You think people will nick those?

No one even likes those,
they're too dry.

You can't eat one in
less than 15 seconds.

Rachid Benarfa worked in Algiers
as an investment manager.

Sahel Islamic State
have used social media

to claim they are behind the kidnapping.

This has been confirmed by
the Ministry for Foreign Affairs...

How long have you known?

Good morning.

I find out from the TV...

These are the most recent reports
from the China and Turkey offices.

Thank you.

We found out last night.

The Algerians took our agent
and gave him to terrorists!

A correction, if I may.

He handed himself over to the Algerians.

But yes, now he's in the hands of
Sahel Islamic State.

And we're just going to let it happen?

We'll know soon.

Thank you.

How long?

Two minutes, sir.

Would you like coffee, sir?
No, thank you.

Right, shall we start with Libya?

No, let's get straight in there.

Apparently they would
like to make an offer.

I should hope so.

Ten seconds. Get ready.

Good morning, gentlemen.

How are you, General?

I'm well, thank you.

Recovered from your beating?

Does one ever forget being robbed?

Next time,
I'll make sure I'm on the pitch myself.

Did the ball touch his hand,
or did his hand touch the ball?

God only knows.

Unfortunately for the Algerian people,

God is not an international referee.

And how are you, Pierre?

I won't lie. We're worried.

But perhaps you're in
a position to reassure us.

I've been instructed by the Algerian
government and intelligence services

to offer you our most sincere apologies.

Naturally we'll do
everything in our power

in support of your operative's release.

I don't understand, General.

How could such an operation
have taken place

without the DRS,
your intelligence services, knowing?

It was a local initiative which
unfortunately escaped our attention.

This is a windup.

Perhaps it will be easier
to understand if I remind you

that we were unaware of your
agent's presence in our country.

Either way, by way of compensation,

we would like to offer to share with you

the information we receive

from our mole within the group
which now holds your...

Your Cyclone.

I'll send you a sample of
the information he provides us with.

You will see that it is

very valuable.

If I understand correctly,

you're saying the Algerians
are offering to help us

negotiate the release of a hostage

that one of their own agents
helped to kidnap.

Yes, that's what he's suggesting.

And this sort of information is enough

for us to go along with this masquerade.

It would seem so.

I see.

Is your canteen as
good as it used to be?

There's a new currency going
round the world at the moment.

It's called JiDa.

Do you know what that is?
Jihad Data.

Yes, Jihad Data.

From the Jihadist Syrian networks.

Everybody wants to
get their hands on it.

The Americans,
the Russians, the Iranians.

The Syrians, of course.

If you can pay in JiDa,
you can buy whatever you like.

Are you saying
the ministry will accept this deal?

I'm saying they'll understand
exactly what's being offered to us.

A JiDa goldmine.

Is this yours or his?

His.

On the other hand, a razor's a razor.

So?

What did they say?

The ministry's taking the deal.

But we're not.

We're going to play the game.

A crisis committee will deal with the
hostage situation with Algerian help.

Officially we'll be above reproach.

Another country cannot be permitted
to use an agent of ours in this way.

There's probably a way of finding out
where Cyclone is.

Has Lefkir's mole told him?

Which means
you might be able to find out, too.

Your mission hasn't changed.

Get Cyclone back to us.

Malotru, as long as this
is done discreetly, you're fine.

If you fail, we all do.

No pressure.

Right, we'll let you finish cleaning up.

See you later.

And Nadia El Mansour?

Have you heard anything?

Do want us to find out?

I feel responsible.

We all have a cross to bear.

Hello?

Mr Lefebvre?

There was a call for you.

They wanted to leave a message
rather than speak to you directly.

Who was it?

She didn't give her name.

A woman?

Yes, a woman.

What's the message?

She said she tried to
call you on your mobile

but no one was picking up.

And?

That's all.

Thank you.

Hello?

1 new message unknown number

opening message

Everything around you begins to crumble.

Everything gently crumbles.

Until you're surrounded by ruins.

And that's your final punishment.

Being the only survivor

surrounded by your victims.

I feel like strange things
are about to happen.

Strange things?
Yes.

Like baobab trees growing in Paris.

Baobabs?
Yeah.

Like in The Little Prince.

Right, I think I'm wasted.

What do you do?

You've asked me that 15 times already.

I'm a seismologist.

Hello.

Do you understand or shall I explain?

Seismology is when we have earthquakes.

I know what it is.

Ever seen a seismic wave?

I'll show you if you like.

Come with me and I'll show you
how to make seismic waves.

You work for the French, don't you?

You approached Mortazavi
when he was in France

so he would bring you back with him.

Answer me.

Drink.
No, no more.

Drink!

Tell me everything and
we'll stop this now.

You still have a few neurons left.

There's nothing...

You're still lying to me.

She can't hold her alcohol,
but she did stick to her alias.

They're here.

How many?
There's one on the roof.

There are also two cars with three men.

Okay.

Who's next?

It's been cancelled.

They're here.

Yes, but it's cancelled.

Chacal's not coming?

Not this time.

What about communications?
You can open them up again.

The Americans are shutting Felis down.

I know.
They say it's no longer stable.

One of our agents was kidnapped
in that area.

How do they know there's a link?

Is it possible someone
told them about Cyclone?

No.

Right, this is Sahel Islamic State.

They have Cyclone.

Within the group is a mole
working for General Lefkir.

The mole is in contact with
the General's office.

How? Not via Internet.

It's too risky for him to use GPS,
a computer, or anything like that.

We're pretty certain
he leaves messages at a dead drop.

Where? When?

If we find out,
we'll be able to contact him.

This is a list of
all the people in Lefkir's office.

Some of them will have
the answers we need.

We need to find
the one who'll give them to us.

Good luck.

Thank you for your team.
A pleasure.

Would you like an update
on Marina Loiseau?

I've read your reports.

Will you speak to her before she goes?

I have a lot to do, but I'll try.

Guillaume.

What? Want to show me photos?

No.

When are you going to
tell Henri Duflot the truth?

When I've got Cyclone back.

Are you serious?
Yes.

That's how you expect
to wriggle out of this?

Wriggle out of what?

What do I need to wriggle out of?
The inevitable consequences.

Colonel.

Your office doesn't suit you, Henri.

Really?

No, I find it a bit grim.

That looks like something from
Roche Bobois in the '70s.

Roche Bobois.

It sounds like a code name.

Not as chatty as you used to be,
are you?

You're probably right.

You don't joke any more.

I can email you a joke a day.
I subscribe to a web page.

There we go.

Tell me, how's Emilie?

She's very well.

Does she still run her plastics shop?

Plastic City, yes.

Going well?
Sensationally.

How's her brother?

Well, the last we heard.

When was that?

The day before yesterday.

Communications are back then.
Yes.

Do you know why?

No.

Because Felis has been shut down.

I didn't know.

The Americans decided to shut it down.

They felt something was up.

Your agent who's been taken hostage
has made everyone in Sahel nervous.

They weren't happy and they've
decided to postpone indefinitely.

They don't know it's our agent.

I think they do.

And you think I'm behind that.

You think I'm in contact
with the Americans.

Someone may be passing
information to the Americans.

Colonel,

Cyclone's disappearance
has had a marked effect on me.

Obviously I feel responsible
for what has happened to him.

I understand I'm to be blamed
in one way or another.

I'm in charge of a team
which has lost one its men.

Yes, I've lost my sense of humour.

Yes, I don't sleep well.

But for you to think I am disloyal...

I just don't know what to say to that.

If I meant you,
I wouldn't be here in your office.

It's possible there's been a leak.

It's not a certainty.

I don't want to inflict
one crisis on another today.

Certain people know
about Felis and Cyclone.

They're not all part of the DGSE.

I'd like you to be on your guard.

If you think you know or suspect
who it might be, tell me.

I'll put the Ministry
for Security onto it.

We're all on edge.

Was it you who wanted to work
for the DGSE?

No, they found me.
I hadn't thought about it.

What did you want to do?
Go to the School of Engineering.

But what did you want to do afterwards?

I don't know.

Do you know why they recruited you?

I'd rather not answer that question.

Why?

Because it's narcissistic and
therefore not very helpful.

But have you ever thought about it?

Of course.

So please answer the question.

Because of your intelligence?

Your psychometric tests
show that you are very bright,

as you know.

Is it because of particular qualities
you have?

Your precision? Your self-control?

Is it because you're loyal?

Because you adapt easily?

Because you're thorough
and you're discreet?

Because I'm a soldier.

You don't seem like a soldier.

That's why I'm good.

I'm an unarmed soldier.

I seem innocent and the country I'm from
appears to be at peace.

It's important you talk to me.

Did you know we'll be
talking to each other once a month?

Marie-Jeanne told me.

Do you know why?

To check I'm doing okay.

So I don't ruin my mission
because I'm homesick.

It's important to the DGSE that we talk

because you're not alone in this.

You're an airline pilot.

Behind you in the plane
there are 200, 300 lives.

That's why I need to be sure
everything's okay,

because if there's anything wrong
you could bring everyone down.

And I'm here so that doesn't happen.

Can't Doctor Balmes sort it out?

She's busy and
you're the best person for the job.

The worst person, you mean.

She needs someone who understands her.

She's in shock from the images
she saw on TV. You understand that.

Of course I do.

Well, then.

Raymond, this is Mrs Benarfa,
Rachid's mother.

Mrs Benarfa,

Raymond Sisteron is close to your son
and understands the situation.

He's going to try and reassure you
about our getting him out.

I would have liked to talk about it
with you myself, but unfortunately...

Right, first of all, I'll explain what
we know about your son's kidnapping.

Then our communications officer
will come and talk to you about...

Who are you?

I was his contact until
his disappearance.

Were you his friend?

Well, I was very close to him.
We spoke every day.

I don't know if I was his friend.

No, not exactly,
because we're colleagues, but

I watched over him.

Then how did this happen?

You seem happy.

I'm in love.
Really?

We're all in love.

We love this guy, he's perfect.

Remember, working for General Lefkir
is like going to Oxbridge.

Afterwards you can get a high-ranked,
well-paid job anywhere in government.

Working for Lefkir gives
you a golden First.

You work closely with
him for four years,

and if you prove your loyalty,
all your career wishes are granted.

That's why Lefkir has people
devoted to him everywhere.

Jamel Ayich.

A farmer's son.

He met Lefkir in the army,
and Lefkir kept him close.

He's worked for him ever since.

He's never asked for anything,
but he's always wanted recognition.

He's never got it.

He's the only one
still close to Lefkir after 13 years.

All the others found jobs, but he stayed

and he's never been promoted.

So?

He has an axe to grind.

Every secretary will tell you

he complains he's never been invited
for lunch with Lefkir.

Djamila zadi has sent you
a friend request on facebook

Accept request

Are you at home?

Yes

Alone?

Yes. Are you?

We've got a leak at home

Who is this?

Who do you think?

No names

I don't know

I have a new secretary...

Now do you know who i am?

Yes

Does he think it's Lefkir?

I think so.

Someone's betraying us.

Who?

I don't know i no longer trust anyone

I'm putting together a
new team starting tonight

Everything has to change

What do you want me to do?

You'll head up the new team

Who else knows about this?

No one.

And no one must know except you and me.

You're the only one I trust.

Thank you for trusting me

Tomorrow you will meet
a member of the new team.

Understood

Be in the all�e des platanes in the the
Jardin d'Essai tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.

They will come to you.

Got it

You'll each recite some poetry
I will send, to recognise each other.

Okay

You'll fill them in

on our communication methods
with our undercover operatives.

Don't forget our agent in Sahel.

Okay

Great. Right, send him the poem.

I'm sorry. I'm waiting for someone.

Yes. Me.

Standing at the school gate,

the girls were ablaze
with roses and thyme.

They sang the song of the sand,

they became enfolded
in the ultimate embrace.

What's that?

What's this for?

I think you have a message.

General Lefkir won't be pleased
about your betrayal.

Even if you tell him you were tricked,

he won't trust you any more.

You'll be the team's weakest link
and he doesn't like weak links.

It would be best for you to disappear
without telling anyone.

BOOKS FOR MUM

It's me.

Want to go running?

My place.

Bring some food, will you?

I haven't got anything.

Just one can of beer. For you.

Okay.

You leave tomorrow morning, then?

For long?

What difference does that make?

If I'd known,
I'd have brought you a present.

Like what, a ring?

I don't know.
But more than just a pizza.

I don't know.

Sushi? Something a bit classy.

A keepsake.

No one needs those.

Okay.

We've never spent the night together,
let's not start tonight.

It was nice.

Short.

But nice.

Right, well...
Got everything?

Yes.

Take your coat off.

Have you had breakfast?
No.

Thank you.

Everything?
You can keep your pants and bra on.

Great.

Did you get hold of the landlady?

We're meeting on Saturday
to do the inventory.

You'll like it there.

It feels quiet.

Much better than my place.

Here. Handbag, please.

Say goodbye to your phone.

Here's your new one.

You've put my mum's landline in there.
I never used to have it.

Can I ask you something?

Now's the time.

Did Simon send reports to you?

Does it matter?

I think he did.

It wasn't the plan,

but when you realised we were
seeing each other, you asked him to.

If he did, they were glowing,
or you wouldn't be leaving.

It was just to see if I was right.

He really liked you.

I don't think he liked doing reports.
The ones he did for me, I mean.

Grandpa, our little girl's
got her clothes back on.

Go get Henri Duflot and
tell him we're done.

Come here.

Things being as they are,

I haven't had time to prepare a speech.

But I wanted to say goodbye.

Goodbye and good luck.

We have every faith in you.

Thank you, sir.

You're so young.

Thank you.

Travel broadens the mind

and today you start a journey that is
both an important and a long one.

And when your mission is over,

in two years, or six years,
or ten years,

I may not be here.

Sir,
that's a little pessimistic for a party.

I mean I won't be at the DGSE.

I'll still be alive, touch wood.

But I won't be here to welcome you back.

It doesn't matter.

It's not the people that matter,
it's the missions.

To the dismantling of
Iran's nuclear weapons.

And to youth.

Hello.
Hello.

Right...

Thank you.

Tehran via Tbilisi.

There you are. Have a good trip.
Thank you.

Is he closely watched?
No, but he's never alone.

What are the risks?

If the operation fails,

we risk our contact being
discovered and kidnapped as well.

Or killed there and then.

And if the operation is a success,

the biggest risk is that the mole
panics and abandons his mission.

What would that change for Cyclone?

Not much.

His situation's so bad right now,
it can't get much worse.

But there'll be no more JiDa.

But what would we gain?

Cyclone comes home
and we offer reassurance

to everyone who works for us.

Right.

Explain the operation to me.

Lefkir's mole will be driving a pickup.

He drives and gets food supplies
once a week.

He goes to a scrap heap
on the edge of Bordj Badji Mokhtar

near the border with Mali.

They pick up food,
kerosene and spare parts.

This scrap yard is a dead drop.

There's always an old man there.

If he's leaning on a stick,
it means the area is secure,

that the supplier has been
and the provisions are there.

If the old man isn't there,
or doesn't have a stick,

they leave immediately.

If everything goes to plan,

the mole enters the building first
to check the provisions.

Hello.

It's at that point, when he's alone,
that we could get a message to him.

Stop!

You stay at the wheel.

They're nervous today.

They've changed their routine
because of the hostage.

I know you work for General Lefkir.

If I tell your friends,
what will they do to you?

They'll cut my throat.

They'll make you talk first.

If you do this, the hostage is dead.

No. The hostage
will still be worth something.

Bu you won't be worth anything.

What do you want?

On this piece of paper
are GPS coordinates

for where you need to bring the hostage.

How will I do it?

Find a way.

The hostage must be there
in a week's time.

Or they'll be told who you work for.

Lefkir will kill me.

Lefkir isn't here.

You're not dealing with him any more.

Right now you're dealing with me.

Or them.

I know I'm not supposed to,
but I'd like to ask you something.

Go ahead.

Do you think you'll get Cyclone back?

Do you know him?

Of course, we all know him. Even me.

What do you know?

I don't have the highest
authorisation level,

but I've seen and heard a lot.

I try really hard not
to understand anything.

Sit down.

Cyclone is being held
by a Salafists group.

Sahel Islamic State.

He's being held
somewhere near the Mali border.

They will probably ask for a ransom
in exchange for his freedom.

We think the Algerian secret service
gave Cyclone to these terrorists

to help an undercover agent
of their own seem credible.

They say this all stems
from a maverick act

by General Lefkir.

They've apologised for the operation
which they say wasn't planned.

We don't believe them,

but we're playing along
so they don't get suspicious.

Come and see.

in negotiations to liberate Cyclone.

And the Algerians have offered

to share the information
they get from their mole.

So while officially we are
trying to contact the kidnappers,

we're also trying to identify the mole.

Rim?

We forced a man working for Lefkir

to tell us how he communicates
with the mole.

We found out they communicated

via a scrap heap in the
middle of the desert.

The idea is to put pressure on the mole

so that he finds a way to bring
the kidnappers and Cyclone

to a place where we could potentially
attempt a rescue mission.

That's it.

The final punishment.
Being the only survivor.

The last man standing,
surrounded by your victims.
