Thank you.
Post office
Yakovlev Foundation Strategic Studies
- Hello. - Hello.
Thank you.
- Pasha! - Hey.
How's it going?
It's good.
A bit nervous?
No.
Don't tell me it doesn't bother you to come and work here.
- I don't mind. - What do you feel?
Pride.
Let me introduce you to Alexei Bakatin
who works for FSB Directorate 4.
- The equivalent of... - DSEC.
Yes. Yes.
Hello, Pavel. Follow me please.
- Do you know where we are going? - Yes.
- Polygraph? - Uh...huh.
Then I will show you your office and introduce you
to your colleagues.
They are waiting for you.
Very well.
You know the procedure...
It's a ritual between us now.
Have you met any French people since you have been in Moscow?
No.
What were you doing at the Post office this morning?
I don't know how to say it in Russian.
Say it in any language, it's recorded.
Aa...I sent today's newspaper to my daughter.
I sent it to a PO Box under the name...
Lily Lefebvre,
which she checks regularly when I'm abroad.
I wanted her to be reassured.
We will present the cases that interest us
and you will have to say
how would the DGSE react,
what would it do,
what resources they would use.
Hello.
You will study the territories where France is present
and you will interpret the existing signals according to your knowledge.
You understand?
I'm an analyst.
Yes.
Europe Strategy.
- Hello. - Hello.
I present to you your new colleague.
Pavel Lebedev.
Here's your desk, Pavel. Would you like a coffee?
Thank you.
Did you go to that park?
No.
Will you?
I don't know.
It's the French?
I want to talk to you.
Oh yeah?
So?
So, they tried to kill me, remember?
They failed.
What do you want from me?
You want me to forgive them?
Let them get fucked.
I would understand, if you don't wanna be a part of my life.
I'll call you if I like to.
And you call, if you feel like it.
And we'll see, no plans.
Yes?
It's me.
What happened?
You got sick.
What?
You have a fever.
40 degrees.
You can't go to the office.
3 days medical leave, strong treatment.
The Director knows.
Cairo?
The Mule will explain to you. She's waiting downstairs to take you to the airport.
I liked to see you less dressed.
Is it dangerous?
Delicate.
Not dangerous.
Good...
You still sleep naked?
Yes, but I got dressed to open.
Bring me a souvenir.
I have good news and bad news.
Go on.
The good news, I think I know where Pacemaker is.
- Where at? - The Phenom Penh.
Cambodia?
His phone was off for over 72 hours.
The server recovered the data at the time of shutdown.
Nearby devices in the proximity were identified.
Among those phones...
there are two currently in Phenom Penh.
I concluded from this that Pacemaker is with them.
Moreover, his girlfriend received an SMS from a Cambodian number.
I don't have the exact location, but it came from Phenom Penh.
Did the Russians pick him up and take him to Phenom Penh?
Yes, it's a delicate situation.
And the bad news?
Raymond has a fever.
Phenom Penh, Cambodia
You have to eat.
I want to see Anton Leonidov.
Soon.
You wait. You eat.
I get crazy here. It's been too long.
I bought you DVD.
This one I like.
Good movie.
You wait. And eat.
Hello, Sylvain.
Will you explain this?
Leave us.
I'm sorry,
but if you were asked politely to come with us,
you would have refused.
And we couldn't afford it.
Exactly. I would have said, "No".
And you know what? I'm still saying, "No".
You were going to Paris, weren't you?
No.
Riga.
There is a risk of you being extradited to France.
Why?
Because they're looking for the source of the leaks
and you are the perfect suspect.
So am I a prisoner?
You're not a prisoner.
What am I?
If you agree to my proposal
you will be a migrant worker.
Come with me?
My cellphone.
Let's go?
I have to recharge it.
Great.
I need to call.
You can call your girlfriend right after the visit, I promise.
How she doing?
He misses you.
Hello, Khim.
Hello.
- How's it going? - Fine, thank you.
Is it done?
Yes, it's done.
Hi, Sveta?
It's Sylvain.
Where are you?
I'll tell you, but it's a secret.
I was told that you left because of a computer attack.
Yes.
I couldn't talk to anyone.
I'm sorry, my little cat.
Are you in Paris?
No, I'm at Phenom Penh,
in Cambodia.
In Phenom Penh?
Yes, I'll explain later.
I miss you.
I miss you too. I was very worried.
Didn't my office tell you anything?
Yes, but I was still worried.
What did you tell her?
Nothing compromising.
Enough to calm her down.
- I have to hang up. - Okay, but first...
Do I keep all that in my head?
Yes, you do.
Acknowledge that it is well done.
Yes, it's well done.
What are they doing?
This is your first good question.
We are working on a very ambitious program
and I need you for technical supervision.
More ambitious than Center 21?
That's where the research is done,
here we implement.
What do you mean?
Identity theft,
impersonation, Cyber clone.
Who for?
For an institution.
Which is?
This is where I stop.
You have to say "yes" if you want to to learn more.
I say, "No".
Goodbye then.
Cloning for an institution is an act of war.
I don't work for FSB.
Either you are an idiot or you take us for a fool.
You are already working for the FSB.
I work for Center 21.
FSB.
And you?
FSB.
I'm going back to the boat.
Of course. Take some time to think.
No. To take my things.
The Director did the honor of entrusting me with this mission
and I appeal to your competence.
If you refuse you will disappoint me deeply.
Center 21 will no longer exist for you.
Moscow too.
If you set foot here again, you will be arrested.
It's a two-year mission.
Then you can pack your luggage.
You have 48 hours at your disposal.
Cairo, Egypt
That one.
Hello?
Your French friend is here.
My French friend?
Did he tell you his name?
What's your name, sir?
Mister Mortier.
I'm coming.
Wise guy...
...is my mum's name.
It's your...?
Mum's name.
How are you, Mr.Mortier?
Better.
Three hours by taxi, traffic jam...
And upon arrival, air conditioning, calmness...
Paradise.
I did not see your reservation...
It probably got lost between Paris and Cairo.
It happens, unfortunately.
Is the Kheops suite available?
I'll take care of it.
Can I offer you a drink at the bar?
With pleasure.
Two nojitos, please.
Okay.
Are you sure it's alcohol-free? It's a bit early...
It's alcohol-free.
Visiting?
In passing, yes.
I took three days off to see you.
Can they dispense three days without you?
No. But I can't do without you for more than 8 months.
Glad to see you, Mr.Mortier.
What is it like living in Cairo?
In this sticky, airless nightmare?
The perfect place to get out of my cold nightmare like death.
So how are you doing?
I don't know.
What about you?
The suite will be ready in 50 minutes.
- Thanks, Rana. - Thank you.
We can go to my room.
Okay.
Over there, below,
that's the very famous Ahly sports club.
And to the right
the Giza plateau.
The top of the pyramids can be seen when there is no pollution.
Are you looking at the pyramids?
I was really missing your bad jokes.
Only you feel their lack of.
Did they stop joking at the office?
The article in Le Figaro shook us a bit.
They searched for him with a candle.
"They"?
You say "they", not "us"?
I did everything to avoid that. And I failed.
I guess we're all victims of this shit.
This shit...
I said, "shit" thinking of Malotru's death.
Damn it!
If I come back, it be back with me.
I'm sorry.
All right, I'm sorry.
I always had the impression I had a heart of stone. There it is.
You got too involved.
No.
I don't get too involved.
It has nothing to do with this.
Can I take a shower?
Yes. Go ahead.
Hello, Amelie.
Any news?
I informed my superiors about your inter-tribal meeting.
They have agreed, but they want to meet with you.
I only want to deal with you.
To hold such a big meeting,
you have to speak with someone in-charge at the Central Office.
So you are useless.
I was right to be surprised that they had sent me a woman.
Don't worry,
I'll still be your contact person after you have spoken with my superiors.
Can you guarantee that
your baby-sitter won't be eves-dropping?
Guaranteed.
Then another thing.
I'd like you to do something for my son.
I would like him to go work in Cairo,
not to drive Ubers during the day,
and party at Tramadol, at night.
I would like him to learn a trade.
I hear you.
This is a favor that I see as a pre-requisite.
I got that.
Do your bosses have to sign off on that too?
That's not necessary.
- I'll be expecting your son then. - Thank you, Amelie.
Pavel Lebedev.
It's him.
Who is he?
Maxim Asimov, student in biology.
Just someone.
We have on his route an agent that Malotru
can recognize immediately.
Malotru came to the park.
It has been confirmed that he is alive,
that he is in Moscow
and that he is curious.
He saw Pépé very well.
But he did not approach him.
He's careful.
Or hostile.
Malotru knows that if he meets Pépé,
a team will follow him.
He did nothing to avoid our surveillance.
It lets us know where he lives.
I think he wonders how we know he's alive
and what expectations do we have from him.
- They know.
- Information?
Information about the Russians?
- Fake assassination?
Real burn.
- Infiltration?
The Yakovlev Foundation is like Iris from here
but in Russia it's a center for intelligence services.
Some floors are with real researchers
others, only FSB analysts.
Sylvain, can you excuse us for a little bit?
Don't try to find out what he want.
He works for FSB.
Our plan will fall apart.
He let us know where he lives,
where he works, whom for he works.
He had to go through the polygraph detector.
What would you have done instead?
You would've held your anger in order to pass the test, right?
Probably.
That's the optimistic version.
There's another.
He sends us to hell.
- Good evening. - Good evening.
Come in.
Thank you, they are beautiful.
23.
Bravo, an odd number.
You remembered.
You're not as stupid as my last guest.
My wife, Katya.
Good evening, Pavel. Very happy to meet you.
Me too. Nice to meet you.
Thank you. I'm going to find a vase.
I present to you
my son Anton.
- Hello, Pavel. I'm delighted. - Hello.
You speak French?
Yes. I love France.
Have you ever been to France?
No, not yet. But I want to very much.
I want to see the Louvre and the Statue of Liberty.
Statue of Liberty is in New York.
No, papa.
In Paris. There are two.
You leaving?
I'm meeting up with Garik and his friends.
Is that all right?
How nice, he asks his father's permission to leave.
If he doesn't agree, I'm going anyway.
Go, go. Go on.
I hope we'll see you again.
You're welcome, good bye.
You're part of a very small club.
The circle of friends Michael invites to dinner.
I'm probably special.
Certainly.
Do you like Moscow?
I think I might like it. Yes.
Ah.
Isn't something missing?
Landmarks.
Sure you do.
Moscow is a tough city
which brings no gifts.
But for me, it's the only bearable place in Russia.
I live in a family of protesters.
Yes. He likes contrary opinions.
He hates banality,
compromise, uniformity.
Stop.
You say too much about me.
You invited Paul to get to know you better.
No?
Would you invite me to your house?
In France we reciprocate an invitation. Courtesy.
In France...
we reciprocate an invitation.
This is an elementary Courtesy.
Do you think we are savages in Russia?
That we have no manners?
We also invite, give gifts, provide services.
When code language starts I feel compelled to leave the room.
Stay, my dear. It was not code language.
Why are you doing this?
I want you to feel good here.
Why?
Why?
You're an open wound, Paul.
You deserve a normal life,
without worry.
Come to my office and have a drink.
Did you tell your girlfriend that you work for FSB?
Not yet.
Do you want to hide it?
She hates the FSB.
Change your girlfriend.
Everyone hates the FSB.
Except for the girls who work there.
I'm joking.
Tell her I'm not dealing with the opponents of the regime.
Just informants and moles.
Maybe we avoided wars.
Sure you did. She knows you. And she adores you.
I put some pressure on her.
Tell her I'm sorry.
We never remember the order.
In the United States it changes all the time.
The last piece is missing.
Kennedy.
I lost it.
Or it was stolen.
Cairo
You seem to be looking for something.
Yes, I would like to give a souvenir to a friend.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Is she an escort?
Here, "Girlfriend" means "Escort".
No, she's not an escort.
Okay, you know you can't tell her anything that goes on here.
I guess she doesn't know what you're doing, I imagine.
No, but it can be done in 6 months, for example.
6 months?
Are you so involved? What is her name?
Beatrice.
Incredible.
I can't get it out of your tongue.
What about?
About your "Beatrice".
My "Beatrice" is called Mustapha.
He weighs 140 kg and married.
So what?
Nothing. He's great.
Amelie?
He says he's got an appointment with you. He's been waiting for an hour.
Ah yes...
He's an intern. See you later?
- Hello. - Hello.
This way.
Rana?
Yes?
I've been sent by the Security Office of the Sorman Group.
With do regular investigation of our managers around the world.
I'm gonna ask you a few questions about Amelie.
This conversation is confidential, do you understand?
Yes.
This is Salim.
We're taking him on as an intern.
Do you know anything about cameras?
GoPros, yes.
Keep checking all the broken cameras.
Let him go on the stepladder.
No, she hasn't left Cairo since she got here.
Except two days to go to Sinai.
- There's an important meeting that's... - I know.
That's all then?
Did any French journalists come without taking a room?
You mean, just for dinner?
Right.
Maybe. I don't know.
Did Amelie engage with anyone one of them?
Did she have anything to do with French journalists passing through?
I don't know.
But it's possible, right?
Yes.
There's a lot of French journalists who come to Nile Sorman.
Good.
Sign here.
It's a non-disclosure agreement.
Call from Pacemaker.
We have to be on the boat.
I had to go out.
I understand.
Will you go back to the house?
I don't know.
Why wouldn't you?
I don't even know what my name is.
It's Sylvain.
Oh, thank you.
When you don't know, you ask me.
Hello.
Can you get me a beer?
Yes.
Thank you.
I need a few minutes to find the message.
There.
Translation?
I've been proposed a new job.
Important operation.
Code not yet documented.
He says you need to explain the disclosures in the press.
And "Boolean"...I don't quite understand what he means.
Boolean is "True" or "False".
Or "Yes" or "No".
- He's asking us what to do. - I imagine.
It's a personal note on the phone, hence the concise expression...
I understand.
Can we edit the note?
Yes.
Answer him that someone will come and talk to them.
How ever long he waits, if he thinks fit, accept the job.
If not, we bring him home. He decides.
Hi, Sylvain.
- Are you Laurent? - Yes.
- We have to talk. - Yes.
You look disappointed. Did you expect a psychologist?
Oh no, no. I wasn't expecting anyone.
Okay.
You can ask me anything, whenever you want.
I'll try to answer. We have 20 minutes available.
That's all?
We could take it over if needed,
but it is preferable not to meet often.
Okay.
I'm listening to you.
What happened to Paul Lefebvre?
He disappeared on a mission in Ukraine.
- Is he dead? - Probably.
But we have no confirmation.
Did the Americans kill him?
They tried, as far as we know.
Have tried?
Nothing tells us they succeeded.
Does it suit us?
When a traitor ceases his activity, it suits us.
But he had already stopped.
We had no reason to doubt him.
If you had seen the repercussions in Paris,
you would have understood that it was not in our interests.
Because he appeared in the papers?
It's in the press because it's fake.
If it had been true, no one would have found out.
You're not the only one asking questions.
Plus, you knew him. It's normal.
Sylvain...we're not killing our agents.
This requires exceptional circumstances. A necessity.
And that wasn't the case then.
I'm not made for this. I wasn't trained for this.
I'm in Cambodia,
at the center of this ultra-secret Russia thing.
If I get caught, they'll torture me for weeks on end.
No, they'll shake you a little
then they will negotiate.
We'll have to pay dearly, but we'll get you back.
Sasha
Hello sweetheart!
Where do you get this number?
Someone gave it to me.
Who?
Aren't you glad you see me?
No.
You don't call me on this number.
I just want to tell you something important:
I accept the job.
What job?
But on one condition.
What job, Sacha?
I want to bring my girlfriend along.
Sveta?
Yes, Sveta.
You pay for her trip and what she needs to get started.
Are you talking to me live or is this a recording?
A little of both.
So?
Agreed.
Great.
Goodbye, Vera.
Goodbye, Sylvain.
I was a pleasure seeing you. I'll miss you.
I will miss you.
Do they suspect me?
They suspect everyone who were affected by Malotru's death.
You mean everyone?
Few knew about the Americans.
The two of us, at least.
Do you suspect me?
Did you or not?
It's not me.
It's not me.
The office was stupid
but I wouldn't make a fool of myself.
Either you are sincere or you are very strong.
I'm very strong.
See you soon, Amelie.
See you soon, Mr.Mortier.
Embrace Beatrice.
Paris Institute Of Psychiatry And Psychoanalysis, Dr.Evguenia Abramovitch
Sit here, Mr.Angel.
What brings you here?
I hear voices.
Who's talking to you?
No, these are voices talking to each other.
In what context?
The first time,
I thought I heard from a salon.
Then I was in my living room.
I was stressed, I wasn't sleeping enough, I wasn't paying attention.
It seemed, it were the neighbors.
What did they say?
I wasn't trying to understand.
I was working in an office.
I could hear the voices from somewhere, I tried to focus.
But one day, I don't know why,
the voices became louder.
Or the conversation became more lively. I don't know.
I left the office...
to see...
I opened the office door next door.
And there was nobody there.
No.
What did you do?
I went back to my office. But it got me worried. I was on the alert.
Did the voices return?
Yes, many a times.
What country were you at, Mr.Angel?
Russia.
What do you do, Mr.Angel?
I'm a diplomat.
I'm leaving soon, to another country,
and I have to tell you that I'm worried.
I'm afraid because of this I won't be able to leave.
I'm going to prescribe you some neuroleptics.
And I'm going to direct you to a colleague for a consultation.
One without the other does not work.
Do you think I won't be accepted because of this?
Do you hear voices now?
No.
Did you get the idea to schedule yourself
or were you recommended?
It was me.
That's a good sign.
Thank you, Doctor.
Mr.Angel?
Yes?
Did you come to me because I'm Russian?
Are you Russian?
Evguenia Abramovitch, yes, I'm Russian.
If you had spent any time in Russia, you would have known.
That's right, I wasn't paying attention.
Goodbye, Doctor.
Former neighbor.
Evguenia Abramovitch, Psychiatrist.
No accent. Russian really?
Probably an FSB informant.

I know what you feel.
Sadness and rancor to be betrayed by those you served.
Anger, regret, the feeling that everything is stained.
You, who were trying to fix a mistake.
A simple mistake.
I just wanted you to know
by what means your new friends found out
what happened there,
in Donbass that day.
It's was the Jordanians.
You know this.
You know what that means.
Samara: I want you.
As you know, I didn't have the same goal as the Americans.
It only served us as a means for an infiltration operation.
You can become our agent in the heart of FSB.
The Directorate has decided that after that,
you could come back.
You will not be tracked or removed.
Me too. Are you coming back?
You will be able to resume your life before Syria,
before all the mistakes were made.
If you agree to click "Validate".
The rest will come.
All the best.

I would understand, if you don't wanna be a part of my life.
I'll call you if I like to.
And you call, if you feel like it.
And we'll see, no plans.
Yes?
It's me.

Raymond has a fever.
Phenom Penh, Cambodia
You have to eat.
I want to see Anton Leonidov.
Soon.
You wait. You eat.
I get crazy here. It's been too long.
I bought you DVD.
This one I like.
Good movie.
You wait. And eat.
Hello, Sylvain.
Will you explain this?
Leave us.
I'm sorry,
but if you were asked politely to come with us,
you would have refused.
And we couldn't afford it.
Exactly. I would have said, "No".
And you know what? I'm still saying, "No".
You were going to Paris, weren't you?

There is a risk of you being extradited to France.
Why?
Because they're looking for the source of the leaks

You're not a prisoner.

If you agree to my proposal
you will be a migrant worker.
Come with me?
My cellphone.

I have to recharge it.
Great.
I need to call.
You can call your girlfriend right after the visit, I promise.
How she doing?
He misses you.
Hello, Khim.
Hello.
- How's it going? - Fine, thank you.
Is it done?
Yes, it's done.
Hi, Sveta?
It's Sylvain.
Where are you?
I'll tell you, but it's a secret.
I was told that you left because of a computer attack.
Yes.
I couldn't talk to anyone.
I'm sorry, my little cat.
Are you in Paris?
No, I'm at Phenom Penh,
in Cambodia.
In Phenom Penh?
Yes, I'll explain later.
I miss you.
I miss you too. I was very worried.
Didn't my office tell you anything?
Yes, but I was still worried.
What did you tell her?
Nothing compromising.
Enough to calm her down.
- I have to hang up. - Okay, but first...
Do I keep all that in my head?
Yes, you do.
Acknowledge that it is well done.
Yes, it's well done.
What are they doing?
This is your first good question.
We are working on a very ambitious program
and I need you for technical supervision.
More ambitious than Center 21?
That's where the research is done,
here we implement.
What do you mean?
Identity theft,
impersonation, Cyber clone.
Who for?
For an institution.
Which is?
This is where I stop.
You have to say "yes" if you want to to learn more.
I say, "No".
Goodbye then.
Cloning for an institution is an act of war.
I don't work for FSB.
Either you are an idiot or you take us for a fool.
You are already working for the FSB.
I work for Center 21.
FSB.
And you?
FSB.
I'm going back to the boat.
Of course. Take some time to think.
No. To take my things.
The Director did the honor of entrusting me with this mission
and I appeal to your competence.
If you refuse you will disappoint me deeply.
Center 21 will no longer exist for you.
Moscow too.
If you set foot here again, you will be arrested.
It's a two-year mission.
Then you can pack your luggage.
You have 48 hours at your disposal.
Cairo, Egypt
That one.
Hello?
Your French friend is here.
My French friend?
Did he tell you his name?
What's your name, sir?
Mister Mortier.
I'm coming.
Wise guy...
...is my mum's name.
It's your...?
Mum's name.
How are you, Mr.Mortier?
Better.
Three hours by taxi, traffic jam...
And upon arrival, air conditioning, calmness...
Paradise.
I did not see your reservation...
It probably got lost between Paris and Cairo.
It happens, unfortunately.
Is the Kheops suite available?
I'll take care of it.
Can I offer you a drink at the bar?
With pleasure.
Two nojitos, please.
Okay.
Are you sure it's alcohol-free? It's a bit early...
It's alcohol-free.
Visiting?
In passing, yes.
I took three days off to see you.
Can they dispense three days without you?
No. But I can't do without you for more than 8 months.
Glad to see you, Mr.Mortier.
What is it like living in Cairo?
In this sticky, airless nightmare?
The perfect place to get out of my cold nightmare like death.
So how are you doing?
I don't know.
What about you?
The suite will be ready in 50 minutes.
- Thanks, Rana. - Thank you.
We can go to my room.
Okay.
Over there, below,
that's the very famous Ahly sports club.
And to the right
the Giza plateau.
The top of the pyramids can be seen when there is no pollution.
Are you looking at the pyramids?
I was really missing your bad jokes.
Only you feel their lack of.
Did they stop joking at the office?
The article in Le Figaro shook us a bit.
They searched for him with a candle.
"They"?
You say "they", not "us"?
I did everything to avoid that. And I failed.
I guess we're all victims of this shit.
This shit...
I said, "shit" thinking of Malotru's death.
Damn it!
If I come back, it be back with me.
I'm sorry.
All right, I'm sorry.
I always had the impression I had a heart of stone. There it is.
You got too involved.
No.
I don't get too involved.
It has nothing to do with this.
Can I take a shower?
Yes. Go ahead.
Hello, Amelie.
Any news?
I informed my superiors about your inter-tribal meeting.
They have agreed, but they want to meet with you.
I only want to deal with you.
To hold such a big meeting,
you have to speak with someone in-charge at the Central Office.
So you are useless.
I was right to be surprised that they had sent me a woman.
Don't worry,
I'll still be your contact person after you have spoken with my superiors.
Can you guarantee that
your baby-sitter won't be eves-dropping?
Guaranteed.
Then another thing.
I'd like you to do something for my son.
I would like him to go work in Cairo,
not to drive Ubers during the day,
and party at Tramadol, at night.
I would like him to learn a trade.
I hear you.
This is a favor that I see as a pre-requisite.
I got that.
Do your bosses have to sign off on that too?
That's not necessary.
- I'll be expecting your son then. - Thank you, Amelie.
Pavel Lebedev.
It's him.
Who is he?
Maxim Asimov, student in biology.
Just someone.
We have on his route an agent that Malotru
can recognize immediately.
Malotru came to the park.
It has been confirmed that he is alive,
that he is in Moscow
and that he is curious.
He saw Pépé very well.
But he did not approach him.
He's careful.
Or hostile.
Malotru knows that if he meets Pépé,
a team will follow him.
He did nothing to avoid our surveillance.
It lets us know where he lives.
I think he wonders how we know he's alive
and what expectations do we have from him.
- They know.
- Information?
Information about the Russians?
- Fake assassination?
Real burn.
- Infiltration?
The Yakovlev Foundation is like Iris from here
but in Russia it's a center for intelligence services.
Some floors are with real researchers
others, only FSB analysts.
Sylvain, can you excuse us for a little bit?
Don't try to find out what he want.
He works for FSB.
Our plan will fall apart.
He let us know where he lives,
where he works, whom for he works.
He had to go through the polygraph detector.
What would you have done instead?
You would've held your anger in order to pass the test, right?
Probably.
That's the optimistic version.
There's another.
He sends us to hell.
- Good evening. - Good evening.
Come in.
Thank you, they are beautiful.
23.
Bravo, an odd number.
You remembered.
You're not as stupid as my last guest.
My wife, Katya.
Good evening, Pavel. Very happy to meet you.
Me too. Nice to meet you.
Thank you. I'm going to find a vase.
I present to you
my son Anton.
- Hello, Pavel. I'm delighted. - Hello.
You speak French?
Yes. I love France.
Have you ever been to France?
No, not yet. But I want to very much.
I want to see the Louvre and the Statue of Liberty.
Statue of Liberty is in New York.
No, papa.
In Paris. There are two.
You leaving?
I'm meeting up with Garik and his friends.
Is that all right?
How nice, he asks his father's permission to leave.
If he doesn't agree, I'm going anyway.
Go, go. Go on.
I hope we'll see you again.
You're welcome, good bye.
You're part of a very small club.
The circle of friends Michael invites to dinner.
I'm probably special.
Certainly.
Do you like Moscow?
I think I might like it. Yes.
Ah.
Isn't something missing?
Landmarks.
Sure you do.
Moscow is a tough city
which brings no gifts.
But for me, it's the only bearable place in Russia.
I live in a family of protesters.
Yes. He likes contrary opinions.
He hates banality,
compromise, uniformity.
Stop.
You say too much about me.
You invited Paul to get to know you better.
No?
Would you invite me to your house?
In France we reciprocate an invitation. Courtesy.
In France...
we reciprocate an invitation.
This is an elementary Courtesy.
Do you think we are savages in Russia?
That we have no manners?
We also invite, give gifts, provide services.
When code language starts I feel compelled to leave the room.
Stay, my dear. It was not code language.
Why are you doing this?
I want you to feel good here.
Why?
Why?
You're an open wound, Paul.
You deserve a normal life,
without worry.
Come to my office and have a drink.
Did you tell your girlfriend that you work for FSB?
Not yet.
Do you want to hide it?
She hates the FSB.
Change your girlfriend.
Everyone hates the FSB.
Except for the girls who work there.
I'm joking.
Tell her I'm not dealing with the opponents of the regime.
Just informants and moles.
Maybe we avoided wars.
Sure you did. She knows you. And she adores you.
I put some pressure on her.
Tell her I'm sorry.
We never remember the order.
In the United States it changes all the time.
The last piece is missing.
Kennedy.
I lost it.
Or it was stolen.
Cairo
You seem to be looking for something.
Yes, I would like to give a souvenir to a friend.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Is she an escort?
Here, "Girlfriend" means "Escort".
No, she's not an escort.
Okay, you know you can't tell her anything that goes on here.
I guess she doesn't know what you're doing, I imagine.
No, but it can be done in 6 months, for example.
6 months?
Are you so involved? What is her name?
Beatrice.
Incredible.
I can't get it out of your tongue.
What about?
About your "Beatrice".
My "Beatrice" is called Mustapha.
He weighs 140 kg and married.
So what?
Nothing. He's great.
Amelie?
He says he's got an appointment with you. He's been waiting for an hour.
Ah yes...
He's an intern. See you later?
- Hello. - Hello.
This way.
Rana?
Yes?
I've been sent by the Security Office of the Sorman Group.
With do regular investigation of our managers around the world.
I'm gonna ask you a few questions about Amelie.
This conversation is confidential, do you understand?
Yes.
This is Salim.
We're taking him on as an intern.
Do you know anything about cameras?
GoPros, yes.
Keep checking all the broken cameras.
Let him go on the stepladder.
No, she hasn't left Cairo since she got here.
Except two days to go to Sinai.
- There's an important meeting that's... - I know.
That's all then?
Did any French journalists come without taking a room?
You mean, just for dinner?
Right.
Maybe. I don't know.
Did Amelie engage with anyone one of them?
Did she have anything to do with French journalists passing through?
I don't know.
But it's possible, right?
Yes.
There's a lot of French journalists who come to Nile Sorman.
Good.
Sign here.
It's a non-disclosure agreement.
Call from Pacemaker.
We have to be on the boat.
I had to go out.
I understand.
Will you go back to the house?
I don't know.
Why wouldn't you?
I don't even know what my name is.
It's Sylvain.
Oh, thank you.
When you don't know, you ask me.
Hello.
Can you get me a beer?
Yes.
Thank you.
I need a few minutes to find the message.
There.
Translation?
I've been proposed a new job.
Important operation.
Code not yet documented.
He says you need to explain the disclosures in the press.
And "Boolean"...I don't quite understand what he means.
Boolean is "True" or "False".
Or "Yes" or "No".
- He's asking us what to do. - I imagine.
It's a personal note on the phone, hence the concise expression...
I understand.
Can we edit the note?
Yes.
Answer him that someone will come and talk to them.
How ever long he waits, if he thinks fit, accept the job.
If not, we bring him home. He decides.
Hi, Sylvain.
- Are you Laurent? - Yes.
- We have to talk. - Yes.
You look disappointed. Did you expect a psychologist?
Oh no, no. I wasn't expecting anyone.
Okay.
You can ask me anything, whenever you want.
I'll try to answer. We have 20 minutes available.
That's all?
We could take it over if needed,
but it is preferable not to meet often.
Okay.
I'm listening to you.
What happened to Paul Lefebvre?
He disappeared on a mission in Ukraine.
- Is he dead? - Probably.
But we have no confirmation.
Did the Americans kill him?
They tried, as far as we know.
Have tried?
Nothing tells us they succeeded.
Does it suit us?
When a traitor ceases his activity, it suits us.
But he had already stopped.
We had no reason to doubt him.
If you had seen the repercussions in Paris,
you would have understood that it was not in our interests.
Because he appeared in the papers?
It's in the press because it's fake.
If it had been true, no one would have found out.
You're not the only one asking questions.
Plus, you knew him. It's normal.
Sylvain...we're not killing our agents.
This requires exceptional circumstances. A necessity.
And that wasn't the case then.
I'm not made for this. I wasn't trained for this.
I'm in Cambodia,
at the center of this ultra-secret Russia thing.
If I get caught, they'll torture me for weeks on end.
No, they'll shake you a little
then they will negotiate.
We'll have to pay dearly, but we'll get you back.
Sasha
Hello sweetheart!
Where do you get this number?
Someone gave it to me.
Who?
Aren't you glad you see me?
No.
You don't call me on this number.
I just want to tell you something important:
I accept the job.
What job?
But on one condition.
What job, Sacha?
I want to bring my girlfriend along.
Sveta?
Yes, Sveta.
You pay for her trip and what she needs to get started.
Are you talking to me live or is this a recording?
A little of both.
So?
Agreed.
Great.
Goodbye, Vera.
Goodbye, Sylvain.
I was a pleasure seeing you. I'll miss you.
I will miss you.
Do they suspect me?
They suspect everyone who were affected by Malotru's death.
You mean everyone?
Few knew about the Americans.
The two of us, at least.
Do you suspect me?
Did you or not?
It's not me.
It's not me.
The office was stupid
but I wouldn't make a fool of myself.
Either you are sincere or you are very strong.
I'm very strong.
See you soon, Amelie.
See you soon, Mr.Mortier.
Embrace Beatrice.
Paris Institute Of Psychiatry And Psychoanalysis, Dr.Evguenia Abramovitch
Sit here, Mr.Angel.
What brings you here?
I hear voices.
Who's talking to you?
No, these are voices talking to each other.
In what context?
The first time,
I thought I heard from a salon.
Then I was in my living room.
I was stressed, I wasn't sleeping enough, I wasn't paying attention.
It seemed, it were the neighbors.
What did they say?
I wasn't trying to understand.
I was working in an office.
I could hear the voices from somewhere, I tried to focus.
But one day, I don't know why,
the voices became louder.
Or the conversation became more lively. I don't know.
I left the office...
to see...
I opened the office door next door.
And there was nobody there.
No.
What did you do?
I went back to my office. But it got me worried. I was on the alert.
Did the voices return?
Yes, many a times.
What country were you at, Mr.Angel?
Russia.
What do you do, Mr.Angel?
I'm a diplomat.
I'm leaving soon, to another country,
and I have to tell you that I'm worried.
I'm afraid because of this I won't be able to leave.
I'm going to prescribe you some neuroleptics.
And I'm going to direct you to a colleague for a consultation.
One without the other does not work.
Do you think I won't be accepted because of this?
Do you hear voices now?
No.
Did you get the idea to schedule yourself
or were you recommended?
It was me.
That's a good sign.
Thank you, Doctor.
Mr.Angel?
Yes?
Did you come to me because I'm Russian?
Are you Russian?
Evguenia Abramovitch, yes, I'm Russian.
If you had spent any time in Russia, you would have known.
That's right, I wasn't paying attention.
Goodbye, Doctor.
Former neighbor.
Evguenia Abramovitch, Psychiatrist.
No accent. Russian really?
Probably an FSB informant.

I know what you feel.
Sadness and rancor to be betrayed by those you served.
Anger, regret, the feeling that everything is stained.
You, who were trying to fix a mistake.
A simple mistake.
I just wanted you to know
by what means your new friends found out
what happened there,
in Donbass that day.
It's was the Jordanians.
You know this.
You know what that means.
Samara: I want you.
As you know, I didn't have the same goal as the Americans.
It only served us as a means for an infiltration operation.
You can become our agent in the heart of FSB.
The Directorate has decided that after that,
you could come back.
You will not be tracked or removed.
Me too. Are you coming back?
You will be able to resume your life before Syria,
before all the mistakes were made.
If you agree to click "Validate".
The rest will come.
All the best.
JJA.
