Original subtitles

...not even your wife who I am.

The next plane to the Emirates.

Canadian Secret Service. I have to act as their informant.

Leave the Chadlis to me.

The dissidents are trouble-makers working for your enemies.

We just suggest you look the other way.

Our best interests coincide with those of the Shammarians.

I will study the issue.

They'll send someone in a few days.

- Who? - Valérie Kasher. I trust her.

A contract between her and the CIA.

Her office is under surveillance.

We'll pick her up when she collects her girls.

Thomassin wants to arrest me. I have to flee.

- Who's he? - We've been screwed.

- Rachel knows. - But the surveillance...

- I'll come back to you, I promise.

We finally found you and we have a surprise.

She killed a guy on your team. Robert Galois.

Your backstabbing wife!

Emile! That's enough.

The kids, Jacques? What were you thinking?

- Ms Bartoli... - She's going overboard!

You still work for me.

Release them all with apologies.

- Mr McKenna! - With apologies!

Emile...

Go on. It's fine.

They're all under surveillance?

Yes, Sir.

I misjudged him. I didn't know he'd be so violent.

You were right. It was the right trigger to destabilise him.

Rachel. Welcome to the chalet.

The director sends his regards.

I'm sorry for the hood. Overcautious.

I thought we'd go to your headquarters in Langley?

But you are too precious. We don't want to expose you too quickly.

And we have so much to talk about, you and.

It'll give me an opportunity to practice my French.

Is this your dowry?

I'll look at it carefully.

Very carefully.

CLASSIFIED

Okay.

Head upstairs and get ready.

Pyjamas, toilet, teeth.

Tonight, if you want, you can sleep with me in the big bed.

All right?

For you and the girls

behind the back wall under the stairs.

We had to Change networks and chat rooms.

- They're panicking. - Okay, I'll have a look.

You'll do nothing. No one cares what happens to political dissidents.

I said, I'll have a look.

I don't have good news.

You really have to confirm who in your network is preparing a big attack.

I just told you. No one is! I swear.

We have high tech Installations elsewhere,

but I thought it'd be cosier here.

We'll start tomorrow morning.

My love, If you are reading this,

It means that our world has collapsed.

It was not my intention, nor my wish.

Our careers force us to keep so many secrets.

Here ls one of mine.

Before you, nobody mattered to me.

And after you, no one will matter anymore.

I want Mum.

She's on a business trip.

Who were those people? Why did they do that to us?

One of them said Mum fled.

- That she's a criminal. - No, they were lying.

Mum will call me, won't she?

She always calls to say good night when she's not here.

I'll be back.

Dad...?

Azure, I'm not going anywhere. Wait for me here, okay?

- Yes? - Good evening, Mr Darcy.

I'm Valerie from housekeeping.

- I'm here to give you a hand. - Who told you to come?

Your wife said to tell you, “Orion, pizza, gargantua”.

You saw?

- You're ambidextrous? - I'm a lot of things.

Two duos In cars, one down the street and a more discreet one further back.

Surveillance team on the second floor of the house opposite

and a tactical team In a van out the back.

Operations or protection?

Operations, but the request is no longer valid.

I don't care about your issues with the service.

Mr McKenna reauthorised my mission. My job Is to protect your girls.

- The guest room is downstairs? - Why did Rachel choose you?

We know each other... from another life.

I'll introduce you to the girls.

- Do I keep the weapons? - Oh, yeah.

The Americans won't brag that they've hired one of our top executives.

Very good.

Emile is here. Leave us be.

Until I have direct orders to suspend you,

you will continue to do your job.

I need you for the Grenade operation.

We must prevent another shooting, or worse.

What does your informant say?

Grenade swears it's not the Shammar dissidents who live here.

You believe him?

I don't trust anyone anymore.

But I'm starting to think there's another player on the ice.

Grenade gave us more information that has been verified.

Six Shammar dissidents died in Canada last week, two in Montreal.

All suspicious deaths. Hit and run, hanging.

Someone is cleaning up.

This explains it.

- I don't understand. - Your instinct was correct.

I'm under pressure to let the Shammar security services

continue their efforts to gag the dissidents here.

It looks like someone took for granted that I'd say yes.

They're the other player on the ice.

Emile.

If Rachel contacts you, I want to know.

If you'll excuse me, I have to inform a woman that she's now a widow.

Yes?

- Azure? - What?

- I'm scared. - Chill.

Valerie is here, you saw, she has two guns like Dad.

She's the one who scares me.

I'm here. Don't act like a baby.

I want Mum.

You'll have to be strong.

Whose fault is it, Emile? What happened?

May peace be with you.

And with you too.

We know each other?

No, I don't think so.

Oh, yes. Bilal Chadli, 19 years old.

You didn't finish high school.

You volunteer at the support centre.

You take lessons at the mosque.

And you respect true faith,

unlike your rebellious dad and your faithless mum.

I know you want to emigrate to Shammar.

Return to the land of your ancestors.

I can help you.

Hey, boss.

Is it true? About Robert?

Bob was my best mate, since forever.

We started here at the same time.

If he was here, he'd say, “We all have shit to monitor,

“Information to gather and bosses to annoy.'

We can cry about his death at the bar after his funeral.

Find Irene.

We have messages to send. I'll be back.

Why did you help Rachel flee?

I assumed a foreign service was abducting her.

Complicit in espionage.

Interference in a national enquiry.

- You'll get 10 years for this. - Amateur.

- You're not asking the right questions. - And what would they be?

Hello, Adrien.

Go play somewhere else.

The next conversation is for adults only.

You look tired.

Worn out would be more accurate.

They must be laughing at Langley.

Oh, the CIA won't display her just yet.

They will start by pressuring her.

And they"ll do it in a discreet location, certainly not in Langley.

In my days, there was a rumour about a chalet in Vermont

that they used for these things.

A shit hole. It must be in the archives.

Did you hear Thomassin?

Or do you want me to repeat it?

Rachel would never betray us for another government.

Not for money, not for her ego,

not as an ideology, and certainly not under threat.

But who's winning in all of this?

Who benefits from her fall from grace?

Will you bring her back or do I have to?

What medication do you take to manage your PTSD?

Serotonin reuptake inhibitors?

Cyclic medication.

You understand that everything will be on the table?

You'll have to answer all my questions.

I'll have to shake you a bit.

Dig deep.

I've been In your seat many times.

I will be as delicate as I can.

I came as soon as I could.

Thanks. I didn't know who to call, Irene isn't answering.

- What's happening? - It's not like her at all.

She stayed overnight two days ago. When I woke up, she was gone.

Irene is on the ice. Undercover.

- Nothing dangerous but it's complicated. - I have a bad feeling.

She left this here.

Her wallet, her cards, everything.

She can’t take anything that could blow her cover.

You don't understand.

It's your godson's birthday today.

She promised she'd be there. She promised.

If she leaves her papers here, she's saying she might not come back.

You're freaking out for nothing, trust me.

Happy birthday, dear Colin.

Godfather Emile is no good. He forgot your present.

- Why would I do this? - This decision is made higher up.

Yasser Chadli didn't do anything to justify his arrest,

nor the cancellation of his permanent residency and his deportation.

Red Notice from Interpol.

The Shammar government is officially requesting

that you arrest Mr Chadli in preparation for his extradition to Shammar.

The accusation is participation In a terrorist conspiracy.

Terrorism?

It's the new one-size-fits-all accusation?

Discrediting without accusing any honest citizen.

Emile! The RCMP just took Grenade. A Red Notice from Interpol.

I love you.

- [Rene? - Her GPS is on the move.

I don't like it. Go give her the updated info, but be discreet.

- We're not the only ones on the case.

Make sure you're not followed.

Follow us.

Focus. Find the explosives before they blow up. Find Irene.

- What if it goes awry when you're gone? - Make sure it doesn't.

- Do you have a tail? - I don't think so.

I took precautions.

Fuck! It's me who's got a tail.

- What? - Nothing.

- What do you want? - Someone killed Robert.

What?

Yeah.

- I have messages. - Go on.

The RCMP have arrested Grenade.

- What? When? - An hour ago.

Emile thinks there's another foreign agency working at the same time.

The ones who planted mics at Grenade's.

It couldn't just be the RCMP, fuck. What else?

Emile asked me to give you a name. Megane.

That mean anything?

Emile said he patched up the issue but it'd only last a few hours.

- You had your wife followed by Robert?

You knew she had a contract with the CIA?

No.

You knew Robert was helping her?

No.

Why couldn't we locate you yesterday afternoon?

I was in the field.

Without GPS? No back-up?

Yes, to both questions.

- You were helping your wife escape?

She colluded with her bodyguard and on of your agents,

the same one that you had following her.

And you didn't see a thing? You think I am stupid?

Yes.

You're suspended until further notice.

And operation Grenade?

You are neither essential,

nor irreplaceable.

You have choices.

Beef and veg, beef stroganoff or beef bourguignon.

There is common theme in your menu.

I want chicken.

- Your argumentative spirit. - No swearing!

I said “spirit” not “shit”.

Gotcha! Two bucks in the swear jar.

Rachel, now's the time to tell me all your secrets.

I'm sorry to wake you.

But now, my lovely, we will start the real thing.

This will help us measure your biometrics.

I have to undress and put this on?

Yes.

Tell me about your girls.

- You want to calibrate my emotions? - Tell me about your girls.

Azure Is a carbon copy of her dad.

Open, a go-getter.

Determined...

but also tense.

Marine i1s more like me.

Uncertain, reserved,

an artist.

And if you had to sacrifice one to save the other, which one would it be?

I couldn't.

But if you had to.

I would save them both.

And if the choice was between one of your daughters and Emile?

Megane?

What is it? What's happening?

- Finally! - The little one?

- Where were you? - What's so urgent?

You weren't here for his birthday. I had a feeling. You told me...

You made me blow my cover over a feeling?

Do you realise the risk you've made me take?

You've made us take?

You heard about your father?

The consulate Is taking care of the formalities.

In a few days, he'll be on a plane to the Emirates.

Once there,

only you can help him.

And help yourself.

I never kept anything from you. I always told you about the job.

I never know where you are, what you're doing.

Who you're with.

That's better for you.

Stop wanting to protect me. I'd rather know.

It's worse in my imagination.

I understand that your job is not 9 to 5.

That it's important.

But more important than us? Than your son?

I have to go.

We'll talk when I get back, okay?

If you come back, come back for good, or don't come back.

I love you.

But never threaten me.

I'm going to work.

And we'll talk about this calmly.

Philip Miller is right. It's a very isolated chalet.

First look indicates four guards per shift, three shifts and a few specialists.

We'll need an extraction team of 10 men to get Rachel out.

- Are we sure she's on site? - We don't have visual confirmation.

I don't recommend such action. It's too risky.

I'll confirm with the Prime Minister. You have until tomorrow to prepare.

Hello.

Good evening.

You're much better looking in photos.

Can I call you Jamel? Since we're doing the same job.

If you want, Emile.

Good. Let's keep it simple.

Now, dear Jamel, you'll stop the harassment.

You'll stop listening, the surveillance.

Shit, while you're at it, you and your dirty crew go back home.

This is my first and only warning.

Next time, I won't be so polite.

Your job is recruitment. Not counter-espionage.

It may not be my job, but it's my city.

And sometimes I help clean up the place, even if no one asks me to.

How do I say this in Arabic again?

Ah, yes.

Get the fuck out of here.

How did the Canadian services start to suspect you?

Probably by cross-checking.

And the death of our Agent O'Leary, was that you?

- You had...

I didn't do anything.

At the border...

The SSC agent killed with a bullet to the head,

Robert Galois.

He knew too much.

Nervous?

I didn't dare make her go back to her room.

Should I have?

Who are you?

Can I help you?

Emile? Azure? Marine?

Auntie Anne!

Hello!

It’s cool. She’s my mum’s cousin.

- Where is your father? - Valerie is looking after us.

She makes the sweetest pancakes ever.

- You want some? - Yes.

Sorry, it's by invitation only.

Speak to Mr Darcy.

Rachel would never allow a stranger to look after her kids.

I don't know what Emile was thinking! This woman is armed in front of the girls.

Anne! It she's not hiding her weapons, it's Emile's orders.

Exactly. Valerie is doing exactly what I asked.

No one speaks to the girls without me. I came in the garden, your locks are old.

Emile, I can request long leave and look after the girls.

Thanks, but no.

I want someone capable of violence to look after my girls when I'm not here.

Can I speak to you?

- I'm scared for Rachel. - You?

Worst case scenario? Rachel is a mole.

She took strategic and valuable information with her.

Even if she's been with the CIA for a long time

and supplied verified information,

they'll still be suspicious.

They'll interrogate her under pressure. That's what I'd do.

They'd know her medical history.

If she cracks, she could tell them more than you or I would want her to.

You told her your secrets.

That means that she knows more than she should.

I was prepping her for a senior position.

She fooled us both.

Start preparing the girls.

I'm sure they'll order an extreme prejudice.

What does that mean? They'll kill her?

You should eat something.

No, I'm not hungry.

Keep going so we can finish.

You looking for me?

No, no, no!

I wouldn't do that it I were you!.

You know, you're good, but...

You're not good enough.

You've been following me for two days. Normally, I'd be flattered.

Our sources are a bit like tissues. We use them, then discard them.

But the Chadlis aren't the same.

They're good people.

They're not bothering anyone.

Except you.

Now, we have your photo.

We can find you anywhere, anytime.

If I were you, I'd make myself scarce.

You should've warned. I'd have brought a weapon.

Takes too long, too much paperwork.

- And if he had a weapon? - He did.

I told you Martin, 99% boredom and 1% extreme fear.

That's the job.

To be completely honest with you, that one, he scares me.

What will happen to Emile?

He'll be forced out the door.

He'll become radioactive,

by association.

Could we recruit him?

With your help?

No.

- Forget that. - Why?

Emile doesn't mix business and love.

He's too professional to give in to his emotions.

How's Emile taking it?

When will you take her?

Who told you that we'd try something that stupid?

They'll kill her, won't they?

It's the best solution for them.

No one knows anything, no one saw anything.

One day she's here, and the next, she's gone.

May peace be with you.

I am in charge of consulate affairs.

I am here for the protection of your rights.

I'm a permanent resident. I don't recognise Shammar authorities.

I'm politically persecuted. I'm a pacifist.

I am not in charge of citizenship files.

Mr Chadli, everything is already written.

You just need to sign.

I will not sign anything.

As the representative for the protection of your rights abroad, in this country,

I can sign for you if you are unable to do so.

You will leave for the Emirates as soon as we've finalised the details.

As I told you,

everything is already written.

Was it that urgent?

- You have no idea. - All right.

Oh, wow...

Pills, ointments,

exercises, modulated breathing.

Nothing works anymore.

There's a limit on what I can do.

What do you need?

Who will succeed McKenna?

Since it won’t be yourself.

Normally it would be Jacques Thomassin.

But he'll be discredited because he didn't see my defection coming.

Ottawa will want to clean up and get someone from the outside.

Monique Bartoli?

Maybe.

You've been interrogating me for at least 24 hours. Can we take a break?

I'm almost done.

Look at the camera please.

Look at the camera, Rachel.

Canadian operations in the US, I want names, contracts.

Do you have a network In our government?

The extraction team is in position.

When will we get visuals from their body cameras?

Look at the camera!

Do you have a network in our government?

The signal is blurred at the source.

Ask if they have a visual of Rachel Miller.

Answer.

Ms Miller?

Look at the camera and answer me.

- What's happening? - My men are dying.

- Do they have any options? - We were tricked.

No, it's a kill zone.

What do I do with the stand-by chopper?

Ground it this side of the border.

- Do something! - What do you suggest?

It's a trap. They were waiting for us.

We went there to get Rachel, not to fight.
