Au service de la France (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Quand l'Eau Est à 12 Degrés, On Doit S'Attendre à Ce Qu'Elle Soit Froide - full transcript

The Colonel orders his henchmen to take out André, Marie-Jo uses her baking to gather intel, and a delegation from Quebec asks the agency for help.

Eliminate this man.

Moïse?

No!
We haven't eliminated an assistant director,

big resistant, category A,
without being noticed.

It's the other one, the young man.

The other young man.

The young man only has one.

Sure, of course.

Officially, he's dead.
This should make his task easier.

Sure, of course,
it'll be very easy to eliminate a dead man.

Hurry up.
It is urgent.



Andre?

You could knock.

What have you done with Mercaillon?

-I made sure he let you go.
-I didn't need you.

I told him not to do anything.
It's amazing you don't obey.

Don't worry. Don't worry.
I have regained control of the situation.

What control? You have no idea.

Can't you vent this board?
It smells like a goat in the air.

Now that he knows
that you're not dead,

you're dead.
And this mess!

-What a mess!
-The room is mine.

But it's my house
until proven otherwise.

What a bag!

-You risked yourself for nothing.
-It wasn't for nothing. Let's see.



How's that? We have no proof
none against him. Nor the dossier.

There will never be a trial.
It's over, he won.

Are the hooks for the dogs?

A good agent never
you abandon a mission.

You're the one who taught me.

A good agent knows when to shut down
a mission doomed to failure.

A good agent knows how to adapt
to the setbacks of the situation.

A good agent knows when to organize
your life and collect your dirt

without telling yourself
that someone will do it for him.

Where's my France-Soir?

There's only one solution.

Let's take him out.

The head of one of the major services
secret of the world and father of your fiancée?

What are you gonna tell your kids?
"Grandpa died because Dad killed Grandpa.

because Grandpa tried
kill Daddy?"

Henri, do you bite?

What do you propose?

-We're not giving up?
-No, let's wait.

-He'll get seniority.
-Seniority?

Yeah, he's not far from retirement.

I'll take his place.
and I can reintegrate you.

Oh, my God, that's petty!

You just want to assume
his place.

He's just a bureaucrat.

Who do you think you are
to tell me that?

I'll tell you what.
You're a bad agent,

inconsequential,
irresponsible and chaotic.

Don't think I'm an idiot, sir.
Moise.

Ever since France voted yes...
for the general, he's in jubilation.

However, this joy is

stained by bad news.

Mr. Gomez, Category A executive,
step four,

director of financial management
and accounting, he won't be coming back from Touquet.

While collecting shells
at low tide at Stella-Plage,

he suffered a shock.

-That's horrible.
Non-respect of the regulatory deadline

four hours after lunch
before any contact

with an aquatic environment.

That's what happens when rules
and regulations are ignored.

Collect shells disrespecting
the most elementary procedures,

put the service at risk,

put France at risk

and we can pay
with his own life.

That goes for shells,
mussels,

knives and mollusks.

It's valid for high and low tide.

It's valid for any aquatic environment,
...it's worth all means.

It's true for Gomez and all of us.

Gentlemen, when the water
is at 12 degrees,

we should know that it will be cold.

In application of the general code
of the State civil service,

Gomez will be punished posthumously.

Which is pretty normal.
This is justified.

Rules are rules.

He shall be appointed as successor to the office,
the substitution procedure,

Mr. Schmidt, here present.

Schmid, Colonel. With a...

With a "d."

Mr. Schmidt, in assuming
your duties immediately,

an adaptation time will be required
...before I was perfectly up to date.

Everyone will be lenient.

At least it's a new face.

I'm not done yet.

We're gonna have a cocktail party.

Welcome to the service,
Mr. Schmid.

Allow me to introduce myself.
Roger Moulinier,

responsible for the African region.

I didn't have time to congratulate you...
for its restoration.

I was personally happy,

especially for the service
that we know is due to you.

-Marie-Jo.
-Lord.

Long live France!

Long live the general!

And viva Moïse!

Cheers, Moïse. Cheers.

Jacquard?
You're making one of those faces!

It's your region.
It's a little bit your victory too.

As if to demonstrate.

I'm kidding.

Let's see if that still amuses you.
when all the excited ones,

all the lights of the least lost hole
that France has visited,

will challenge the welcome
to demand the same thing.

I'm calm.
Before seeing the Africans parade...

Mr Jacquard,
I imagine if you get out of this cocktail..,

you have filled in the exemption form
of cocktail and stamped it?

You adapt quickly
for a last-minute replacement.

I do what I can.

ABSENCE BY COCKTAIL

Good morning, Mr. Pochon.
Steady at the post?

It's my week without a cocktail.
I'm on call.

We can't leave the files
unattended.

A gift to comfort you.

-For me?
-Of course.

I made pie in the morning
and suddenly I said to myself:

"Poor Mr. Pochon,
working

tirelessly,
even when others have fun."

Watch the seeds.
I leave them to give flavor.

You're very kind.
Thank you.

I'm gonna take advantage of the fact that I'm here

to retrieve a document
that Mr. Moïse asked of me.

-Of course. Tell me where he is.
-No, I'll take care of it.

Eat the pie. It's still warm,
it gets tastier.

You're right.

Who is responsible
by your delegation?

Only one responsible.
If not, two forms are required.

Come on in.

Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.

New office.
Colonel's decision.

I'm sorry to bother you, sir.
I would like to hand this over to you.

It's the pictures
that I took from your house.

-I thought of those two men.
-I think I told you

-not to worry.
-I didn't worry,

but I remembered to have
typed a report

to which it includes photographs
of those men.

I went discreetly to the file

and I found the files in question.

Your concierge and your son are,
actually,

...Mr. Moriou, who was expelled...
of violence service

and Mr. Charlant,
who was expelled for embezzlement.

I'll leave it for you to analyze.

I have a drinks cart
who's not gonna organize himself.

Thank you, Marie-Jo.

It's weird.

According to the questionnaire,
they are not classified

as enemies, nor allies,
or not aligned.

-What are they, then?
-They look like Americans.

We really need to get them,
with all the work we've got?

You never know the risk you're taking...

by not receiving people
that we don't know about.

Hello, gentlemen.

To what do we owe the honor?

We represent a group
of Quebec intellectuals.

Ok then, I'm Alain Robitaille,
and he, Antonin Laliberté.

They're fake names.

We thank you for seeing us.
You are very kind.

I still think
they are Americans.

We're available.

-Do you understand me?
-Very good.

I understand you.

We're admirers of the
General de Gaulle.

Your visionary policy
about the independence of peoples.

He demonstrated clearly in Africa.
Now in Algeria,

with the referendum of
self-determination.

And we came here to ask for your help

to support our struggle for independence
from Quebec to Canada.

I don't get it.

They didn't say
they speak French?

We're speaking French.

French, I understand a lot.

Africans have so much syntax
when colors of clothes,

but that!

It seems to me that these
gentlemen have come to ask

aid from France

to free Quebec
of Canadian domination.

What did I say?

It's the beginning of the parade.
Who will be next?

The Belgian Liberation Front
of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon?

But, uh...

-What's Canadian?
-É.

You're Canadian.
or dominated by Canadians?

Both of you.

We want it to be
done without violence.

We should really apply
a language test

to the delegations before receiving them.

Exam, you said "test."

It's an English word.
In French, it is "examination".

We barely understand them.
and they understand us well.

It's incredible.

For the future of our country
and all Algerians.

Hey!

De Gaulle thinks it'll calm them down...
with a referendum. He's wrong.

-His name is Yamine. He's a friend.
-We take up arms

and we won't let them go.

Yes!

France is proud
to have invented the right of peoples

to dispose of themselves,
but they just want one thing.

Continue to oppress us
like they've been doing for 130 years.

Yes!

Continue to exploit our land

and to consider us as citizens
second class, as slaves?

No, your referendum doesn't fool us,
general.

We don't want your
self-determination.

We want independence.

Long live Algeria!

-Long live Algeria!
-I haven't finished yet.

Excuse me, can I talk?

Thank you. Thank you.

Is it true that this referendum
doesn't make sense.

It is not intended for the future of Algeria,
but to De Gaulle's gift.

Everything continues to be done
for the future of Algeria.

All right, then.

Give the Arabs the right to vote?
It makes no sense.

We need to rethink everything.
Go even further.

We need to get it over with.

What do you mean, break up?

Algeria is France.

-Are you your future husband?
-I don't know what happened to him.

The Arabs who are in France
did not vote for the future of France.

Without France, there is no Algeria.
There never would have been.

It was France that
created Algeria.

Get down from there.

What was there when we got there?

Two camels, three palm trees
and tribes killing each other.

-He's all bullshit.
-And more,

wine, oil,
trains, freeways.

All this thanks to the work
of the French.

That's enough, get down from there.

-Algeria will remain French.
-Shut up.

-We'll never leave her.
-Never mind.

In the hands of uneducated savages...

Uncultivated savages!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Stop!

That's enough, get up.
Come with me.

We don't want to take up arms.

It's totally against
our concept of sovereignty.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Specifically, what do you want?

Advice to lead
our fight for independence.

How do you seem to understand French...
instead of talking,

I'm gonna tell you something.

Think about it, because you think you're

that a fight for independence
is an independence struggle...

We'll own our own house.

You guys are totally wrong.
It's a problem for everyone.

It causes a mess in everything.
Do you have a real estate market?

If so, look who to turn to.
Check the insurance premiums,

if they have,
read the small print.

Because after it starts,
it just gets worse.

He's not wrong.
I saw it in Africa.

And again, it was fast,
but it could have lasted for years.

We've done some things,
talk a little, laugh a little.

Ask the FLN if they don't believe you.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.
We don't want any trouble.

We want to lead a peaceful struggle.

We want a fight without war.

They're worse than Africans.
I don't understand anything.

They're starting

pissing me off, shit.

So do I.
I'm beginning to think we're done.

Do you believe they understand each other?

But they're very stupid!
They're a bunch of pussies

and they still look at us
with superiority.

Where are you going?

You French,
aren't going to help us

in our separatist struggle,
we'll go somewhere else.

They'll talk to the others.

-Good luck.
-All right. Thank you.

-Mostly you, asshole.
-Why me?

Because he revealed the name
of our movement,

he's gonna be called
Quebec Liberation Front.

FLQ.

Do you understand?
FLQ.

In any case,
we'll see each other again.

Oh, shit. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. French.

It's a language that pretends to be French,
but which is not

and therefore has its own logic,
because they seem to understand us.

Would they be Eastern Canadians?

So what?

Well...

The target has been identified

and monitored.

Monitored?
What were the orders?

What were the orders?

Finish him off.

And what are you waiting for?

I demand a result tonight...
or you will be executed.

I await your report.

Come on!

-This thing doesn't work.
-It works very well.

When the girl
...start taking off your bra...

the curtain comes down and when we pay.
to come back, she's already dressed.

That's robbery.

It needs to be fast
to put the coin in.

I beg your pardon.
I should have said so right away.

Solve the bra problem
or I'll close your dump.

Good night, sir.

I don't know anything about
flower language.

How can I say..:

"I'm so sorry,
am I sorry, sorry?"

All right, then.

Thank you. Thank you.

We came to see you to learn
the example of their struggle

against oppression
of arrogant and insolent France.

I don't quite understand.

Who are you fighting?

Against the oppression of Canada.
We have points in common.

Those damn Frenchmen...
are even worse Canadians.

We reflect a lot, we observe a lot...
...and we'll consult as well.

We've come to the conclusion

that you are the model
that we want now.

That's right. That's right.

In honor of your fight,
we decided to call ourselves

FLQ.

We'd like to schedule meetings
with others about their methods

because we think it'll fit together
to our methods

Inch'Allah.

It is not possible to massacre
French like that,

there are limits!

Inch'Allah.

The table's served, sir.

I'm coming.

What's the matter with you?

As you can see, I'm going through
lipstick to get out.

Finally, it's 7:30.
Marthe just called.

Take off your coat and let's go to dinner.

No.

What do you mean, no?
Who's in charge here?

Exactly! I'm tired of
to be sent out and dinner at 7:30.

I'm leaving.

We're not leaving now.
I'll send Marthe to serve.

You didn't get me right.
I'm leaving without you.

What's that? What's that?
Where are you going?

Take a look. We're suffocating here.
We never do anything new.

We're stagnant.
I'm bored.

Good night, Maurice.

What time will you be back?

I don't know.
Actually, I don't even know if I'm coming back.

Shall I serve, sir?

No, I'm not having dinner here.

Andre?

Come on, enough with the mood.

I'm sorry about my
out of control yesterday.

Unfortunately, I was right.

I shouldn't have left Mercaillon
to know that you were alive.

He'll try to kill you. Men
who stole the file are murderers...

of the service.
I bet they're after you.

Mercaillon, you bastard.

André, can you hear me?

I hope it's not
It's too messy for you.
