- Regarding Colonel Mirreau,

you have nothing? - I have it quickly

stopped looking. Saying his name is dangerous.

- Ferraud, his wife, wants to write a paper on our activities.

- We are inquiring

on the Sentinels program.

- I work more for the Germans.

- What if I told you we could

help you find your protégé? Gisèle.

Bring me information

on this man.

- The body was burned. Identification too quick.

- What to do?

- The Sentinels are the only option

that we have left. - You have 2 days.

After that, Mazauric will be transferred to Germany.

I'd like to spare you this mission.

- Suicidal?

Heavy music

...

- Your laboratory is too rudimentary.

It is impossible to manufacture Dyxenal under these conditions.

- I know, Professor.

That's why we're going to transfer you tomorrow.

Before I do that, I would like to introduce someone to you.

We open a door.

Teacher ?

Thanks.

German roadblock straight ahead.

Breathtaking music

...

- From Clermont.

Ferraud, come help me!

- Henri.

I think I have a lead.

On touch.

- Any news from our soldiers?

- Not yet.

They should be near the German fort.

Anyway,

It's too early to worry.

We won't know anything until tomorrow afternoon.

At best.

They'll bring Mazauric back, that's for sure.

- Is this your wife writing to you?

- They're in Nice now.

- Etienne, I wanted to tell you.

If our mission is a failure,

The Sentinels program will continue, I hope.

Maybe.

But you and I,

I doubt that Joffre will maintain his confidence in us.

Last night,

I made sure you could get a position in Toulon.

It will bring you closer to your loved ones.

Dark Music

- And you ?

- Moi...

I will face my judges.

- They will succeed, Colonel.

I'm sure of it.

...

- I want the program to run at full speed.

Bring in the next guinea pig, today.

- And for surveillance?

...

- Go on.

- The Mirror! The Mirror! Ask for the Mirror!

...

We're getting closer.

- Did you find it? - Yes, I took risks.

Too much. This is the last time we'll see each other.

This is Mirreau's military file.

- Gabriel Ferraud. An inspector recognized him.

He was working

with the dogs of Ménilmontant, long ago.

He is the son of Paul Charpentier.

- The card player?

- With an unfortunate tendency

to booze and beatings on his wife and children.

He was shot by the police one evening when he had

lost it.

- I knew him,

he fleeced everyone.

- Was he cheating?

- He boasted of being able to control minds.

- So he was cheating, what?

- Surely, Commissioner.

- What happened to that bad seed?

- It's not clear there.

He moved to another neighborhood and we didn't hear from him again.

He calmed down.

- Do you have an address? Is he married?

- I can find out.

But after that, we're even, you and I.

- It's the same.

Music of tension

...

- Come on, move forward!

- Stay with me. It'll be okay, hang in there.

Talk to me!

Talk to me!

Oh !

Ferraud, damn,

speed up!

...

Hold on.

Stay with me. Fuck. Open your mouth.

Open your mouth.

There you go, drink.

There you go, there you go. Calm down, it'll be okay.

- Sergeant. - Yes?

We'll try it.

- Leave it, I'll take it.

From Clermont, look at me.

Come on !

Come on !

Cri d'effort

- Are you alone?

Sit down.

Sit down!

Remarks in German

Go see if anyone's there.

- I'm coming. Stay with us.

Fracas

...

She exclaims.

Music of tension

...

She gasps.

She coughs.

...

- Oh !

What's wrong with you?

- Nothing.

Dark Music

...

- Women-him

you Dyx.

- From Clermont!

Open your mouth.

Avale. Avale!

De Clermont moans.

...

Hang in there, hang in there.

Hold on.

From Clermont shouts.

...

(in German)

- Don't move, you.

Clermont moans. Music of tension

... ...

Remarks in German

He moaned. - Hold him.

... ...

- It has to work this time.

Is this Djibouti's hormonal analysis?

- The most recent we have of him.

We could change the eluent.

- And we could identify this hormone?

- This is our best option in the time available.

Mon colonel.

- She arrived.

Dark Music

...

Her name is Aria Sainte-Rose.

She is a prison inmate from Bordeaux,

sentenced to death for murder.

- But we're not ready yet.

- We no longer have a choice, Marthe.

The capture of Mazauric forces us to speed up.

- Is she a volunteer?

- Not yet.

...

We close the door.

Thank you, Etienne.

Please sit down.

- Why am I here?

- You will be executed soon,

I believe.

We are offering you a second chance. If you join us,

you will be able to live.

- What should I do?

- We want to know your reaction to a substance

medicinal product that we manufacture here.

This serum,

once injected into your body,

will greatly increase your martial abilities.

- Actually, this is the army, right?

- Yes.

An army laboratory.

- Is it dangerous?

Dark Music

...

- You might not be able to stand it.

- And ?

- And that it kills you.

...

It's up to you to decide.

- Decide what?

Either I'll get my head cut off, or I'll try your product.

We see. Is that your choice?

...

Can I really survive?

- Yes.

- Yes.

- What if it works?

- You will be stronger.

Stronger than a man.

...

- There are suspicious disappearances in the Atlas,

notably that of Charpentier,

who disappeared into the desert in 1904 with 400 men in total.

And not a single corpse, not a single survivor.

It's like the desert

had swallowed them up.

- Did the newspapers talk about it?

Not us, I would remember.

- A disciplinary battalion

In Morocco, who is interested?

- Go on.

- At the same time, who stayed a year in this desert?

A certain Colonel Mirreau,

officially to supervise archaeological excavations.

- And you, you don't believe it?

- I'm not even talking about that.

Mirreau was in Morocco in 1904,

the place where Charpentier disappears,

and is at the morgue of the 1st arrondissement in 1906,

to shield his body from any investigation.

- What happens between the two of them?

- Well, I don't know.

But this soldier couldn't have died twice.

- But the other soldiers who disappeared in 1904,

what happened to them?

- Mirreau must know, but...

He is like protected, untouchable.

- No, it's still too light

to put together a solid article.

Only one soldier in 400 can be a deserter,

an administrative error.

We can't take the risk.

I believe in your intuition, Irene.

But we need more elements.

We're getting closer.

- From Clermont.

Can you hear me?

- I hear you, Sergeant.

- We can't wait for you to recover.

We're not going to take you.

- In that case, sorry to let you down.

- As soon as you can, you get out of here.

You detach them

and you rush towards our lines.

Dark Music

...

With this, everything will be fine, soldier.

...

- Everything will be fine, Emile.

...

- On and off you go, Ferraud.

...

- Your man's name is Ferraud,

born Gabriel Charpentier, repentant delinquent.

You will find the details

in the copy of his criminal record.

Apparently he had a son before the war.

- It's perfect.

- What do you want from him?

- You are too curious, Baron.

- And for Gisèle?

- I hope I can locate her quickly.

I'll keep you up-to-date.

Maybe we have the same enemies.

Be ready.

You will hear from me soon.

She walks away.

She leaves the room.

- Madame.

Are you a journalist?

- Yes.

- Very few women do this job, I congratulate you.

It takes a lot of courage.

It is a dangerous activity, especially today.

- Should I take this as a threat?

- As a warning.

And with us, there is only one.

- And you are?

Dark Music

...

- 52 kg.

Normal pupil. Look up.

172 cm.

Jaw at 15 cm.

Face.

...

- Did you grow up in the countryside?

- Yes.

- Me too.

I'm going to sting.

Do you have any brothers or sisters?

- I don't know.

- And your parents?

- I still have my mother, my father died 2 years ago.

- This man you killed, tell me more.

We need information about our patients.

It's to get to know you.

- Who did I kill, will that tell you who I am?

- It's up to you to tell me.

- Ask for my file at the prison.

- I read it.

It's very brief.

A man, 45 years old.

A sharecropper.

Stabbing in the throat. - So what?

- Did you know him?

- Not really, no.

- Did he do something to you?

- We'll talk about it again if I don't die.

- It's a 2-hour walk.

- And after?

- Afterwards, we get Mazauric and we'll get going.

...

Intriguing music

He moaned slightly.

... ...

...

- How are you, Sergeant?

- That shit Dyx is eating me up.

Dark Music

- Do you want to stop?

...

- No, we have to move on.

...

- You know,

I became a soldier when I was 16.

I wanted to get out of my house, but I had nowhere to go,

not a penny.

The army was perfect for me.

You eat,

you fight,

you sleep.

There are no more parasitic questions.

Cracking

The only thing I didn't know,

I was made for it.

Like you.

- I don't know.

- Yes, yes. You know that.

In the trenches, you saw clearly.

What's up?

One in 10 guys who is actually capable of fighting.

I'm not blaming them, but that's how it is.

They're not killers.

We do.

So even though the Dyx burns me inside,

I will go all the way.

- I don't understand what's happening to me.

Their soldier, it's like he...

- What do you mean?

- He was getting into my head.

- It's your fear speaking.

But he's just a fucking soldier like us.

- If we make it out alive, I'll end up in the asylum.

- Don't worry, Ferraud.

You're more likely to die in a few hours.

But hey,

die with me in the depths of a German fort,

Maybe this isn't the ending you were hoping for.

- I had imagined some rotten endings.

But not that one, no.

- Me neither.

I had imagined endings, I don't know...

more glorious.

Remarks in German

...

- Your super soldier has gone mad.

He is a barbarian,

a danger to humanity.

All the horrors he commits are your fault.

- But we only continued your research.

- You shouldn't have.

Are you the one who wants to give me lessons in good behavior?

- But we have learned from our mistakes.

You want to reproduce them,

and multiply this aberration.

- Our super soldier is a necessary evil.

When we have 100 like him,

the war will end in a few days.

- And you will have created monsters.

- But we will know how to eliminate them.

- What if you can't do it?

(in German)

We lock the door.

- It's hard, what you're asked to do.

Mazauric also failed several times before you.

But like him, you will succeed.

The colonel won't say it, but he fears

that the program stops in case of failure.

- Is he the one who sent you to tell me that?

What are you checking?

My loyalty?

- I want to be able to tell the colonel that you will face it.

Tomorrow's operation must be successful.

Your place in this laboratory depends on it.

Dark Music

...

- Pardon.

It's Gisele.

- What's up?

- The Germans.

They found her.

German words in the distance

...

Music of tension

...

... ...

...

- Here we are.

- No improvisation, Ferraud.

We find Mazauric and bring him back.

- I'm following you.

...

Dark Music

...

(There's no one there.)

(- Up ?)

(- Nothing.)

(- We are moving forward.)

Hoarse breathing

...

...

(It's too quiet, it's not normal.)

(- What are we doing?)

(- No choice, we take the risk.)

...

Remarks in German

...

- You'll regret it, Louis.

- Advance.

- What are they going to do to me? - I don't know.

But they are very interested in you.

- Are you scared?

- Shut up.

It's time to say goodbye.

Intriguing music

...

Good evening.

...

She is dangerous.

...

- Perfect.

Come on. - And my extension cord?

- Of course.

...

I will guide you.

...

Gunshot

- Nobody move!

She's going to leave with me.

- Baron ?

- I am here.

So, who are you? Who sent you?

We have a lot to talk about. - Run, Sir!

Gunshots

- Attention, Baron !

- The little one! - She's with me!

Don't be afraid.

Stand there.

Come here, Baron!

One!

Dark Music

...

- No, no, wait...

He screams.

...

Who were these guys?

- I don't know! - You work with them.

- I never knew who it was.

- How did you meet them?

- He accosted me when I got out of jail.

- That guy? - Yes.

He asked me to seduce Gisele.

- Where did he want to take her? - I don't know.

- Don't you have a name? - He didn't tell me anything, I swear.

I don't know anything anymore!

- You're useless then.

- Non !

No, don't kill him.

Please.

He moaned.
