Raqqa Syria
Does lode 3 have a fighter profile?
Yes, he fought in Erbil and Mosul.
Maybe the collector lied to you.
I don't think so.
You have a signal?
Yes, surprisingly.
What's she saying?
"I asked Hamza. He doesn't mind.
Why us?
I'm not obliged to accept."
"You think our mission isn't dangerous?"
"I do, but there are fewer of you."
What are they talking about?
"I'll take the bearded guy.
But what about the hippo? He can't run.
He'll get us into trouble.
He'll sprain his ankle.
We don't have time for that."
Do you have your vests?
Klara.
Commander of the Sinjar women's unit, the YJS.
Come with me, we're leave in 10 minutes.
You can tell they don't mind...
In yellow,
our comrades positions.
Fifteen units.
In red, ISIS fighters positions we know about.
We share the data with aircraft, so...
that they don't bombard by mistake.
The less we stop, the better.
The hospital.
This is the west entrance,
and that, underground parking lots.
This's our objective.
We have to take and control this place.
Are there a lot of foreign fighters in this hospital?
Most of the Syrian fighters have already left Rakka.
The foreigners though, they know they will die here.
That makes them very dangerous.
Friends.
You have to walk.
Why?
Too many IEDs.
Let the others know.
Boobied trapped?
How do you say that in Kurdish?
Whatever you said, she didn't like it.
There is a motion sensor landmine over there.
And another one there.
We can't see beyond that, because of the debris.
Klara to Babir, do you copy?
Yes, I'll receive you, Klara.
I need minesweepers on the road to the hospital.
I'll send you my coordinates.
Okay. I'll get back to you in 2 minutes.
Hey, what's she doing?
Heza!
Heza, stop!
You'll blow yourself up!
Heza!
You hear me?
No one leaves the group without my permission.
Sorry, they're busy elsewhere.
Babir,
can you repeat?
When can they come?
We need to take cover, deminers can't come before tonight.
Aren't they eating, up there?
What?
They're not coming down to eat?
Sniper.
Thank you.
You want some food?
I'm leaving a plate for you.
How long have you been in Rakka?
Three months.
In 2 days, in 2 weeks, in 2 months,
the SDS will take back Rakka.
We move slowly, we are in no hurry.
And then?
Here,
every girl has a sister, a cousin, an aunt
we still slave Daesh fighters.
Instead of just one Yazidis still prisoner,
we keep fighting, even after Rakka.
You don't ask me if I was a prisoner myself?
I know you were captured.
You escaped
and you took up arms.
How do you know?
I heard about you.
Yet we were all captured, we were all raped.
What about her?
She doesn't speak?
No.
She doesn't speak to men or she doesn't speak?
For us, it's difficult, but we can talk.
Her...
There's no words to express what she went through.
What's your job at the DGSE?
I work in the Technical Directorate.
Which department?
Security operations.
How many are you?
A lot.
Good.
What's your expertise?
I was told my profile interests you.
You think we'd hire you just because you're from the DGSE?
I specialize in deep learning and neuron networks.
Offensive or defensive?
We don't do offensive.
Of course not. We don't either.
If you're hired, you can "not do offensive" with us.
Pascal?
I like this approach.
"You're interested in my profile..."
subtly introduces the ego.
And "I was told that..." reveals an element of worry,
while showing he has an ethical view of secrecy.
It's coherent.
Are you unhappy at the DGSE?
I want to explore my options.
My career options.
See what I'd get out of a different experience.
A Russian experience?
Why leave France?
Why not?
No, too sneaky. It sounds suspicious.
I want to work with the best, regardless of nationality.
Too cautious.
There are a few top teams in France.
But we're talking maybe fifteen people.
They'll never be at your level.
And they don't have much support.
Some hackers were arrested
for acting on behalf of the government.
That's insane.
Good.
You said you don't feel appreciated at the DGSE. Why?
My ideas aren't taken on board.
Why do you think that is?
Are they making a mistake?
It's possible that...
that my proposals are slightly off the beaten track.
Meaning?
To develop certain defensive algorithms,
you must first create the algorithm you want to fight.
That's offensive work.
Experimental, yes.
And?
In my job I develop experimental algorithms
and imagine possible attacks.
These are just tools to them.
But developing these algorithms produces new ideas
that I'd like to explore.
Credible?
Extremely.
The Russians think we're bozos.
Hi, Liz.
Thanks for your time.
Here's the deal:
Cesar will spend two days in Moscow.
How can he justify this to the DSec?
That depends.
Let's discuss what it depends on.
- Are you going alone? - Yes.
Where will you stay?
In an Airbnb.
You don't know anyone there?
No.
And this was your idea? No one suggested it to you?
No.
I've wanted to go, ever since I first heard about it.
Who talked to you about it?
Friends, my sister, my uncle...
People regularly visit Moscow.
Not DGSE agents.
What will you do there?
I'll go sightseeing.
I understand your interest in this city.
But that's not enough to obtain permission to go.
It's too sensitive a destination.
Especially for a TD officer.
Is that all?
Yes. Thank you.
We may need your help again.
Find something else.
I want permission to spend a week in Tallinn, in Estonia.
To visit their digital installations.
I have friends there.
I book a round-trip to Tallinn.
But after two days there, I hop a train to Moscow.
I spend a few days there,
and return to Tallinn for my flight home.
Why?
My friends work.
I've seen the city, and the tickets were cheap.
You don't call to let us know?
No.
Why not?
I don't think of it. My mistake.
How did you reserve your train tickets?
Online, with my personal credit card.
If we find out, we'll take it seriously.
To what degree?
We'll give him hell,
and watch him closely for some time.
The next time, he'll be fired.
We'll never tell him why.
Is that it?
Yes.
Thanks, Liz. You were great.
I'm here if you need me.
Let's take a break.
Your story is credible.
That's good.
Thank you.
Listen carefully.
Your legend,
all the stories you'll tell...
It's like you actually you lived them.
There's no other version.
You understand?
No.
They're not stories. They're the truth.
If you meet someone in Moscow,
he'll ask questions. Your answers
aren't fabricated.
You really lived them.
Never let your guard down.
Never, not with anyone.
Not even your boss.
If I ask what you told the DGSE, repeat the same story.
There is no other version.
I hear you're taking vacation?
Where?
Tallinn, in Estonia.
Moscow Russia
Sylvain?
It's Paul.
Paul Lefebvre.
Not very kind.
He's just being careful.
Call me back in 1 hour
What is he going to do?
How are you?
It's early.
You remember everything?
Everything.
We've been practicing.
Start over.
- Sylvain? - Yes.
Are you alone?
Yes, I'm home.
I gather you know where I am.
In Moscow.
Why are you calling?
I wanted to say hi.
How do you know I haven't told everyone?
I don't.
Did you?
Not yet.
How are things at the office?
Anyone close to you is in the hot seat these days.
You too?
I'm different. I'm indispensable.
I know that, but do they?
They know I'm the one who found you in Russia.
Then you're fine.
I'm fine.
They sent me back to the TD.
That's good...
Isn't it?
It is, in theory.
I've met some people here.
When they told me what they do, I thought of you.
I think you could be very interested.
I have to go to work.
I'll have more time this weekend.
Maybe.
Have a good day.
It's not okay.
He's perfectly aware of the risk that he takes talking to me.
Then what?
He didn't tell anyone.
He said, he didn't tell anyone.
He said he was back at the Technical... ah Directory.
That's not what he wanted.
Why?
'Cause he didn't like director.
He found that his ideas were not taking in conversation enough.
Raqqa Syria
The north and south pedestrian entrances and the car entrance?
Yes, can you see them?
Yes, I can.
We'll enter in three groups.
The comrades inside will watch the three parking entrances.
Here,
here...
and here.
You,
stay behind with Heza.
When we're in,
I'll make you sign so you can join me.
At least two snipers.
You're going to have to run, as fast as you can,
because the further the sniper is, it lessens the condition if you are running.
Be ready.
Let's go.
Go!
Clear. Down to -2.
There's something in the sky.
Drone! Take cover now!
Shit, where is it?
Is ite gone?
It came through there.
It won't go out. It's a kamikaze drone.
It's me, Elin! I shot it down!
Heza, you stand watch over the hole.
You, guard the car and pedestrian entrances.
We'll check out the other floors.
You, keep cover with Heza.
- Don't move. - Okay.
No one move!
Tunnel!
Heza!
No!
Moscow Russia
It's important to be in good health.
Absolutely.
If you're healthy, the rest will be fine.
Very true. I agree.
If your mood is good, that's even better.
That's important too.
- Good evening. - Good evening.
I'm here to discuss the Frenchman
who works as a cook in the square.
- Go ahead, I'll handle this. - Okay.
- Goodbye. - Have a nice evening.
I know you are very busy.
Your time is precious. I just have a couple of questions.
Yes, you pick up your children at 8:30 pm.
In Dessyatinnaya Street, 15 minutes from here.
That gives us 10 minutes.
You won't buy cigarettes in Semyonovskaya Street.
What do you want?
You thought you found a nice guy in Paul Lefebvre.
You've bet on the wrong horse, again.
I want to know all his secrets.
As of today,
I want to know everything.
Where he goes, who he sees,
who he calls, who calls him,
all his messages...
Everything.
What I'm asking isn't exceptional.
If your man cheats on you, you search his pockets
and read his text messages,
don't you?
No.
Then I'll make myself clear.
Either you cooperate,
or you'll be accused
of being an accomplice to terrorism.
Your children will end up in an institute.
Do you need me to be even clearer?
I can't hear you.
No.
The next time I come see you,
you'll have things to tell me, right?
Yes.
You're just in time to pick up your children.
One last thing...
If I find out
that you've gone crazy on him
and that he has dumped you...
Don't do it.
Heza!
Come eat with us.
The hospital is being evacuated. It's over.
Kobani is sad today
It is burning Its body, drenched in blood
Kobani is sad today
It is burning Its body, drenched in blood
Tears flow from its eyes
Oh, Kobani
Tears flow from its eyes
Oh, Kobani
Its youth has taken up arms
They have attacked With their guns and bombs
Its youth has taken up arms
They have attacked With their guns and bombs
They have shot bullets Into their chests
Long live the two armed forces
They have shot bullets Into their chests
Long live the two armed forces
Kobani is sad today
It is burning Its body, drenched in blood
Do you need some help?
You cook all day, so...
Don't worry, it's okay.
Too bad we were not able to do it in my kitchen.
But my grandmother couldn't take care of the children tonight.
No problem.
The only thing is that, it might taste awful.
Do you talk to your daughter sometimes?
Not often.
Never?
It's been a while.
Is she mad at you?
Yeah, I guess so.
Come over here.
Don't be.
I put you in trouble.
I'm a big girl.
And I'm not naive.
You have past.
And if I didn't talk to you anything, that's because I don't care.
You don't owe me anything,
no explanations, no excuses.
The only thing I want from you,
that you don't mess up my life.
I trust you.
You have to decide if it's possible or not.
Isn't I already messed up?
This one much I can cope with.
I'm talking about a mess between you and me.
It's much worse.
You're not afraid of him?
I am.
But I refuse all this.
I refuse that kind of stuff.
I've gone through bad things already, and I can't anymore.
No.
Not what?
I can't promise you I won't mess up your life.
We have to stop seeing each other for a while.
Hi.
Hi. You have your passport?
I think so. Why?
The visa guy won't accept a scan.
I need the original.
The visa guy?
Your Russian visa.
You're leaving soon. We have to fast track it.
Through a private agency. I'm sorting the paperwork.
Just get pictures taken, if you don't mind.
Not at all.
- So you're going to Moscow? - Yeah.
We have ten minutes.
He's not ready.
Explain.
Two things still escape him.
How vital it is to "live" his legend,
to have it stuck to his skin...
And he hasn't grasped what it means to be embedded.
He falls into traps like an amateur.
He needs practice.
It doesn't come naturally to anyone.
He could leave any day, right?
Yes.
Well, that's a problem.
Right now, he won't last 24 hours.
We'll reassess before he leaves.
If that's tomorrow, he's not leaving.
Why are you being so negative?
I'm negative too, by the way.
I'm not interested.
All I care about
is making sure he's ready, when the time comes.
Do you realize the risk Malotru took,
calling him under FSB control?
We'll tighten the screws on Cesar. Attack from all sides.
Show up in the dead of night.
He can't feel safe anywhere.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Spit it out.
Is all this to get Guillaume back?
No.
I guess I misunderstood.
I don't think I did.
We're sending the kid into the line of fire.
He'll be well trained.
For Malotru.
Those are our orders.
They suck.
Sorry, family lunch.
He said 3:00 pm, right?
Call him.
No need to be late.
I won't call.
You won't call?
No.
Why is this?
If you threaten the people I love,
then all this doesn't make any sense to me anymore, so...
I quit.
"People I love."
Paul Lefebvre is in love.
So cute.
But Paul Lefebvre knows, he shouldn't fall in love again.
You're the one who makes it difficult, not me.
Sit down.
Don't do this, Paul!
Go fuck yourself.
Send me to jail.
Your girlfriend is clever.
It's Paul. Are you busy?
No.
You helped me escape an endless family meal.
I didn't ask you how you were, last time.
Better.
Physically?
And mentally.
What are you doing in Russia?
I'm working here and there...
Whatever comes my way. I'm surviving.
You're not coming back here?
Not for now.
Why not?
I feel good here.
You mentioned meeting some interesting people?
And brilliant.
In what field?
Artificial Intelligence.
More specifically?
Studying and replicating human behavior with machines.
Offensive or defensive?
It's hard to get into over the phone.
You're serious?
You're playing headhunter for me?
What's really behind all this?
Don't you have anything better to do?
There are few people I'd like to see again.
You miss me?
Maybe...
Forget it. This was a bad idea.
I'm sorry.
What are you doing?
He hung up.
- What are you doing? - Wait.
We'll call back in five minutes.
If he doesn't call back,
it means it was a dead end anyway, okay.
He's really good.
Why are they interested in me?
You're kidding, right?
Are they private sector?
Yes.
Nothing's private in Russia.
Kaspersky is private sector.
Yeah... But I'd still be suspicious.
Look, I get your hesitation.
But I'm calling because it's an incredible opportunity.
And I'd feel less lonely here...
You have nothing to lose.
Come, meet them... and go home.
If you're not interested, end of story.
I'll think about it.
You do that.
Let me know when you're coming. If you come.
Seriously, come.
I doubt I'm wrong about this.
Thanks.
Take care.
Raqqa Syria
Nothing?
Where are the other jihadists?
- They're not all there. - They're coming.
More are coming.
We're gonna wait.
Something's not right.
Where are the foreigners?
Gone.
Nothing yet?
- There are no strangers. - Maybe.
Where are they?
Depends.
Europeans?
Yes.
Damascus.
Damascus?
They weren't not defending that part of the hospital.
They were in the stadium.
We took it already, yesterday.
How come they are in Damascus now?
Don't ask.
What did he say?
I know why we were with the women.
Why?
So he could capture our jihadists.
What for?
To swap them for Kurds in Syrian captivity, I guess.
You think lode 3 is in Damascus?
If he was in Raqqa, then yes. Probably.
His corpse, rather.
Was that hers?
It's time to go.
You okay?
Great!
How do you feel about all this?
It's risky.
Leave us for a sec.
If you're wavering, say so now.
We'll call it off.
That's the procedure.
Don't go unless you're sure.
What about all our work?
It doesn't matter.
What about the mission?
You can change your mind.
It won't be held against you. Just the opposite.
"Just the opposite"?
Believe me, I've been there.
You wanted out?
I was scared.
But no, I didn't want out.
I'm scared too.
You don't backtrack out of fear.
You backtrack because it doesn't feel right.
That's the only reason.
Because the code is poorly written.
Exactly.
If I get caught,
will she be in danger?
For now, she's on stand-by.
She's just a French seismologist, working at Bulgakov.
What am I?
A French agent, selling himself to the Russians.
I'll blow them sky high!
- Listen to me... - Never let your guard down.
You got it.
Now, get lost!
Yes?
You wanted to see me?
No.
But I think I have to.
