Dad?

He makes me come over
and he's not even here.

"My darling Prune.
I had to go away again.

"I'm sad to have to tell you this way,

to have to leave you, just when
we were getting close again,

"after such a long separation.

"You didn't even seem
mad at me anymore. "

No way!

The number you've dialed
is not in service.

Shit...

"I don't how long I'll be gone.

"It might be a while.

"You can't reach me.
No one can tell you where I am.

"They'll question you about me.

"They'll say things.

"These people are very smart.

"You won't be able to lie to them,
even if you want to.

"So don't try."

Hi, this is Prune Debailly.

- You said I could call you.
- Yes?

I think my dad is gone.

But I don't know where.
I don't understand what's happening.

Can you come over?

- He didn't tell you?
- He left a note.

- A long, strange note.
- Where are you?

I'm at his place.

- Don't move, I'm on my way.
- OK. Thank you.

"Prune, read this notebook now,

"while you're still the only one
who has it.

"You'll have to hand it over.

"Don't hide it.
Don't throw it away.

"I won't give away any secrets,
but I'll tell you why I've gone. "

A few days earlier

"Marina Loiseau, a French national,

"a seismologist
working at the ISR in Tehran,

"was arrested for sharing intelligence

"with the CIA."

- What's going on?
- Now's not the time.

- Are you kidding me?
- No.

- I can't know what's happening?
- No.

- Can Clément Migaud?
- No.

I can't sit still.

I understand.

I have a theory.

It involves Guillaume.

Me too.

But this isn't the time to discuss it.

- Why?
- No one will listen to us.

Be careful, Marie-Jeanne.

We're heading into the storm.

There will be lots of turbulence.

You'll think you're falling,
but we won't fall.

Do not panic.

Others have panicked.
You, stay calm.

We'll land safely in the end.

- You believe that?
- I do.

- What should I expect?
- People playing dirty.

But I'm telling you, when it's over,
we'll make it to the hangar.

Please drop the flying metaphor.

OK.

Gentlemen...

Hi, how do you do.
Are you OK Ben.

Hello.

Colonel...

Well, let me remind you that the Iranians
hold French citizen Marina Loiseau prisoner.

We have almost no information about her situation

The only thing we know is that she
is charged with spying for the CIA.

I'm here to answer all your questions.

Fine, but needless to say that the explanations

we have so long received from you
are not satisfactory.

Right.

You have my solemn assurance that this young lady

is in no way connected with any of our agencies

CIA or anybody else.

We regard this as a case of collateral damage.

As a result of an internal struggle between
the moderates and the hardliners of the regime.

She was obviously at the wrong place
at the wrong time.

When the conservatives exploit tensions,
they need scapegoats every now and then.

But why a French researcher?

Well, if it had been an American or an Israeli
researcher they would have been delighted.

But they use what they had to hand.

You're telling me that the Iranian charges
are based on nothing, aren't you?

It's the Iranian way, we're used to it.

In concrete terms, I'm here to tell you

we wish to share our experience with you,
as well as our means.

Unfortunately in this type of case there's a long history

between the Iranians and us.

As things were not resolved,

unofficially, in the first few days,
we now enter what's called a long run.

We know from experience that we need
to give maximum publicity to the case

and we're going to keep the Iranians on the defensive.
This tends to also protects the hostage.

When this is done we need to find the
right go-between to talk to the Iranians.

So, let's play fair.

What we think over here is that your
role in this affair is not very clear.

And whatever you did, it turned out badly.

If we are right, just say so.

And let's said that between professionals,
before things get really bad.

In other words, this case can get
dangerous and political, then

there's nothing we can do.
Remember what happened with the Germans?

When it was made public they
had a mole within there services?

I guess nobody on this table wants to re-live such a situation.

Well thank you for being so straightforward.

I'll be straightforward too and ask you a question.

Go ahead.

Does Marina Loiseau work, or has she
ever worked, for the French government?

I don't get it.

You mean you came all the way from
Washington, just to tell us that?

I don't understand, to tell you what?

To go fuck ourselves.

Do you know why I asked them to stay?

Because you're a woman.

And I am a man.

If I were alone here with you,

it would be playing with fire.

Don't make me send them away.

Can I call my embassy?

- Which embassy?
- The French one.

- You're French?
- Yes.

Why do you work for the Americans?

I don't work for them!
Why do you think that?

I work at the seismology institute.

Here are all your conversations,
since you came to Iran.

Phone, email, messages...

The VEVAK knows everything about you.
Everything.

Here.

Start making a list
of the targets you worked on.

My job is
to conduct seismological research.

Don't mess around.

Write down the names.

Change of strategy.

You know Shapur Zamani?

Yes.

- He was your target?
- No, he's a friend.

Look where your friend is now.

Bring him in.

He wasn't expecting this.

He thought he'd get away with it,
once again.

As if you could betray your country
with impunity.

Now...

One of two things can happen.

Either we send him back to the expert
who's already worked on him.

Or you can spare him
unnecessary suffering.

You choose.

Pick up the pen for your friend.

Not you!

Him!

There.

He did his part.

Now,

you do yours.

You only have to write

the name of your targets.
That's it.

I'm a researcher.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'll let you say goodbye to your friend.

2 circles surround you.

The first is friends.
The second is targets.

Those 2 circles can never meet.

Friends remain friends.
Targets are not friends.

What does that mean?

That you can destroy their life,
without a problem.

You don't care about them.

You don't pity them.

I'll alert the French embassy.

Surely they can do something...

like alert a human rights NGO,

and the media...

Or find a lawyer.

There must be a way!

Bitch!

Forget the idea of a trial.

When American bombs kill children,

there's no trial.

There's never a trial for Muslims.

The justice of the impure
is the greatest injustice.

You'll be judged
by the pure and just values of Islam.

The American spy
will be executed in one week.

If the Americans don't retaliate
within the week

from their Turkish air bases,

the spy will live one more week.

I know all your resources are mobilized.

After the failed first mission,

you're redoubling your efforts
to neutralize Chevalier.

This is a difficult, challenging war.

But communication warfare is key.

We must hit hard
in terms of communication.

Where are we with the 2nd mission?

Mr. President,
we should be ready in a week.

As you know, it's being handled
by a very discreet, independent team,

headed by Guillaume Debailly,

our agent who organized the release
of our hostage in the Sahel.

An estimated success rate?

40%, Mr. President.

Gentlemen, I thank you for this update.

Jacques will give you
our formal position on Marina Loiseau...

Phénomène's papers are fine.
I double-checked.

I can find all the websites
she signed onto.

I've already done it.

So all's good on our end.
Nothing can betray her.

What's the vibe at Mortier?

Way too calm.

A US delegation
visited the director.

Everyone was pissed off.

She'll hold up.

She just has to keep trusting your work.

They'll be looking for areas of doubt
and mistakes.

I'll leave you to it.

I did as you asked.

Here is Schnabel's phone.

That one belongs to Fatiq,
the cameraman.

The GPS located them in Raqqa.

Schnabel's calling someone.

You.

- Andreas?
- This isn't looking good.

What's happening?

We're stuck in Raqqa with no news.
And I'm out of cigarettes.

What can I do?

You can't do anything.

I just want you to know
this interview isn't going to happen.

It's normal for it to take time,
isn't it?

Nothing's normal here.

Only instinct counts.

And my instinct says
something's not right.

There was a big offensive
against the Peshmerga.

It must have upset communications
and road travel.

That's probably why
you have no news.

Thanks for the news.
But I'm not waiting in Raqqa forever.

He hung up on me.

Can he be serious?

Maybe.

Maybe he just wants to scare us.

To reassure us and remind us
how valuable he is.

There's movement.

It's Schnabel.
He's leaving the building.

Alone.

I'll call back.

You sure?

Yes.

I want to apologize.

Only you can judge
the risk you're facing.

Damn right.

Are you in the street?

- There's lots of noise.
- Yes, I'm in the street. So what?

I have something else to tell you.

If you prefer to back out,
we have an alternative.

What are you talking about?

A freelance Palestinian journalist
offered his services.

Who?

I bet it's Isham Eisheh.

Yes.

He's a fixer

who markets himself
as a journalist.

He's useless, he does shit work.
I'm the only one who can do this.

I know that.
That's why I wanted you.

Because you're the best.

I just wanted you to be aware.

OK. I'm off to buy cigarettes.

Goodbye.

What happens if he gets arrested
with cigarettes?

That depends.

If he's lucky, he'll just be fined.

If not?

Whipped.

I'm going to the restroom.

He's going to film himself.

What's he saying?

It's his will.

All the Al- Qaeda martyrs do it.

It's later used as propaganda,

to encourage others.

What's he doing?

He's calling his mother.

Mother isn't there?

No.

Oh, OK.

Is something wrong?

No, everything's fine.

Tell her not to worry,

tell her I'm fine.
And that I love her.

I'll be home soon, inch Allah.

He's backing out.

He's erasing the video.

He's deleting the erased videos.

I have to talk to Imam Hashmi.

He's the only one who can fix this.

Get me a secure link to Libya.

So, this article

was written by this Shariatmari guy.

Shariatmadari.

He's the editor-in-chief.

The Iranian secret service
uses his paper as a relay.

He revealed Rohani's son-in-law's
smuggling activities.

Get to the point.

In his article,

he reviews the Zamani case.

Giving very precise details

that must come from someone
close to the case.

He couldn't have made them up.

It's all here.

A detailed account
of Zamani's recruitment.

Here's a quick translation.

- He was recruited in Qatar?
- Not only there.

In Doha, at the water conference,

the one I was at.

Look what they offered him.

A job with Westinghouse
in the Middle East.

Isn't that what you planned to do?

We were using Areva.
Otherwise, it's identical.

They recruited Zamani
using the same idea as us.

Same idea, same place and time.

As if they had access
to the file sent by Marina.

Who knows about this?

No one but you.

And MAG, of course.

Thank you.

Excuse me, Mr. Duflot.

The Director would like
to see you downstairs.

He's on his way to meet you.

Really?

Did you read Clément's note?

I don't believe
in the theory of a technical leak.

The TD agrees.

Someone gave our recruitment file
to the Americans.

It's plausible.

This confirms what I've been saying:

The Americans have a mole in our walls.

Since Operation Felice,
and possibly before that.

I agree with you.

You know of his ties
with Nadia El-Mansour,

released with the help
of a CIA-funded organization.

Right afterwards, the CIA recruits
our target under our noses,

using our recruitment strategy.

You could call that a deal.

He pushed excessively for Shapur Zamani,

to the point of ignoring my instructions.

And his phone was untraceable,
for 2 days last year,

a feat which requires special technology

that we didn't provide him with.

An exceptional agent,

intelligent, valuable,

who sacrificed his personal life
for his mission.

He has no history with the Americans,
but a good reason to talk to them.

That sums it up.

You feared for your brother-in-law,
during Operation Felice.

You had an interest
in it being cancelled.

So you had reason
to talk to the Americans.

I'm the one who insisted
on reopening the case.

A smokescreen, perhaps.

A red herring.

Peter Cassidy, from the CIA,
who came to see you.

An old acquaintance, wasn't he?

Yes.

You have a history with the Americans.

Let's get something straight.

I don't suspect you.

But your file is the weaker of the two.

If I arrest him, I have to arrest you.

What do I do?

Arrest me.

That's not what you want.

No, but...

Debailly is untouchable.

We're under enormous pressure,
over the mission he's running.

We're going to push the CIA
to reveal the name of the mole.

If it's Debailly, he's screwed.

If they give up someone else,
he'll continue his mission.

I want us to have that chance.
So do you.

After it's over,
we can rid the Bureau of the mole.

- My badge isn't working.
- It is now.

Whenever you're ready.

Let's go.

Imam Hasmi?

Yes?

There's a problem
with the wire transfer.

- What problem?
- It won't be sent.

- Why not?
- You know why.

Fatiq has disappointed me too,

but we had a deal.

You were supposed to provide
a reliable candidate.

The human factor always implies risk.

I can't control that.

A successful outcome was in my interest,
as much as yours.

Then find a solution.

I can't see one.

It can't be done over the phone.

He would have to be spoken to,
in person.

Do it.

You want me to go to Raqqa?
You must be joking.

OK, we'll handle that part.

I need a hand-written note from you,

identifying the bearer
as your personal envoy.

You'll soon receive
further instructions.

And our agreement?

Once we have your note in hand.

Then I'll do what's necessary.

I'll go.

What?

Someone has to talk to Fatiq.

What is the safest place for me,
near Raqqa?

Turkish Kurdistan,
controlled by the Peshmerga.

Fine.

I'll go as Paul Lefebvre,
in 30 hours or so.

The Imam will tell Fatiq
he has to meet me there.

Can you prepare my itinerary and papers?

Alert the Istanbul desk.

It's dangerous.

Is that what I tell MAG,
once the mission's failed?

Whether we fail or succeed,

the company must be able
to deny any involvement.

We have to protect it.

No one can know that an agent
was in contact with the bomber.

I'll go,

I'll convince him,

and I'll come back.

No one,

and I mean, no one outside of this room,
can know.

Understood?

Understood?

Ticket to Istanbul

"If they say I committed suicide,
it's a lie.

"They'll show you proof.

"Maybe they'll show you
a letter from me.

"Don't believe it.

"I won't commit suicide.

What is it?

This wasn't meant for me.

What do you mean?

You read it?

No, I can't.

You should.

No.

Yes.

I don't care.

Read it now!

It'll be taken away
and you'll never see it again.

OK?

Mr. Duflot?

"I'm leaving because,
contrary to what you'll be told,

"I believe in my work.

"I believe in my missions.

"Although I've made mistakes
I can't clean up,

"there are some things I can do right."

I brought something for you.

You want a piece?

Let's get started.

Why did you come to Iran?

I was invited to work
at Tehran's geophysical institute,

for Mr. Reza Mortazavi.

- Where did you study?
- Polytechnique, in Paris.

Never heard of it.

- What is it?
- An engineering school.

It's very prestigious, in France.
You can work anywhere afterwards.

Why choose seismology?

It happened by chance.
An internship.

I discovered seismology
and found it fascinating.

I devoured Richter's biography

and realized it was what I wanted to do.

Richter...

The great Mexican seismologist?

The Richter scale.
That's him, right?

He wasn't Mexican.
He was American.

Oh yes, that's right.

How did you get into
the Institut du Globe in Paris?

I sent an application to the Director.

Mrs. Weiber?

No, Mrs. Lebarbier.

Mrs. Weiber replaced her 2 months ago.

OK...

Let's talk about your childhood.

You were born on May 14, 1987,
in Bayonne.

- Your family's from there?
- Yes.

Where did you live?

In the Saint-Esprit quarter,
near the arena.

Lachepaillet.

You know Bayonne?

It's a big bullfighting city.

Ever been to a bullfight?

I don't like it.

I'd like to see one.

I like the idea that the bull is both
an opponent and a partner.

But the bull always dies in the end.

Of course.

It's inevitable.

But it's a noble death.

So, Bayonne.

- The street you were born in?
- Delphin Allard.

Delphin Allard...

Parallel to Avenue...

Des Arénes?

No, perpendicular.

Do you ever go back?

No, I have no reason to.

You could have family in the area.

Your mother, your grandmother?

No.

Silly of me!
Your grandmother's dead.

That's why you went back.

Yes.

Was it your paternal
or maternal grandmother?

Answer me.

I never knew my paternal grandmother.

My mother's mother.

I have the death certificates

for both your grandmothers.

Neither one died in 2015.

So, you lied?

Your CIA friends were sloppy.

Sometimes, an interrogator...

It's like bullfighting.

There are the passes,

the dance,

and the rhetoric.

Then comes the death blow.

You may not know this,

but I specialize in interrogating
Mossad agents.

Those agents...

it's pointless to torture them.

They'll never say anything.

One just has to be stronger than them.

They have the answer to every question,
like you.

- We don't analyze the answers...
- My grandmother just died.

She died of lymphoma, like my father.

Your documents are wrong.

Call the Cochin hospital in Paris.
They'll tell you.

You must place great trust
in your CIA friends.

You know this Peter Cassidy?

Officially,
he's in charge of "special" affairs.

And unofficially?

We think he runs whatever
the Americans do on our soil.

- If he's here, it's a sign.
- Of what?

That they're worried.

We totally disagree with this report's conclusion.

There's nothing in here but intellectual hypothesis.
It's got nothing to do with reality.

So what is reality in your opinion?

We're just like you.

We have plenty of questions to which
we don't have all the answers yet.

From our point of view reality is quite simple.

First you recruited Shapur Zamani from a file we put together

and you must clarify how you got our file.

That is just not true and we protest that...

Second, the way you managed this source was simply disastrous.

In less than two months you definitely ruined it.

That caused Marina Loiseau's arrest.

So, where we are, you keep on denying what is obvious.

Well, I would love to hear about
miss Loiseau's real activities.

She is a seismic engineer.

If you want to exchange some undercover
agent's names, let us know.

We'll think it over.

There comes a time when you have
to take responsibility for your actions.

For everybody's sake.

Well, thank you for your honesty.

What we have to do now is determine what we can do.

We have a proposal that I think
will help move things forward.

The man is Jose Amitbar.

He's a major secret from anzero of Al Koud.

The armed group

Jose Amitbar was arrested in Turkey.

We've been detaining him since 2009.

The Iranians would pay a fortune to get him back.

Plus we could do with a little something to help them.

Provided the mullahs show
clemency towards Marina Loiseau.

That poor harmless French researcher

that was so wrongfully arrested.

No

That's not enough.

It's a very good offer that costs us a lot.

Let me tell you why your offer is not acceptable mr. Barry.

Curing the problem is not about treating the symptom,

but eradicating the disease.

Meaning?

Meaning identifying the source
that works for you within our service.

We do not recruit under our allies.

It's against our principle.

Then tell us who gave you Zamani's file.

OK.

I'll be honest with you.

Yes, we do monitor your technical intelligence.

But never your human.

Mr. Barry, why take the risk of being contradicted by reality?

You have more, we need a name.

And no one here gets out of
the room until you give it to us.

Let's just say that in the past things have gone out of control.

But that's not the case nowadays
and it would go against our interest.

You know the French website Mediapart?

Believe me...

there is some information you surely want to see there.

You bombed Islamic rebels on February the 10th near Aleppo.

Useless, for Daesh is not active in this area.

A few days later the same Syrian regime was

releasing Nadia El Mansour

through an NGO you are financing.

A lot of people would be very interested
to know that the US Secretary of State

is dealing with Bashir El-Assad.

We too have files.

We too have shit-stirring media.

That's exactly what I mean.

Do you really long to start that kind of fuss?

Do you think this is what your president needs right now?

And again believe me....

US go home is still a popular and
politically powerful motto over here.

Do MI-5 and MI-6 know you've tapped their prime minister?

We need to take a break.

I think we all need to pull ourselves together.

As usual you do things your way John.

You always have.

I told you they'd slow down, but then they wouldn't listen.

I'm tired of cleaning up your mess.

You used to enjoy it.

Not anymore.

Yeah, and what have they got in their files anyway?

I don't know.

But in this case I don't wanna take any chances.

Unbelievable, no soap?

They're putting us under pressure.

We just have to lay low, do nothing.

We'll just give them a few things,
but if we give them the whole truth,

right now, it'll be much more costly.

They'll never go away.

At the moment they don't have any evidence
for what they say, but they will have.

And when they do, it 'll cost us dear.

It 'll cost the agency dear, but more than that,

it 'll cost the three of us.

I wonder if we'll ever forgive you
for what you've forced us to do.

What's this?

Why aren't I being tried?

Where is my lawyer?

"In light of the seriousness
of the charges

"and the need
to swiftly repair the affront

brought against the Iranian people,

"the defendant has been sentenced
by presidential order,

"without further ado."

100 years' imprisonment

You've threatened us in a most unusual way.

With regard to our agency's good relationship rules.

So be it.

We're ready to give you some information.

Go on, we are listening.

Big name.

Guillaume Debailly.

Isn't he here?

"You know your father
a little better now.

"I don't know what good that does you.

"Whether it does good or bad.

"But I know I wouldn't want
to be in the dark,

"feeling that others knew
more about my father than me.

"So I'm telling you what I can.

"I'll be taking the image
of your scowling face with me,

"that sulking face that I love.

"When I want, I can snap my fingers

"and your beautiful smile
will light it up.

"Then I'll be able to face
whatever ordeals lie ahead. "

"Your father who loves you."
