Le Bureau des Légendes (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 2 - Episode #2.2 - full transcript

You're a regular here.

No more than you.

I wondered if you'd show,
after your rant against this

What's the word you used?

Shindig.

It's such an old-fashioned term.

''OId-fashioned''
is old-fashioned.

What's ''shindig'' in Arabic?

Whoever's listening in will be shocked.

Are people listening?

You know all embassies are bugged.



Video too?

I don't think so.

We should keep talking.

Otherwise, we'll look suspicious.

I've run out of words.

Me too.

My husband must wonder where I am.

Dad?

Some doctor left a message.

Are you sick?

No.

You wouldn't tell me anyway.

Come by this morning.
I've had a cancellation.

You had a panic attack,
so you called me.



Or, you showed up in a panic.

I gave you a prescription
and an appointment for tomorrow.

What's happening?

Your offer was studied
at the highest level.

He does interest us.

A lot.

So?

The State Department would allow
the CIA to negotiate

Nadia El-Mansour's release,
assisted by Syrian Intelligence.

''Would''?

In exchange for recruiting this man.

OK.

My prescription?

Look here, and here...

They measured in 1995,
using the old techniques.

Before the existence of GPS,
to synchronize the stations.

Marina!

- What's he doing here?
- I don't know.

I'll catch up with you.

I'm not leaving you alone with him.

Be careful.
He'll try to pressure you.

Don't worry.

You come to work together?

We have a meeting.

Shapur!

Not in the street!

It's OK.

Why did you say I hit Asan
for no reason?

It's the truth.

He was looking at Daria's breasts.

Maybe he was.
I don't know.

Please call my father
and tell him the truth.

That's not a reason!

That's not your decision.

It's just disrespectful.

No.

You've put my father
in a delicate position.

He's very honest
and very exposed.

You're making him take the blame.

- That's the issue.
- Asan's still limping!

I saw.

And I'm sorry.

But it's not my dad's fault.

I have to go to work.

Listen...

You'll regret it!

Enough.

Bitch!

Are you dropping me
at the bus stop?

Or do we walk in together?

The bus stop's better.

We could always say we're carpooling.

Yeah...

I like carpooling.

One for the road?

May I remind you
this young man is Shapur Zamani.

The judgment's on Friday,
at his father's.

Shapur is already pressuring Phenomene.

- And he's not done.
- Meaning?

There are various kinds of pressure.

Political...

which might even affect Reza Mortazavi,
Phenomene's employer.

Administrative...
Majid Zamani has a powerful network.

Precisely.

Shapur would inherit that network,
if he works for his father.

He doesn't today.

- What does he do?
- He's a rich kid.

He organizes parties,

trips in the desert...
He drives fancy cars.

So he's young and having fun.

But he has a master's degree
from Tehran University,

and spent 2 years at Cornell.

Once he settles down,
he'll inherit the job

that was meant for him.

At his father's side.

She's about to testify against him.

She will back Aladdin,
our primary target.

He's asked for more seismic research,
confirming his involvement

in a nuclear waste disposal program.

She shouldn't testify again Zamani.

What?

In that case,
we'll lose Aladdin for good.

You don't know that.

My job is to evaluate a target's value.
Aladdin is a safe bet.

Zamani is risky.

Your opinion?

Sorry, but this is absurd.

On one hand,
we strengthen ties

with a precious,
reliable and contained target,

validated by the Iran desk.

On the other hand,
we could lose everything.

Status quo.
She sticks to Aladdin.

Mr. Duflot?

Yes...
I have to go.

Are we done?

Marie-Jeanne, one minute.

What's up with you and Clement?

It's so obvious.

Is it?

I was going to mention it.

Tough handling being in the same
meetings all the time, isn't it?

Maybe. I don't know.

Think about it.

OK.

Toufik Boumaza's been identified
as the latest ISIS executioner.

Cyclone met him at a wedding in Algiers.

Along with his younger brother,
Yacim Boumaza.

The direct way to get to Toufik
is by recruiting his brother.

Is Cyclone the recruiter?

No, I am.
Cyclone facilitates the meeting.

Good.
Make sure he doesn't screw up.

We're on.

How's he driving?

Fast.

Very good.

- You're involved?
- He's on my team.

He's coming.

Pull over here.

What's wrong,
I'm working!

- Your papers.
- I'm in a hurry!

- I'll be fired!
- Calm down.

Hey, don't touch me.

Let me go!

- Let me go!
- Calm down.

Alright, alright...

You assholes arresting me?
For real?

- I didn't do anything!
- Get in.

Can I buy one of your pizzas?

- Yeah.
- How much?

- 9 Euros.
- Even if it's cold?

You shouldn't leave him in that state.

Tell that to the guy he beat up.

- Serious?
- What's it to you?

Don't you recognize him?

The former hostage.

- What hostage?
- Ben Arfa.

The guy kidnapped last year.

In Algeria.

You're nuts.
Sit still and be quiet.

Ben Arfa,
you're free to go.

Really?

Yes.

Goodbye, sir.

You're still here?

I wanted to thank you.

No problem.

I have to pick up my car.

- Going that way?
- Yeah.

They confiscated my scooter.

We've met before.

Of course!

I remember...
The wedding in Algiers.

I freaked when I saw you on TV,
like ''I know this dude! ''.

We talked and stuff.

What happened to you was awful.

All for a punch to the forehead.

I meant the hostage thing.

Oh, right.

What do you do now?

I'm between jobs.

No more Algiers,
no more banking.

- I can't live like I used to.
- I understand.

How's your uncle?

He's fine.

Your brother?
The one at the wedding?

Toufik?
He's in jail.

Shit... Is it serious?

Yeah...

How about coming over for tea one day?

My mom would be thrilled.

Give me your number.
I'll call you.

OK, great.
06...

Who's the asshole who said
Ben Arfa was useless?

Me.

Right, well...
All that pizza talk made me hungry.

You've identified him?

Yes, we have.

Hope he's not a French convert
to Islam... That's all we need...

Let's call him Chevalier.

- After France's last executioner.
- OK.

Where's Chevalier from?

What can I tell the President?

If he knows we've ID'd him,
he'll mistrust everyone.

I'd be happy to tell the President...

Marc...

He's from Tourcoing.

Only child.
Parents from Tunisia.

He moved with his wife
and 3-year old to Iraq

in 2014, via Turkey and Syria.

Single, no children.

He spent some time around Lille,

and traveled to Yemen.

Two cousins,
living in the South of France.

I hope you'll quickly recover from...

revealing all these secrets.

The President wants this bastard
apprehended at all costs,

and brought back for trial.

And if we can't bring him back,
we'll try him on the spot.

Fine.

Ladies...

Gentlemen...

That's what I call ''tracing dye'' intel.

If the lie I just fed
the President's advisor

appears in the press,
I'll know who leaked it.

Tell me, are you interested

in active field duty?
Or watching videos at your desk?

- I'm interested.
- Then hide your feelings!

You'll get us all in trouble.

Can we talk?

Why did Cassidy make that
whole scene the other day?

You said it was a test.

Testing who?

Or what?
Doesn't add up.

If I don't get it,

I become obsessed.
I can't stop searching...

And the more it resists...

the more I know it's supposed to.

It's intentionally working against me.

It's no longer an enigma...

It becomes my enemy.

What's on your mind?

Do you know about
Marie-Jeanne and Clement?

No.

What do you think?

Your thoughts?

On a complex case,
emotional ties can be dangerous.

- You've been there.
- I have.

Either she lives her life,
without Phenomene,

or she keeps Phenomene,
and gives up Clement.

Take away Phenomene.

Sisteron is working on
the Boumaza operation.

Marie-Jeanne handles another agent

And I'll take Phenomene.

Fine.

I can't say I didn't have a choice.

I had a choice.

I chose to spare those I respect.

To protect those close to me.

War-related psychological trauma

To preserve my friends.

And I chose...

Did you ask for the chair?

What's the point of the desk?

You asked for paper and a pen.

You think you'll get it?

Maybe you'd like a secretary too?

This isn't the Ritz-Carlton.

I noticed.

Mother, I'm writing from jail,

somewhere near Damascus.

I'm being treated well.

It's more like house arrest than jail.

I don't know what they have
in store for me.

What's most important

is that you should know I'm fine.

My only concern

is that I may be causing you trouble.

You, Joude and Marwan
must leave the country.

As long as you are here,

they have something to use against me.

I am sorry to have put you
in this situation.

Hello, Basem.

Hello, Ma'am.

I have a favor to ask you.

I know what you want.

For me to mail a letter to your family.

They must be worried about me.

I disappeared 6 months ago.

No. It's too risky.

They'll pay you.

I wrote it in the letter.

Who do you think I am?

There's something else.

Both lights are out.

There. It's fixed.

As for the rest, I'm sorry.

I can't help you.

- Everything OK?
- Yes.

You use this to record.

Remember to turn it on,
when you make contact.

If she doesn't call, write it down here.
Try again after 4 hours.

After 36 hours, we check
the dead-letter box.

Thanks, I already know this.

Just following protocol.

She should call in one minute.

Can you explain?

You must have an idea.

My relationship with Clement?

Partially.

Partially?

You should be less emotional.

This coming from you...

How am I emotional?

Why does it bother you
to switch agents?

What's the difference?

- She's not calling.
- Nope.

Have I ever lacked clarity,
when you were over there?

If something had happened in Syria,
I'm not sure you'd have seen it.

If something had, I'm not sure
you would have told me.

She won't call now.

OK.

You have another 4 hours to adjust.

I was wondering if he was in contact

with the Iranian delegation

during the first nuclear negotiations.

It's possible due to
the problem

Marina, I'm with Guillaume Debailly!

Hi, Guillaume.

Hi, Marina.

He's your handler, from now on.

Is something wrong?

Absolutely not.
We rotate, to keep our ideas fresh.

You'll be in good hands.

I've been fully briefed.
No need to do it.

OK.

- Bye.
- Bye, and thanks!

- Are you OK?
- Yes.

Marina, what are your thoughts
on getting closer to Shapur Zamani.

Shapur?

I just want an opinion.

That would be hard.

And?

- Because of Aladdin.
- That's the general view.

Working both targets
seems impossible. Is it true?

Zamani is a possible target.

His father is a government advisor
on Energy, right?

Yes, but the son...

Won't he work for his father one day?

I don't know.

Can you find out?

If so, he's an important target.

Of course.

But I'm testifying against him.

Avoid testifying.

Can you manage that?

I don't know.

You'll find a way.

Hi there.

Hi.

You OK?

Fine.

Time for a tan?

No, I'm thinking.

- About what?
- Just work stuff.

Have you ever thought
you were a shit?

I've behaved like one,
but never thought I was.

I'm kidding.

Of course I have.

- Are you a shit?
- Yes.

I don't know how to lie.

That's unfortunate.
You're in the land of lies.

You're really good at it.

Do I know how to be a real shit?

I do.

How do you do it?

You really want to know?

Either I learn or I leave.

Come in.

What is that?

You're quitting?

Yes, I'm sorry.

I'm very grateful.

You trusted me by hiring me.
But...

I can't go on.

It's too hard.
I miss Paris and my friends.

Honestly, Marina...
You can't be serious.

I'm sorry.

Sit down.

- What's wrong?
- Nothing.

I thought I'd get used to
living here, but I'm not.

Please tell me the truth.

I've gotten myself into
a bad situation.

I've been compromised.

It could hurt you too.
I can't allow that to happen.

I'd rather leave.

What's this about?

I went to that party with Asan.

I shouldn't have.

That's when it started.
Shapur beat up Asan.

Asan is my friend...

I should be on his side, right?

I don't know how things work here.

Start again, slowly.
I don't understand.

His name is Shapur Zamani.

- Zamani, as in Majid Zamani?
- Yes.

It's his son.

He's one of your sponsors.

That's why I should leave.

So, what do you think?

So, Cassidy shows up here...

He claims that one of us
offered to work for the CIA.

He messes with you,
giving a name that doesn't exist.

I think it's a test.

I thought so too.

But, what about a leak?

Could there be one here?

Then I remembered
Operation FELIS.

Someone warned the Americans.

Someone said to them,
''Abort.''

''The French lost an agent
who knows about FELIS.''

The Algerians warned the CIA.

According to the report.
But I disagree.

It's a credible theory.

Cassidy's attitude is fishy.
Let me sniff around.

The Americans don't need a mole
within our ranks.

They already listen in on us.

I don't mean a mole.
More like leaks, negligence, collusion.

Yes, a mole.

I'm old school.

You're on your own.
I won't cover you.

Unless you find a name.

All I need is the list
of those who knew about

Cyclone's disappearance
and Operation FELIS.

I'll get you that list.

For you.
From the Directorate.

Thank you.

Cross-list of personnel with
XV-13n and SB14-z clearance

OK...

All you have to do is
make sure he gets my card.

He has to come to you.

Don't ask questions.
Have him talk.

He should remember that
he's the one talking.

- He's the one in the driver's seat.
- I know.

I know you know.

I know you know I know.

Shut up and get out.

Good luck.

Is he going to screw up?

You crazy?
Of course not.

Thank you.

We worried,
when you were a hostage.

We prayed.

- Didn't we?
- A lot.

Thank you.

We can't understand those
who do things like that.

They're criminals,
not good Muslims.

- You know Sabrina?
- No.

- Nice to meet you.
- Likewise.

She wasn't at the wedding.

She was passing her exams.
Already!

She's so young.

- She's ahead in school.
- Mom!

I'm not trying to fix you up.

She's a nurse.

Good.

What about you?
Married?

Sorry, I have prescriptions to write.

My sons worry me.

Yacim doesn't care about anything.

He spends the entire day
playing with his phone.

Toufik...

How is he?

He's always been very strong, but...

He's very fragile, too.

He's both.

He got influenced by thugs.

He's in jail.

Want one?

Not in front of my mom!

My sister has to give her
anti-whatever pills.

- Anti-anxiety pills?
- To calm her down.

Sometimes they knock her out.

Since you were coming,
she wouldn't take them.

My mom's never been okay.

But since Toufik left...

Of course.

Where is he?

Far away?

Not easy close to visit?

No.

Like when I was in Algeria.

Who kidnapped you?

ISIS.

Anybody French?

Yeah, a guy came to train,
but he left.

His goal was Syria.

My brother's in Syria.

But he would never take hostages.

- My brother's not a fanatic.
- I know that.

Everyone I saw was young too.

- Mostly lost souls, I could tell.
- Exactly.

Now I understand your mom.

Yeah...

She says he'll never come back.

- She prays everyday.
- He can come back, one day.

He won't, believe me.

You know, when I got back
I had to get a lawyer.

- Why?
- They accused me

of supporting ISIS,
and making it all up.

What? Who?

I don't know.
The cops, the military?

I needed a lawyer to defend me.

A great guy.
I swear, without him...

I'd never have had
the strength to fight.

He defends guys like your brother.

Some do come home.

Here...

Mr. Coujard.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

He doesn't care about money?
Because we don't have...

- Even if we sell everything...
- He works pro bono for an association.

He'll explain.

Yeah...

- I'll go check on them.
- OK, I'll finish my cigarette.

Hello, Miss Loiseau.

We may begin.

Let's review the facts.

If each side maintains their version,

we will ask Miss Loiseau to testify.

So...

At a party given in my home on Sept. 29,

an incident took place

involving my son Shapur and you, Asan.

Is this correct?

Shapur claims Asan was looking
in an inappropriate way

at his friend Daria.

So he struck him.

Asan,

you deny this charge?
Is that correct?

Not entirely.

What do you mean?

I may have looked at Daria,
longer than I should have.

But it was unintentional.

It wasn't a reason to hit me so hard!

You did behave disrespectfully
towards Daria.

Yes.

Maybe.

I made a mistake.

So did he.

This quarrel

isn't worth other people

having to pay for our mistakes.

Now that Asan's version
corresponds to Shapur's,

Marina's testimony is no longer needed.

We will continue without you.

Asan, are you opposed to her leaving?

No, of course not.

You didn't tell me
this caused you problems at work.

You figured out how it works in Iran.

You involved your boss
to avoid being compromised.

Very smart.

I have nothing against you.

I didn't want to testify.

I like girls like you.

You don't attract attention,

but you've got a brain.

Unlike Daria's friends.

OK, well...

I have to go.

See you around.

I'm giving a party tomorrow.
Will you come?

- Why won't you call him?
- Because...

They're talking about Cyclone.

Just when I leave the room...

- He's a friend of your uncle's.
- So?

- Invite him over for dinner.
- Why?

I thought he was nice.

He's twice Sabrina's age, you know.

She's not interested, anyway.

Leave me alone.

I like having people over.

Take your pills
and you can have people over.

Don't talk to me like that.

I'm not calling him.

I don't trust him.

- Where's Sabrina?
- Out.

Maybe he knows the President,
or a minister.

He was a hostage.
He could help us with Toufik.

Let it go.
He can't help.

No one can.

Don't say that.
He mentioned a lawyer...

He's after our money.

He was in banking.

Those guys are slime.

Damn...

- Hello?
- Mr. Coujard?

- Yes?
- Am I interrupting?

- Not at all.
- My name is Sabrina Boumaza.

You don't know me.

Your name was given to my brother

by Rachid Ben Arfa.

Rachid, OK.

It's my older brother...

He's in Syria.

I don't know what to do,
but I want to do something.

He's a good guy.

- Did you lose Phenomene because of us?
- Yes.

- I'm sorry.
- Nothing you can do.

Actually...

You can do something.

If something bothers you

having to do with Phenomene,
you come to me.

Tell me something's up.
OK?

Agreed.

Even if we split up.

Does that mean we're together?

You will tell me.

I will.

- Do we leave together?
- Sure.

We're carpooling.

- Yes?
- Excuse me...

I have a letter. It's important.

- For?
- The El-Mansours.

You're too late.

They were arrested last week.

You can look inside,
if you want.

It's all I took.

Mrs. El-Mansour had promised it to me.

Toilets.

Never again.

I could have been caught.

I did it.

- You saw them?
- I did.

I don't want to talk about it.

Thank you.

Can I talk to you?

You think I don't see you and Daria?

What you're up to?

What?

You look at her breasts too.

What a sense of humor!
I love it!

Daria!

Bring me my phone.

Anyone for a swim?

On the count of 3,
we jump.

One... Two... Three...

Did I cause harm?

Yes...

I caused harm.

I crossed over.

I compromised missions.

I manipulated agents.

Fully aware
of the consequences of my actions.

I knew how to be a real shit.

Who's the girl
with that pig Zamani?

I don't know yet.

But friends of our enemies...

are our enemies.
