Abu Ayman Ramadi?
You speak French?
I learned in Montpellier.
Colonel Darrieu, of the DGSE.
Which directorate?
Intelligence, the Levant desk.
The Levant desk, you say?
That didn't exist in my day.
Only the Iraq desk.
Cybille was your contact.
Cybille, yes.
Was it a woman or a man? I never knew.
Women were rare back then.
What are your areas of intervention?
I can't tell you that.
Did you see combat, up close?
Enough to understand what you're doing.
What am I doing?
Trying to join the winning side while you still can.
You think you'll defeat us?
"Defeat us"?
I expected to hear "defeat them".
That's what I'll say once we have an agreement.
The WAS-catcher says two phones crossed the fiver
13 minutes ago.
That's where Cochise and Socrates are talking.
This is their escort.
These two phones come from Jarabulus.
They're bad guys. Let's warn our men.
Nicolas, I'm listening.
There's action on the river. Two units.
Copy that.
Two phones crossed the river.
Send your cousins to patrol.
Tell them to stay hidden and report back.
Unless Socrates is in trouble. Got it?
I want 1 million euros
and an emergency exfiltration to a European country,
with political asylum.
A new identity and a job as a consultant for a national firm.
And of course, full immunity.
Let's start from the top.
You remain here, in your current position,
and we establish a communication protocol.
You provide intel on whatever subjects interest us.
If you agree, we can discuss five-figure compensation.
Later on, we will exfiltrate you
and basically agree to all your other demands.
I can't stay where I am. It's too dangerous.
You see how careful I have to be.
This is where you're useful.
That's not true.
I can give you all our positions.
All upcoming movement. The morale of the troops.
Who's dead and who's still alive.
An up-to-date organization chart of the general staff.
I'll be very useful, believe me.
But I won't be your mole within ISIS.
Then we'll be going our separate ways.
Unfortunately, not as good friends
These documents have been written
by our caliph, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
They are five days old.
They will interest you.
Can you read Arabic?
How strange that they would send you.
We knew you spoke French.
One is leaving.
One's walking into the forest.
Henri has to get out of there, now.
What about recruitment branches, terrorist attacks...
That's not my field.
But I had access to many things that will interest you, the French.
You must conclude. Men have crossed the river.
How many?
Two. One's coming your way.
I think I know who it is.
- Who? - A paranoid hothead from my side.
I have to leave. He can't see us together.
You're holding a French hostage.
Nothing happens until he's freed.
- I'm not involved with hostages. - Find a way.
Then we're not interested in the rest.
- I'm leaving. - Good.
You'd give up everything I'm offering, just for one hostage?
Not an "average" hostage, I gather.
No hostage is "average".
Get Paul Lefebvre out alive, and we'll get you out.
Immediately after?
Yes.
I'll use the communication channel we discussed.
You leave first.
A bunch of people crossed over.
Where is Socrates?
Not here yet.
Something's up. You, go find Socrates.
You, stay here.
Erwan, let's go get Socrates.
Stay in the building. We're coming to get you.
Roger.
Are you here?
In four minutes.
We'll be there in two minutes.
We'll be there in one minute.
Are you there?
Socrates?
Miran told us to wait for his signal.
He thought you were in danger.
You morons!
Sheikh al-Hadi won't appreciate
armed men coming for him while he's negotiating allegiance.
Let's go.
What about the Emir?
The fight for the conquest of the Sham almost lost 800 men because of him.
He's on his own.
If we leave him here alone, he won't make it.
May God come to his rescue.
He must be hiding somewhere.
Yes?
Socrates?
Hold on, you'll make it.
Raymond's at the hospital with him.
No long faces. He's just wounded.
Raymond said he cracked some jokes.
And asked for a cigar.
He'll be okay.
Baku - Azerbaijan
Institute of Geology and Geophysics
Hello.
I'm Marina Loiseau, the French researcher.
I'm sorry, I was told to come see you about the RLBP.
Come in.
I speak French.
The RLBP...
What is that?
Hello.
It's the permanent broad band network.
In France, it measures tectonic movement.
This is Brahim, our head of security.
We've met.
Getting used to it here?
I am, thanks.
I spent a few weeks at the IPGP.
Did you work with Jerome Pauriol?
Yes.
Secured office, armored glass, high security clearance...
That's what interests the Mossad.
So...
There are 2 very distinct computer networks
inside the Institute.
A classic network,
linked to
the internet.
Phenomene has access to this one.
Like every staff member.
The second network is closed.
Someone told you?
What?
That I suck at technology.
That you have to draw pictures for me.
No one told me.
Because you're gesturing...
like you're talking to a child.
And the diagrams...
It's perfect. Keep it up.
This network is closed
and highly secured.
It's not connected to internet, just like ours.
Only certain people have access to this network.
Like Helena Chohraganli.
Right.
It's the Caspian Sea seismic alert network we discussed.
It's closed, because it is linked
to receivers
that are located in sensitive zones.
Like Iranian nuclear power plants.
Or future plants.
These receivers
are linked to alert systems
within the nuclear plants.
They can command operational closures,
shutdowns
and automated blocking of power plants.
In other words,
from Helena Chohraganli's desk,
it's theoretically possible
to take control of nuclear power plants in Iran...
with a hardcore Trojan horse.
We'd have Iran by the balls.
And the Mossad's balls too, while they're holding Iran's.
Exactly.
See, who needs a diagram?
Incidentally, a virus that could sabotage
Iran's nuclear program, remotely from Baku...
We'd sure like to see that!
Good. 6 pm in my office?
To discuss the hardcore Trojan horse.
Good luck with that.
You go ahead.
Not coming?
How's it going?
I just saw MAG with Henri's wife.
You're a Syria analyst and your boyfriend is on the field.
Don't pretend you don't know what's up.
- Are you cleared to know? - Of course.
He's wounded.
Is it serious?
They're finding out.
A stupid accident?
An altercation on location?
That's all I can say.
Is he conscious?
At the hospital? Is Raymond there?
Maybe you should talk to the Director of Intelligence.
Marie-Jeanne!
From what I know, he'll be okay.
They're prepping the hospital here.
So, he can be transported?
Yes.
Thanks.
This is Joshua.
My pleasure.
Joshua will ensure your safety from now on.
I understand you've received threats.
Who told you?
The French.
If I were a man, would you do the same?
A man would have received threats sooner.
Then, this is good news.
If I'm being threatened, I'm being taken seriously.
Any progress with Haytham Bidjidi?
I'm seeing him later.
Yet another one who's not fond of you.
Hello Mr. Bidjidi.
- How are you? - Fine.
Ms. el-Mansour is expecting you.
I'll have to search you, sir.
I was searched coming in.
I know, sir.
Jarabulus will never fall into Kurdish hands.
But the Kurds will soon take the city.
They're six kilometers away.
By land. Others are even closer by air.
Why would you claim Jarabulus?
The Free Syrian Army won't claim Jarabulus.
But we'll never leave it to the Kurds.
Why not?
Because if the Kurds take it,
they can reunite the two regions they already have,
and will be able to create their autonomous province.
And that will never happen.
The Turks won't allow it.
Absolutely.
What's the link between the Turks and the FSA?
Nadia, I came to tell you
that I won't participate in your bilateral meetings.
I won't speak for the Free Syrian Army.
You talk to people we refuse to talk to.
The Kurds and Bashar el-Assad's envoys.
You've always tried to charm everyone,
like a slippery snake
that no one can ever catch.
And it's not for lack of trying.
There's candy in the armrest.
No thank you.
- I'm going with you. - I want to go alone.
I have orders.
Hello, Nadia.
Thank you.
This is the first time I've been out of my hole.
Thanks to you.
They told me...
if you are satisfied with me,
I can see my wife and two sons.
Am I the one who decides if I'm satisfied?
Yes.
What do you want?
I need some information.
I want you to tell me about Haytham Bidjidi.
Haytham Bidjidi is the FSA's representative.
What are you looking for?
You have files on everyone.
You must have one on him,
when he was the opposition leader in exile.
What can I leverage to make him do something?
That depends. Is it something he won't do?
I wouldn't need you if he weren't.
You won't have to hurt him or threaten him.
How ironic to hear that from you.
You can earn his gratefulness.
Look,
whatever it takes,
I need him to give in.
You've changed.
Before leaving Syria,
Haytham sent his family to safety, in England.
But he still had one family member in Syria.
An illegitimate son, who disappeared.
Haytham never speaks of him.
But he's been searching for him for years.
If we had found him, we could have pressured his father.
If you and your DGSE friends find him,
you'll have Haytham eating out of your hand.
I'm done.
Are you satisfied?
Nadia! Are you satisfied?
What is that?
A sushi burger.
- Part sushi, part hamburger... - I get it.
- I read Phenomene's file. - And?
You forgot to tell me about her issues.
Her panic attacks.
It's been sorted.
Are you sure?
I'm not sure you realize what we're doing here.
Israel delayed Iran's nuclear program once before
using a cyberattack. This was before the treaty.
They're currently preparing a new assault.
This means Marina is involved in an operation
that's crucial to Israel today.
And also very sensitive.
Israel won't risk its pawn slipping up.
One false move
and it's game over.
Now that I've read her file,
I'm on the verge of a panic attack myself.
I doubt that.
Baku - Azerbaijan
Room service.
Thank you.
It smells good.
Excuse me.
It smells good.
I hope you enjoy it.
I overslept.
I thought so.
I'm going to be so late for work.
It won't look good.
Won't it? You know why I couldn't sleep?
Because I have a noisy neighbor.
Did you have a good time?
While I'm stressing out, you're enjoying the best of Baku.
- Sorry, I tried my best... - I noticed.
To get her to be quiet.
Try someone less expressive next time.
This could be useful.
You didn't pick it up after your interview the other day.
Thank you.
Did you like Iran?
I did.
I hope you'll like it here too.
My mother is Iranian. My father is Russian.
I lived in Tehran for a bit.
I even did security training over there.
You probably had some troubles over there.
Troubles?
Administrative ones.
Not really.
Not really...
Then you were very lucky.
They're much more paranoid than us.
Goodbye, Ms. Loiseau.
Marina?
You activated the emergency protocol?
- Yes. - What's wrong?
I have a question.
When I was arrested last year with Shapur Zamani
and let go, did the French embassy know about it?
Yes.
They're alerted whenever a French national is arrested.
They didn't intervene?
Why would they?
Because it's normal procedure!
They should have inquired. It's not normal that they didn't.
It's suspicious.
Please find out
if they followed normal procedure or were asked to stay away.
You have reason to worry?
I don't know.
The Institute's head of security is Iranian.
He keeps alluding to my so-called administrative troubles.
I understand.
I'll check on the embassy.
But I think they followed standard procedure
regarding a French national.
We certainly gave them no instructions.
- Please check. - I will.
Thanks.
She's panicking.
- The security guy... - Jamal Brahim?
Iranian mother. No ties to the secret service.
Guys like him are trained to unsettle the staff
and make them fear authority.
He found the right words.
Call her back.
- At the phone booth? - I want to talk to her.
I'll call her room, pretending to be room service.
- When? - 15 minutes.
She'll be back by then.
Where were you off to?
Makhachkala, I think.
Ever been to Dagestan?
You'd be in for a shock!
Sorry, I panicked and chose the first bus that showed up.
Why?
I don't know...
The Institute's security guy is Iranian.
So what?
I have to tell you something.
Talk to me.
I had a run-in with the police in Iran. I was really scared.
You did?
I hung outwith this guy in Iran. Tehran's gilded youth.
He was rich. He threw parties and took drugs.
He was arrested,
and the conservatives accused him of espionage
to get rid of him.
My knowing him caused me some problems.
How did it end?
They let me go, in the end.
But I was really scared.
I came home earlier than planned.
Now I understand better.
Why didn't you tell me?
I guess I didn't want to think about it.
But with this Iranian stalking me...
Don't you trust me?
I do.
Can we be less formal now?
Let's go.
The DGSE has great stress management experts.
You mean call girls?
BY Whom?
People you don't know.
Go ahead.
When war broke out, your son Idris joined the rebels.
I know.
And like many young people,
he wanted to fight.
He joined Al-Nusra.
According to my sources,
he was seen a few days ago, in the Hama province.
Safe and sound.
I thought you'd want to know he's alive and well.
Thank you.
Who do you want me to talk to?
The Syrian democratic forces.
The Kurds, I imagine.
Why not?
It will be difficult in the coming days.
But...
Okay.
Ms. Anselem will join you shortly.
- I thought I was meeting Ms. Anselem. - Today, that's me.
Did your meeting with Nadim el-Bachir go well?
Did you get what you needed?
I'd like to consult with Nadim on a regular basis.
That will be difficult.
What for?
The mission I've been given is doomed to fail.
You know that.
My real purpose is to allow Amir Mamoun to say
he tried to talk to everyone and it didn't work.
He uses me to clear his conscience.
Nonetheless, I was hired to do this job,
and I'd like to accomplish something.
I want people to use my office as a place
they can say things they won't say elsewhere.
For that, I need support.
And Intelligence.
Nadim el-Bachir can provide useful intel.
What's in it for us?
I learn things at work.
Things I can share with you.
What can you tell us that we don't already know?
The Turks will attack Jarabulus before the Kurds.
Did you already know that?
Haytham Bidjidi told me.
The Syrian rebels will help the Turks take Jarabulus.
Specifically to prevent the Kurds from doing it.
I'll ask about Nadim el-Bachir.
It should be okay.
What time is the train?
10.00 pm.
You like Japanese food?
Or Korean food?
Japanese,fine.
I'm not going to lie. It hurts.
I won't take pills because they knock me out.
I'm slow enough as it is...
I'm joking.
Since I've been hospitalized in Istanbul,
I've been in a total daze. Can't you tell?
I can.
But you're still in pain?
It's no worse than bad indigestion.
I'll be fine.
I'll be home soon.
How is Phenomene?
She's okay.
Speaking of which, you need to explain some things to me.
- You're going to give me hell? - Yes.
Good. Being told off at means I'm alive
and in good health.
No one yells at the dead or the wounded.
You're going to get your share.
That bad?
You'll see.
Don't worry, I'm on top of it.
Don't worry about anything.
You're on top of it.
You like the job?
Is it hard?
Henri...
you scared us.
I know.
I'm not kidding.
It was stupid.
I know, I know.
But... it was worth it. Believe me.
It was worth it?
Hell, yeah!
Move ahead, move ahead!
Never retreat. Never surrender.
Move ahead, move ahead!
Undefeated warrior, with your sword in hand,
kill them!
Kill the Devil's soldiers, without hesitation.
Who do you think you are?
Was the prisoner entrusted to you?
Who could possibly make such a mistake?
What?
You think Allah gave you a toy?
He's an escaped infidel. We caught him and he has to pay...
You know how much he is worth?
A lot of money, Inch 'Allah.
You think we can afford to squander him
and throw the State's money down a well?
I'm taking him with me.
But...
my fighters will ask for their share.
What do you mean?
We've taken care of the hostage for months.
My men were promised compensation.
You want money?
Not for you, for your men?
I took the liberty because, as you say,
the hostage is a spoil of war.
Praised be God.
You have asked with great honesty.
I respect this.
Did you take a medevacked too?
Are there nurses on board?
You know, me and nurses...
That's true.
Does it hurt?
A few phantom pains.
So it's not a myth?
Absolutely not. Your amputated limb hurts.
The missing part.
That's crazy.
Your brain doesn't understand the limb's gone.
The spinal cord sends faulty signals.
Another fuckover.
All good?
It's crazy...
Raymond...
It's crazy...
Are you there yet?
Where?
At the airfield?
We're on our way.
Let us know when you take off.
Everything okay?
Is Celine there?
You want to talk to her?
Can you put the speaker on?
Henri, in four hours, I'll be there to give you hell.
Me too.
You just want to bitch at Raymond.
Henri, can you hear me?
They can't hear me...
Raymond!
Can you hear me?
Yeah.
Henri...
He's tired.
But he's okay?
He'll be okay.
What's going on?
I don't know.
Don't try to wind me up.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure he'll be okay.
