A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Previously in the Service...
-Am I on board?
-Yes.
What have you done to your hair?
I got it cut!
You look like a boy!
STAMPED
I gave you an order, Merlaux.
If you go near my daughter one more time,
this projector and reel of film
will be given to her.
Morning, son.
Morning, Dad.
-I've met someone.
-That's wonderful!
What's her name?
Sophie Mercaillon.
You should stop seeing her.
We have here names
of Frenchmen who collaborated.
We must never forget about them.
Gentlemen, there is a mole in the Service.
WHEREVER NECESSITY KNOWS NO LAW
TOP SECRET
NATIVE TERRORIST ORGANIZATION
The Code Mole is in place
in all departments, sub-departments,
divisions and sub-divisions,
and offices.
The mole could
be the man at the next desk.
Or even the woman.
The mole could be anybody.
Report any suspicious behavior.
Keep your eyes open!
Be on your guard.
Keep quiet.
France is counting on your cooperation.
A VERY SECRET SERVICE
Stamped.
Double-stamped.
Stamped.
Double-stamped.
Not stamped.
Catch up, Merlaux!
Not stamped again.
Mr Merlaux, you need to catch up.
Do I sign or stamp?
Neither.
Countersign here.
Double-stamped.
Sorry, but... what are we doing?
Stamped.
Double-stamped.
Code Mole, Merlaux, Code Mole.
Code Mole: there's a mole in the Service?
There's a Code Mole.
Stamped.
Double-stamped.
And what happens now?
We finish this, as you've made us late!
Stamped.
Double-stamped.
Yes, but apart from the double
security procedure, what will we do?
Why would we do more?
Makes no sense.
Double-stamping isn't going
to uncover a mole if there is one!
Sorry.
My first Code Mole.
Exactly, Merlaux.
For your first Code Mole,
we have a new instrument to use.
Come and see. All of you.
What sort of device is that?
This "device", as you call it,
is a lie detector.
Lent by our Israeli friends.
Lent? What's the interest rate?
Why have they lent us it?
To help us to find any liars.
Who lies, here?
The mole.
But we're already on Code Mole.
Because this machine
can unearth anything hidden.
It was used at Nuremberg.
Twelve death sentences
by hanging.
US Senator McCarthy
bought a dozen in 1953.
Beria himself brought it to the KGB.
So if anyone here is hiding anything,
anything at all,
and for whatever reason,
this device will reveal it.
Why use a machine to make people talk?
I heard of an electric one
used in Algiers...
Idle gossip!
I'm not having crocodile clips on me!
It's shameful.
Can we see it working?
Oh, that we certainly will.
Stamped.
Double-stamped.
Stamped.
Double-stamped.
Merlaux,
that pen is making everyone jumpy!
But I...
Go for it!
Daft questions all morning:
What's it for? Why are we doing this?
But then...
how will we know...? Christ, Merlaux!
Christ!
I was just signing.
And it's a regulation pen from DSLTO.
You're a pain too!
"Stamped, double-stamped...
"Stamped twice.
"Stamped again!
"Double-stamped again!"
Enough! Enough again!
Double enough again!
It's Code Mole...
Know where you can put your mole?
Stop!
Apologize immediately.
Twice.
What's going on here?
Problems with a pen.
We will all
do the lie detector test tomorrow
and the Colonel has decided to go first
to set an example.
Can we do it twice?
Since it's Code Mole.
It's a polygraph.
It measures electrical resistance
through sweat
here and here.
with those little rubber suckers.
Are you telling me we'll protect France
by making people sweat?
Our Israeli friends
have confounded several enemies...
Our enemies and that baby state's
aren't the same!
Get rid of the thing.
That's going to be tricky.
The agents are very enthusiastic.
If you refuse to use it,
they may think we're hiding something.
Do you think I am?
Neither you nor I, of course, Colonel.
That's why I suggest
we should go first before this machine.
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
André?
I want to confess. I'm... I'm scared, Dad.
Fear isn't a sin.
I'm afraid because I've sinned.
Sinned and lied and betrayed. A lot.
Tomorrow they'll know.
Calm down.
Who did you betray?
The girl I told you about. Sophie.
Her father didn't want you to see her:
that isn't betrayal.
I betrayed him!
I'm still seeing her.
I don't want to stop.
I'll have to tell him.
No, no, you mustn't tell him.
You must lie.
I would, but I can't.
You must.
Sometimes...
truth doesn't take the short path.
Amen.
Amen.
Have you obeyed my order?
Yes.
Have you seen Sophie again?
No.
Have you imagined her in her underwear?
No...
Have you dreamt of taking off her bra?
No!
Seeing her titties?
No!
Her private parts?
-Seeing her private parts?
-No!
Putting your thingy in her whatsit?
No! Noooo!
No! Not in her whatsit!
Have you been waiting long?
Mr Gufflet and Moïse
are preparing the machine.
The Colonel is going first, then it's us.
It'll take ages.
I hate waiting.
Anyway, I never lie.
Nor do we!
But... Clayborn!
She can't go off like that.
It doesn't work.
How can that be?
We must be patient.
Doesn't it work?
Leave it now.
If it doesn't work, it doesn't.
Give it back to the Israelis.
Why would they send us a faulty machine?
It isn't faulty.
It's the Sabbath.
Ah, Mr Blumstein.
Thanks for coming.
We're pleased to help our French friends.
Mr Blumstein has been sent by Mossad
to repair the detector.
That's nice. That's...
elegant.
It's been sabotaged.
An eight mm clamp ring was removed
at 16 minutes past midnight.
So, there's maybe a mole.
-We're on Code Mole!
-Doesn't prove it.
So you can confirm it doesn't work?
It works very well.
Have you repaired it?
We're used to sabotage.
He's so arrogant...
We kindly give them a piece of land
and they want
to teach us about technology!
I'll stay for the first questions
since this is new to you.
What on earth is going on?
Moshe Blumstein, Colonel.
Come to teach you about technology.
Obviously, if you take it out of context!
Who's going first?
Go ahead.
Your occupation?
Confidential.
Do you have children?
Yes, two.
Did you join the Resistance in 1940?
Yes.
Did you help any Jews in the war?
Yes, same as everybody.
Did you in any way
collaborate with the Nazis
or their French sidekicks?
What is this about?
Ask me if I'm the mole,
never mind the war!
Did you take advantage of the war
to despoil any Jews?
This is obsessive!
Some people were obsessed with Jews
for some years.
You don't need a machine to know that!
These questions are for France.
These are anti-France questions,
Mr Boumstein.
Because France resists, France frees,
listens and understands!
I'll have to see.
I'm not afraid of you!
Leave, all of you!
All of you!
You, stay here.
I'm not feeling well. I'd like to go home.
No one budge.
We'll all do it.
Even it takes all the Code Mole time.
Gentlemen, you may leave.
My friend Moshe says it doesn't work.
I confirm: the machine doesn't work.
I knew it!
Let's go.
Let's have lunch. I could eat... a mole!
So why did the mole
sabotage a machine that doesn't work?
Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann
was captured today
in Buenos Aires, Argentina
by a commando
from the Israeli secret services, Mossad
following an anonymous tip-off.
Who possessed this information?
What was given in exchange?
-That is...
-Yes?
Sir...
-Supper!
-Coming.
...confined and given a lie-detector test,
the former SS Obersturmbannführer
known as Riccardo Klement
confessed his true identity.
Clever bastard!
Bastard! Ooh, bastard!
