des Princes.
Are the others in position? Gerland? La Beaujoire? Gerland, in position.
La Beaujoire, in position.
Geoffroy-Guichard? Geoffroy-Guichard, in position.
Thanks.
Now we wait for them to come out.
Roger that.
Really? Why? The people you're about to meet are very picky about how women dress.
Look at what you're wearing.
You want to upset them before you open your mouth? A modicum of diplomacy, please! Is this a joke? I don't think so.
La Meinau here.
They're coming out.
Rex has changed clothes.
The panties are moving.
The jacket and phone are still in the building.
Gerland, La Beaujoire, follow the panties.
No visual.
Understood.
Geoffroy-Guichard, take backup.
Geoffroy-Guichard, on the move.
Who do we meet? That's not the right question.
Some intermediary.
The question is: why are they meeting you? They know it's to negotiate for their hostage, right? That's what I said.
Will they believe you? Do they believe me? Maybe they have a surprise for you.
Don't they trust you? I hope they do.
But I don't particularly trust them.
In any case, I've organized your meeting.
I'm done.
Won't you be there? No.
What a woman wouldn't do for love! Here.
Wear this.
It's from a very powerful Sunni tribe.
Mine.
This is why they talk to me.
It may help you.
Thank you.
They're leaving the city center.
Geoffrey-Guichard, take over.
They're entering a buffer zone.
Locate the other exits.
Gerland, La Beaujoire, you're up.
They could exit anywhere.
Gerland, you stay in front.
La Beaujoire, take the parallel street.
Geoffroy-Guichard, take the north side.
I'll stay south.
They're moving.
No, the panties are moving.
I want visual confirmation of Rex.
Gerland here.
I'm on it.
Rex isn't in the car.
What about the other exits? There are no specs on this building.
Call the Turks.
Block the city exits.
If the Turks intervene, the mission is compromised.
It's your call.
The mission's compromised.
We're aborting.
It could be a safety protocol.
I won't risk it.
Give us another 2 minutes.
La Beaujoire, nothing in sight? No.
Wait, there's a pickup truck.
- Gerland.
I'll meet you.
- Geoffroy-Guichard.
On our way.
If she's in the car, do we get her out? Affirmative.
This is going to be fun.
Everything's just fine Stop.
Rex is okay.
I repeat.
Rex is okay.
No intervention.
Who sent you? The French government.
Thank you.
Are you the person I should talk to? No man will want to talk to you.
Who sent you? People who can kill Paul Lefebvre.
I want proof that it's really them.
I want proof you're speaking for your government.
He was jailed by the French for possession of firearms.
A pretext for the disbelievers.
His only crime is preaching the true Islam.
France must release him.
We want a video of Paul Lefebvre with this document.
What is it? Why do you ask? We are intermediaries.
Where did you get that bracelet? A friend gave it to me.
It comes from a Caliphate village.
Did your friend steal it? No.
He bought it from one of your friends, who stole it.
What will you give us for Paul Lefebvre? I'll tell you once I have proof.
What if we want you? You'd be getting the short end of the deal.
They'll want ten thousand like you.
You're not enough for them? I have my husband.
A brave Mujahedeen.
What about you? I don't know where he is.
I can find you one, if you'd like.
I don't want to live your life.
My life is good, thanks to God.
I'm afraid your life may be short.
Yours too, my dear.
Let's go.
Iraq ISIS-occupied zone Keep standing! So you're a spy? He's DGSE.
Admit it or I'll pull your teeth out.
I'm a spy.
Abu Abdallah, are you stupid? Say you're a monkey, or I'll break your teeth.
I'm a monkey.
Get out.
This isn't a job for you.
You're too stupid.
Cut! You can sit.
So you say you're a teacher? Yes.
I'm a teacher too.
I guess we're colleagues.
You said you could help me.
Only if you're the agent.
How can you help me? I'll just say I found you.
To who? Are you the agent? I don't have time to fool around with you.
You think I want to fool you into confession? You know what? I'm going to tell you who I work for.
And I will start to squeeze slowly.
You'll have time to say something that'll make me feel like helping you.
Gradually, you won't be able to breathe.
Find the words that will save you, or you're going to die.
I work for the FSB.
Now that you know, you're going to die.
Unless you find the right words.
Say something.
You're close to the end.
Can't you find anything to say, to save your own life? Can't you see you're dying? Shit! Tell your bosses.
Tell them what? What should I tell them? Tell them that Paul Lefebvre is here.
The agent? The French teacher.
Will you tell them? I will.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant We have to go.
One to go.
You're copying all of it? It's easier.
You'll read it all? No, I scan.
The people who read are in France.
In tiny offices without windows.
My workday's done.
ISIS is very bureaucratic.
They write lots of reports.
So you write a report on their reports? Yeah, we call it "intelligence".
What's wrong? Are you okay? Sniper! Run! There's another one.
Don't move.
Wait.
Hello? Hello? Erez? Ferman? Do you receive me? Sniper south of the school.
I'm down.
Unsecured zone.
We're exposed.
- They won't come.
- Yes, they will.
- I'll die here, for nothing.
- Shut up! I'll never see it.
Our country, the one we're trying to build.
I'll die without seeing it.
Fuck What about my son? He's all alone in Ceylanpinar.
He's proud of me.
He's proud to be a Kurd.
He doesn't know we put people on trucks.
What's his name? Yekmal.
How old is he? He's seven.
My daughter is seven.
- You do? - Yeah.
- What's her name? - Leah.
We'll marry them! What does she want to do when she grows up? A schoolteacher.
And Yekmal? I want him to go to a good university.
To get a good education, like your daughter.
Are you alone? Where are you hit? In the leg and stomach Especially the stomach.
Please come.
- They're on their way.
- See? - They'll be too - Shut up! Breathe.
Look at me.
You'll have a lovely silicon leg, just like me.
And you'll be beautiful.
It's ugly.
Sure, but it doesn't bleed.
Casablanca - Morocco Hello, Koumar? Right, hello.
Charlotte Méhau.
Glad to meet you.
Something to drink? Some tea, please.
One tea, please.
Thanks for coming to Casablanca.
I'm stuck here this week.
It's nothing really.
I love flying.
Thank you.
Were you able to study our project? Briefly, yes.
I'm very flattered the IPGP contacted me.
We're interested in your knowledge of Pakistani seismic grounds.
Yes, but I'm not the only one.
So thanks.
So, you worked on the levels of methane released during the last earthquake? I know what you're doing.
What? You're testing me.
What do you mean? You're talking about methane levels, but it's not about methane, and you know it.
If I don't know any of this, I'll just say, "Yes, yes".
And then you'll know I'm a fake.
Why would I test you? Your CV says it all.
My CV doesn't indicate how much I know about Pakistani seismology.
That's what you're going to tell me.
Did the DGSE send you? What? They don't believe me, do they? They think I'm a clown, don't they? I told you I have some very important information to What are you doing? Dear Sir, dear Henri, you gave me your trust, and I have proven unworthy of it.
With great sadness, I hereby submit my resignation.
Tomorrow, Human Resources will give me further instructions.
I hope the grave errors I've committed can be repaired.
Sincerely yours, Marina.
We just lost one hell of a warrior.
Marina Loiseau? Dammit! What did you bring back, other than Syrian archives? And bullets in your peg leg? A new warrior.
She's here, getting medical care.
She'd be a great agent in the Kurdish forces.
She's idealistic, mature and she's there for the taking.
How? Through her son.
When there's shooting like that, sometimes they take us out and use us as human shields.
Get up.
You too.
Now! Move it.
Outside.
Faster! Adaptation: Holly Diener
