OFFICE OF LEGENDS 1ª Temporada - Episódio 01
So? How was it?
Amazing.
I do not wanna talk about it?
Of course. I'll talk.
DAMASCUS
When happened?
This morning.
How did she react?
How do you think?
Is that you?
I loved it.
All right?
I'm leaving.
- Where? - Jordan.
To do what?
I accepted a job at the French Lycée in Amman.
- For how long? - It is a place I do not know.
You're telling me you're leaving, or is it something else?
Both.
Which strategy you just using?
The worst. It was not strategy.
It was pathetic and depressing. Just finished.
- What did you say? - The worst thing in the world.
I did not know what was in Damascus,
I was wrong with my divorce,
who could not bear to grow old, to be a teacher,
and I missed my daughter.
I should leave, and alone.
- What she said? - What could she say?
She insulted me.
An hour would happen.
She cried a little.
I knew he would not stay in Syria forever, especially now.
Typical end scene, a little more brutal.
This does not bother me.
It is even good for me, because of Marwan.
She yelled at me.
You are sad?
I am sad too.
Was good.
Very good.
Glad you're telling me now.
I would not like to have known in advance.
She wanted to throw the bag in my face, but he held back.
She left.
Slamming the door?
Slamming the door.
It's time to leave the country.
You have no choice.
Do not.
- I'm going. - Okay, see you soon.
See you soon.
4 MONTHS LATER
AlbustigriS LEGEND
Go with them, I follow you.
- Oi, CHAMAM me Grandpa. - Oi.
- I'm Mémé. - Is a pleasure.
That's the Mule.
What is the plan?
We're going to your apartment by the intermediate zone.
- In l'Étoile? - No, Opera.
From now on, always go for the intermediate zone, right?
Whatever your destination, go through the intermediate zone.
If the Boulevard Mortier, change their means of transport.
Sure?
If walking, take a car, and vice versa.
Sure.
WELCOME, MALOTRU
ARGEL
- Half an hour. - Half an hour?
The exact time to falter.
Look at that!
Looks!
I stopped!
License and vehicle documents.
What was this?
Come with me.
Move yourself!
Take him away.
Come on.
Enough!
It looks like he drove like a slug.
I was completely drunk.
He told police that he drove slowly to avoid an accident.
They took him to the police station.
He was stopped here. In Belouizdad.
In the center of Algiers, near the Sofitel.
This was the path according to the cell towers.
He followed this route.
This is the police station Belouizdad.
- And since then? - He did not move.
We checked every 15 minutes.
Cyclone is there.
- Our team is at the entrance. - Cyclone was really drunk?
Was. There were witnesses.
- He is a devout Muslim? - Yes.
We will send someone to check what state he is.
Great, and let me know when he gets out.
Tell me...
He trained him to be interrogated under the influence of alcohol?
Clear.
Can I have access to the recordings to see how it fared?
He did well?
Sim.
I will find them.
- Do you need something, sir? - I'm not well.
Just arrived.
It is first-rate.
I tried one in the seat, it costs the eye of man.
I guess. It does away with back pain.
Quer helps to unpack?
No thank you. Later.
If I missed something, I will not leave again.
- Where is Mr. Jacques? - Was transferred.
He received an irresistible offer.
A promotion.
I understand.
He had informed me.
I'll be your new charge.
My name is Raymond Sisteron.
Sisteron?
Sure...
- You looked ... - Yes.
I analyzed the files in detail.
If you agree, we begin with the Colonel Bazire.
It's all right.
- O que é isto? - Château Guiraud 2005.
A Pauillac, a great wine.
You want me to take?
You want to take something else? Beer or vodka?
You know I can not drink. My religion will not let me.
You can make an exception.
You should know that need to keep the cover under the influence of alcohol.
- Sorry, it's impossible. - Rachid, you need to drink.
No use arguing, is the protocol.
But you are sending me to Algiers because I'm Muslim.
You can only leave if we know that is able to maintain the disguise
when you lose control.
I never drank anything alcoholic, and I will never drink.
If I am forced to drink, I'll be in danger.
It means that my cover is gone.
If I am forced to drink in Algeria,
It means that it is too late.
You are very stubborn.

NADIA EL MANSOUR, professor at the University of Damascus
DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY
I want to see my daughter.
Paul was not easy.
It was not rational. It was not moral.
I had no future.
But I keep those moments for the rest of my life.
Hello.
Sir.
I see you, sir.
MEETING IN PROGRESS
ROOM MEETING OF RESTRICTED ACCESS
- Hello, sir. - Hello, Henri.
- How are you? - Well, I wanted to see me?
I knew something happened in Algiers.
You know?
Something happened?
Nothing more. At least...
- Nothing more? - No.
How nice.
If there is one place where nothing can happen in Algiers is.
If you were going on something, I would tell you right away.
Great.
- Alô? - E Henri Duflot.
Are you questioning?
Yes, but the files are unreadable.
What?
- What is happening? - The file is corrupted.
- No backup? - Yes, but they are equal.
Recording is the problem.
This is ridiculous ... They had not informed?
Only now I had to see them.
- My predecessor asked not to? - No, he trusted me.
Sure.
Okay thank you.
Is nice.
- Whose is it? - From a painter.
He lives in a nursing home and rent the apartment to me.
Great. You will live here?
Yes, until I find another place.
- Only two bedrooms? - Yes.
Sure.
You asked a lot.
I did not know how much you eat.
Or drank wine.
- That's the good? - Yeah, you like it?
Yes, it's good.
- Your mission ended? - Yes, we finished.
Which was?
- I can not talk about it. - You killed people there?
Do you really think I tell you?
I can not tell you what I do, but I can tell if I killed people?
- Freed hostage? - No.
- Do not freed hostages. - Found chemical weapons?
- No. - Installed eavesdropping?
- No -. I will not know, then.
Do not.
- How are things at home? - Good.
- Where are you going on holiday? - For Portugal with Mom.
- Your mother and Louis? - Yes.
How are things with Louis?
Its a secret.
- Very well. - What's it?
You will not talk, but I must speak?
My mission was to make contacts.
Meet people in a given environment,
observe them, know them,
and check whether they had information that could be useful.
If it were the case,
I had to convince them to give to us.
- You the blackmailing? - No, it does not work.
They are people who want to help France
or promote their cause.
My only task was to find interesting people.
I had to make friends.
Known, say so.
Therefore it stayed away for six years.
To meet people ...
Rather I kill people?
Yes. No, I do not know.
But it's cool.
He stayed away to friends.
I stayed away because it's my job.
Yes ... Well, whatever.
- Take it. - Thanks.
One more thing.
Remember Istanbul, the hotel?
- I remember. - It's the same here.
- Am I being followed? - If you think you are, it's normal.
They make sure that I was not seen.
If the driver acting strangely, I care?
Swing arms, and will intervene.
- Always try to identify them. - If you can, let me know.
I may scold them.
- Good evening. - Goodbye.
Hello?
Our agent caused a fight in a bar and was arrested earlier.
Yes, I know.
It is being brought to Belouizdad station.
Due out tomorrow morning.
He will give us news about Cyclone.
Great thank you.
Sure, you will enter the station.
Will ask questions, investigate ...
Go out and tell me that the Cyclone is well.
Hello?
Our agent is in the police station. He must leave in 24 hours.
We know what is happening.
Will take. Thank you good night.
Will take?
Of course we know.
- Saw? I took good care of you. - Thanks for the wine.
There are only two places.
Here or a hostel in Ville-d'Avray.
An environment to Simenon style.
I thought I would prefer here.
- I parked in a double row. - Okay, let's go.
Glad you're here.
- Because right now ... - What?
We have a problem.
What type?
The kind that can not be nothing, or a nightmare.
I want you to take charge of the next agent.
- You want me to train? - What supervise the preparation.
It's not every day that there is a back and another leaving.
Where is he going?
"She" goes to Iran.
It's ok.
27, geophysics.
What are you doing in Iran?
Work at the International Center of Geophysics of Tehran,
in the department of seismological studies.
What is your job?
Evaluate regional seismic risk
where people want to install
thermal or nuclear power plants.
well decorated your text, bitch.
Will stop swearing?
I do not like when a bitch thinks I'm stupid.
What the fuck are you doing in Iran?
What is happening?
- Did not understand? - No.
You need to learn the Persian spoken in the street.
It will not be questioned by gentle teachers.
Will be police, rude, crude.
- It's ok. - If you do not understand them,
It is a problem.
From now on, study with this, okay?
It's ok.
- The police interrogate so? - You bet.
In Iran, you can be arrested, interrogated by anything.
And it means nothing.
If you do not understand what they say, will panic.
- Sure? - Sure.
Here's Guillaume Debailly, better known as Malotru.
- What a pleasure to see you again. - Thank you.
Welcome. I call Rim.
I am Secretary of Henri Duflot.
Nice to meet you.
Austerlitz, in charge of Ostrogoth, our Chinese agent.
Is a pleasure.
ATTACK THE BOMB IN DAMASCUS UNIVERSITY
- It's good to see it, Malotru. - Hello, Jean-François.
All right? Welcome to the Legends Agency.
Thank you very much.
- We can...? - Clear.
- Is weird. - Truth!
3D is different.
- He looks good, right? - Very well.
What will he do now?
Oversee the training of Marina Loiseau
- Marie-Jeanne Duthilleul. - Good idea.
I ask him to handle the case of Cyclone.
We need his experience.
It is also a good idea, is not it?
Give him time to readjust.
He said, he is prepared.
He is the best here.
- We're lucky to have him. - Of course.
- They have worked together, right? - Work.
I work in the field,
and he was an analyst. We worked together for a while.
After he got tired of the Agency, and became a volunteer.
Yes ... and set out on a mission.
- And I was assigned here. - In 2010, I remember.
I was already the assistant director of its predecessor.
And the identity card?
- Still not found. - How is it possible?
I still have to empty two huge chests.
I bring so finding.
It's ok. Anything else?
No, it's all there.
Now it's my turn.
We check everything.
- Email address? - Plefebvre@gmail.com.
Okay, no more.
Some other address?
plefebvre34@hotmail.com.
You can login? I think he is still active.
I thought I canceled.
Normal, you must select a box to close the account.
Wow!
All who are concerned about you.
Okay, I'll quit.
Sim...
You want to take a look?
- Yes why not? - All are insults.
You disappeared without a trace, people are upset.
- Want a coffee? - Yes please.
I LOVE YOU. NOT FORGOTTEN. I DO NOT WRITE MORE. NADIA
- What's up? - I'm taking a scolding.
- I warned. - All right, you can quit.
I saw your picture, but was not sure.
- Good Morning. - I am Marina Loiseau.
It is an honor. A stroke of luck.
There are two men at the counter behind you.
- In blue suit? - No, more to the left.
A tall guy in pink shirt
and other denim jacket, about 30 years of age.
Perfect.
I want to name, surname, profession and phone number.
You have 15 minutes.
It's ok.
Okay, first and last name, profession ...
Good Morning. Can you give me two minutes?
I am responsible for the new menu.
You are repeat customers?
I come from Monday to Friday.
Nothing bad.
It may be a little big if ...
I really like Turkish salad.
So, first and last name, profession and phone number.
Very well. He made the mistake that I expected.
The bottom left and top left. He liked you.
As soon as I leave, he will come after you.
You learn how to approach people at a suitable distance.
Not so far away, to learn as much as possible,
not so close, not to influence the target.
Its mission is to meet people without attracting attention.
You are not an agent, it is illegal.
You do not recruit.
You describe.
All right?
Do not stay. Ask something.
Make a report to me. Have a nice day.
You are measuring the table? Is a joke.
I wanted to know who hastened my return to Damascus.
The director decides on the end of the mission.
The head handles the details.
Strategy is to Duflot. Tactic is me.
I thank you for 48 hours in advance?
- Who cares? - Why would you do that?
To keep you focused on the job.
It's like moving house.
When you know you'll break you mentally changes.
It is there to move, but is not mentally.
You clean least neglects.
I did not want that to neglect the mission.
You did a good job until the end.
How long you waited to tell me? 2 or 3 months?
Between the two.
What exactly is the problem?
He did not have to say goodbye? You had no friends.
She was his girlfriend? It is?
She did not like?
SYRIA: THE BOMB ATTACK IN UNIVERSITY
Good night, then you still here?
- Does it bother you? - No, I thought it was over.
Apparently not.
I'll buy cigarettes. Do you want?
No, thank you.
Good evening.
A pack of cigarettes, please.
- Only that? - And a prepaid cell phone.
an identity document for the purchase is required.
Thank you.
Hello?
It's Paul.
It is calling because of the bombing?
Sim.
I was not there. I am fine.
I saw the news, it was scary.
I know.
The building was occupied by the army for two months.
So it was attacked.
There were no students or teachers.
They took us all there.
What good is a relief.
So even care about me?
Clear.
Where are you? Continues in Amman?
No, in Paris. I needed to see my daughter.
- Are you in Paris? - I am.
Me too.
Malotru!
My name is Guillaume.
Malotru is my cover name.
- I am no longer in disguise. - Sorry, it is the force of habit.
And as I'm not disguised, no need to watch me, right?
It's not surveillance, is security.
This is really necessary?
It is not for you to judge.
I would like to return to a simpler life.
- It is not yet possible. - Because?
You question too, Guillaume.
You forgot our protocols.
I should not do this to me.
- Act like? - In hostile way.
I'm not being hostile. I'm being cautious.
I know he works in counterterrorism.
We have an interesting clue about investments?
There is already a clue ...
some kind of fraud, an investment that seems ...
Our agent left. Not Benarfa signal.
- Are you sure? - I have.
- Nowhere? - No, no.
I do not understand, nobody saw him leave ...
Maybe he's in a basement ...
No, we checked everything. He's not there.
Our agent just called. Cyclone disappeared from the police station.
The Situation Room 1 is busy.
- I open the room 2? - Yes please.
ARGEL
- Colonel ... - Good morning, Henri.
I do not know if you know Malotru.
He recently completed a mission in Syria.
- Coronel. - Malotru ...
Do you know why I am called MAG?
My code name.
Agent like you, 8 years in Moscow.
Nice to meet you, sir.
I thought it would be useful to bring the first charge
do Cyclone, Jacques Bourdier.
In addition to the first charge, Jacques trained Cyclone.
Excelent idea.
The next time you say it's no big deal,
I'll be very worried.
There are now 52 hours without news from our agent in Algiers.
- We have how many active agents? - We had nine.
With Malotru back, now there are eight.
- Including Cyclone. - Including Cyclone.
We lost an eighth of the fleet.
His cell phone is at the police station where he was taken for 48 hours.
But Cyclone is no longer there.
One of our checked and informed us earlier.
- He is no longer at the station? - No.
- Nobody saw him leave? - No.
What are the chances?
We have three choices.
Cyclone was arrested.
Cyclone was kidnapped.
Cyclone organized his own disappearance.
The fact that he was drunk
favors the last two hypotheses.
Because?
As he refused to do
training interrogation under the influence of alcohol,
he must have lost control in the police interrogation.
Maybe he has revealed the cover.
- He was unstable? - No.
Why he refused to do the training?
- He is a devout Muslim. - So why was drunk?
Suddenly he lost faith and did not notice?
Colonel, when we are on a mission,
conversations with the charge are recorded.
Maybe that made the Cyclone suspicious.
- What do you think? - I have reviewed everything.
I saw no sign.
So they did not see anything, do not know where he is,
and not what happened.
- It is well summarized? - We also assess the risks.
Proceed.
A list of the Cyclone may have committed,
including that he had access before leaving for Algiers.
Jacques?
In addition to the 50 or more targets identified by Cyclone
he knows four who were actually recruited.
All operate in the Algerian intelligence services.
Cyclone also knew the following:
Amenas, Mauritania.
PHILIBERT, em Mali.
CAT na Argélia.
TRITON, Libya.
And to a lesser extent, chaloupe on the coast of Dakar.
Suspend all operations and leave the fonts on hold.
60% of our activity in Algiers may be compromised.
What a day!
Been to Algiers?
Yes twice.
- I almost got killed in 1991. - I know.
Some places give bad luck.
Yes, that was close.
Yes, you were just 50 meters from the explosion.
This shock wave to be much worse.
You have five weeks to resolve the situation.
If there, everything is not in order,
Our agents around the field, our re-enabled operations,
It will be complicated.
They say it's good to have a certain time frame.
But it is not always the case.
Do not worry, it will by the buffer zone.
We told him that cars are tracked?
- He guessed. - What idiot you are doing?
It is in dissing.
I sincerely hope that I am the only victim
no caso do Cyclone.
It was too fast. Yesterday was not even a case.
Why hide the truth from me?
It was my responsibility.
I needed a scapegoat to protect you and the Colonel.
As I'm leaving, you have no protection.
Should be happy, you have Malotru to replace me.
I do not know if it will protect you. Be careful.
With what?
It can be dangerous. Post-Mission disorder.
What is?
It still retains the cover.
Why are you in Paris?
I am studying in the House of World Cultures.
It is sponsored by UNESCO.
I was appointed director of the Foundation for Preservation of Heritage.
- Great. - Yes.
It is a great responsibility, especially now.
You come alone?
No, Marwan is waiting in the car.
He was in Damascus.
We should have told him about the tracker reservation.
They let you vaccinate them?
What?
You want to talk to Rémi?
He is exhausted, other works.
Mommy's all right. One is buried in taxes.
Yes, it's very funny!
You have more pictures of foxes? Arthur loves.
Will send?
I think I heard him coughing.
Okay, I'll leave you guys.
Brother, do not forget the foxes.
Goodbye!
I will do a question, you are not obliged to answer.
Ask.
What is the code name of the operation?
I should not say.
If you do not know...
If I say the code name, you can answer yes or no?
It's ok.
CAT.
Why you asking?
If you do not know...
You think I'm what?
Fuck you!
Go fuck your mother!
Sucker.
Where do you teach?
- I stopped teaching. - Oh really?
Yes, I'm writing.
- Write? About what? - It is still undefined.
A novel, an essay?
An adventure novel.
The story of a man running toward perdition.
- Doing what? - Exceeding the limits.
It is you who crosses the line?
What limits?
- Want dinner? - Yes.
I wanted to warn you. I'm seeing someone.
Really? It's all right.
A married woman.
Sure.
I know her?
I never spoke about it, but perhaps know.
It Nadia El Mansour.
A historian?
She is married to an oncologist called Marwan El Mansour.
As long as he is not a cop or minister.
How long they are leaving?
Since yesterday.
Will last?
Do not know. Keep you informed.
No, it is not necessary.
Unless ... there is a problem.
What kind of problem?
The bill.
- Put on account of my room. - Certainly.
- What's the number? - 303.
Perfect, thanks. Good evening.
