All language subtitles for Le Bureau Des Legendes s03e03.eng

The seventeen traitors who were arrested

aren't the only ones involved.

They must be executed.

Very well.

It will be done.

Now for the French prisoner.

- The French want to negotiate.
- What are they offering?

Nothing, so far.

First, they want us to film
a video of the prisoner

to prove

that he's alive
and that our intermediary is reliable.

What is this, Abu Hassayn?

The French want the prisoner
to hold it up

in the video.

Some believe the Frenchman is an agent,

sent to assassinate
Abu Toufik Al-Azraq Dakine,

may God protect him, an emir
from one of our northern katibas.

We must make a striking example of him.

We need money for our combat
on the path of God.

And the disbelievers
can be milked for a lot.

Enough!

We make the video.

We negotiate.

We get the money.
Then, we kill the French agent.

Iraq
ISIS-occupied zone

It's not good?

Taste it.

You can't do that.

- My guard made it with love.
- It's disgusting.

What is it?

It still remains a mystery.

Is that why you've stopped eating?

Some people fast.

I'm purifying my body.

This is...

my office area.

With my calendar.

My days in captivity.

69 days.

I've been counting too.

Do they torture you?

Sometimes they rough me up.

But I'm okay.

You didn't eat.

You think we give a shit?

You can drop dead.
We couldn't care less.

Where's the Russian?

Dead?

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Don't worry, he's strong.

Raqqa-Syria
ISIS-occupied city

It's a clean hit...

in the fatty part of your calf.

It bled a lot.
You're very lucky.

What did you want to tell me?

There's a prisoner in my camp.

He's French.

He's not the first
and he won't be the last.

His name is Paul Lefebvre.
Tell them.

I will.

But what you did was stupid.

It wasn't worth
exposing the emergency procedure.

It only works once.

A man can be wounded many times.

Next time you are,
it will put an end to your mission.

You'll stay here a few days.

I'll be back soon.

Mr. Mamoun is here.

- Hello, Nadia.
- Hello.

That's a beautiful map.

My daughter just asked me
what's happening in Syria.

She's eleven.

I tried my best to explain.

Here,

is Bashar al-Assad.

Here in Aleppo,
he's fighting the rebels,

backed by Russia
and the Lebanese Hezbollah.

Over here,

is ISIS.

Up here, the Kurds are fighting them,
with the help of Sunni tribes,

America, France,
and a few Iranian battalions.

There are Sunnis over here,

and Shiites down here.

And here...

are Iranians backing Bashar
against ISIS.

And down here...

is Saudi Arabia,
who supports the rebels

and the islamists who aren't with ISIS.

Did she understand?

No.

And here,

is your conference table.

All these people will sit at it,
one by one,

to tell you

which part of Syria they want,
once ISIS is defeated.

You will take note,
make suggestions and never impose.

Together, we'll come up
with a potential map of Syria.

Your expertise in Syrian history
and geography will be helpful.

The suffering Assad subjected you to
will attract sympathy.

Your moderate stance
will create possibilities.

And you look good

in a hijab.

I'm counting on you.

Why me?

Because they'll be playing hardball.

You're my human shield.

This just arrived by Fedex.

It came with a note.

The rest of your mail is in the file.

Foundation for the Conservation
of Syrian Heritage

With our compliments.

What is it?

A Sumerian statuette in alabaster.

It's 5000 years old.

Where is it from?

I'll leave it on your desk.
It looks nice.

No...

Put it in that cabinet.

The Foundation's office
is currently closed.

Please leave a message.

Hello. You just called the Foundation?

I'm Mazen Chaghouri.
How may I help you?

I thought the Foundation
didn't exist anymore.

It was temporarily closed,
but it's about to become very active.

With the pillaging
in Syria and Iraq these days,

its role will be essential.

Who runs the Foundation today?

Nadia el-Mansour.

Tell him I will not launder his money.

What do you mean?

Just tell him.

May we join you?

Can we talk?

Go ahead.

Do you know him?

Samuel Gendron.

Nadia el-Mansour's assistant.

He works on humanitarian aide
at the Commission with Mamoun.

We need to keep an eye on him.
MAG authorized it.

But he told us to tell you.
So here we are.

Can we put a team on him?

- A team?
- A full one.

8 to 10 babysitters.

Plus a sound crew.

Are you working on Nadia el-Mansour?

Yes.

Relevant to us?

The Iran desk?

Nope.

It could be.

You're making me dizzy.

Either you both sit across from me,
or only one of you talks.

Sorry.

Wouldn't you rather let me eat in peace?

Let's talk later.
I'll stop by.

Sure.

I'll just...

There's nothing between us.

Why would I care?

I don't know...

Unbelievable!

Your cold shoulder works really well.

It does, doesn't it?

It really turns me on.

I'm not giving you the cold shoulder.

You're not?

Well...

What's the relationship
between Gendron and Iran?

It's sexual, for the time being.

He's sleeping with a guy
from the Iranian embassy.

We want to know who's saying what.

If he's spying on Nadia for Iran,
we're interested.

If he's spying on Iran for Nadia,
we're also interested.

- Does that complicate your work?
- It does.

It could even compromise it.

But I'd also like to know more.

If you get caught,
the consequences will be serious.

I understand.

Next time you want something from me,
forget the tag team approach.

You scare me.

I get it.

I'm not free on the 3rd... I can't.

I have lunch with Courtieu, remember?

No, that's too soon.

Suggest the 5th or the 7th.

I'm free from 4 pm onward.

Whatever works best;

Ms. Loiseau?

- I'm Constance Greter.
- Hello.

With this CV, you can work anywhere.

We work with France's best companies,

the ones with true international scope.

They all put their trust in us.

What was Iran like?

Great. Very interesting.

I'd love to go there as a tourist,
for a couple of weeks.

- It looks so beautiful.
- It is.

I assume geographic mobility
is important to you.

Actually,
I'd like to settle down for a while.

A little stability would be nice.

Very well.

The ball's in your court.
I'd love to work with you.

Thank you.

The big room is better.

- Excuse me.
- No problem.

It always goes on for ages.

Let's get it sorted before noon,
so we can move on.

We'll cover it, don't worry.

I'm in an elevator.
I'll call you back later.

Speak to you later.

- Hi, sorry about that.
- Hello.

What was that?

You try. Maybe you'll have better luck.

- What now?
- Press the alarm button.

Hello, we're stuck in the elevator.

Can you give the reference number?

It's XZ-4556.

- 43 Rue de la Coutellerie?
- Yes.

- How many are you?
- Two of us.

Children? Pregnant women?

Say yes.

No.

I'll contact our emergency department.

They'll be with you
in 15 to 60 minutes maximum.

As quick as possible, please.

I'm missing an appointment.

I'm sorry, I have no signal.

This is a first for me.

Me too.

Looking for work?

Yes.

You too?

Philippe Sieca.

I'm a recruiting consultant for Lincoln.

I propose candidates,
depending on their needs.

An intermediary's intermediary.

I guess you could say that.

And you?

I'm a seismologist.
Marina Loiseau.

- And you're job-hunting?
- I am.

I just returned from abroad.

Where were you?

Iran.

Pretty country, isn't it?

What? It isn't?

It's beautiful,
and very fashionable these days.

And surely very interesting
for seismologists.

Well, a seismologist who knows Iran...

definitely interests me.

What do you mean?

An easy profile
to place in the work market.

Are you okay?

It's time to get out of here.
I'm starting to suffocate.

Hello?

We've been waiting for 45 minutes.

I'm claustrophobic.
I'm having a panic attack.

And I'm having a nosebleed.

I'm really not okay.

Sir, please calm down.
The technician will arrive shortly.

Sir?

I'm not well.
I'm flipping out.

The technician will be there any minute.

Okay, thank you.

It's the Secretary General
of the El-Mansour Foundation.

I didn't get his name.

Okay.

Hello?

You don't want your friend
to be released?

Not if I have to get involved
in your smuggling.

I just want you to safeguard
a few pieces

in your foundation's name.

My foundation isn't a laundromat.

In that case,
you and your friend Paul Lefebvre,

can say goodbye
to the talks I facilitated.

Fine. Goodbye.

Remember when
you wouldn't finish your plate?

You'd go out on the doorstep
to finish it up.

It would take ages.

I remember.

We had a neighbor,

a seamstress.

Mrs. Lefebvre, on the fourth floor.

She was shocked to find you
sitting on the doormat,

with your plate,

like a dog.

Poor baby.

She would finish it for me.

Did She?

We had our little system.

She'd walk by,

eat my food, hug me

and leave.

I would wait.
Then I'd go back inside.

You did look like a dog.

I was happier outside than at home.

And you behaved like a dog.

Like now.

You have no dignity!

You whine
and drag yourself on the floor.

Eat!

Eat, you dog!

You dog!

You worried about me?

I'll cut you open and stuff the food in.

Escogriffe is connected to the YPG,

the armed wing of the PYD,

the Syrian branch of the PKK.

Sorry for all the acronyms,

but that's how the Kurds do things.

Wounded,
she's even more interesting.

She can't fight anytime soon,
so she could be a liaison officer.

She could be in contact with

Syrian, Iraqi, Turkish
and even Iranian Kurds.

The PKK
and its various political factions.

What's your relationship with her?

We were married by a sniper.

Other than that?

I saved her life over there.

I saved her leg
by bringing her here for treatment.

She owes me.

Enough to betray her country?

The French resistants who worked

with US and British secret services
during the Occupation

weren't betraying their country.

It's not betrayal.
To help us is to help the Kurdish cause.

- Is she married?
- No.

Her son's father died in combat in 2014.

A widow...

When do you see her?

She was just admitted to the hospital.

I'll wait until after her surgery.

Very good.

Excuse me.

Don't you think Escogriffe's handler
should be a woman?

She's not like
our other undercover agents.

She's not a professional.

She may be more comfortable
with a woman.

What we're asking is touchy.

It may rattle her.

She shouldn't feel abandoned by Raymond.

We need to maintain
an atmosphere of trust.

You were "married by a sniper"?

I'd have joked about it
even if you weren't there.

- I don't see why...
- Oh, I see.

Stop it.
People expect me to make jokes.

Will you screw her too,
to gain her trust?

Of course.

You'd do the same thing.

Seriously,
you think I'd sleep with my agents?

- You've only handled men.
- How do you know?

I didn't.
I was testing you.

Were you?

You think I'd fall into that trap?

You never know,
with all the excitement...

You don't know me very well.

I can be very excited
and very professional.

Before you screw her,
tell me first.

I haven't been entirely upfront
with you.

You haven't?

I said I had a job to discuss with you.

I do have a proposal for you.

But I'd rather lay my cards
on the table.

What do you mean?

I work for the DGSE.

The Directorate-General
for External Security.

French Intelligence.

- You're joking.
- I'm not.

I've been sent to make contact
and propose a collaboration.

- With the DGSE?
- Yes.

Why me?

Seismology is strategic.

You have access to people and data
that interest us.

You could help us.

You're a SPY?

Not really.
We call ourselves "agents", not "spies".

I'm an intelligence agent.

I'd be one too?

You'd be a collaborator.

Can I think about it?

Of course.

Directorate-General
for External Security...

Is this a test?

Since I don't work for you anymore,

please tell me.
It's a test, right?

No, it's not a test
and he's not one of ours.

Who would do such a thing?

For starters,

not the Americans or Iranians,
who know you work for us.

"Worked" for you.

Other than them,

anyone could try to recruit you.

That's a lot of people.

A seismologist returning from Iran
is a rare commodity.

You interest people.
It's only normal.

What do I do?

What do you mean?
Are you waiting for my instructions?

I don't know.

You don't work for us.

I know.

Their contacting you
means your legend has held up.

You're just a seismologist,
back from Iran.

So everything's fine.

Absolutely fine.

An iron-clad legend.
Philippe Sieca, 100% French.

Went to Sciences-Po,
has a master in HR.

Worked at L'Oreal,
then as a technical consultant for EOA

before starting
his own strategic sourcing firm.

What is "sourcing"?

Let's say "identification".

In Human Resources terms,

it refers to a process designed

to identify profiles that correspond
to a client's needs.

We've got nothing.

Not true.

Our Mr. Sieca goes to Bucharest
every two months.

Officially, to gamble.

Bucharest?

Also known as "little Las Vegas".

Mossad agents
like to meet their handlers there.

Mossad agents?

Mr. Sieca, in any case.

The Mossad...

They have special blackjack rules
in Bucharest.

Up to 4 hand splits.

Thank you, Jonas.

Val de Grace Hospital

You don't like French cuisine?

Just kidding.

Hospital food is always disgusting.

Better than yours?

You love my cooking.

No, I lied.

I can tell you're better.

You'll be out soon.

I hope so.

My son is worried.

What if we brought him here?

Why?

For you. For him.

No, you've done enough.

Go back to work.

That is my work.

What, bringing my son here?

He could go to school in Paris.

Go to university here, later on.

You're a good Samaritan, these days?

I'm taking advantage
of your weakened condition.

Tell me...

You'll go back.

Not to the frontline,
because you're wounded.

We'll work to find the best job for you.

For you, us and the Kurds.

For the Kurds?

Kurdish autonomy
is in France's interest.

In the interest of the region.

So we need people like you.

You're the one
who will handle things?

That's the thing...

You'll see a lot of me.

We've tapped Samuel Gendron's phone.

They're in Nadia el-Mansour's office.

Who is "they"?

Raqqa can't be left to the Sunnis.

We'll free the city,

with our Hezbollah friends.

What happens if Syrian democratic forces
make it there first?

Two bits of information:

1. Gendron speaks fluent Farsi.

2. Nadia is officially receiving

every player in the Syrian conflict.

I heard she was meeting everyone

with a view to organizing
informal bilateral talks.

She's preparing the post-Bashar era,
with people who are sworn enemies.

She's creating a kind of network.

If Iran,

Hezbollah, the Alawites,
basically the Shiite axis,

come to her table,
she's of interest to us.

You can't touch her, for now.

My mission takes priority.

You do nothing.

Priority for whom?

For MAG.

Are you sure?

The Deputy Director of Intelligence,

for Marie-Jeanne Duthilleul.

I like it when we work together.

Stop playing games.

Stay away

from Nadia el-Mansour.

The Complex Middle East.

Mrs. Anselem, something to drink?

I'm fine, thank you.

Thank you, Samuel.

No news from our friend Shahanah?

No.

That's very strange.

We freed the preacher.

They know it.
But they haven't sent us a signal.

Any explanation?

What is that?

The right question is
"where did it come from"?

And?

From looting in Tell Asmar.

Your "friend" Shahanah
wants to send me more.

Probably more valuable pieces.

He wants me to safeguard them
through my foundation,

until he finds buyers.

In other words,

he's asking me to be his receiver.

That's his price
for being an intermediary.

You refused.
That's why we have no news.

Then I'm the one
paying the intermediary.

Not you.

Not your government.

Me!

Find yourself another intermediary.

Shahanah's all we have, for now.

He demands your presence.
We have no choice.

What then?

I'm forced to accept?

And compromise myself with him?

We can try go go around him.

But it will take time.

Until then, if they reach out to us,
we have to reply.

I'm sorry...

I can't do it.

You have important things to accomplish.

I know this is complicated for you.

I think we can minimize
ShahanaHs potential to be harmful.

But dealing
with someone like him is risky.

It means getting dirty.

So I understand your dilemma.

You're the only one who can decide.

I know.

Goodbye, Nadia.

One spoonful for Daddy.

One for Mommy.

And one for me.

A spoonful for Prune.

You'll die, Daddy.

Damn you.

The Mossad?

It's flattering, right?

You're a brilliant engineer
with contacts in Iran.

And you have no ties to Israel.

Except for a schoolgirl fling.

It limits the risk
of it leading back to them.

And if I'm arrested?
I think I'm working for the DGSE?

There are two options.

Either you don't call them back,

and we let it go.

It just goes away on its own.

Or I accept.

You dive back in.

I start to work for the DGSE again,

and pretend to work for the Mossad,
disguised as the DGSE.

The Mossad's plan is what's interesting.

The last time they recruited in Paris

through one of their French agents,

the plan was to destroy
a nuclear plant in Iraq.

You found out about it?

Later on.

- Too late.
- What if you'd known sooner?

We'd have prevented it,

or collaborated,
or denounced them.

Maybe even negotiated.

- Either way...
- It would have been better.

So...

either you accept and let us know,

or you don't accept.

What do you think?

That's irrelevant.

What matters is what you think.

I'm asking for your advice.

Come back home.

We miss you.

And I'm pretty sure you miss us too.

Why is that?

You're here, in this hideaway.

You know why?

You want to know, too.

Why do you care?
You could ignore it, let it go.

But you don't.

You want to understand.
You want it to be helpful.

You want to work in Intelligence.

People don't change, Marina.

They just put on different clothes.

You're quoting Celine Dion.

"We don't grow up,

"we just get a little taller."

Let's say I agree.

How do we communicate?
Do we have meetings?

There are communication protocols.

For now, what's important is you.

Are you interested?

I need to know what it is,
to know if I'm interested.

Just do your normal job,
like you always have.

No stunt work.

But you'll have even more incentive.

I Will?

Because you'll be working for France.

What if I have to do something specific?

Like remember a code.

I may not manage.

Normally, I would.
But in this case, I might panic.

If you worked in Iran,

you'll do fine with our protocols.

I'm not worried
about the technical aspects.

What information
am I supposed to give you?

Seismic curves
are pretty much all I know.

For now, just send us reports
on what's going on.

Never anything dangerous.

No stealing documents,
taking photos or eavesdropping.

That's only in the movies.

So what else is involved?

There's a conference on seismology
coming up in Azerbaijan.

Several delegations will be there.
You could attend.

That's it?

We're hiring you for who you are.

A seismologist with experience in Iran.

The rest is our affair.

- You know our values?
- No.

Loyalty.

High standards,

discretion

and versatility.

When are you leaving?

Soon.

She'll go back and get settled in,

and then I'll follow.

You like this, don't you?

It's not like I really have a choice.

You're doing it for France.

To make the world a little less shitty.

I guess so.

You actually believe that?

You fool.

So why am I doing it?

Because you love it.

You love charming women into bed.
It reassures you.

And you can say you did it for France.

You hide behind the flag.

"I don't really have a choice".
Own it!

- Own what?
- That you're a horny bastard.

I am not!

I can take it.
Don't think I'm stupid.

Last year, before you went to Syria
with Mother Teresa,

what did you tell me?

"I like that girl".

Let me tell you something.

Whenever I see or feel
your prosthetic leg,

it reminds me that if
you hadn't wanted to screw her,

you'd have seen she was using you.
You'd have your leg!

I'm not the only one who didn't see.

I know.

Raqqa - Syria
ISIS-occupied city

Are you really a doctor?

No, I just want to touch your ass.

Did you talk to them?

Yes.

And?

There's only one person
who matters to us:

you.

You are our treasure.

Get dressed.

What about the Frenchman?

You can't risk blowing your cover.

You can't do anything for him.
It's too dangerous.

You can't help him.

I'm not sure he'll leave me alone.

Deceive him.

Reassure him.

And get yourself reassigned
to a different camp.

Tell your boss
you want to fight elsewhere.

How do I deceive him?

Give him this.

He should always carry it on him.

Tell him you spoke to us

and that the FSB
will definitely free him.

Tell him it's a matter of weeks.

If he doesn't buy it?

- Why wouldn't he?
- He's an agent.

He's deceived people before.

He knows the drill.

He'll believe you.
You know why?

Tell me.

Because you're giving him hope.
And hope springs eternal.

That's a French proverb.

Think of your family.

You can get through this.

You haven't seen it in ages.

The sun.

Put on your party clothes.

Today's your big day.

Are you ready?

Give him the paper, please.

Lower, below your chest.

That's good.

What are you looking at?

You understand?
Speak loud and clear.

Articulate.

Think of your parents

and your children.

They'll see this video.

Okay, let's go.

Now!

I am Paul Lefebvre.

Today's date is

the 17th of Muharram, 1438.

October 18th, 2016,
for the disbelievers and hypocrites.

Yesterday, the PSG infidels beat Rennes,

3 goals to 1,
in a celebration of perversity.

I hereby declare
that Allah is the greatest

and the only...

What the hell is this?

Stay focused.

Let's go.

I am Paul Lefebvre.

Today is the 17th of Muharram, 1438.

October 18th, 2016,
for the disbelievers and hypocrites.

That is good.

Slowly.

You eat, you pray.
You eat, you pray.

And the miracle will come.
