Le Bureau des Légendes (2015–…): Season 3, Episode 8 - Episode #3.8 - full transcript


Henri Dufiot knew that
without Intelligence, War is impossible.

And that without War,

there can be no Peace.

A man of exception,

a man of thought...

That was Henri.

Hls loyalty was unwavering,

to the very end.

The mission we entrusted him with

took precedence over everything else.

Within our walls, our world,



his mission covers him in glory.

Outside, it's the ordinary story
of a civil servant nearing retirement,

whose tired heart gave out.

Outside these walls,

for the rest of the world...

For you, Madam,

for his son, his pride and joy,

Henri Duflot vanished into the shadows.

The shadows are our territory,

our friends,

in victory and in defeat.

Henri Duflot knew this.

He accepted the rules of our service.

Let's observe a minute of silence.



Unknown

The minute of silence is over.

All around the world,

in our embassies and tents,

by freezing cold or sweltering heat,

this silence was observed
by the "home team",

as Henri liked to call us.

- You alright?
- Yes.

Just a bit homesick.

There's a guestbook for those
who'd like to leave a note.

A private funeral service for the family
will be held next week.

Thank you.

I read your report.

So...

Henri asked Cochise to get Malotru out.

Yes, as a condition for his recruitment.

As I recall, we told Henri
not to mix the two up.

They're two separate initiatives, right?

Let's go to the crisis room.

Was that Henri's intention
when he volunteered?

To liberate Malotru?

His bond with Malotru
influenced his judgement.

"Henri will forever be
an example to follow.

"L have the deepest respect
for his loyalty

"and modesty,

"despite the scope
of his many accomplishments."

It's hard to admit,
but Henri and I didn't get along.

I was a hothead, a man of action.

He was the wise man,
who thought things through.

Damn it.

It happened, on the field no less.

During a mission I prepared here,
with him.

Poorly prepared, it seems.

Not well enough, for sure.

He always sat there.

It was his seat.

We didn't get along,
but I always saved his seat.

If anyone sat in it,

I kicked them out
before Henri got there.

Henri wouldn't dare.

I'll write something,
but I need a few days.

I'm off to France for a week.
It's important,

to uphold my cover.

I have a project for you.

Here's the report for Helena.

Give it to her on this key.

The key must be plugged
into her computer.

The files must be copied
from the drive to her computer.

- Her laptop?
- No, her main computer.

The one on her desk at the Institute.

- What?
- She uploads onto her laptop.

So she can work from home.

We know. It's not an issue.

I don't understand.

It won't be an issue.

You okay?

I was robbed.

All my jewelry...

The apartment is a total mess.

I'm so sorry.

It's not your fault, my dear.

Do the police have any leads?

How are you?

Fine.

What about Phenomene?

- Upset about Henri.
- Are her nerves holding up?

Snoopy reassured her.

She's okay now.
Her psychological tests are fine.

In a way,
her panic attack benefitted us.

It wasn't work-related,

so it reinforced her "virgin" status.

What a positive view of things.

- You want the negative view?
- Not really.

What's the latest?

Snoopy gave her a USB key.

He wants it plugged into
Helena Chohraganli's computer.

A Trojan horse?

To infect the system files?

I may be a dummy, but I learn fast.

What's the negative view?

One day, we won't be so lucky.

She'll crack and blow the whole thing.

In programming,
when a line of code malfunctions,

the kind that could block the system,

it can take time to crash.

But it always does.

Thanks.

My most heartfelt condolences...

Deepest sympathies

Shit!

Arthur...

Hello.

I'm Marie-Jeanne.

Emilie Duflot.

I worked with Henri.

- Shit!
- Arthur!

I lost.

I'm going to the bathroom.

It's that way.

We're lost here.

I didn't want him to go.

I thought it was irresponsible of him.

You too, for letting him.

Given the outcome,

I was right.

How's Arthur?

He plays video games.

I'm here to ask your boss,
to give him war orphan status.

Henri often spoke of you.

And of Arthur.

At home, he never spoke of you all.

I'd never heard of you.

You...

you must know why he died.

We can only imagine.

No one will ever tell us the truth.

Sit here.

You okay?

That was a beautiful service.

Beautiful but boring.

I found it moving.

What he said about Henri...

On Intelligence in general.

Nothing to say?

I'm taking a break.

I'm eating.

What?

- You'll say I'm being nasty.
- I'm used to it.

Our "lady of sorrows" annoys me.

Her puffy Wes"-

Everyone giving her tissues,
since Henri died.

She's emotional.

She's overdoing it.

You think I'm being nasty?
I knew it.

I'll give you tissues, if you want.

And collect them when you're done.

That's not what I want.

Are they already inside?

This is Mrs. Gune'l"s oral report
on Socrates.

There are no grey areas.

Mrs. Gune'l' is profoundly shocked
by the incident.

It's not your fault.

Don't blame yourself, Mrs. Gune'l'.

She's agreed
to continue working with us.

But she wants a different handler.

Too many bad memories.

From now on,
I'll be Mrs. Gune'l"s handler.

I always said a woman would be better.

Nothing to say?

Nope.

She asked to change handlers.
I swear.

I know.

Iraq
ISIS-occupied zone

Your name?

Seif el-lslam.

- Where are you from?
- Egypt.

How long have you been
in the Sham?

I migrated to the Caliphate in January.

You speak French?

No.

If I say your mother's a whore,

you don't understand?

Thank you.
Send in the next one.

What did he ask?

If we spoke French.

Which is better?
To speak French or not?

I don't know.

- He didn't say if you were picked?
- No.

I hope he picks me.

They say if you serve him well,
you can join his inner circle.

You're given a house

and a pretty wife.

What's your name?

They call me Driss the Libyan.

Driss,

do you speak French?

D0 you?

No.

If you speak French, I'll pick you.
Your life will change.

Okay.

Send in the next one.

How do you feel?

I asked you a question.

Answer me in French.

I feel good.
Thank you, sir.

I'm yelling to give you a message.

Next time,
you'll leave with me and be free.

No one knows this.

I'm taking a risk for you.
Get it?

So don't try anything.
Just sit tight.

Stay seated.

Sorry I'm late.

Mr. Managing Director,

Cochise used the communication protocol
he had given Henri.

We received and analyzed his message.

He's proposing a plan
to recover Guillaume Debailly.

A solid plan?

An intervention during a transfer.

He'll give us the date, road
and ideal location

for an intervention.

Very good.

No, there's a catch.

The plan only works

if Cochise himself is in the convoy.

But his cover will be blown, won't it?

If Cochise survives the intervention,
they'll suspect he's involved.

That's what he thinks.

So he can't survive.

He wants us to take him,
along with Guillaume.

If he's not at the heart
of ISIS command,

- he can't give us intel.
- No, he can't.

We must refuse.

Why?

He can't dictate his terms.

We want him inside ISIS.
Outside, he's useless.

From the convoy,
he can warn us if needed.

Changes in timing, cars, itinerary...

We'd adapt better.

We shouldn't have linked
recruiting Cochise to freeing Debaiiiy.

Cochise thinks he has the upper hand.

Sorry, I disagree.

Henri had a great idea,
linking the two.

The Americans keep harassing us
for a solution

where Guillaume's rescue remains secret.

What could be better
than linking it to an exfiltration?

I have what I need to decide.

Leave the room, please.

You...

stay here.

You don't know Guillaume.

You didn't know Duflot well.

What do you think?

After the intervention, ISIS leaders
will think Cochise is dead.

In their minds, there's no betrayal.

Why change their plans?

And Cochise knows all their plans.

The intel he'll give us
from within a safe house

will be of immediate use to everyone:

military intelligence, the Coalition...

Everyone needs his info.

There's a war to be won.

You have a visitor.

Who?

I don't know.

I'm such an awful liar!

It was supposed to be a surprise.

It's your boyfriend.
He's here.

Sorry... This is my colleague, Helena.

Arthur.

You see?

You were homesick,
so he came to visit.

I have work to do.

- Take a break.
- Can I?

I'll finish up for you.
Come back after lunch.

I promise. Thank you.

- Didn't they tell you?
- They did.

But they didn't say it was you.

He told me he was gone for a few days.

- Of course.
- Why?

He doesn't want to be here,
in case you're arrested.

Everything okay at the Central?

We're all depressed.

At least you're depressed together.

I'll be done in 1O minutes.

He said it would take 1O seconds.

You're installing, not copying.

Here you go.

You know what's on it?

A Mossad cyberattack.
Probably a serious virus.

A time bomb targeting the IT system

common to all nuclear plants
in seismic zones.

I'll be able to study the attack.

This is huge.

Want to have some lunch?

I'll go back after lunch.

Great.

Will we kiss again?

Does it bother you?

Just prepping.
I'm not used to field missions.

They're not always like this.

We can pretend to argue, if you want.

As you like.

- Yes?
- It's me.

- Thanks for earlier.
- You're welcome.

I worked like crazy this afternoon.

Here's my report.

Thanks.

You'll let me know?

LWill.

I'm taking it home tonight.
I'll look at it there.

You already bought a computer?

I did.

Your boyfriend's cute.

Have you been together long?

- Yes?
- Me again.

My report contains graphs
designed on PC.

You'll have to convert them for Mac.

I can do it for you,
if you like.

N0 problem. I'll do it.

We're planning a rescue mission
for Guillaume.

We're studying different options.

One is highly targeted,
involving a vehicle.

We'll also exfiltrate a source
within the ISIS hierarchy.

He'll give us Debailly
and turn himself in.

You want us to involve
one of our drones?

In exchange for sharing the source.

A drone for a source?

The source better be good.

He's capable of delivering a hostage.

So yes, he's high up there.

If we help you get Debailly out,

we want to question him.
First, and alone.

I'm not comfortable leaving my agent
with your people.

"Your" agent is partially ours.

Besides...

when you say "your peODIQ",

it could also be

one of "our" people.

I'm sorry.

No problem.

I feel like I've lost a friend.

I know, it's crazy.

You lost a friend.

I never cry.

My parents called me "the stone".

You know what really scared him?

Betrayal?

He was afraid of not being good enough.

Being too average, too mediocre.

And to end his career in shame.

He used to say,
"lt'll all work out when we're dead".

It's all worked out.

Thanks for letting me know.

That's not all.

That was the prologue.

You're leaving your safe house.

Your bags were packed
while we were talking.

What's up?

The DGSE and the CIA have been talking.

A joint operation to free Guillaume
is underway.

The CIA insists
on questioning him first.

On location.

A hard request to grant.

But we agreed, if you do it.

This will take a while.

Sushi or Indian?

Lie him down in the back.

Let's g0!

Pray to your French god.
I'll pray to mine.

Cochise's phone sends
satellite coordinates in real time.

What if they change cars?

We'll see it.

It zooms to one meter.

Cochise must always be
in the same car as Malotru.

The Americans are receiving our feed.

Good. For once,
they'll be watching us on TV.

They've left.

Abu Ayman, the prisoner...

Where are we taking him?

Why do you ask?
Do you want to warn someone?

No.

I just wanted to...

Stop asking questions
and watch the road.

Are they far away?

About 4O minutes, at that speed.

Can Sherman hear us?

Go ahead, Mr. Gaingouin.

This is Bernard.
Sherman, you copy?

This is Sherman. We copy.
Speak, Bernard.

They're 40 minutes away.

ls the satellite tracking them?

It is.

Roger.

Over.

Sherman here.
You're in position?

Ready to go, Sherman.

Over.

You have any gum?

We may both die today.

That wouldn't be so bad.

You have children?

Yeah.

Four sons.

How old?

Seven. They're quadruplets.

- I have two. I wanted more.
- What are you doing?

You think we're friends?

We'll never be on the same side.
So shut up!

I could turn you in, right now.

We may both die,
but you'll get special treatment.

Tell this asshole to move his feet!

Get your feet off his face.

Stop.

Tell them we're stopping.

What are you doing?

There may be mines on this road.

I'll call to check.

Nonsense.

There are no mines here.

Forgive me, Abu Ayman.

I won't risk your life.
I know there may be some.

It's safer to check.

I'll tell them.

What's happening?

They've stopped.

What are they up to?

What's he doing?

Something's wrong.

If they backtrack,
we lose our shot.

- Is Sherman far?
- 2 minutes by car.

But their cars are hidden further away.

Count 4 minutes altogether.

The Americans need to strike now.

Tell them to hit the first car now.

Tell Sherman to be ready to move.

Plans change. We adapt.

Tell him to come right away.
It's extremely important.

I don't care!

If he doesn't come now,
I'll rip your eyes out.

We've wasted enough time.
Let's go!

One minute, Abu Ayman.
I'm waiting for an answer.

I don't like this.

Okay, I understand.

Time to get 90mg!

Abu Youssef?

Can you hear me, Abu Youssef?

It's Driss the Libyan.

Something's going on here.

Something that's not right.

Shit...

That guy, the Libyan...

Tell him to come back
and explain to me what's happening.

Go on!

Driss!

You have to come back now.

You hear me?

Abu Ayman is a traitor.

He's here.

I'm telling you, he's a traitor.

He's behaving funny.
He's speaking to the hostage in French.

He's bringing him to the enemy!

Drone!

Let's g0!

Don't move.

Sherman here.
We're getting closer.

The cross is there.

Cochise's phone's still transmitting.

He's wounded.

Where's the hostage?

Don't tell me he was in there!

Sherman here.
I don't know if the hostage is alive.

I'll blow you up!

Jean-Marc!

Give me my rifle.

Paul!

We can't stay here.

This is Sherman.

Cochise is wounded but he'll be okay.

We have the hostage.
He's alive.

We did it!

Tripoli
Lebanon

Guillaume.

You're the one they sent?

You wanted someone else?

I thought they might send Henri.

Well, they sent me.

You okay?

I'm okay.

You'll be questioned soon.

Already?

What you know can be used right now.

How long will it take?

A few days.

We're sailing in a few hours.

You'll change ships often.

What then?

I don't know.

What do you need?
I'll get it.

Some water.

It's time to start.

Hi, Guillaume.

You understand why I'm here?

The guard left.

You're here on behalf of the CIA.

You haven't lost your touch.

How do you feel?

Since yesterday, I feel like ghosts
are trying to talk to me.

They stand there, facing me.

And they talk to me.

I know the ghost is me.

I have something for you.

The Face of Tomorrow's Syria

She's changed.

If this is a technique,
it's a welcome one.

It's not a technique.

I needed to do it.

Let's go.

Don't move your hands.

I need to get...

I don't care.

I'm sorry.

I honestly didn't think
you could do such a thing!

What?

You know what he's been through?

I can imagine.

No, you can't.

5 hours of torture stories.
You have no idea.

You'd let him rot

in that shitty cabin with no windows?

It's not my decision.

Raymond!

Did you forget who he is
and what he did for you?

How do you know that?

He told me.

He knows why they sent you.

Because he trusts you.

You've been through an ordeal too.

He knows you can understand
what he went through.

I know it too. I'm not stupid.

You know what?

You, of all people,

you let him rot
in that windowless cabin.

He's gone from one jail to another,
from enemy to friend...

He's not even bitter.
You know why?

He's too weak?

Exactly.

I have a nicer cabin for you.
One with a window.

This is my cabin.

I'll be next door.

Thank you.

- I have to stay inside.
- No.

I have instructions.

Sir, those are my orders.

I will not leave him alone
in that cabin.

I'll sort this and be back.

I'll be responsible.

That's impossible.

He's my responsibility.

You don't need to be inside.
Stay out in front.

End of story.

I'll call the director.

In the meantime, I'll stay with him.

You didn't lock it?

Code 286, code 286.
Block all exits.

I want 2 men on deck.
I repeat, 2 men on deck!

He can't go far.
He can barely walk.

That's what he made you believe.
