Hello?
It's Guillaume.
Three days earlier
This cellphone
was used to call Nadia el-Mansour last night.
Triangulation helped us locate it
in a trashcan in Paris' 16th district.
Of course, we don't know who used it.
It was only used once after being unpacked.
For that single call.
You think it wasn't Guillaume. Why?
Nadia left her office right after the call.
She bought a burner phone that she hasn't activated.
- Meaning? - She'll use that phone
to communicate with Debailly.
Otherwise, why the show?
She received instructions by phone.
- She was told to buy a burner phone. - Yes.
Debailly didn't give her the instructions.
No.
It only lasted seconds.
Just long enough to say,
"I have a message from Debailly.
"He'd like you to buy a phone
"and activate it at a specific time."
If Malotru made the call,
why didn't he talk longer?
Would he risk the call just for a few seconds?
Would she buy a phone right after the call?
He didn't make the call.
But he will.
Marie-Jeanne?
I'll call you back.
Excuse me.
Why didn't you tell me?
I told the DGSI first.
We activated the emergency procedure and began the search.
Phenomene didn't go to work this morning.
She's probably still in her hotel.
You wouldn't have been any quicker.
Whatever. Someone has to go there, now.
Where do you think I am?
Philippe...
Let me go, please.
You don't know what to do.
You're being totally paranoid.
Be quiet.
You're panicking, like I did.
See? It can happen to anyone.
Why don't you tell your bosses?
Why are you handling this alone?
If you don't trust me, tell your bosses.
They'll advise you.
You can't keep me locked up in here.
The cultural attaches assistant, please.
Mr. Uri Rozenberg, please.
Mr. Rozenberg?
Mr. Rozenberg is no longer in our services.
I don't understand Hebrew. English, please.
Did you call them?
I'm not sure it'll be good for you.
Hi.
Excuse me, my fianc�e...
I'm sorry, I'm looking for my fianc�e.
Did you...
Did you see her?
She's thin, short hair...
No, sorry.
Well, I guess I'll check with security.
Security, really?
- Where do you come from? - France.
- I speak French. - I didn't know.
I'm really sorry to bother you.
You shouldn't alert security yet.
This is Azerbaijan. They're...
Maybe she went out?
No.
We spoke last night. She knew I was coming from Paris.
- She had no reason to go out. - I understand.
But here, security can be complicated.
Well, I...
I don't have a choice. Maybe the embassy?
Sure, maybe.
- Thank you. - Good luck.
I heard my boyfriend's voice.
Why's he here?
He was visiting. It was planned.
You didn't tell me?
You scared me.
What on earth am I going to do with you?
Look...
My boyfriend... I could've yelled, but I didn't.
Why didn't you?
Because if you let me go now,
I'll just call and reassure him.
He won't call the police.
And our work together won't have been for nothing.
If you keep me here, it's all worthless.
Why do you care?
I don't know.
What we did is important to you?
It is.
Why?
I don't know. For my country?
Cut the bullshit.
I let you go and we just keep going?
Yes.
As if nothing had happened?
Why not?
Nice try.
You think she's being held?
If he got rid of her, he'd have left the country.
I'm sure she's locked in his bathroom.
The bathrooms lock from the outside.
Her bathroom key was in the lock,
on the outside.
He locked her in her bathroom first.
He moves her back and forth.
I left a phone in her room. It works as a mike, just in case.
- Here's the number. - Go ahead.
07-52...
74-42-45.
Is it charged?
Fully.
Stay on the line.
- Marie-Jeanne? - Yes?
I can go back. I'll neutralize him and get her.
Don't do anything.
Simon, if you do, you'll blow the mission for good.
The mission? It's already over.
That's not your call.
He can't screw up the mission.
Getting her out of there isn't "screwing up".
Is he undercover?
- Simon, are you undercover? - I had no time.
Stay on the line.
He needs to go far away, right now.
If the Mossad spots a DGSI agent, they'll cancel the mission.
All we'll get is a computer program.
Simon, get the hell out of there.
Device activated
You have to let her go, now.
If her friend called the police, this could get complicated.
What if he's not her friend?
It doesn't matter. Free her and reassure her.
Get her to trust you, so she doesn't flee the hotel.
We need her to stay until our team arrives.
The team?
They're on their way.
What for?
Good morning.
- How are you? - Very well. You?
- Fine. Did you have a safe flight? - Yes.
This is 103, for you.
119, on the first floor...
129, on the same floor...
I'm sorry.
You spoke to your boss?
I lost it. I'm so sorry.
My career's over.
What did he say?
What do you think he said?
That I screwed up.
And I was horrible to you.
Look at us.
I locked you in a bathroom!
You can go.
Forgive me, Marina, I'm a piece of shit.
I ruined everything.
You just witnessed the worst of French intelligence.
Believe me, we're usually better than this.
I have one request.
Call your boyfriend. Tell him you're okay.
If he doesn't call the cops, the mission may be saved.
If not, it's over.
10 missed calls
Marina?
- Where are you? - What about you?
In my room.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine. I'll explain.
If you're not, I'll come right back.
I'm fine, I promise.
Prove you're alone.
I love you.
Okay.
You came, after all.
Yeah.
Come home, soon.
If I call the Mossad, she's safe.
They won't touch an agent of ours.
Phenomene can come home.
But she and her legend will be blown.
Along with the benefits of the mission.
The Mossad hasn't contacted us yet.
So they still think she's a virgin.
If she's solid, she can handle the situation.
The Baku desk, for you.
Marie-Jeanne Duthilleul.
We received an urgent message from Phenomene.
Go ahead.
There was a storm. Damage needs to be assessed.
Thank you.
He let her go.
Listen to this.
See you later. Bye.
"What if he's not her friend?"
"The team?"
"What for?"
They sent a team.
To do what?
To clean up.
This conversation took place 16 minutes ago.
- I can't tell you. I'm ashamed. - Come on!
- Hello? - Where are you?
I'm leaving my room.
You're in danger, Marina. Don't leave.
Too late.
Excuse me.
Somebody wants to speak to you.
My name is Marjorie Brenner.
I'm with the French General Directorate for Internal Security.
A French national informed us that you recruited her on our soil.
We know exactly what she did for you.
Thank you. Very instructive.
Have a nice trip home, Miss.
Thank you. Have a nice day.
Have a seat, please.
Gentlemen,
you've instructed a plan to damage Iran's nuclear capacities.
It was brought to our attention by the French citizen
who you poorly decided to implicate in an underhanded way.
We could use this information,
sell it to the Iranian government.
With the opening of the Iranian market, it's worth it.
Instead, we propose to work on this destructive device together.
We wish to collaborate with you
on maintaining and improving this program.
Therefore, we're here to study the terms and conditions
of this mutually beneficial collaboration.
Hi, guys.
- Hey there. - Hi.
- You've come home? - Yeah.
You here for a while?
- See you around. - Bye.
You okay?
I just ran into Nico and Sam.
Isn't the Socrates mission debriefing over?
It's already done.
That's what I thought.
So why are they here?
Their mission's over.
Why?
Are you cleared to know?
So why did you ask?
You want a hint?
Sure.
You want to know what's up with your little prot�g�e, Escogriffe.
We're still a couple of sorts, so you think I'll tell you.
So I Will.
You'll eventually hear it from her anyway.
The Turks will hit Jarabulus, with the Syrian rebels.
We can't piss off the Turks, so we're dropping the Kurds, for now.
What does that mean?
We're disengaging.
Leaving the hotspots.
Like Beyadi.
And asking our Turkish friends to show restraint.
Restraint in what way?
Not to massacre the Kurds.
The Kurds have been prepping to take Jarabulus for ages.
We've helped them.
That's what "dropping the Kurds" means.
Why tell me this?
It's a breakup gift.
- Can I talk to you? - Yes.
I need to talk about an agent.
Escogriffe?
Yes.
Save your breath. Celine already begged me to get her out.
Why can't we?
We need her there, to keep us informed.
We could lose her. They'll be bombed.
She's a soldier
in a warzone.
She's aware of the risk.
She's a precious asset we should protect.
Our mission isn't to save our sources when things change.
It isn't?
No.
Our mission is to gather intel.
Hello, Mr. Chehlaoui.
- Blandine Obalk. - My pleasure.
Forgive me...
I sit all day long. You mind if I walk around?
- It's just the two of us. - Not at all, I understand.
Guillaume Debailly is a smart man.
He knows this must stay in the family.
Or he'd be in Moscow with Snowden.
He knows we won't launch an official manhunt.
So, we forget him?
He won't try to harm us?
I'm positive he won't.
He won't harm us.
He won't talk.
We certainly could forget about him.
He'd disappear into the fog. We'd never hear of him again.
Neither one of us.
Is that what you're suggesting?
No.
I don't intend to forget him.
Ms. El-Mansour, follow me please.
- Ms. El-Mansour, I'm Helen Berger. - Hello.
Would you like coffee? Water?
I'm fine. Thank you.
Please, sit.
- You always wear your headscarf? - Yes, I do.
Out of religious belief, then?
Yes.
I believe it's important for my mission.
I want to discuss Paul Lefebvre.
I know him well. He told us a lot about you.
"Us" being the U.S. State Department.
When did he talk about me?
We know he's been freed.
Our air force participated in the mission.
But he talked about you a while ago,
when you were detained by the Syrian regime.
Did he ask you to intervene on my behalf?
He didn't really ask us.
He gave us something in exchange for our intervention.
What did he give you?
Bernadette Deschamps Debailly
Why weren't you in the news?
My release needs to be secret.
What a twisted bunch they are!
I never understood why you despise the bureau.
Did you suffer?
No.
It was a walk in the park.
What are you doing?
I didn't think I'd see you again.
I assumed I'd read about your death in the paper.
I thought I'd be forced to watch some horrible video.
And not be able to tell anyone...
that my son died over there.
What were you doing there?
Was it worth it?
Why can't I talk to you?
That's not what fathers are for.
I'm in a difficult situation.
I need help.
- Isn't your bureau helping you? - No.
The army would never let you down.
The army would have shot me.
What are you saying?
End of audio call
I received an SMS for you.
For me?
For Nadia el-Mansour. PL.
Thanks, Samuel.
- Are you leaving? - Not yet.
I'll need your help, in a bit.
Of course.
It's starting.
An unknown phone was activated on Nadia's floor.
IMSI-catcher will send us data.
We already know it's a burner phone.
It's the only one on the floor.
So let's assume it's the one Nadia bought.
Malotru should call any second.
All those dots are active phones.
The reds are offline. The greens are online.
If Nadia's phone turns green, it's calling or being called.
In minutes, we'll track the caller
and tap live into the conversation.
Hello?
It's Guillaume.
- How are you? - I'm okay.
Are you safe?
Yeah.
Are you being taken care of?
I'm recovering.
Nothing.
She's not using it.
My daughter said you wanted news of me.
Sorry for all the security.
I know why it's necessary.
What do you know?
I know what you're accused of.
I know what you did for me.
What did I do?
You got me released from jail.
I know how you did it.
And what it cost you.
A lot.
You were in jail because of me.
It wasn't you.
It's just politics. Bashar's regime...
You tried to live your life, that's all.
And you wanted me in it.
You are in my life.
I may be in your life, but I'm a burden.
I'm the burden, aren't I?
I thought she activated it to use it.
It's traceable.
He probably told her to wait until the last minute.
I wonder what "last minute" means to her.
- The green dots are phones in use? - Yes.
This one, here...
It went on as I walked in.
It's Samuel Gendron's phone.
- Her... - Her assistant.
Who's he calling?
His phone's encrypted.
We can't retrieve the data and we can't tap it.
- Her phone's encrypted too. - But we worked on it.
Guillaume will never call that phone.
That's the phone she's using.
Not the burner phone.
She's using Gendron's phone!
After what you've been through,
I thought you might wish I'd never existed.
What I went through is totally separate.
It's my job.
A mission that backfired.
I'm on the outside now.
Everything's fine.
No one's beating me up.
No one's beating you up.
Things are about to get better for us.
- Somethings up with Gendron's phone. - What?
We need to listen right now.
I'm going as fast as I can.
We can't locate the call.
You'll hear the conversation, but we can't track the call.
- IMSI-catcher can't... - I heard you.
$0?
What exactly do you know?
They talked about the Americans.
They told me why...
Clear the room!
- Marie-Jeanne... - Now!
Let's go.
Who told you that?
A woman you know. A psychiatrist.
Why do you think she told you?
I'm sure she has her reasons.
She wants to influence you.
Meaning?
Her employers are very interested in talking to me.
Yes.
Your world is very complicated.
And your world is simple?
No.
It's the same.
Are you being diplomatic?
You could say that.
I bet you're very good at it.
I don't know.
Guillaume...
The burden wants to see her burden.
That's impossible.
It can't be impossible.
You want to see me?
I need to see you.
Everyone expects me to make this mistake.
- We'll be careful. - Never careful enough.
Are you suspicious of me?
No.
Maybe I shouldn't be, but I'm not.
You could be used, without knowing it.
I've changed.
You have?
Yes.
Not too much, I hope.
No.
A diplomat lends me an apartment
- for meetings... - They Know of "w.
What about a hotel?
- Are you smiling? - Yeah.
I need to see you too.
So let's do it.
I'll give you the name of a place
where we can meet.
You'll wait for me when and where I tell you to.
If you tell anyone, too bad for me!
Even if you tell no one, it could still be a trap.
I'll call you
right before meeting you.
If you're not alone, you'll warn me with a code.
Remember the code we used in Damascus?
The 3 questions?
Yes.
Understood.
I'll call you back.
- Guillaume? - Yeah?
Me too.
You don't know what I wanted to say.
I don't.
But me too, all the same.
Here's our code specialist!
Our expert on train lingo.
Can I help you?
I hope so.
I doubt it.
But it's worth a try.
Ever heard of the "3-question" code?
- The 3-question code? - Yes.
Right now?
5 minutes?
One hour? Tomorrow?
- As fast as I can. - That's the idea.
Can we speak in private?
I don't have time.
Socrates...it's not my fault.
He chose to drink the hemlock, but you gave it to him.
A message for you.
Good evening, Nadia.
This is Mr. Chehlaoui, of the U.S. government.
My pleasure, Ms. el-Mansour.
Nadia, this is our director.
Mr. Pierre de Lattre de Tassigny.
Hello, Ms. el-Mansour.
You're about to receive a call from Mr. Debailly.
As you know, he's currently wanted by our services.
We need your help to apprehend him.
How?
Guillaume will call you.
He'll use a code to ask if you're alone.
You'll use the code to confirm
that you're alone.
Yes, we're asking you to lie to Mr. Debailly
so he lets his guard down.
You're putting me in a personally unbearable position.
I'm fully aware of this, Ms. el-Mansour.
You must make a choice.
Mr. Debailly caused his country great harm.
You're on a promising track in the service of your country, Syria.
Isn't that your goal?
To play a part in the new political process?
France backs this momentum. Don't upset it.
You're asking me to betray someone who's done a lot for me.
Mr. Debailly's actions put many people at great risk.
Very great risk.
He must be held accountable.
I'm officially asking you,
on behalf of the French state that welcomed and protected you,
to help us catch this man, so he may be judged for his crime.
Hello?
It's Guillaume.
Hi.
- I arrived safely. - Good.
Are you far away?
I'm on my way.
We can't track him in real time.
He's moving.
I wonder if we can eat here.
I'll ask.
- It's Jonas. - Tell me.
I searched Guillaume's file
and studied the list of his instructors.
Get to the point.
This is the 3-question code.
He'll ask her 3 questions.
If she answers the last question with a question,
it means there's a problem.
I'm bringing something with me.
Something you'll like.
Are you alone?
Yes.
You weren't followed?
I don't think so.
So, we'll get to see each other?
Do you really want to?
Yes.
You shouldn't have done that.
