Thank you.
I need a signature.
Good.
Papa!
Papa, there's a package for you.
- I'm going out, okay? - You go, son.
Hello?
I would like to talk to Sylvain Ellenstein.
He will call you right back.
He is not there?
No idea.
It's just a bootable key.
What is it used for?
If the operating system is dead,
we can still start a computer with that
and access what's in the PC.
Is there nothing else on the key?
No...no. It's a custom made system.
It's well made.
Is it useless then?
For someone normal, no.
After all, we all use flash keys like that.
This is the same kind of bootable flash key
we use it if we want to use a PC
without leaving a trace.
You're telling me
there is nothing on the key.
No.
Everything is elsewhere.
On a server, for example.
I just start my PC with the key.
I do what I have to do and when I remove the key,
there is no longer any trace of my activity.
Call Vera Chupak, please.
Vera.
It's Mikhail.
I had a message to pass to Sylvain, but I can't reach him.
He with you?
He left for Seoul two days ago.
Hello?
On his own initiative?
No. He went shopping for us.
He does not answer his phone?
Yes. why?
When does he get back?
When he finishes shopping.
I'll call you back.
Fuck.
How do you know where I work at?
- I'm like a father for Sylvain. - And you don't know where he is?
Why should I answer you?
You know that Sylvain works in a sensitive area.
When I say sensitive I mean Security.
Do you know what that means?
It means that you have to answer my questions.
He is in Phnom Penh.
I know. - That's all I know.
He no longer answers his cellphone.
There is nothing I can do for you. Sorry. We are no longer together.
When you were there, he was fine?
I don't know what that means, at his place.
It's a little weird, you know, no?
Didn't he tell you he had to go somewhere?
He never told me anything.
If he ever calls you back...
I don't want to answer him, do I have to?
No.
It's me.
Book me a ticket on the next flight to Phnom Penh.
For Phnom Penh!
He took the 6:12 AM flight.
He arrives at 9:00 PM in Phnom Penh.
We begin.
Thank you.

Mina?
Hi, this is Pavel. How are you?
I'm well, thanks.
Work resumed on the 4th. It sounds like hell.
Are you coming soon?
Do you remember? I'm going to the hospital today.
Ah, yes. are you having a surgery?
Yes.
How long will you be away?
Three days.
Nothing serious, I hope?
No, no.
Don't worry.
Goodbye.
Bye, Paul. Good luck.
Black September.
Okay...Black September
is now a channel that we control.
If the French are aware,
they could use this channel to poison us.
I want us to carefully go through all the files
to see if there is any information that has been unfavorable to us.
If we see that we've been setup once or twice,
then Pavel Lebedev may be a double-agent.
There's a lot.
All the more reason not to hang around.
European Medical Center
Malotru left the Medical Center.
Everything is fine.
And when we call the clinic?
The reception will say he's in his room.
They will transfer the call to his new phone.
I would like to verify.
European Medical Center, I'm listening to you.
Pardon me, I would like to know...
Pavel Lebedev, is he in your clinic?
One moment.
Paul Lebedev, yes.
Could I talk to him?
If he's not already in the operating room,
I will try to put you in touch.
He shouldn't be answering before at the hideout.
He didn't answer. Do you want to leave a message?
No, thank you.
It's good.
Hello.
When did he leave?
Three hours ago.
How many hours of flight?
He's going through Hanoi. He will be in Phnom Penh in 8 hours.
It's an easy 24 hour wait.
What are you doing?
I have to warn someone.
What's the matter?
You afraid I'll call my Russian friends?
I wouldn't need a new phone for that.
Hello?
It's Pavel.
Hello.
I want to make love to you.
Me too.
Room No.12, Syria - Russia 2025
- Yes? - I am on my way.
Okay.
Paul?
I need to know who you're talking to on the phone.
Someone I'm sheltering.
I thought there was Samara Semionova.
There is someone else.
Who?
What you do may be a problem for the operation.
- What did I do? - Something not planned.
I had nothing to do what happened to you.
You okay?
I'm okay.
Then don't worry about the operation.
12:55 Casablanca PQ 7106/Gate Canceled.
Canceled
Fuck!
- Hello? - The flight is canceled.
The next one is in...
I don't know if there is one before tomorrow.
Could they have canceled it?
No. They wouldn't do that if they knew where you were.
How long will it take for your meeting to finish?
A little over an hour.
Buy a ticket for the next flight. To anywhere.
Okay.
It will be fine.
- Hello. - Good evening.
I'd like to change my ticket.
Here.
For the next flight to...Helsinki.
The 13:15 flight?
Yes.
Excuse me for a moment.
I think there's a problem with your ticket.
Okay...I'll come back.
Thank you.
Hello?
I left the airport, I didn't feel safe. I'm in a taxi.
Okay.
Can you call your think tank on a landline?
I can...I can call the Secretary.
Try to contact your colleague Sylvia at the meeting.
Tell her you couldn't come because of a personal problem.
Make an appointment with her at Café La Taverne.
Shmitovskiy Street. You sit on the terrace.
If she asks what the problem is?
You just broke up. You need to talk.
- Okay. - I'll call you back.
You have to tell me what's going on?
I have to go out for a while.
It's not possible.
I'll be back in two hours.
I can't leave you.
- Come with me. - Or?
Do what? Who were you speaking with in French?
Nadia El-Mansour.
Go with him.
Would you have...
an example of an operation with Guillaume Debailly
that failed?
No.
She's going to get arrested.
The whole operation will fall.
Let's go.
It's silly, I was so annoyed that I to...
What do you see?
A crying woman.
Why?
I don't know. She lost someone.
And the other?
A girlfriend who joins to console her.
I'm going to check the cars and join her.
If I don't see anyone, I cross my legs.
We send her over there.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm the friend you called before. You speak to me in English.
Okay?
Yes. Yes, everything's okay. Thank you.
I will ask you if you are alone? Say, "No". And it's better.
No, no...I'm not alone and...
I'm feeling better...really.
It's sweet of you to ask.
Apologize to her. Say that I insist you come.
Okay.
You see the street in front of you, right?
Yes, that one.
You are going there.
Don't hang up. Pretend. Put the phone in your bag.
You will come out in 20 minutes.
You understood well?
Okay, see you. Sure thing.
I have to go, my...my friend worries about me.
My dear, if you need anything, call me. I'm here.
- Okay? - I know. Thank you.
Don't walk too fast.
A car is coming
Nadia, stop there.
Pretend to search your bag.
Okay. There is a man in a gray suit behind you.
Look at him.
Did he look at you?
He smiled at me.
He wouldn't have done that if he followed you.
At the end of the street, there is a bus stop.
You take 104.
Get off at the Petrovin stop.
You go up Petrovin. You will see,
there is a Society Car Rental.
There is a car in your name. You will be taken care of.
Did you understand?
Yes.
Will we meet again?
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
I was told you were here.
I wanted to see how my protege was doing.
And so...how is he?
I saw his girlfriend in Moscow.
Not very reassuring.
In what way?
She described to me a person...
less balanced than what I see here.
In my opinion, he's very organized.
Is there any news?
No.
He is in Seoul. That's all I know.
He is accompanied.
How many passports does he have?
Only one, his own.
I came for nothing then?
I won't be able to answer that.
I don't know why you came.
Ah! Fuck!
Kennedy - Transfer Call
Raymond!
Yes.
Do you know where I am?
We must see each other.
I will SMS you my address.
I know your address.
Not this one.
50-50.
50-50, yes.
Either he comes alone and we make him a proposal,
or he warns everyone. He arrests everyone who is there.
So you come back.
You came to wish me good luck.
You have no reason to stay.
Pépé is there to protect me. He was not there the last time.
That's why it went wrong.
It will be alright.
Thank you.
Oh!
You have something?
I think so....
On December 7, 2017, the Americans used Black September
to transmit a message to the French
that on December 9,
they will be running a commando operation
against a chemical weapons warehouse in the suburbs of Aleppo.
Isn't that where we were caught emptying a warehouse?
I believe so.
We moved the chemical weapons stock on December 8, 2017.
We were surprised by UN inspectors...
because it was precisely the day scheduled for an inspection.
The commando operation was an eyewash.
Is that sufficient?
No.
It might be a coincidence.
We keep looking.
If we find something else, that's when we're sure.
No time to go back home?
Do you know what it is?
- Yeah, it's huge. - Which is?
Okay...you don't know.
There.
Yes?
Raymond. Come in. Come in.
Sorry to make you come back.
No problem.
Where are we? Do we have anything new?
Kennedy will land in a few hours.
Who is with Guillaume? Pépé there?
Yes.
Michel, why are we here?
I have two things to tell you.
To me?
Yes.
I wanted Raymond to be here.
One: Mille Sabords stays on the mission.
He's on a freewheel.
He's asking questions about Malotru?
It disturbed him in his work. Yes.
Two: He is to be told the truth about Malotru.
Operation Kennedy is launched,
whatever happens, Kennedy will understand
that we were never duped by the death of Paul Lefebvre.
Okay.
I understand how you feel about Mille Sabords and Pacemaker.
They were disturbed by revelations in the press.
They behaved in a disturbing manner.
You can't work with people if you have doubts about them.
Are you going to stop by your house?
Yes, unless...
Come into my office for two minutes.
Thank you.
This is the first time in 25 years that I have been disowned.
It had to happen. This was missing from my experience.
You're a funny fish, Raymond.
I am one of them who did not underestimate you.
- A small club. - Don't say that.
You are extremely reliable.
And beneath the bantering outside that everyone appreciates,
you are thorough and unfailingly loyal.
It is a rare in this service.
That is why I will propose that you direct the Bureau when I part.
That is to say tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
You are leaving?
Michel finished me.
"Terminated", in English.
Do you realize that?
I wouldn't say it was like that.
How would you say it?
He thinks I'm crazy.
I was very useful during a moment,
and it's likely that I crossed the line.
If you already realize...
It's time to go before this escalates.
Whatever the outcome of Operation Kennedy,
it's over for me.
Either I end on a success,
a real success.
If Kennedy is recruited, it will remain in the annals.
Or I leave a failure,
like so many others...we tried, we lost.
But I lost much more than the others.
Because I sacrificed quite a few things in this operation.
My integrity, in particular.
Give me Alexis Bakatine at security.
This is Mikhail Karlov.
I need to talk to you.
That's good.
Me too. I need to talk to you.
I'll be in your office in an hour.
She left at 10:15.
She went to a meeting at work .
Her cellphone remained for several hours in the building.
Then she went to the Café La Taverne.
We searched the cellphone. She received two messages at 10:22 AM.
What we said yesterday made me realize that our story was going nowhere.
I prefer that it stops here.
Who sent this?
The messages come from the phone of a certain Pavel Lebedev.
Where is she right now?
We don't know.
You don't know?
No.
She took a bus, rented a car and then nothing.
And her phone?
We found it at the rental car agency.
Thanks.
I don't know.
He was admitted yesterday.
Thank you.
Hello, Mikhail.
Excuse me.
Is he being operated on?
For what?
Is it serious?
Thank you.
Did you know that Petrossian was in the hospital?
No.
And that his little friend was missing?
Did you know that Sylvain Ellenstein was in crisis in Seoul?
- I don't... - What were you doing in Phnom Penh?
Did we send you there to sabotage his work?
The French knew that Black September worked for us.
What makes you say that?
We found a case of probable deception information by this channel.
One case?
Probable?
That's all?
For now.
Do you know who recruited Black September?
No.
Do you really want to attack the Head of the 2nd Directorate?
If you pursue, you will be crushed.
If you drop this, you will prove that you know how to curb your ambitions.
And that is the best way to climb up the career hierarchy.
We haven't changed since the USSR.
To succeed,
you don't have to be brilliant
or shabby.
You have to be gray and mediocre.
What do you choose?
Look for the real moles.
Don't invent the ones that can make you shine.
I'll think about it.
You will think about it in Kabul.
You got a promotion.
Straight from the Director
Yuri Thikonov is convinced of your qualities.
You will ensure the security of our embassy in Afghanistan.
In the meantime, we are moving your office.
Another team will take care of your files.
Is it done?
Yes.
What does he have? Is it serious?
A so-called case of deception via Black September.
About Petrossian, nothing.
Except that he's undergoing hernia surgery.
Yes?
Do you guarantee that Bugsy Malone and Petrossian are reliable?
I would be the first to act if I had a doubt.
You guarantee that Bugsy Malone and Petrossian are reliable.
I guarantee it.
Very good.
Bêta here.
He is alone.
He arrived. He is alone.
Epsilon here. No movement here.
I'm trying to understand something.
The French really did try to kill you, right?
Yes.
They miss you?
I don't know.
But you still agreed to work for them again...
Yes.
I don't know if I would have done the same.
When I was little, my father used to beat me.
But I still wanted him to love me.
Do the French love you now?
It will all depend on you.
What do you propose?
You introduced two double agents to the FSB.
I understand.
Either the FSB knows, or they don't.
What happens if they know?
I get arrested.
They will suspect me of having intentionally introduced you.
They will interrogate Katya and Anton.
They will pressure them
for me to admit it.
I will confess, and I will be executed.
We propose that they don't know about it.
Can you do that?
That's the plan.
How long would I have to work for you?
For how long as you need to.
Then we'll take you and your family to France.
Anton has always dreamed of going to France.
Very well.
I will call you to tell you what I decide.
The choice is yours.
We always have the choice.
Congratulations.
What questions do you...
Here she is.
I leave you with Sylvie, who will tell you
things on clandestine agents.
- Hello, Sylvie. - Hello Michel.
- Hello. - Hello.
I see you all have a form to fill out.
This is called here the registration form.
There is a question in this form:
"Would you like to be a secret agent"?
With a very small check box next to it.
If you check the box, the 1st consequence,
is that you are going to stay at Mortier for 1 year, 1-1/2 year.
If you ever want to be a secret agent,
during the time between missions, you don't have to expose yourself.
Not to travel, not to go to the field. We keep you warm.
The others go on an adventure and live experiences,
you do everything to keep you virgins.
In short, we will put you in the field.
This is so that one day you will be the pilot fish of the DGSE.
Those who have a mission
to identify potential traitors abroad.
To be an underground agent is to go abroad for years,
under "IF", fictitious identity.
We also say "under legend".
You are going to practice your trade.
Literature teacher, seismologist, computer hardware trafficker.
But your real job, it is to observe.
Track weaknesses, flaws, angles of attack,
to allow processing officers to recruit
those called "sources".
They will do it most often under IF too,
so that the sources never know never with whom they are dealing.
Your job will destroy people's lives
which are not necessarily bad.
Just strangers who work for their country,
and who have access to information important to our security.
People that can be called "bastards"
because they live on the other side of the border
and they know things
that their government wants to hide from us at all costs.
Goodbye.
