We're meeting in broad daylight.

Yeah.

Are you Russian now?

Pavel?

Paul, Guillaume... and now Pavel.

Maybe you'll stop someday.

I feel like it's my destiny.

Me too.

I'm trying to work on post-Bashar Syria,

but he's still everywhere.

He can withstand anything.

I have to get back to work.

What is the Yakovlev Foundation?

A center for geopolitical studies and analysis.

- It's Russian? - Yes, it's Russian.

That's what you owe them?

So I gather.

Do you like it there?

I don't know. I don't ask myself that anymore.

Once, I thought I knew what I liked. It didn't work out.

No, it didn't work out too well.

Why did you decide to come after all?

After all?

I wanted to see you.

And meet some people.

People?

Maybe I need to speak to the Russians, if I want to help my country.

You're a remarkable woman.

Indeed...

Pavel Lebedev...

- ls it OK? - Yes, thank you.

Hi, Pacha.

Lost in thought?

Don't tell me you're homesick.

I won't tell you.

I have some good news for you.

Nadia EI-Mansour is in Moscow.

I know.

I know you know.

Am I still being watched?

When someone drops off a package here for you,

we make inquiries.

Normal, right?

Yes.

How did it go?

Why do you want to know?

Just curious.

What happens when you see the woman

who drove you to treason three times

and landed you twice in captivity?

Will you see her again? How long is she here for?

I don't know. A few days.

You like art?

Yes.

If you want, I can get you access to a magnificent private collection.

Why are you doing all this?

Ijust want you to be happy here.

I want you to feel at home.

Thanks to you,

I received this distinction for the whole of my career.

Mikhail Dimitrovich Karlov,

Officer of the FSB's Second Division.

Responsible for thirty recruitments within Europe's secret services.

In charge of defectors between 2001 and 2005.

Joined the FSB at 22.

He worked his way up the ladder

and can be expected to take on a director's role within two years.

He is respected and feared.

Thanks to his internal connections, he is untouchable.

So much so that today, he revealed a human side

that he has been suppressing his entire life.

He just received the Order of Merit,

and is at the mercy of a thunderbolt:

having to face the two greatest mistakes of his career,

and the FSB's two biggest defeats in the last ten years.

In other words,

learning that Pacemaker and I are French agents,

that he placed inside the FSB.

The resulting dishonor

would destroy him.

Hello, sir.

- Hello. - Bernard Batch. Pleased to meet you.

Hossam Fouad.

My colleague will be here soon.

- How was your flight? - Excellent.

- Air France? - No. Their schedule is impossible.

Indeed.

Egypt Air gives us its leftovers when it comes to scheduling.

Leftovers are better than nothing.

Here's my colleague.

This is Brice Albrecht.

Your "Legion of Honor".

Holy shit!

Jordan

Hello, what's going on'?

The engine's kaput.

I'm waiting for a replacement vehicle.

But one of the tourists must get to the airport,

0r she'll miss her plane.

Can you drive her to a taxi?

Of course.

Thanks, brother.

You'll tell Al-Taouf that Yusuf Ahmed gave you

this probe as a sample.

You'll say he ordered 50 of them.

What is it?

The new OLEM probe the IAEA will use to replace the old ones.

It measures the level of uranium enrichment.

How does it work?

Read this.

I'll answer questions he may ask you. Let me drive.

Why is it attached to gas pipes?

The Iranians enrich uranium mainly through gaseous diffusion.

- There's an embedded computer. - Yes.

It processes data sent to an encrypted network.

Its four algorithms take raw data

and calculates the enrichment level in the pipe.

Could the Iranians change the algorithms?

That's the idea. To reprogram the embedded computer

so the levels it generates are below IAEA limitations.

- Will you be OK? - Yeah.

You'll remember it all?

If I don't, it's no big deal. I'm not an expert.

True.

Do you have Italian roots?

My parents are French. I spent part of my childhood in Italy.

My dad worked for the DGSE.

He wanted me to become Italian and speak the language.

- "To better serve France", he'd say. - What?

He raised you to be an agent?

When I was twelve,

he took me in his car

and drove me to a house near Pisa.

It must have been a hideout. He told me he was a spy.

If I wanted to become a spy for France, like him,

I had to be able to pass for Italian.

It would be my disguise.

The perfect undercover agent.

How did you become an agent?

I was studying seismology at the Ecole Polytechnique.

I was offered a job at the DGSE, and I accepted.

I had just lost my father. I was a mess.

A father-related story.

Like me.

You haven't mentioned your mother.

Neither have you.

- Next time. - OK.

The mother is the next level up.

Moscow

This is unbelievable!

Who is this guy?

My boss.

Your boss is an art collector?

N0, but he knows collectors. He knows lots of people.

- Who is he, Putin? - Almost.

Thank you.

We let Kennedy know that Pacemaker works for us.

It's such a disaster for him

that he may hide it from his hierarchy, right?

Exactly.

We offer him a chance to cooperate,

- in exchange for our silence. - Yes.

Is there a chance it'll work?

If your life suddenly fell apart,

is there a chance you'd try to prevent that from happening?

Malotru is the mortal blow.

Kennedy let two of our agents into the FSB.

If it gets out, he will be humiliated and disgraced.

He'll spend the rest of his life in jail,

because they'll suspect he did it on purpose.

That's very nice,

but that implies ending Pacemaker's mission

and protecting him.

It does.

And it's too soon for that.

Pacemaker's mission is a thin layer of ice

that could crack at any given moment.

Pacemaker isn't reliable. He's fragile.

He wasn't properly trained.

It's a miracle he's still there.

A miracle that's already lasted several months.

You have to know when to cut your losses.

He's delivered valuable intel, but we could lose everything.

What?

Your sensitivity to Russian issues is common knowledge.

Yes, and?

- I understand your insistence... - I'm not insisting.

This isn't a personal affair.

My suggestion to recruit a future FSB director

is not a personal affair.

- You and Kennedy have a past. - Correct.

N0 one wondered if this altered my judgment 16 years ago,

when I was named head of the DSec, or of the Bureau, today.

We have an agent in the heart of the FSB's cyber division.

Thanks to him, we're closely following

a huge political destabilization program they're preparing.

We cannot terminate Pacemaker's mission at this time.

Find another angle.

There isn't one.

Kennedy is a rock.

If there isn't one, we'll have to let it go.

Let it g0?

We will not choose Kennedy over Pacemaker.

Like I thought, it's a vasovagal episode.

Caused by something you ate, or stress.

- Probably both. - Probably.

In any case, it's not your heart.

Thank goodness.

Thank you.

Thank you, José.

Thank you, Doctor.

- Will you be OK? - Yes.

We'll wait for you in the cube, for Ostrogoth.

I'll be right there.

I'll handle it, if you want.

I'll be fine.

Kennedy's recruitment was refused?

It's a huge mistake.

I slipped Malotru into the FSB. He's delivered us a gem.

But we refuse, to save an agent who will bail 0n us anyway in the end.

Can you find all of Pacemaker's reports, from the beginning?

I'd like to save his life, too.

Phnom Penh Cambodia

I'm sorry.

Really sorry.

We have all night, my darling.

Don't bother.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

You work too much. You must be tired.

- This is the first time... - It's no big deal.

It can happen to anyone.

To anyone?

To boys, yes.

Has this happened to you before?

What, being with a boy who couldn't?

Yes.

Yes.

Many times?

No, not many times.

That would be too sad.

How many times?

Two, three, four?

What do you want to know?

Nothing.

Ij ust want to know how serious my problem is.

Whether I should be worried or not.

You're totally normal, Sylvain.

My girlfriend Sveta has moved in with me.

I'd like to speak to Laurent,

the person you sent me...

Would iz' be possible to see him once more?

Sylvain?

I'd like you to meet Alexander Sudakov,

who arrived a few days ago.

He'll be in charge of security for all our operations,

during Vlad's convalescence.

Please to meet you.

Where were you?

- In Moscow. - It must feel strange.

Everything here is so different.

Yes. But in terms of security, it's all the same.

I'm suspicious of everyone, no matter what.

Of course.

What's that silly flash drive?

I can boot onto an ultra robust OS I created myself, in an emergency.

What kind of emergency?

If the CRC breaks down, I can patch in directly through my phone

using the emergency system's Bluetooth features.

How clever.

He's very good.

And very French.

Isn't his accent cute?

Foreign accents aren't quite as cute to me.

But I believe you.

Patching into the CRC with your phone.

I've never heard anything so stupid.

Ijust wanted to make sure he knew nothing.

He knows nothing about computers.

But he's a security genius.

Be careful.

You, be careful.

I sent you Pacemaker's last report.

Great, thanks.

Feeling OK?

Yes. Don't worry, you can go home.

Have a good evening.

My girlfriend Sveta moved in with me.

Was it a mistake to bring her here?

I'd like to speak to Laurent, the person you sent me.

Would it be possible to see him once more?

Cairo

Someone wired the French woman's room.

It's not us.

I want to know who did it.

What does TR mean?

- Trainee. - Ah... So you make coffee.

This allows me to go anywhere.

Do you have what I asked for?

Are these passkeys?

Yes.

- Do they work in the garage? - Yes.

For you.

What is it?

If necessary,

you'll be the one to execute the French woman.

Laurent?

Jeddah - Saudi Arabia

Andrea!

Abdo,

a Coke, please.

Thank you.

Way to go!

Abdo,

change the channel. This is making me crazy.

Abdo, put the game back on!

MaherAI-Taouf, Mohamed AI-Taouf's cousin,

belongs to the commando who killed Jamal Khashoggi, the journalist.

He and four other commando members

were accused by the Saudi government of acting on their own.

He was judged and executed.

Thanks to you, Mille Sabords found this out.

Thanks to me...

The OLEM probe worked like a charm.

Thank you.

He's good, isn't he?

Mille Sabords? Yes.

Did JJA find him?

He already worked in the field.

JJA knew him well. He trained him to go undercover.

Did he work at the DSec?

Among other places.

Is he connected to Malotru?

Why would he be?

I don't know.

He could have been part of his security detail.

Or he could have investigated him, when he was with the DSec.

I have no idea.

See you later.

Is it working?

My darling little girl,

I'm doing fine, as you can see.

I hope you are too.

The person holding the phone will show you this video

and let me know how you are.

Today, I can talk to you by video.

But I promise we'll see each other in person soon.

I can't return to France, as you know.

You want me to stop?

But you can come here.

I'll work it out.

As soon as possible.

Maybe not right away, but...

If you want to, of course.

Why don't you show us around?

Sure. But I didn't choose the furniture.

It looks like a show apartment. This is the living room.

You'll really never return t0 France?

D0 you have a girlfriend?

I'm seeing someone, Samara. I like her.

But I'm no great catch for her.

She's divorced with two kids.

She works in a supermarket.

She's a brave woman, like you.

And you?

- Are you seeing anyone? - Yes.

Stephen, a university professor.

And?

Nothing... I don't know... What do you want me to say?

- How old is he? - 37.

Children?

Is it serious?

Serious? I don't know... I guess so.

What about you? ls it serious?

I wish it were, but I don't think so.

I should go.

- I'm glad we got to see each other. - Me too.

- The question is, will we do it again? - That is the question.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'll be here, living a quiet life.

If you come back for work, I'll be here.

I like Moscow a lot.

- Have a save trip. - Bye.

Come in.

I was told to come see you.

I'd like you to investigate your former boss.

The last one, you mean?

Yes, JJA.

It was bound to happen.

I don't know.

What are we looking for?

Open listening.

We're not looking for anything special, just observing.

But if something feels off, we intervene.

What does that mean?

We intervene.

He sent me an assessment report on Pacemaker.

You know who Pacemaker is?

A report written by Laurent Brenner

from the Phnom Penh desk.

Brenner worked closely with Jean-Jacques for a long time.

It's unfortunate that I have doubts on the integrity of this report.

- You have reasons to doubt? - None.

But I do have a sixth sense.

Now, I need confirmation.

That's the DSec's job. In other words, yours.

I see.

Maybe his paranoia is rubbing off on me.

Don't let it rub off on you.

That little video you made for your daughter is good.

Listen...

This is Russia.

We know how to hack a Syrian woman's phone.

Did you erase it?

No.

Can she come?

Yes.

In time, we'll bring her here.

Paul Lefebvre...

Pavel Lebedev...

None of that will matter anymore.

This is to thank you.

What is it?

One detail is false.

A lie you fed us during an interrogation?

It's in this article?

Does it point the finger at us?

And?

Does that change anything?

To Franco-Russian friendship.

To Franco-Russian friendship.
