Le Bureau des Legendes (2015) s04e09 Episode Script
Season 4, Episode 9
1 What time did he alert us? - Two hours ago.
- How? Via an old Duflot protocol, a chat on a website.
Has our plane left? - Who's on board? - Sisteron.
Where are they? If they didn't stop anywhere, they should be halfway there, about 90 minutes from the border.
Any chance Raymond may intercept them? A slim one.
OK.
Let's discuss how we handle this.
Nicolas? The Russians usually wait to announce an arrest.
We spoke to the Americans, who had a recent experience like this.
Their agent was gone 12 days before they started negotiating.
I think we have 2 weeks before any media exposure.
New message from RS Emergency stop next gas station Repeat: stop next gas station RS: Wait for me Time is short, so listen carefully.
Russian counterespionage knows who you are.
One of our people gave you up.
Return to Russia now and you'll be arrested.
You don't have to go back.
Your mission ends, you come home.
End of story.
But you need to know you were denounced for the purposes of a priority mission.
Your arrest may benefit that mission.
So, it's your decision.
My arrest may benefit the mission? What does that mean? Your arrest will be useful to us.
Useful to you? That's all you need to know.
I'm sorry.
I'll say it again.
Go to the border and you'll be arrested.
Don't, and you'll go home.
You want me to go back to jail? I don't want anything.
That's how it is.
You'd rather I be arrested? But no one will be upset if you refuse.
No one.
You hear me? Damn it You haven't changed.
I have.
You'll be able to cook here.
Give us your shopping list.
At least it's quiet here.
Thanks.
Do you need anything special? A phone? That won't be possible.
Can I see my daughter? I don't think so.
So, what can you do for me? Make tea.
Sautéed chicken.
What's so special about these passage points? That's how I'd cross into Europe.
Are we sure lode 3 wants to come to Europe? Nope.
Are we sure he thinks like you? Nope.
You have the data? Phone, email, Facebook, browsing history.
Info on people he knows or crossed his path.
Good.
Now what? She'll analyze everything.
Run a systematic search for any possible connections.
And she'll give us a report.
Very good.
What do you hope to find? I don't know.
Something indicating where someone is.
She can do that? I don't know.
We'll see what she finds.
We don't really know how she does it.
Who were you talking about? Artificial Intelligence.
You want to grab a drink? At 2 am? Relax a little? I'm wiped out.
I just want to go to bed.
OK No one's waiting at home for you? I don't know.
Maybe someone broke in with an axe.
What about you? At this hour, they're all asleep.
All? You know I'll be racking my brain all night.
Unfortunately, what waits for me never sleeps.
Classified These are SMSs sent during the Africa Cup of Nations Final.
She found all the IP addresses that are square numbers.
That's funny.
There this is what we want.
Three people in regular contact stopped communicating overnight.
You see? She found what caused this event.
You see that? A single call, from an exogenous element.
Someone outside the group you provided.
That call terminated all contact.
- A call from where? - Belgium.
A garage in a Brussels suburb.
The phone was only used once.
Impossible to link it to anyone.
It looks like a cell being activated, no? It does.
Maybe lode 37 Nothing points to that nor to the contrary.
Sleeping like a baby.
Some people here still think that your overall record is positive.
What do you think? First, we'd need to assess the extent of everything you compromised.
The intel you gave the CIA.
And the Russians.
I won't insult you by wondering if you collaborated with ISIS.
Then again you did manage to survive.
A miracle.
It does beg the question.
But we know the name of this miracle.
Henri Duflot.
Now he's a martyr, thanks to you.
Hello, Guillaume.
Hello, Jean-Jacques.
How are you? Couldn't be better.
A doctor is coming to examine you.
And the interviews will begin.
Many people want to talk to you.
The Syria desk, Counterterrorism, the Russian desk, of course.
The Technical Directorate I told them to hold their horses.
We cover the bases first.
I keep asking myself one question, and I can't find the answer.
Why did they let you go? What should they have done with me? That's what I'm wondering.
You're more useful to them here.
Here? Maybe they think we'll let you go soon.
Did you imply that you might return to work here? Why wouldn't ll? If it convinced them to let me leave So, they let you come back.
You spend a few months here, and they contact you once you're back on the job.
Why wouldn't I tell them that? They'd have to think we're morons.
Which isn't the case.
So, we're back to my question.
Why did they let you leave? You see, something's not clear.
They don't think we're morons, but you convinced them anyway.
How? You'll figure it out.
You taught me to convince people.
I'm not sure sarcasm is the right technique.
You're the one who taught me that offense is the best defense.
What else do you remember? Everything.
I've put it all into practice.
It's second nature to me now.
I didn't teach you to betray us.
No, I did that on my own.
This is your view, for many years to come.
Can I have visiting rights? You want to see your daughter.
We don't want to grant you that favor just yet.
Why not? You're already costing us this hideout, and several guards.
A visit would require organization.
We're all out of energy.
Hello.
I'm Jonas.
A Syria desk analyst.
Been on the Syria desk for long? Long enough.
In your interviews with Raymond Sisteron in Lebanon last year, you mention a red-haired man you saw during your captivity.
What can you tell me about him? We know all about him in France, but nothing over there.
He was lieutenant for the camp Emir.
Was he in a French or French-speaking group? I'm looking for people he may be in touch with.
I'm sorry, but this is important.
I know.
He hung out with this one jerk.
He was either French or Belgian.
Did they speak French together? The jerk was learning to torture me.
He spoke French.
I see.
Have you been there? I I'm not at liberty to tell you.
Do you have the guy's name? Abu Abdallah al Mecaniku.
"The Mechanic".
He was the village repairman.
Computers, cars Cars? We searched around the garage And found this woman.
Hired a few months ago as Anissa Emtoumi.
Her real name is Amina Bouazizi.
Three years ago, She married Tarek Bouazizi, aka The Mechanic.
Debailly says he hung with lode 3.
She made it back right before the battle of Mosul.
She faked her identity and got hired at the garage.
She contacted one of these three men.
She used a burner phone, only once.
But we accessed her normal phone.
She faked her identity and got hired at the garage.
She received a single call from Just before she called one of them, The Mechanic is in Tunisia? Abu Abdallah al-Mecaniku is dead.
He died in front of Debailly.
lode 3 called her.
Moscow The medicine box.
We know all about you.
Am I right? No, you won't die.
You just have a cold.
You'll regret this.
Take her back to her cell.
The exchange will take place in lzvaryne, in the Luhansk Oblast.
The Ukrainians bring the Russian agents here.
They recover Rocambole and bring her to us, in Kiev.
We won't be there to collect her? They say they don't need our help to cross the Donbass.
Isn't it risky? There are blockades and separatist militia.
If she's escorted by the Ukrainian services, she'll be a sitting duck.
The Russians promise they'll issue orders to let them pass.
But I fear they overestimate their influence.
One of us must be there.
I have a problem.
Yes? Rocambole is compromised.
We can't compromise a new agent.
No one labelled DGSE will be sent into the region.
Enough is enough, don't you agree? I still believe we need to send someone.
Send Malotru.
He's one of yours, isn't he? And he's already compromised.
Do they know your status here? I described the service I worked for.
Did you tell them how many operatives we have globally? I said there were nine.
Did you reveal countries? - I mixed true and false ones.
- Which ones? Libya, Lebanon and Syria.
Did you say we had one in North Korea? No.
Did you give any names? No.
Info on your targets? Their profession, where they live? I gave capital cities.
Did you tell them about people you knew in Syria? Yes.
I assume they're protected by you.
We'll continue this afternoon.
He's all yours.
Hi.
It's complicated, I know.
Leave us please.
- We're not leaving.
- Yes, you are.
They think you'll use my weakness and escape again.
I don't know how I could.
They say I purposely sent Raymond so you'd elude him.
Are you in trouble? I was asked to explain a few things.
- It's not true.
- What? That you sent Raymond on purpose.
Yes, it is.
I knew you'd manipulate Dr.
Balmes and that she'd manipulate Raymond to put you in an open cabin.
And that you'd be able to get out and jump overboard.
I didn't plan it in advance.
But I had a good teacher who taught me how to create favorable opportunities.
You haven't asked about Marina Loiseau.
Will you tell me anything? She'll be swapped for Russian agents, detained in Ukraine.
Why tell me this? Because you're going to get her.
Why me? It's risky.
What's risky is complications with pro-Russian militias, and the Russians themselves.
In the event of complications, better it be me than someone else.
It's been like this since the beginning.
Like what? You're a useful traitor.
Marie-Jeanne? Remember when you said I run from punishment? Yes.
I've had my share, haven't I? Yes.
And there's more to come.
BEN GARDANE TUNISIA Wait for us.
Keep the radio on.
If you have a problem, call me.
Remind me why I'm here? To question him.
If he's wounded, it's our only option.
You agreed.
Too late to change your mind, buddy.
We're moving.
Is everyone in place? Let's do it.
Watch out behind you.
At ten o'clock On the roof The tire! OK, keep moving.
Go away! Open up! You want confetti? Open up! Open your door! Drive.
Drive! What's that? What did I just hear? I get it.
Say your prayers, kafir.
Don't worry, buddy.
I activated a neurotoxic gas remotely.
You can't move.
It's normal.
You'll be fine.
You'll breathe better now.
And this asshole next to you can't move either.
Don't be angry at me.
I figured he might try to use you.
But I didn't tell you, so you wouldn't panic.
Feeling better? Hang in there.
Soon, you'll feel pins and needles.
A few hours from now, you'll question him to your heart's delight.
Can I ask you a favor? You can ask.
You still see my daughter? Occasionally.
- Can you - Not a word about you.
Not even that you were here.
Can you tell her I love her? She'll ask why you're telling her now.
Say you don't know.
Why are you telling her now? Because I want to.
He's like a guru.
We only have three options.
We can prosecute him.
Everything will go public.
All of it.
The fact that he worked for the CIA, that our agent was held hostage by ISIS, and the fact that he hid out in Moscow.
The fact that he compromised an agent in Iran, and that we lost a director because of him.
Or, we can put him out to pasture.
He'll keep brainwashing everyone around him.
Even you and I are at risk, believe me.
The only way to stop him from causing harm is to lock him up and throw away the key.
Which is impossible.
That's the second option.
What's the third? He goes to get Rocambole And? He doesn't come back.
- How? Via an old Duflot protocol, a chat on a website.
Has our plane left? - Who's on board? - Sisteron.
Where are they? If they didn't stop anywhere, they should be halfway there, about 90 minutes from the border.
