It's time, buddy.
Almost dying together creates a bond.
I'm getting an earache. I am. I know I am.
- What are you doing? - Praying.
You think we're different?
We're the same.
I'm afraid of women, like you.
They scare me to death.
When one's in the room, I...
I can't breathe. I get stomach cramps.
Have you ever seen a woman climax? It's frightening.
It never ends.
It's horrible.
The first time I saw it, I was floored.
For us, it's over before it starts.
But with women, it never ends.
It's unbelievable.
Puts us in our place, huh?
As the pathetic, insignificant beings we are...
So, I avoid them.
A true coward.
But it's hard. They're everywhere.
That's why I understand you.
You veil them from head to foot. They're not as scary.
We live and work with them. They're in the street, on the bus...
We're not allowed to be scared.
We must be brave. But I can't.
We have something else in common.
You and I both know we have no purpose on earth.
We're here, living, eating...
But we serve no purpose whatsoever. None.
Doesn't that flip you out?
We're totally useless. Random... Why am I here on Earth?
No reason.
What am I to do? Who knows.
It's unbearable.
So, we establish strict rules
because it's impossible to live in such chaos.
I have rules and rituals. Without them, I panic.
When I think about it, I get...
I'm getting an earache. I know I am.
I'm sorry. That's my ritual.
When I think of chaos, I must repeat 21 times:
"I'm getting an earache. I am. I know I am."
If not, I throw up.
You and I are the same, afraid of two things.
Women and chaos. We'll do anything to avoid them.
But to avoid them, you went to greater lengths than me.
You tried to build a world, sheltered from women and chaos.
I totally respect that.
Why did you fail?
Us cowards, we were counting on you. Why did you fail?
I get it. You're seriously deranged.
You're not a coward?
You're the cowards, dropping bombs on kids in Syria.
If you're not a coward...
why didn't you blow yourself up in the car?
Were you scared of dying?
You gassed me, you dogs. Like Bashar who gasses his people.
You'll tell your buddies in jail you were gassed?
Untie me now and you'll see if I'm a coward.
You get into the car, push the button... Boom, we're dead.
Why did you tell me to drive?
If you want to die, you say "allahu akbar", not "drive".
I've been watching you. You fled Mosul. You fled Raqqa.
When you were arrested, you were terrified.
You know her?
Amina Bouazizi.
Wife of Abu al-Mecaniku, who died in Iraq.
You called her.
To activate the cell preparing an attack.
She's been arrested.
She'll be surprised to hear you didn't want to die.
After losing her husband and child over there.
What will she think when she sees the video?
You step out of a car, hands behind your back.
You try to run, But we catch you.
Yep, we filmed you.
- What's wrong? - Hypoglycemia.
- What? - I'm having an attack.
I'm getting an earache. I am. I know I am.
You won't sail off into the sunset.
This will get ugly.
Someone else will carry out the attack you planned.
He'll get all the glory.
You'll just be inconvenient to everyone.
Especially to your bosses, who trusted you.
Whoever takes over for you is the hero.
You're nothing, now.
I'm not saying anything. I want a lawyer.
He'll say the same thing.
Today, you have two options.
One option...
is jail.
With guys who fought in Syria too, and know you're afraid to die.
ISIS leaders will never speak to you again.
You'll be looked down on and alienated.
An embarrassment to all.
They'll beat you every day, because you humiliated them.
And your mother...
who sent you money, is now the mother of a coward.
She'll go to jail for helping someone who lost his nerve.
The other option...
is also jail.
But no one knows what happened.
You're a ranking officer,
respected by all, including your mother.
But, you have to help me prevent the attack.
Which is it?
The other guy will get all the credit for the attack.
You'll be the guy who didn't blow himself up.
If you claim you planned it, it'll be worse.
They'll beat you harder. They won't let you boast.
You're Quentin the Coward!
Abu Aljubaan.
Where's the jail located?
Russians?
What?
Were you talking to the Russians?
No problem.
When are they coming?
No problem.
It's Joel.
Hi, Joel.
How are you?
- We haven't spoken in a while. - I know.
You could have stopped by.
- I'm joking. - How is it going?
No problem.
What else?
That's all I know. They don't talk to me.
I'm not even sure what they speak.
But they won't speak Russian.
The Russians block communications to avoid detection near the border.
- But we know they're on their way. - I understand.
You'll be on the receiving end?
Yeah.
What about me?
Will I be there too?
Are you planning not to be?
No.
- Don't forget. I intend to be there. - OK.
Recording Deactivated
I spoke to Malotru. They're there.
I know.
He's worried.
About what?
I don't know. But he's worried.
Does he have reason to be?
What do you mean?
I don't know.
Send me the recording.
Mr. Bernard, they're here.
- Hello, Marina. - Hi.
You OK?
Yes.
I'm the one they sent.
You're still working for the DGSE?
Not really. But the DGSE sent me.
You have a cigarette?
Can you talk to them?
You know him. He'll call himself Joel.
Hello?
Marina, are you OK?
Did they treat you decently?
It was fine.
Have you seen the doctor?
Not yet. I was told not to hang around here too long.
But you're OK?
Yeah. I'm happy to be here.
Great. I'll see you in two hours.
- Sorry about last time. - I know.
- It wasn't... - I'm so happy to hear your voice.
- See you later. - OK.
We should go now.
Let's go.
Yes?
Yes, fine.
We'll be there in about 90 minutes.
Did you understand him?
We're there in 90 minutes.
He spoke Russian.
He never speaks Russian.
He wanted us to understand.
Why?
To reassure us.
You remember any Farsi?
Here. Call our contact.
- Tell him something in Farsi. - Like what?
That we're in trouble.
Recording Activated
It's Marina.
You OK?
Can we go faster?
Say it again.
No.
OK, thanks.
It's Marina.
You OK?
Say it again.
No.
Do both translators agree?
The literal translation is: "something unexpected is occurring".
She spoke Farsi so they wouldn't understand.
It's someone inside the car.
She's with Debailly, a driver
and the chief escort, a certain Sergey.
- She doesn't trust Sergey. - Probably.
What kind of unexpected occurrence?
This Sergey may have cut a deal with a separatist militia.
For a lot of money.
He sells them the means to exchange prisoners.
Marina Loiseau and Debailly are worth more than three Russians.
It could mean as many as 100 fighters in Ukrainian jails.
The first theory is corruption.
It's the Ukrainians.
Another theory?
The Ukrainians work for another country,
who needs Loiseau or Debailly for their own exchange purposes.
The Russians wouldn't do that.
They agreed to swap Loiseau for important intel from America, so...
So?
So, the other country could be America.
They're aware of the mission.
They could try something on Loiseau?
Malotru's the one who interests them.
Look, they're leaving the main road.
So I see.
They left the road 45. Why?
We spotted movement 10 km ahead,
satellite.
Why didn't you tell me?
I'm telling you now.
Why did we change roads?
We have information about militia activities.
They seem to have heard about us, they block the roads.
We need to find another way. Don't worry.
We know he speaks English.
Why make the effort now?
To lull us, once again.
Don't use your phone please, it's dangerous.
It's an encrypted phone.
Do you think Russians have a problem with that?
Cut the communication please.
I need to make a call.
Joel, we changed roads because of blockades.
I'm not to use my phone.
They're looking for a safe road.
This looks very much like a kidnapping.
I know. I'll call you back.
You think that's what it is?
It's possible.
Two French agents are worth a lot to the separatists.
And to them?
They just want a nice house.
What do we do?
Joel is handling it with the office.
We can't do anything.
We can swap jail stories.
I don't know why you're not in jail.
I owe you my first trip to jail.
You owe me the second one too.
The Americans say they have no activity of interest to us in Ukraine.
Which means absolutely nothing.
If they are preparing something,
they're in contact with the escort, right?
Yes.
But Raymond's liaison has an encrypted phone.
Commander Sergey as well.
We can't find out who they're talking to.
Can't we hack the phones?
You think I'm looking at Facebook?
I'm using Raymond's computer's Bluetooth.
Their codes are unbreakable.
But through a fault or bug,
I could get into Raymond's liaison's phone.
We can't break the codes, but we can study the encryption.
If the Americans are talking to the Ukrainians,
they'll only trust their own encryption codes.
OK, we're good.
American codes change constantly, at unparalleled speed.
I can calculate the speed of change.
It's their signature.
We are waiting for information about which road to take.
We're safe here.
It shouldn't take long.
Can I use your phone again?
No international calling.
They don't trust you.
I can understand that.
You're not really free, are you?
No.
Why did they send you?
Don't go there, it's dangerous.
- Really? - Yes.
There are separatists patrol on the road.
And what if I want to go anyway?
Come on man, don't make our job more difficult.
What job?
We're here to protect you and drive you safely to the meeting point.
Come, let's have lunch.
Do you trust them?
I see evil everywhere.
Did I mean nothing to you when I was in Iran?
Was I simply disposable?
No.
What about the mission you sacrificed me for?
I can't discuss it.
How did it feel to betray me again?
Each mission is separate.
If I had to betray you a third time, I would.
Even if I thought it was very unfair, I'd do it.
You're loyalty personified.
You wouldn't do the same?
I would.
Thank you.
It's mint tea.
The US has upped communications with Ukraine.
It's confirmed.
And the escort's encryption method isn't Ukrainian.
Maybe the Americans did a technology transfer?
Not this kind.
You don't transfer cutting edge technology.
What are the odds
the Ukrainians and Americans are communicating?
80 % certain.
Michel Ponte, please.
If nothing gets leaked,
I can hope to avoid being judged
and imprisoned.
Park me in an office
and pull me out occasionally for a question on Syria.
No waves, no scandal...
They'll never trust me again...
but I can still be useful.
I think that's what they'll do.
I hope so.
That's fine with me.
Let's go.
We have to split up.
We go with the lady first, then you'll go with Pavel.
No, I stay with her.
It's better to split up, so we'll stay below the radar.
Listen, my mission is to stay with her.
So we takey one car instead of three, OK?
I'm in charge here and I'm makeing the decisions.
It's for security.
We stay together. Let's go.
You're makeing a lot of trouble.
We all could die here, don't you understand?
You're a dangerous man!
Take his phone.
Please.
I keep your phone, I don't trust you.
The Russians can intercept our
communications, I don't want trouble anymore.
We go first, you go after.
And if my team needs to handcuff you, they will do it.
- Go ahead. - You'll be right behind us.
I don't think so.
- They can't hold you. - I don't know.
Tell Joel what's going on here.
Unfortunately, I bet he already knows.
I don't understand.
You wanted to know why they sent me.
Now you know.
No way.
Go.
Enough, let's go.
I apologize.
They're leaving.
Raymond, do you see what I see?
- Did you try to reach them? - No one's answering.
You remember?
Ask for a lot, to receive a little.
Are we ready?
Convince Price you're a friend of lode 3.
You met at the katiba.
Along with Price's friends, the ones from lode 3's hood.
You hung out together. Use their lingo.
You need to get the hideout address.
OK.
What if lode 3 lied? And Price isn't in charge of logistics?
He didn't lie.
How do you know?
When I'm sure of something, I get zits around my asshole.
- Good enough answer? - Yes.
Don't mix up the lines.
Audio Forum (General)
JU-87 joined the forum at 5:30
We're alone in the forum, but someone is online.
Online: Aln9398
Is that Price?
Mention him in the chat.
Mention
Ahmad?
You're not Ahmad.
I'm a cousin.
Are you Price?
Where is Ahmad?
He's sick.
Shit... since when?
- It's been a week. - Is it serious?
No, he's being cared for in France.
He gave me his account so we can talk.
About what?
About the room.
Price?
Do we know each other?
No.
- Forget it. - We know Ahmad, brother.
Audio off, but still in the forum.
Not in writing
Are we sure he read that?
I traveled with Ahmad.
And others.
Fragged?
It means "killed".
He's testing us.
You knew them?
Yeah, especially Moussa.
He found a PS4. We only had two games.
For two years, we played GTA and Call of Duty.
- Where are you from? - Nice.
We have to hook up.
We can't, bro.
Ahmad's illness is fishy. I don't trust anyone.
So why are you calling?
I'm calling about the room.
I'd bring 2 friends. They traveled a lot with Ahmad.
Two? You're crazy.
Impossible.
We'll need clothes too.
I'm here to replace Ahmad. An order from above. Get it?
I don't want trouble. No one told me.
Relax, cousin.
Ahmad said you'd help me.
Inch 'Allah...
How much?
Drop it. Your story stinks.
He hung up.
I want to meet up with the others. Ahmad's guys.
I'll need three beds.
And I'm arriving tonight.
What clothes do you have?
I don't know yet.
Did you dress the others?
Yeah.
I'll need the same. 1000 for the room, 10,000 for clothes.
Depending on your stock.
OK, but Ahmad owes me some dough.
I don't know anything about that.
Don't push it.
Listen to me. Stick to what we discussed.
Don't try to screw me. We meet at the room.
I'm not here to be seen.
Ahmad knows I don't sell on credit.
You want to tell him yourself?
Are you calling me a liar?
"Oh, ye who believe!
Fear Allah and be with those who are truthful."
You know Aulnay? The bakery by the station?
Don't be upset man, we'll be leaveing soon.
Maybe 20, 30 minutes.
You want some tea?
Don't bullshit me.
I'm not, we're in the same team.
You don't know which team I'm on.
You're not the DGSE?
Yes I am.
That's why you're upset, I understand.
Sorry for what we had to do.
You should have cooperated.
You OK?
Do you have news on Bernard?
He's not with you?
No, they separated us by force.
He's still there.
Where is Mr. Bernard, my colleague?
He'll be here soon.
We had to split up for security, he refused.
So I had to force him.
That guy's trouble.
Where is he?
In a safe place, he'll be here soon.
You should not have done that. I want to speak to him.
No communications, it's too dangerous.
- You don't communicate with your men? - I do.
So let me talk to him!
I not allowed to do that, I'm telling you.
He'll be here soon.
Stop yelling.
Did you know?
About what?
Did you know this would happen?
No!
I would resign immediately if that were the case.
Leave us, please.
Sylvain, young man...
Marie-Jeanne?
Does Jean-Jacques stay?
Then I do too.
On what grounds?
For balance.
To confront points of view. To help make decisions.
It's good to have a woman.
You don't know what this is about.
Isn't it about ordering the Americans to interrupt
their mission involving Malotru?
It is.
Will you do it?
Probably.
Probably?
I'm against it.
That's why I'm staying.
You need an open debate.
I'm sorry about all that man.
But it's not too bad.
You won't suffer.
You won't feel anything.
You'll just sleep, and dream.
You're lucky in a way.
It's the best way to die, right.
Sweet dreams, Mr. Bernard.
This is a godsend.
A unique opportunity we must seize.
Behind our backs, the Americans cut a deal with the Ukrainians
to get rid of Malotru.
They'll make it look like a skirmish with separatists.
They solve their problem...
and ours!
Without asking our opinion.
Without our authorization.
All we have to do
is do nothing.
And condemn him.
He condemned himself
when he tried to blow Chevalier up.
Should we have jumped in and forbid him to die?
Are we really going to rescue him
every single time he falls out of bed?
Lots of rhetoric.
No matter what you call it, it's murder.
We can prevent it.
He's our agent.
Thanks to him, we sent a major operative
to a major territory in Russia.
He's working for us.
In exchange, we assassinate him?
We can't do that.
Here's the rule,
the reasonable rule I find very fair.
"We don't hunt, punish or kill."
No, we don't kill.
But when a disloyal agent is in trouble,
we don't help him out.
The least we can do
is abandon him.
Yes, we abandon him. That's the rule.
You're very keen to discuss the death of a man who works for us.
I said what I had to say.
In some cases, we kill those who work for us.
For example,
if a source becomes dangerous, we get rid of them.
There's no ethical question.
The issue is strategic.
Perhaps.
Perhaps in this case,
the question isn't whether we save our agent...
but rather, do we let the Americans know
we know what they're up to.
They know we know. They know we're no fools.
And that we're opposed to this.
So, the real question is,
given everything we know, is it in our interest
to go against the Americans?
If I call them now and say,
"stop everything",
I'll owe them.
There will be many opportunities for them to ask us
to stop a mission.
And we'll have to concede.
That's the question.
The real impact of this call, in the future.
In that mission, our people, maybe several of them,
people who haven't betrayed us,
may be in danger.
A terrorist cell arrested in a Paris suburb
An attack was being planned from an apartment
which also contained explosives and weapons.
