Original subtitles

How much longer will you stay here?

Two or three weeks.

Who decides? You or them?

Both.

It's better if we agree.

When you're released, will we live together?

Would you want to?

I would.

Even if it scares me a bit.

Just a bit?

How long have we lived together over the past five years?

You mean, less than 5 yards from each other for over 48 hours?

Three and half days... Maybe four...

Without terrorist attacks, bombs...

snipers, hostages...

How will we manage, Guillaume?

Like everyone else. Like normal people.

"Normal" as in "ordinary"?

We'll have a lot to learn, and it won't always be glamourous.

Like waking up every day next to each other.

Putting up with each 0ther's moods and habits.

Remembering what hurts the other, or makes them sad.

Remembering birthdays...

It's August 26, right?

Paul's, yes.

Guillaume's is November 14.

Off to a great start...

And at the end of each God-given day,

we can't forget to look at each other as we undress,

to get into bed together.

Was he worried?

Within reason.

You were incapable of protecting him.

- It was suicide. - Suicide?

A Russian agentjumping out a window is a suicide?

We checked everything. Cameras, security guard...

At 7.00 PM, he got his new passports. New citizenship for his wife and son.

Jumping out the window protects them forever.

- The Russians know? - They haven't said anything.

A guy like him doesn't kill himself

without leaving something for his enemies.

Something damaging that wasn't unearthed.

Something to remember him by for a long time.

How do we proceed?

Guillaume?

What would we do to harm our enemies?

We have to start digging, in case he hid a bomb somewhere.

It won't explode right away.

We're not supposed to see it.

But, we're supposed to come across it. Check the strategic files.

Here they are, in order of priority.

It won't be in the first ones.

T00 obvious.

Between the sixth and the tenth, I'd say.

Classified - DGSE

Karlov will plant a shiny little gem.

It'll be discreet.

In the background.

Not noticeable off the bat.

It'll be an address, a link, a place...

or your name...

Some brilliant analyst will believe he found it on his own.

We'll jump on it.

And be blown to smithereens.

- See you later. - Bye.

Relax, I already knew.

- Have a good day. - You too.

Oh, it's you.

Busy?

No...

I just got home. Wanted to get a few hours' sleep.

So?

Nothing yet. We were at it all night.

Want something? Coffee?

I'll help myself.

It's ready.

How did Guillaume seem to you?

Clear, operational.

A bit annoying.

Typical Guillaume.

You believe in his "bomb" theory?

He knew Kennedy better than all of us.

Until we know what we're selling, all exchanges are on hold.

What?

Even locked up in the countryside, he can shut down a research room.

You don't buy it?

I don't know.

You're running for Ponte's job?

Good news travels fast.

They asked me some questions.

What do you think?

Exactly what I told them.

It's a good idea.

She has field experience. She knows the ropes here.

She can handle pressure...

She checks all the boxes.

I want the truth.

Seriously, she's an excellent candidate.

The whole truth...

You're pissing me off, Raymond.

She tries very hard to suppress her feelings.

Maybe too hard.

Explain.

- If I had to criticize her... - Do it.

Sometimes, she is fighting two enemies at once,

one of them being herself.

What?

Finally, a negative comment. And I've talked to six or seven people.

Thank you. That's exactly what I was waiting for.

For what?

To back her opponent.

It's a really good idea. That's it.

I think it's great.

"Great". ls that what you told them?

You're not backing me'?

Is that why you're here?

Yes.

Where are you from?

N0 understand, Madam.

79 avenue de Ségur

Mass grave - 600 men (burnt alive, shot dead)

Hi, I'm Marina.

Raymond sent me.

Hi, I'm Jonas.

You want to sit?

Will it take long?

I don't know.

You know Iraq?

I know Halabja.

There was a terrible earthquake there in 2017.

OK.

Raymond says you train undercover agents.

More or less.

Is there...

a technique for spotting an agent?

Yes, if he's a bad agent.

He's not.

Someone you know?

No.

You're some agent's stooge?

Well... Boy? Girl?

Does it matter?

Yes.

Girl.

She knows you work here?

Yes, if she's an agent. Otherwise, no.

I've created a protocol to help pick out undercover agents.

But I need to know the exact nature of your relationship.

Camille!

Look at this.

2.41 AM.

It recorded all night.

Yeah, so?

Someone was here. That's all you can say?

Aren't you here to protect me?

I couldn't sleep.

I peed outside and grabbed a yogurt.

Can I ask you a question?

The two of us live here.

If anyone else is walking around, it's likely to be rne.

Why would you assume it was someone else?

We live with our enemies.

We spend time with them. We even like them.

That's what our job is.

I've been doing this forever.

At first, it's exciting.

You feel powerful, in control,

smart, on an adrenaline high...

But befriending bastards turns you into one yourself.

You think you're a bastard?

I destroyed a man's life.

Did you betray him?

Yes.

That's not the problem.

What is, then?

Fear.

When you destroy a man's life,

what usually follows?

He gets revenge.

Usually.

That's what I'd do.

Didn't you say you'd back her?

I did, but I couldn't help saying something nasty.

You really think she's too emotional?

No, I don't. That's the worst part.

I just heard the words slip out of my mouth.

And that spiteful comment.

You know what?

I'm jealous.

Why her and not me?

Where's her peg I697

You think I'm a prick?

You want me to say something nasty?

When you're like this, you drive me crazy.

You'll throw a dinner party.

Her and a few friends.

Don't take notes. Listen to me.

Invite a few people from work.

If she's undercover,

this party will be her chance to catch her first fish.

Vicky.

Maude and Vincent. They're teachers in Bordeaux.

She'll be discreet.

Not too eager, not too distant.

Only one of your friends will interest her.

...married to Simon, who works in a ministry.

Hello.

That's your way of telling her he works for the DGSE.

You're pointing out her prey.

No one will feel she's focusing on your friend from the ministry.

But if you observe her carefully,

you'll see that no one else matters to her.

She'll play the game perfectly.

When we shower, the walls turn yellow.

We just don't know what causes it. Limescale? Cleaning products?

The dune of Pilat!

I knew it! I knew we'd end up there.

- Tell the story! - Last time...

I'm learning things...

Everyone will conclude that she's great company.

Interested, but not intrusive.

She'll keep the right distance.

The next day, they'll speak of her in the past tense.

She was this... She was that...

But one person will use the future tense.

The one with a reason to see her again.

Vicky has a former colleague who worked in Carrare.

Now, he's an expert on marble.

- How perfect! - Isn't that great?

Macarons, anyone?

OK, so...

When an undercover sleeps with someone,

can't they still have feelings?

Sure...

They can.

In fact, it's better if they do.

If not, there's no sex.

Did you ever have any?

Yes, I did.

And I really hurt that person.

Cool.

Turn left, onto Rue du Colonel-Oudot.

Go straight.

You have arrived at your destination.

Camille!

If I were him,

I wouldn't go after an organization or system.

I'd go after the man who betrayed me.

That's who I'd want to destroy.

Are you done?

Yes.

You're sure about this?

Yes.

He'll come after you?

Are you taking notes?

I've noted that you leave no room for doubt.

Your unshakable belief in a time bomb

and revenge from beyond the grave...

Your conviction that Kennedy's death puts you in danger again...

There is some logic to this.

Isn't that what logic does? Create certainty?

No, that would be fantasy.

It's a defense mechanism.

You've replaced an uncontrollable, unclear fear

with one you're more familiar with.

A fear you can identify.

Kennedy.

For example.

It's easier than focusing on what awaits you.

A life with no legend.

A simple life, one where you use your real name.

I understand how scary that must seem.

That's what Nadia says, too.

Really?

Then it must be a conspiracy...

of well-wishers.

I'm going for a walk.

You did a greatjob.

The DGSI will take over from here.

What will they do?

Keep an eye on her.

Learn about her contacts and habits.

It's always better to observe than to arrest.

They'll see how she reacts.

To what?

To your break-up.

You do have to break things off.

Do it carefully. She can't suspect a thing.

Fine... She'll want an explanation.

Tell her you met someone.

Is that credible?

Of course it is.

My love...

Dear Vi...

Vicky...

Our nights and your promises

made me feel fora time that I was above other men.

If only you knew how grateful I am.

And believe it,

if anyone could have saved me, it would have been you.

It breaks my heart to walk away.

But waiting for you to go is even worse.

Let me be proud of having felt like this,

at least once.

Let me say farewell

before you abandon me.

Congratulations.

Accomplice to mass murder, sentenced to death by the Iraqis.

Benjamin?

Marie-Jeanne.

I couldn't miss out on lunch with our future director.

Of course, me neither. Please join me.

It looks like this beauty contest is between you and me now.

They should end the suspense and just flip a coin.

With a little bonus for gender parity perhaps.

You think there's a quota policy?

- Ouch, my ego. - It's a sign of the times.

Even in here.

If so, I'd be honored to serve under your leadership.

The same goes for me.

You know,

in 21 years of service, in the field and for the TD,

I never imagined I'd be considered for this job.

Not once.

That's not why I came to work here.

This is what you think of my leadership?

I have no complaints.

It's just a matter of style.

Your mission statement is very clear.

But strangely, one aspect is missing.

You didn't mention the Bureau.

What do you intend to do with it?

You want the long or the short answer?

Short, if you don't mind.

It should be dissolved.

In that case, give me the long version.

Guillaume, lneed you.

I'm here, Marie-Jeanne.

What's your analysis?

A department that allowed me to become who lam

is a dysfunctional department.

But that's your doing, not the department's.

At one point, you thought you were omnipotent.

We are omnipotent.

If you can destroy people 's lives in a second, you're omnipotent.

That is not power.

Then, what is?

The ability to rebuild.

How do I do that?

How do you do it?

To rebuild, you need ruins.

Otherwise, it's just cosmetic.

Are we truly in ruins?

You're not. But I am.

You'll work it out.

Who gives a shit...

Come in.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

- Hi. - Hey there.

You got your license?

Hello.

Hi.

That's a lot of work, Camille. You sure I can't help out?

It's all worked out.

You'll go for a walk while I cook dinner.

What time do you want us back?

I want no one in my way for two to three hours.

OK.

I thought you hated math.

Me too.

I just needed to work harder.

I locked myself up for six months and passed the exam.

That's amazing!

- When was this? - The exam?

A year ago.

Where do you live?

Didn't you check up on me?

No.

Nice to see you're so interested.

You didn't want to see me or talk to me.

I was just respecting your wishes.

I live with my boyfriend.

- Do I know him? - Not all at once!

When I left, she hated school. Now, she's an economist!

What do you make of that?

Maybe you should leave more often.

How about walking in silence?

Can't take the heat?

Bravo, nice job!

- Time for presents. - Yay, presents!

Thanks for organizing this.

You're very welcome.

- Hi, Marie-Jeanne. - Hi, Guillaume.

I wanted to wish you a happy birthday.

Thank you, Madam Director.

Go ahead, tease me.

I 'd like to get together next week

and chat about you know what.

Sure, let's get together to chat about you know what.

Have a nice evening. Go back to your family.

Thanks, Marie-Jeanne.

Wake up. We're here.

Did I sleep long?

Ever since the tolls.

I'm sorry.

You can drop me here.

No, I'm taking you home.

What are you listening to?

Bach. You like it?

It's beautiful.

It's right up here.

See you soon.

Yeah.

- Good night. - Thanks, you too.

Happy birthday, Pacha.

Get up.

Every0ne's waiting for you.

Watch your step, Pacha.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention?

Your attention, please!

Let's give a warm welcome to our friend,

Pavel.

A round of applause, please.

N0 need for introductions. You'll recognize most faces.

The others are collateral damage.

But who cares, right?

Take a seat.

S0, Guillaume... How are you?

What did you do this time?

Guillaume?

I thought your name was Paul.

No, it's Guillaume.

Sometimes Malotru.

Or Pain-in-the-Ass, but whatever...

I'm Henri.

I'm Anatoly.

Thank you, Guillaume.

For my wife and daughters.

They're beautiful.

He promised to visit them.

And he kept his word.

Friends...

I raise my glass

to Pacha...

who proved to us all

that inside each and every one of us

there was still a drop of goodness,

and who cleverly used that drop

to destroy us.

To Pavel!

To Pavel!

It's crazy...

Now.

Nadia?

Guillaume, my darling...

What are you doing here?

Well...

It's over, my love.

It's all over.
