Moscow

- Hello - Hi.

Thank you.

Pacha!

How are you?

Good.

- A little nervous? - No.

Don't tell me you don't feel anything, coming here to work.

- Of course I do. - How does it feel?

It feels good.

This is Alexis Bakatine.

He works at the FSB's fourth directorate.

- That's the equivalent of your... - DSec.

Hello, Pavel.

This way.

Guess where to?

Lie detector?

Then I'll take you to your office and introduce you to your colleagues.

They're waiting for you.

Very good.

Are you familiar with the procedure?

It's become a ritual between us.

Have you seen any French people since you've been in Moscow?

No.

Why were you at the post office this morning?

I don't know how to explain in Russian.

Use any language. It's recorded.

We'll show you specific cases,

ones that we find interesting. You tell us

how the DGSE would react.

What it would do,

what resources it would use.

Good morning.

You'll study the territories with French presence

and interpret the signs that you are familiar with.

Understood?

I'm an analyst.

Yes.

Hello.

This is your new colleague,

Pavel Lebedev.

This is your desk, Pavel. Coffee?

Thank you.

Fuck them!

Yes?

It's me.

What's up?

You're sick.

What?

Your malaria is flaring up.

A fever of 104.

N0 way you can go to work.

Three days' sick leave, serious meds...

Your director is in the loop.

Cairo?

The Mule will explain the rest. She's downstairs.

I wanted to be the one to see you in your underwear...

ls it dangerous?

Delicate, I'd say.

But not dangerous.

OK...

N0 sleeping in the buff anymore?

I get dressed to open the door.

Bring me back a souvenir.

I have good and bad news.

I'm listening...

Good news: I think I know where Pacemaker is.

- Where? - Phnom Penh.

Cambodia?

His phone's been off 72 hours.

The server sent me data from where it was shut down.

All the nearby devices were identified.

Amongst them...

two are currently located in Phnom Penh.

I figured Pacemaker must be with them.

Better yet, his girlfriend got a call from a Cambodian phone.

I don't have precise details, but it was from Phnom Penh.

The Russians kidnapped him and took him to Phnom Penh?

Or he's there on a secret project.

What's the bad news?

Raymond's having a bout of malaria.

You must eat.

Hello, Sylvain.

What's the meaning of this?

Leave us.

Sorry, but if we'd asked you nicely to come with us,

you'd have refused.

We couldn't allow that to happen.

You're right. I'd have said "no".

And guess what? I'm saying "no" now.

You were going to Paris, weren't you?

No, to Riga.

There was a risk they'd extradite you to France.

Why?

They're looking for the whistleblower,

and you're a perfect suspect.

So, am I a prisoner now?

You're not a prisoner.

What am I?

If you like my offer,

you'll become an expat worker.

Coming?

My phone.

Let's go.

I have to charge it.

Lovely.

I need to make a call!

You can call her when we're done. I promise.

How is she doing?

She misses you.

- Hi, Khim. - Hello.

- How are you? - Fine, thanks.

Is it ready?

Yes, it's ready.

Hello, Sveta?

It's Sylvain.

Where are you?

I'll tell you, but it's a secret.

They told me you'd left because of a cyberattack.

Yes.

I couldn't talk to anyone.

I'm so sorry, sweetheart.

Are you in Paris?

No, I'm in Phnom Penh.

Cambodia.

Phnom Penh?

Yes, I'll explain later.

l miss you.

l miss you too. I was so worried.

Didn't my office reassure you?

Yes, but I was still worried.

What did you tell her?

Nothing compromising.

Just enough to calm her down.

- Ihave to go. - OK, but before you do...

Did ljust hang up on her?

That's so like you.

It's impressive, you have to admit.

It's impressive.

What are they doing?

That's the first good question you've asked.

We're working on a very ambitious program.

I need you to be its technical supervisor.

More ambitious than Center 21?

There, you do research.

Here, l apply it-

Meaning?

Of what?

An institution?

Which one?

This is where I have to stop.

This is where you say "yes", so I'll tell you more.

I'm saying "no".

Goodbye.

Cloning an institution is an act of war.

I don't work for the FSB.

Either you're a fool, or you take me for one.

You're already working for the FSB.

I work for Center 21.

FSB.

And you?

FSB.

I want to return to the boat.

Of course. Think it over, take your time.

N0. I'm getting my things.

The Directorate honored me by entrusting me with this mission.

And I am calling upon your skills.

If you refuse, I will be very disappointed.

There will be no more Center 21 for you. No Moscow either.

Step foot in the city and you'll be arrested.

It's a tvvo-year mission.

When it's over, we leave.

You have 48 hours.

Cairo Egypt

Mr. Mortier.

What a smart ass!

How are you, Mr. Mortier?

Much better.

Three hours in a taxi, insane traffic...

Here I am, in a haven of air-conditioning and calm.

Paradise!

I didn't see a reservation in the...

It may have gotten lost between Paris and Cairo.

Unfortunately, these things do happen.

May I offer you a refreshment at the bar?

With pleasure.

Two Nojitos, please.

You're sure it's a virgin cocktail? It's a bit early...

N0 alcohol.

Here on a visit?

Yes, just passing through.

I asked for a few days off, to come see you.

They can live without you for a few days?

No.

But I can't live without you for 8 months.

I'm happy to see you, Mr. Mortier.

How's life in Cairo,

living in this hot, humid nightmare?

It's the perfect escape from the cold, dead nightmare lwas in.

Are you managing OK?

I don't know.

What about you?

Look down there.

That's Ahly, a famous fitness club.

Normally, straight ahead,

is the great pyramid of Gizeh.

You can see its peak when there's no smog.

You spend your time gazing at Gizeh, huh?

I miss your dumb jokes.

You're the only one.

N0 joking around at the office?

That Figaro article put a damper on things.

They had it coming.

"They"?

It's "they", not "us"?

I tried my best to avoid this, and lfailed.

And I believe we are all victims of this mess.

This mess...

Can you believe ljust called Mal0tru's death a "mess"?

Damn!

You show up, and so does he.

Sorry.

Don't be. It's my problem.

I taught everyone to harden their heart. Look at rne...

You're oversensitive.

N0, I'm not.

I'm not oversensitive.

This is different.

Can I take a shower?

Sure, go ahead.

Pavel Lebedev

That's him.

Who is that?

Maxime Azimov, a biology student.

A nobody.

We put an agent on Malotru's path, someone he'd immediately recognize.

Malotru came to the park.

This confirms that he is alive,

that he's in Moscow,

and that he's curious.

He definitely saw Grandpa.

But he didn't go over to him.

He's being cautious.

Or hostile.

From the moment he sees Grandpa, Malotru knows

he's now being tailed.

Yet, he hasn't tried to escape our surveillance.

He's let us see where he lives.

He must be wondering how we found out he was alive,

and what we expect from him.

They know. Intelligence ?

Intel from the Russians?

Fake assassination ?

Real burns

Infiltration?

The Yakovlev Foundation, a research institute,

is really a front for Russian intelligence services.

Some genuine researchers do work there,

but many others are FSB analysts.

Sylvain, please excuse us.

He's not trying to find out what we want.

He works for the FSB.

Our plan may be falling apart.

He willingly shows us where he lives,

where he works and for whom.

I'm sure he submitted to a polygraph.

What would you do in his shoes?

You'd nurse your hatred so you pass the test, right?

Most probably.

That's the optimistic version.

Here's a different view.

He's telling us to go to hell.

Good evening.

Please, come in.

Thank you. They're beautiful.

Twenty-three.

Excellent. An odd number.

You remembered.

You're smarter than my last guest.

This is Katya, my wife.

Hello, Pavel. I'm very pleased to meet you.

The pleasure is mine.

Thank you. I'll put these in water.

I'd like you to meet my son Anton.

A pleasure to meet you, Pavel.

Do you speak French?

I love France.

Have you ever been there?

Not yet. But I'd like very much to visit.

I want to see the Louvre and the Statue of Liberty.

That's in New York.

No, Dad.

There are two in Paris.

Are you going out?

I'm meeting Garik and his friends.

Is that OK?

Isn't that cute? He's asking my permission.

I'll go out either way.

Off you go.

I hope we meet again.

That would be nice. Goodbye.

You belong to a very exclusive club:

the colleagues Mikhail invites to dinner.

I must be special.

Unquestionably.

Are you enjoying Moscow?

I think I could like it here.

Is there something missing?

Familiar things.

Of course.

Moscow is a tough city.

Nothing comes easy here.

But I think it's the only bearable place in Russia.

I live in a family of protesters.

He likes opposition.

He hates banality,

compromise and sameness.

You're saying too much about me.

You invited Pavel so he'd get to know you better.

Am I wrong?

Would you invite me to your house?

In France, we always return an invitation.

In France,

it's customary to return an invitation.

But isn't that just common courtesy?

You think we're savages, here in Russia?

We return everything here too.

Invitations, gifts, favors...

When you start talking in code, I'm supposed to leave the room.

Don't go, darling. That wasn't code.

Why are you doing this?

I want you to feel at home here.

Why?

Why?

You're an open wound, Pavel.

You deserve to live a normal life...

N0 looking over your shoulder.

Let's have a drink in my study.

Did you tell your girlfriend you work for the FSB?

Not yet.

You're hiding it from her?

She hates the FSB.

Find a new girlfriend.

Everyone hates the FSB.

Except the girls who work there.

I'm kidding.

Tell her I'm not involved with dissidents.

Only informers and moles.

I may have prevented wars.

OK. She knows you. She adores you.

I did put a little pressure on her.

Tell her I apologize.

We never can remember the order.

In America, it changes all the time.

The last one is missing.

Kennedy.

I lost him.

Or someone stole him from me.

Cairo

You seem to be looking for something.

I'd like to find a little souvenir for a girlfriend.

You have a girlfriend?

Is she an escort?

Here, "girlfriend" means "escort".

No, she's not an escort.

In that case, you can't bring her anything from here.

I assume she doesn't know what you really do.

I could give it to her in six months.

Six months?

You're in love! What's her name?

Beatrice.

I can't believe it.

We've been together all day. You haven't said a word.

About what?

About your "Beatrice".

Mine's name is Mustapha.

He weighs 300 lbs. and he's married.

And?

Nothing. He's fantastic.

Amélie?

He's a trainee. I'll see you later?

Sorman Group Security Directorate General

New message: S. E.

Excuse me?

I'd like a beer, please.

OK.

Thank you.

It'll take a minute to locate his message.

Foundifl

Translation?

"I've been offered a new job.

A big operation.

Code still undocumented..."

That means he's waiting for our feedback on the article.

"B00leen"... I'm not sure what that means.

It means, "true or false?"

Or "yes or no?"

- He's asking us what to do. - I think so.

It's disguised as a personal note in his phone, which is why...

I figured that out.

Can we edit the note?

Yes.

New framework. Major upgrade. Undocumented code. Booleen

Tell him someone will come see him.

Meanwhile, he can accept the job if he wants.

If not, we'll bring him home. His choice.

If (vSenz') Vjob: = True

Else Return

End If

Hi, Sylvain.

- Are you Laurent? - Yes.

- We need to talk. - Yes.

You look disappointed. Were you expecting a shrink?

N0, I had no expectations.

You can ask me anything you like.

I'll try my best to answer. We have twenty minutes.

That's it?

We can meet again if needed,

but it's best to limit these kinds of meetings.

OK.

G0 ahead.

What happened with Paul Lefevre?

He disappeared during a mission in Ukraine.

Is he dead?

Probably. But we don't have confirmation.

Did the Americans kill him?

From what we know, they tried.

They tried?

There's no indication they succeeded.

Was that good for us?

When a traitor stops betraying, it's better for us.

But he'd already stopped.

So, we had no reason to come after him.

If you could see the fallout in Paris, you'd know this wasn't in our interest.

Why, because it leaked to the press?

It leaked because it's not true.

If it were true, no one would ever have found out.

You're not the only one wondering.

Plus, you knew him. Your reaction is totally normal.

Sylvain... We don't kill our own agents.

Only in the highly exceptional event of operational necessity.

Which was not the case, here.

I'm not made for this. I wasn't trained for this.

I'm here in Cambodia,

smack in the middle of a top secret Russian project.

If I'm caught, I'll be tortured for weeks.

N0, they'll rough you up a bit

and use you to bargain.

It'll cost us to recover you, but we will.

Hi, honey!

How did you get this number?

Someone gave it to me.

Who?

Aren't you happy to see me?

No.

You shouldn't call me on this number.

Ihave some important news for you.

I'll accept the job.

What job?

On one condition...

What job, Sacha?

I Want to bring my girlfriend here.

Sveta?

Yes, Sveta.

You cover her travel expenses and pay for whatever she needs.

Has this been recorded, or are you actually live?

A bit of both.

So?

OK.

Great!

Bye, Vera.

Bye, Sylvain.

It was really nice to see you. I miss you.

And I'll keep missing you.

Am I a suspect?

Anyone shocked by Mal0tru's death is a suspect.

That means basically everyone.

Few knew about the Americans.

You and I did, at least.

Are you scanning me?

Was it you?

It's not me.

They did something ugly.

That doesn't mean I'd do the same to them.

You're either sincere or very good.

I'm very good.

See you soon, Amélie.

Take care, Mr. Mortier.

My regards to Beatrice.

Paris Institute of Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis

Please sit down, Mr. Angel.

What brings you to me?

I hear voices.

Are they speaking to you?

N0, they talk amongst themselves.

In any particular context?

The first time,

I thought they were in the next room.

I wasn't in my usual surroundings.

I was overworked and sleep-deprived. I didn't pay much attention.

I thought it was my neighbors.

What did the voices say?

I didn't try t0 understand them.

I was working in an office.

I heard voices next door.

I tried to stay focused.

But one day, I don't know why,

the voices were louder.

Or maybe the conversation was heating up.

I walked out of the office

to see what was going on.

I opened the door of the next office.

And there was no one there.

No.

What did you do?

I returned to my office. I was very worried.

I was on the alert.

Did the voices come back?

Yes, often.

What country were you in, Mr. Angel?

Russia.

What do you do, Mr. Angel?

I'm a diplomat.

I will be going to a foreign country soon,

and I must admit, I'm very concerned.

I'm afraid this may prevent rne from traveling.

I'll prescribe an anti-psychotic.

And give you the name of a colleague you should see.

The two go hand in hand.

Do you think this may prevent me from leaving?

Are you hearing voices right now?

No.

Was it your idea to come here?

Or someone else's?

It was my idea.

That's a very good sign.

Thank you, Doctor.

Mr. Anger;

Yes?

Did you choose me because I'm Russian?

You're Russian?

Evguenia Abramovitch is definitely Russian.

Since you've spent time in Russia, surely you know that.

True, but I didn't notice.

Have a good day, Doctor.

Raymond Sisteron

Former neighbor

Evguenia Abramovitch, psychiatrist

No accent, is she really Russian? Friendly.

Probably an FSB informer.

Moscow

Pavel Lebedev

Russian University of Literature

I know what you're feeling.

The sadness and resentment that comes

from having been betrayed by those you served.

Rage, regret, the feeling that everything has been tainted.

You were only trying to make up for a mistake.

One simple, stupid mistake.

I just want you to know

which channel informed your new friends

of what was going on over there,

that day in the Donbass.

It was the Jordanian channel.

You know it.

You know what that means.

I want you.

As you can see, the Americans' goal differed from ours.

We used iz' as a tool

to launch an infiltration operation.

You may work undercover for the FSB.

The Directorate has decided that after this,

you may come home.

You won't be charged or even dismissed.

Me too. Come over?

You'll finally return to your life pre-Syria,

before the mistakes we all made.

The rest will follow.
