Stop seeing my daughter.

VERY TOP SECRET
This mission must not fail at any cost.
I entrust it to you alone.
Don't upset or annoy the target
Thank you Soliman.
It's only natural.
APPROVED
That suit!
This blue suit of yours...
What a joke.
Merlaux,
your successful mission crowns
swift and convincing learning.
-Am I on board?
-Yes.

A VERY SECRET SERVICE
I thought I gave you an order, Merlaux.
If you go near my daughter one more time
this projector and this reel of film
will be handed over to her.
Leave.
It's his eyes.
His eyes are...
innocent.
Innocent?
-Not too much, I hope?
-Yes, a bit.
But I like him.
Are you his first?
I think so.
But in any case...
You've never been with a boy?
Not really.
Will he marry you?
I don't know.
If so, you must check him out in bed.
Like clothes: try before you buy!
You can't take a man back.
That's for sure!
Your mother said to cut the ends.
Yes, cut.
Cut?
Cut.
-Cut, cut?
-Cut.
Which of these three is the FLN leader?
Yacef Drif.
Not the leader, the third-in-command.
My lot are all leaders.
In my zone there's only one.
And you say
Drif is going to leave Cairo for Algiers?
It's exceptional,
an opportunity not to be missed.
And it will take all three of you
to keep the peace.
They meet in the Casbah,
In Derb Chtouka. Very tense.
So: no havoc, no noise, no breakage.
Operation Invisible Feather.
You go, you get him, you bring him back.
There and back on Saturday.
Saturday?
This Saturday?
Leaving at 08:00.
We've booked tickets.
I'm on a mission in Cotonou on Friday,
so going again on Saturday...
Me too, Friday,
elsewhere.
-And I...
-Missions suspended!
This is an unhoped-for chance
to get the FLN
and calm things in Algeria.
It's been too long.
Of course, but...
They're just events.
Why not send some other agents?
We always get the best missions.
That's true!
Merlaux, for example, now he's official.
Excellent idea.
He can go too.
The match of the century!
Boniface on top form.
-And we're missing it.
-Be quiet.
And Albaladejo.
You should ask her name.
Help you forget your friend.
I don't want to.
So I can't break it off.
What have you done to your hair?
I got it cut.
It's dreadful!
You look like a boy.
A bit more like my brother?
You don't realize
what you'll be put through!
And what will people say?
What they like.
Like the ad:
"Change your hair, change your life."
Wait!
I hope you behave as you should.
What do you mean?
With that André, you...
haven't done anything silly?
-What sort of thing?
-You know...
You're not a child.
When even such a nice boy
takes an interest in you,
sooner or later
he get thoughts of doing things...
things that are...
dirty.
What dirty things, Mummy?
Well... I don't know.
I don't see what could be dirty.
You're insufferable!
What will Daddy say?
Daddy would love me if I was bald!
Lord,
I've sinned, I know,
I deserve this in atonement.
But I beg,
don't let my little girl go astray.
Moktar, don't switch off,
this'll be quick!
Merlaux, stay there!
Moïse said, "Invisible Feather".
Jesus said, "Love one another".
De Gaulle, "I understand you".
That's enough.
I'm permanent. I'm an agent, like you.
Do you want to get in, Agent Merlaux,
or chat with the natives?
FRENCH ALGERIA
Merlaux,
isn't that your suit?
Looks good on nobody.
I've been thinking about your problem.
It's complicated.
Because not wanting to see someone
doesn't mean you don't.
They have to not want to see you either.
For him
it's the French,
but for them to leave,
they'd have to not want to see him
any more, either.
So, he plants bombs.
So they don't want him.
What's this? We're stuck.
We'll miss the plane.
We miss the match, and then the plane!
What's this chaos?
Arabs are like that.
It's because of the delivery.
Why come this way?
Today is delivery day!
Chickens, sheep, watermelons...
lorries all over the place.
Why didn't you go by Rue Michelet?
This is my town. I do know it!
"Your" town was built by the French.
Hey, watch it.
The Casbah is over a 1,000 years old!
Total chaos, your Casbah is.
A sow couldn't find her piglets!
There's no pigs in Algiers.
There you go, then.
That will do.
Turn round and go by Michelet.
Yes.
There you have it!
Stop that noise, please!
You'll go to my cousin's.
-What?
-And stay till you look human.
You can help her.
Never!
Open this door at once!
Silence!
Good evening ladies and gentlemen.
This is a hijack.
This is a hijack.
Please go back to your seat, Sir.
This is a hijack.
What's that?
A change of direction.
This plane is going to Cardiff, not Paris.
Why?
Are you employed by Air France?
No, no, no.
So how can you decide to change direction?
Could you say that again?
Can you speak to Cardiff?
I'm not too sure I get this hijack thing.
-Maybe we should give him a weapon.
-Right.
Try this. It isn't loaded.
This is a hijack.
By jingo!
Tell our colleague to come here.
You!
Me?
Yes.
-Moulinier?
-No, you stay there. Stay there!
-What's going on?
-It was Moulinier's idea.
Not bad at all.
You making the van change direction
gave me it.
And now what?
Do you like rugby?
Yes.
We're going to Cardiff.
To the Arms Park.
To see the French team stuff Wales.
You're taking over a plane
to see a rugby match?
Why, do you prefer football?
Go on, go on!
What was that?
Down the wing!
Go on!
Algeria is France!
Yeeeaaahh!
The FLN has accomplices in London?
In Great Britain.
Terrorists are everywhere, Colonel.
Their trick failed.
Yacef Drif is locked up awaiting tort...
interrogation.
Speaking of Algiers, I received this:
"Anti-French feeling
has suddenly turned to hatred."
Has it?
Not at all.
It's very quiet.
Journalists exaggerate to make sales here.
You know that.
Indeed. My congratulations, gentlemen.
Saturday was a great day for France.
Because with your - thingy - downjack?
-Hijack.
-Hijack, quite so.
Very good idea, by the way.
Anyway, your hijack
made you miss a great match.
-So we heard.
-Yes.
Serving France comes first.
Always.
The English want an apology
for violating their air space
and threaten not to join the EC.
They can't decide.
No today; yes tomorrow.
Let's not let them spoil things.
Sophie?
Been crying?
You had a haircut.
Don't you like it?
Yes, a lot, but...
I came to tell you that...
Take me somewhere far away, André, please.
Now?
Gentlemen!
Gentlemen,
there is a mole in the Service.
