Original subtitles

- I had no choice. - What have you done?

Fascist! Rejected by Allah! I curse you!

No!

You think your uncle is one of our undercover agents?

Not an agent. A willing accomplice.

I need somewhere off the books to protect her.

- When? - Tonight.

7C is vacant.

The extreme prejudice against my niece, can you delay it?

Increase surveillance on Philip Miller.

I think his niece Is about to come back.

Carry on with the operation on the younger daughter.

- I hate it too. - Are you okay?

I feel like it's not working as well now.

- Dad! - Help us, someone!

You shouldn't have trapped my agents when they came to get me.

You'll accuse me of being the mole. Your real traitor will feel protected.

The place we met on a Sunday afternoon, remember?

- I'll be there in 30 minutes. - Don't say anything to Philip.

- He can't know that I'm back. - Why?

He's the mole.

Are you okay?

You?

Ma'am.

- We're too visible. - Yes.

I need to tell you, Marine is in hospital.

CLASSIFIED

McKenna is shelved. I'm suspended.

VJ Logan runs the show with that bitch, Bartoli.

Is a biblical cluster fuck.

Someone's leaking information to the Shammarians.

- Martin is dead. Chadli too. - What?

Irene was caught. She was mutilated.

And your return will blow everything up.

I never should've doubted you.

No, I should be apologising.

I was ordered to tell you nothing.

McKenna and

Do we know who killed Robert?

Not the Americans?

- Everything went well? - That's what you pay me for.

- Rachel is safe? - I just checked.

She's going to the hospital with Emile. One of their daughters isn't well.

You were supposed to take her to the safehouse.

Not sure it's a good idea.

From what I heard in the car coming back, Philip Miller is the mole.

If I was Jacques Thomassin,

and I had an extreme prejudice order against Rachel Miller,

and I wanted to avoid looking everywhere for her when she gets back,

what do you think I would do?

Little Marine, he's behind it?

Philip must be at the safehouse waiting for her.

Good evening. Proceed to voice identification.

McKenna, Adrien.

Alpha 4 Epsilon 0.

Yes, I have the text In my hands.

“But, said Alice, if the world has absolutely no sense,

"who's stopping us from inventing one?”

Thank you.

Set up a conference call between the PM and the Attorney General.

Yes, I know what time it Is.

Code Zulu.

I'll stay on the line.

The Emir should arrive today or tomorrow.

His bodyguard is keeping his final itinerary secret.

- It's all ready? - Yes.

Be contactable.

We have no more room for mistakes.

The death of the apostate wasn't a mistake.

You know you're probably walking into a trap.

Yes, but I'm going with you.

Mr Miller, are you alone?

You? But...

You're dead.

I went to your funeral five years ago.

Yes. I know, I'm well-preserved.

- Where's my niece? - Your phone.

Where is Rachel?

What's that?

It's for your niece, actually.

Look who's here.

- Azure. - Mum!

I told you I'd come back, hey?

- You're back for good? - Yes.

Oh, my God...

VET -

You just missed the specialist.

It's a lung abscess. A form of necrosis.

They just injected something that should help her.

- What caused this? - They don't know.

But they said someone called the hospital to notify them.

Ma am!

Azure, stand behind me.

Jacques, are you serious? In a hospital, in front of civilians?

We discretely evacuated the floor.

If you don't want to lose your job, drop it.

Rachel Miller, you're under arrest

for treason, conspiracy and first-degree murder.

You injected that poison in my daughter?

It's nothing personal, Rachel. We needed to make you come back.

- And it worked. - Hello, Rachel!

- You had a nice trip to the States? - Informative. Hello, VJ.

The Attorney General overturned the accusations against Rachel.

She is reinstated as head of counter-terrorism.

- Under who's authority? - The Prime Minister.

Mr McKenna has also been reinstated.

You will no longer take orders from Bartoli.

You know I didn't come back for Marine?

Release the information.

Holy shit, I almost had you shot In the car park.

Jacques was only doing his job.

If you hadn't come, Rachel would be gone and I shouldn't take it personally?

He poisoned my daughter and you want me to say “Buy me a beer, we're fine?”

Wait for me downstairs.

- Emile. - You knew?

Emile! Hey!

- McKenna wants to talk to you. - Not until Marine Is better.

Philip...

Safe. We're preparing him.

- Marine, Mummy's here. - Rachel.

We're like in a hurry. Emile will stay. Go speak to McKenna.

What does my father have to do with this?

Rachel?

All the strategic documents leaked between 2005 and 2012

had file numbers that indicated they were issued, approved

and reviewed by the head of the Service in Montreal.

Philip Miller.

He no longer had access after 2012, when he retired and you replaced him.

This could make sense.

Philip could have used Mandrake while he was leaking classified information.

When he lost direct access, they transferred him

to where a controller could manage him, and he became Shannon 3.

I don't know.

After his retirement, he continued to meet with people from the Service

and poke his nose in everything.

To do what he called "mentoring”.

I thought it was just an old bloke's nostalgia.

I tolerated it as a friend.

I'll leave you to confirm if your uncle is the mole.

VJ, you're in charge of Operation Grenade.

The Emir is coming, the conference is soon.

I don't want any incidents. Jacques, give Rachel what she needs.

That's It.

Jacques.

Once the trap was set,

there was no point in making the little one suffer any more.

Did you develop a conscience, Jacques?

I'm getting soft as I get older.

Don't tell Rachel.

What are you doing now?

I can't fix anything from a hospital bed.

Irene...

You're messed up, injured, traumatised.

It will take a bunch of specialists to rebuild my hand.

My next appointment is In three weeks.

They can't do anything for my eye.

For the rest, besides vodka and my son in my arms, not much could fix it.

- You're so hypocritical. - Megane, they almost killed you.

There's a lot I can accept in this world. But not this.

- Everything ready? - Yes. I'll leave you to it?

No. I want a witness for the recording. You cleaned up?

Yes, Ma'am. Nothing found.

Russian SP117. The top truth serum.

He'll answer everything, but remember nothing.

- How did you manage to get this? - You don't want to know.

Are you there? Don't hang up.

Hello, Philip.

Hello, Rachel.

I have some questions for you.

Yes...

Are you Mandrake?

Yes.

- Do you work for the CIA? - No.

Did you give them information?

- Yes. - Give or sell?

- Give. - For a long time?

- Until my retirement. - And then?

No.

You didn't continue through a CIA controller?

- Code name, Shannon. - No.

Why did you give them classified information?

- The context. - Explain.

The SSC could not get credibility.

The politicians weren't taking us seriously.

I had to establish a give and take approach with the CIA.

You gave them classified information,

and they gave you something to impress the government.

Yes. Yes, stuff on espionage.

Russian, Chinese and Iranian networks in Canada.

- It was treason. - No.

- What was it? - A necessity.

My kidnapping in 2008.

In Caucasus.

- Were you responsible? - Yes.

Was it your idea?

No.

Was it the CIA?

- Yes. - Why?

They were hoping to recruit you.

What happened?

At the last minute, they decided not to rescue you,

and I had to improvise.

Why did they change their mind?

- I don't know. - Why was I targeted?

I had fast-tracked you for a promotion without your knowledge.

The CIA wanted you to replace me.

Do you even know what I suffered?

Yes.

Do you have any remorse?

Depends on the day.

- The Shannon network. - Don't know.

Is Shannon 3 the agent who replaced you?

- The top-level source for Americans? - I don't know.

- Who controls the Shannon network? - I don't know.

Does Anne know anything about this?

- No. She knows nothing. - Why?

I love her too much to involve her in my work.

And me, do you love me?

No.

We're too similar.

I'm sorry.

- He's a monster. - No.

He's a manipulator.

You have to be strong.

- Will he be accused? - I mean right now.

When the drug wears off he won't remember speaking to me.

He'll think he was asleep. You'll have to keep this a secret.

I won't be able to. I'm not like you guys.

If he's telling the truth, and I believe he is,

he's not the active mole.

But if he finds out that he spoke to me, he'll warn the Americans.

I need time, Anne.

You have to help me.

You!

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry about Robert.

- It you have time, I'd like to explain. - You know what happened?

In parts, yes.

I need your help.

To do what?

Find and punish the person responsible for his death.

It wasn't an accident?

No.

It was murder.

You should have told me.

It was highly classified, on a need-to-know basis.

You realise how this will reflect on me?

The dissident network is dismantled.

The Emir could do his official visit in Canada very discretely.

Take credit for that.

Pretend that you knew that Rachel was involved in a disinformation mission.

And that you played along to help us.

What do you want in return?

We'll see, but yeah, eventually,

I will want something in return.

Our son is 19.

You expect he'll always say, “Yes, of course. You're right, Baba?”

Yes, of course. You're right, Marianne.

I'm wasting my breath?

I won't let them take my children's blood.

It I have to sell everything I have, if it can bring back your father, I will.

Is it Philip?

It's worse than I thought.

I will explain, but for now, I can't.

I have to process it.

They found the right medication. She's on the mend.

Azure found a new mission, hey?

She's testing the nurses' patience.

We're getting back to normal. We just need to get through this.

What is normal?

I knew she was innocent.

We'll organise a family dinner. The six of us.

I'll hire a caterer, the same we had for the New Year party.

His menus were different.

What did I do this time?

Nothing, Dad.

If you don't mind, I'll go. I have a complex translation project tomorrow.

Be careful, Dad.

I'm not on my death bed.

I was just a bit dizzy.

It's a good idea, the dinner.

See you later.

I convinced the lady who interrogated me to let me see their archives.

That's where I saw the code name Mandrake.

I can't believe you managed to do this.

Marine?

- Marine. Mummy is here. - Nurse!

Hello, darling.

Are you okay?

That's all the info you have?

- Yes. - It's not much.

Sarah, you were more than my assistant.

You're the most instinctive analyst on the team.

- If anyone can find anything, it's you. - But Shannon could be anything.

A city, a novel, anything linked to Ireland.

The name is not random.

It's linked to me, I'm sure.

What makes you think that?

You know when something's there, but you can't quite grasp it.

I just know. That's all.

I have to go upstairs.

Philip Miller's interrogation confirmed it.

He was the Mandrake source for the CIA.

And you're saying the Russian serum leaves no trace?

- He can't recall his interrogation? - Exactly.

The only proof we have of his treason, is the recording of his interrogation.

Yes.

And he admitted to an information exchange.

He betrayed the Service.

Destroy the recording.

I don't see the point of opening a can of old worms.

From now on, avoid him and make sure he can't step fool in our offices.

When I think about all the energy,

political capital and lives we wasted just for that!

A dinosaur who thought he knew it all, a mole that's not one anymore!

Get ready for a rough ride.

The Prime Minister will want a head.

She's pretending to forget the USBs found right at the start.

She does. I also noticed that you didn't mention Shannon 3.

I completely forgot.

I have to go see my daughter.

- Is she getting better? - Yes. Thanks for asking.

Emile went home with Azure. Valérie is with Marine at the moment.

Consider them at you service for another few days.

I'll sort it out with housekeeping. I'll need you tomorrow.

No, you'll do without me. My priority now is my family.

Shannon... 31 cities in the world,

one in Montreal, a location in Ireland.

16 people with that family name In Montreal,

in a 300km radius.

The list also leaked to the CIA according to Ms Miller.

- Your father's not here? - He left.

- For how long? - I don't know.

Did he leave a note?

Gone for an emergency. Will be back soon. E.

Get your stuff. We'll go to the hospital.

- I can look after myself. - Azure.

I convinced your other patients to go get a coffee.

- Your phone. - In my car.

Three metro stations away.

I took 30 minutes to be sure I wasn't followed.

Where is your wife?

Rachel doesn't know. She thinks the mole is her uncle.

- You're jeopardising my whole network. - I need information to finish a job.

- Emile... - The Shammar Mabahith.

They're planning something, I can feel it.

Surely someone knows something In your network.

Yes, we know.

We've known from the start.

It's all approved by the CIA.

You'll leave for Washington tonight via the Beauce.

No. I know Rachel. If she suspected something, I'd know.

It's not a risk we're willing to take.

You're not my only agent. I have a whole network to protect.

You've earnt your retirement. You're going.

It's an order, Emile.

You're leaving tonight.

- You wanted to see me? - No, but I need your authorisation code.

I want to check transactions of people In the documents that Rachel saw.

We've checked, they're clean. You're wasting your time.

I'm not looking for money. I'm looking for a link to Shannon 3.

The Emir has violated the divine laws.

He is corrupt.

He strayed from the road of compassion.

My action today is made in my name...

And that of my father.

Bilal?

Can I come in?

Valerie, it's okay.

You found something?

What?

- I owe you an apology. - Why?

If I trusted you, it would've been simpler.

What did you find?

Not here. In the room.

I dug up your transaction profile,

and those of everyone linked to the case that you identified.

Does your husband have a card for which you are the principal holder?

Yes. Where are you going with this?

Yasser Is the first source I've lost in 12 years in the Service.

Words cannot express how sorry I am for what happened.

I don't know where your brother is, but we'll do all we can to find him.

The person who did this to your husband will pay.

I swear on my son's life.

So, go kill yourself.

What happened to Yasser is your fault.

Yours and no one else's.

You're the one who betrayed us.

The one who did not keep her promise.

Now go away.

Petrol, hardware shop, restaurants...

But once, he used it to pay for a medical specialist at this address.

687 Shannon St.

Liz Olson, owner, living in Montreal since 2002.

American citizen.

His physiotherapist.

Our IT team just bypassed her firewalls and we have her client list.

Four of them had security accreditations labelled top secret.

We wouldn't have found it if he didn't use your credit card to pay for it.

Rachel?

How are you?

Go get him for me, call me when you have him.

No one says a word to anyone.

I'm sorry. I would have preferred to find something different.

You have that woman’s details? Her mobile number?

Yes.

Call security and communication. I want her location for these dates.

- It'll take a while. - Use the name McKenna.

Mention code Zulu. Now.

Mum? Are you okay?

Yes.

I know, It was a mistake, I shouldn't have left Azure alone.

But trust me, I had a good lead.

We found a souvlaki place around the corner.

- Well, don't answer. - Miller.

- I'm coming. - What is it?

McKenna wants to see me. I'll be an hour.

No matter what, don't leave him alone with the girls.

Yes, Ma'am.

Do you know why you're here?

Emile Darcy, my husband...

Is one of your regular clients.

So is Stéphane Toupin,

Penny Darlington, Ahmed Ben Said.

I bet you that I could also say Shannon 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Your cover is blown.

Here are your movements exactly 14 days ago.

The US are not the only ones

using geolocation on foreign citizen’s phones In their country.

Line 36.

This is your mobile location In an underground car park downtown

ten metres away from the last place I saw Max O'Leary,

the agent who was running me.

Why?

If you know my identity, you know that I have diplomatic immunity.

My husband works at the American Embassy in Ottawa.

You'll be deported. You'll never be allowed back in Canada.

Why this pointless murder?

Why kill one of your colleagues?

I had the authorisation to act.

What did Max O'Leary do?

My bosses wanted leverage In case you changed your mind.

We would've leaked some clues incriminating you as the murderer.

You killed a colleague for that?

Max discovered that Emile is one of my sources.

And Max drank too much. And talked too much.

You killed Max O'Leary because of my husband?

I protect my sources.

And Langley authorised the hit after you indicated you wanted to cross.

We knew each other well before he had the mission to infiltrate your life.

I encouraged his gambling addiction.

I seduced him.

I slept with him.

He'd just been recruited to your service.

I facilitated his financial troubles, then recruited him.

We just made sure that he entered your life at the right time.

It was almost too easy.

Poor Rachel

No.

Poor you. You just admitted to a murder on Canadian soil.

You have functional immunity, not total.

For crimes like murder, Ottawa can revoke your immunity.

The Attorney General has confirmed that right here.

You have no right to...

You can't.

I want to speak to my husband.

Ask the Montreal Police.

They're coming to get you.

Do you want to be there when we arrest him?

- Avoid any drama in front of my girls.

I'm really sorry, Rachel.

Excuse me.

Unknown number RUN!

I'll go get a coffee.

Do you want one?

No, thanks.
