Le Bureau des Legendes (2015) s01e10 Episode Script
Episode 10
THE CHARACTERS AND SITUATIONS IN THIS SERIES ARE PURELY FICTIONAL.
ANY RESEMBLANCE TO EXISTING PEOPLE OR SITUATIONS IS COINCIDENTAL.
THE BUREAU SIX DAYS EARLIER - Good morning.
- Morning.
Is there any news from Marina Loiseau? Not yet.
- Morning.
- Good morning.
But I do have news about Nadia El Mansour.
I did some research and I can fill you in on the situation.
Why were you researching her? For you.
Why? I don't know.
I thought you wouldn't allow yourself to do it, so I asked a few people in the Syrian office.
And why wouldn't I do that myself? Have you been able to find out what's going on? - No.
- Well, I have.
Do you want me to tell you? Go on.
There's no news.
They are saying she's touring Asia for the Foundation.
No one's questioning her absence.
No organisation is worried about her.
Even her family doesn't seem worried.
I don't know what that means, but that's what I know.
Thank you.
No problem.
I want to thank you.
Did they let you in? Yes, they gave me access to the monitoring system.
There.
That's them.
What happens if the Lefkir mole can't get them here within a week? He'll be discovered and killed.
He knows that.
How do you think he'll do it? I don't know.
If it was me, I'd put a scorpion in Cyclone's boxers.
He wouldn't last a week without treatment.
But how will he persuade the others to go to that particular clinic? Raymond OK, I'll shut up.
Thanks for your help.
Coming.
I want to talk to you about Nadia El Mansour.
Nadia El Mansour? I think she's been imprisoned somewhere.
She's supposed to be on a Foundation tour but there's no trace of her.
I think she's been arrested.
So? Can we do something to help her? The only thing we can do, Guillaume, is hand her file over to Foreign Affairs.
Help can only be given on a diplomatic level and that's not going to happen.
Things are changing very quickly.
You've not been back long but since then, the entire game has shifted.
The rules have been reversed.
Before, there was Syria, the Americans, and us.
Now, there's Syria and the Americans against Islamic State.
Syria, Russia, Iran Everyone will be together against Islamic State.
I guarantee you the Americans will choose an intermediary soon to talk to the Syrians.
They won't talk to them directly.
But in this new game, we're at the back of the bus.
Right at the back.
People don't want to see or talk to us.
So go to Foreign Affairs, ask them to take action towards Nadia El Mansour's release.
Bashar al-Assad will ask, "Why would I do that?" We're allies now.
"You like me now.
"If I say no, what will you do? "Nothing.
"So I'm saying no.
" So? They're not going anywhere.
They go to the village nearby, they come back Sometimes they go over there.
34 km from their camp.
I've no idea what's there.
Maybe it's where they take a crap.
What's the point of staying in front of your screen all day? So I can keep a close eye on Cyclone.
Come on.
What about you? Nothing.
I'm sick of it.
Marie-Jeanne! Phone.
Yes? No.
Are you sure? OK, thank you.
She is on the passenger list for the Paris/Tbilisi flight, but not Tbilisi/Tehran.
A passenger says they made a woman disembark.
- They? - The crew.
Shit.
I'll go and tell them.
Yes? Why am I here? I need to let people know.
- When are you leaving? - End of next week.
- Where are you going? - South, Ardèche.
You never go very far.
I never fly.
Why not? Because I'm scared.
What are you scared of? I don't know.
I'm scared of dying, of being frightened.
I know, it's ridiculous.
You know that crashes are very rare.
Statistics don't work on me.
Yes, I know what you mean.
I'm like you.
Look at us.
It's very rare we have an issue with one of our agents.
Nigh on impossible.
So two catastrophes are really impossible.
And yet The passengers on the second Malaysian Airlines flight used the same reasoning.
The one that crashed in Ukraine.
Will you bring me back some candied chestnuts? Yes, no need to ask.
Sir.
Cuban.
- Puerto Rican.
- No, thank you.
Try this one instead.
Mr Vincent, I presume? Mr al-Khatib.
The message you left with my secretary was intriguing enough to interest me.
Even more so since we never had a chance to meet when you were Mr Paul Lefebvre.
I'm listening.
Do you have any news about Nadia El Mansour? No.
If you did have news, would you be able to help her? No, I don't think so.
Could you get a message to someone who could help her? What message? I want to make an offer.
It would have to be a very attractive one.
Those who've sent me think my presence here is attraction enough.
The Americans.
They've picked me because I'm a safe intermediary and I'm undetectable.
Who can prove that to me? Ask for confirmation and you'll get it.
A statement on Al Jazeera coming from the CIA stating that Syria's chemical weapons are being demobilised.
You'll have it.
Is French intelligence at the DGSE in the know? No, of course not.
I'm trying to obtain what they've denied me.
Nadia El Mansour's life.
And her freedom.
Once I've had the confirmation we've discussed, I might be able to get in touch with my friends to see if we can find a solution.
Hello.
Mr Vincent? Yes.
Mr Hachem al-Khatib would like to meet you for lunch next Saturday.
Is this convenient? Yes.
He suggests you meet him at his lawyer's flat, Mr Chehlaoui.
He's not in Paris right now but he's happy for you to use his flat.
Fine.
What time do you call this? I went home for an hour to have a shower.
Good.
Perhaps it'll be like a match.
Nothing happens for 75 minutes, then I go for a piss and someone scores a goal.
Any news on Loiseau? No.
It worked.
They've moved 200 km towards Felis.
- So they're on their way? - They are.
It seems they're on the move.
Slowly.
It's the calm before the storm.
Have we covered everything? Yes.
You know where to find us.
It's hard to give your baby up, right? It's his baby.
I've been in your shoes, you know.
And when the assholes from Head of Operations take over "Ciao, bye, off you go, "thanks for your ideas but now it's our turn.
" I used to hate that.
- We'll keep you updated.
- Thank you.
Do you mind if I take a few days off? - Now? - Yes.
Why now? Things are happening this weekend.
- What do you want me to do? - Don't leave me on my own.
You can phone me.
I'm just joking.
Take three days off.
You're right not to hang around, hoping they'll keep us informed.
- What are you going to do? - I'm going to see my father.
It'll give me something to do.
With a bit of luck you'll ring me during the night to say it's over.
OK.
Come in.
I'm leaving for a few days.
I wanted to see you.
OK.
What about Loiseau? I'm not worried.
She's alone in the wild and you're not worried.
Not really.
She's been trained for this.
You're testing her, right? You know where she is.
- No.
- Is it to see how I react? - To check I'm doing my job properly? - No.
You're right.
I agree with you.
It feels a lot like a test.
But I swear it's not from here.
It's not from me.
- Do you expect me to believe you? - I promise you.
I'm not worried because you've trained her.
And I know that wherever she is she'll be OK.
OK.
Mr Vincent.
Mr Chehlaoui.
I wasn't going to be here, but I was able to rearrange my schedule.
Take a seat.
Hachem won't be long.
Would you like something to drink while we wait for him? Gin, whisky, or perhaps a glass of wine? I'd rather get down to business if that's OK.
Can you tell me what right you have to make an offer to a Syrian citizen in our name? The offer was addressed to you.
- To us as well? - To you alone.
How did you know we had microphones in the cigar room at the Forum Hotel? Do you think the CIA can install mics in a public area without French intelligence knowing? At least when we want to get a message to you we know how.
What are we talking about exactly? I was put in contact with a Syrian intelligence agent.
Nadim El Bachir.
He tried to recruit me.
I suggest we re-establish the contact so you can communicate with Syrian intelligence discreetly.
Why would that interest us? If it doesn't interest you, then I shouldn't be here.
Why isn't French intelligence sorting this out themselves? - Sorting what out? - Mrs El Mansour's release.
Because they have neither the resources nor the will.
- And we do? - That's why I'm making this offer.
Why would we have the resources the help you? If you don't, then no one can help her.
I'll have tried everything.
I assume you have procedures for this type of situation.
I'm willing to cooperate.
One moment.
I'd like a drink, please.
You're definitely willing to cooperate? Yes.
Will you take a lie detector test? Yes.
We'll have to move this interrogation to a more appropriate location.
You mustn't know where we're taking you.
Can you take your jacket off, please? I'm sorry.
I understand.
You want my knickers? This is Tehran, this is Tbilisi.
Iranian and Georgian secret services have been in contact a lot recently.
Malotru was right.
As always.
- No? - Yes.
The Iranians are testing Loiseau with help from their Georgian friends.
Whatever happens, we don't make a move.
We'll compromise her position.
We must pray she doesn't panic and try to contact us.
It's what they're waiting for.
- Do you think she'll resist? - Yes.
She has to.
Yes.
She absolutely has to.
Hello? Reza, hi, it's Marina.
- I'm sorry - Marina! We're all worried, where are you? We waited three days at the airport without any news.
I can't talk for long.
I'm at the Tbilisi stopover.
They took me off the plane.
I don't understand why.
They say there's something in my suitcase.
I'm stuck in a hotel near the airport.
Reza, you need to help me.
I'll see what I can do.
Which hotel? Near the airport.
It's written in Russian.
Wait, I'm going to ask.
Tbilisi Hotel, I think.
OK.
Don't move.
Don't worry.
I'll sort this out.
We'll get you out of there.
Thank you.
Here.
You must need it.
I must ask you to remove your tie.
My phone? You'll get it back at the end of the session.
I'm waiting on some important calls.
People will notice if I don't answer.
You won't be able to answer, Mr Debailly.
There are some calls where it will be suspicious if I don't answer.
I'll be asked why I didn't pick up.
An excuse may work, but it's taking a risk.
If you don't let me answer, you've already decided we won't be working together.
Can we begin? What's your name? Guillaume Debailly.
Where do you work? DGSE, French intelligence.
Hello? They're 50 km away.
I think it's going to happen tonight.
Fine.
Thank you.
Are you OK? Yes, I'm fine.
What about you? Yeah, I'm OK.
Good.
Keep me updated.
Of course.
We need to talk, Guillaume.
They're wondering if they can trust you.
If they think they can, you're going home.
If not, they'll throw you in prison and wait for France to demand your extradition.
That makes sense.
They asked me what I thought.
And? I asked to speak to you before I gave them an answer.
Are we starting up our sessions again? No.
I wanted to warn you what I'm going to tell them.
Go on.
Obviously I don't think you're trustworthy.
You've betrayed the DGSE, you've betrayed Nadia El Mansour, you've even betrayed your family.
You rush forwards so you don't have to look back.
You're very skilled and probably a first-class agent.
I think you are extremely dangerous.
You're so obsessed with self-control that you've lost Stop.
Has it not occurred to you that I was in love? That I had feelings and that I didn't want it to end? Despite the rules and instructions.
I made one mistake.
One.
And since then I've been trying to fix it.
Maybe I do rush forwards, as you say.
But it's not so that I can avoid looking back.
I look at myself and I see myself.
And I don't like what I see.
But I'm doing everything I can to fix my mistake.
I've always been fascinated by the power of denial.
If you think you're here because of love, you're kidding yourself.
You're here because you want another mission.
So you can put a mask back on.
You crave a double life.
You need to pretend.
That's why you're dangerous.
Because that need is insatiable.
Fine.
You've told me what you think.
Now tell me what you're going to tell them.
What makes you think it won't be the same thing? The twisted side of you.
I'm going to tell them exactly the same thing.
You're sending me to prison, then.
I'm sorry.
How long have you been working for them? Haven't you guessed? From the start.
Hello? It's begun.
Good.
Are you with them? No.
OK, thanks.
Hello.
Can I speak to Marcel Gaingouin? It's Guillaume Debailly.
Mr Gaingouin is unavailable.
Please try again, it's important.
Please hold.
Gaingouin.
What's going on? I think you should have Raymond Sisteron with you.
Is that what's important? - Yes.
- It's a no.
Marcel.
How will you know he's there? Your guys on the ground, they've seen files and photos of Cyclone in a turban with a three-month beard.
How will you be 100% sure he's there? I'll see what I can do.
Thank you.
Where did Guillaume go? For a weekend in the South.
In the South? To see his father, I think.
Good idea.
What are we doing here? We're just hanging around.
Why aren't we at home? I should have gone away too.
- What about the boss? - He's shut himself in his office.
Is that me? No, it's me.
Hi there, cousin.
I've finally arrived.
The flat is nice, but a bit loud.
I'm at work all day though, so it doesn't matter.
It was lucky my boss could help or I don't know how I'd have got out of that hotel.
The Russians are such assholes.
Tell me, how are things in Paris? Is it sunny? Raymond! Mr Gaingouin just rang.
He wants you in the crisis room.
Shit.
Thank you.
Raymond? Let us know what happens.
We'll be here.
- I'm going to the crisis room.
- OK.
Loiseau contacted Marie-Jeanne.
Everything's fine.
Good, at least that's something.
They're coming.
Two pick-ups have just arrived.
I can see eight men.
- Two in the first pick-up's cabin - And the other camera? two in the back.
There are four men in the second pick-up.
OK, we don't know why they're here.
We assume it's because somebody's ill, but we can't be certain.
We don't know if Cyclone is with them, or if he's ill.
We don't know if anyone's ill.
Let them go if Cyclone isn't with them.
They're about 20 m away.
They've kept their motors running.
What are they doing? They're suspicious, General.
Can I talk? Yes, Mr Gaingouin.
Is Cyclone with them? Impossible to say.
Don't do anything until we've identified Cyclone.
Understood.
Our doctor is going to see them.
He's a Libyan doctor from Benghazi.
They won't suspect he works for us.
They want the doctor to examine him in the truck.
He won't be able to identify Cyclone.
He doesn't know him.
Look for scars.
The doctor needs to look for scars.
Where? His appendix and he had a cyst removed from his chest.
He had stitches in his right leg.
His forehead At the top on the right.
He's only got one ball.
He had an ectopic testis.
- Did you hear that? - Yes.
Telling him now.
The doctor's going to take a look.
If he takes his cap off, it's definitely Cyclone.
It's Cyclone.
The doctor's given the sign.
It's definitely Cyclone.
- You can go ahead.
- Understood.
We've got Cyclone! I repeat, we have Cyclone.
He's alive.
OK.
Thank you.
Hello? They got him out.
It's over.
That's good.
It's thanks to you.
See you at the office.
I'll be there early.
What are you doing? - I'm making a phone call.
- You're a pain for waking me up.
Have you not slept? No.
You look awful.
It's work.
It's not just that.
You look old.

Fine.

Are you OK? Yes, I'm fine.
What about you? Yeah, I'm OK.
Good.
Keep me updated.
Of course.
We need to talk, Guillaume.
They're wondering if they can trust you.
If they think they can, you're going home.
If not, they'll throw you in prison and wait for France to demand your extradition.
That makes sense.
They asked me what I thought.
And? I asked to speak to you before I gave them an answer.
Are we starting up our sessions again? No.
I wanted to warn you what I'm going to tell them.
Go on.
Obviously I don't think you're trustworthy.
You've betrayed the DGSE, you've betrayed Nadia El Mansour, you've even betrayed your family.
You rush forwards so you don't have to look back.
You're very skilled and probably a first-class agent.
I think you are extremely dangerous.
You're so obsessed with self-control that you've lost Stop.
Has it not occurred to you that I was in love? That I had feelings and that I didn't want it to end? Despite the rules and instructions.
I made one mistake.
One.
And since then I've been trying to fix it.
Maybe I do rush forwards, as you say.
But it's not so that I can avoid looking back.
I look at myself and I see myself.
And I don't like what I see.
But I'm doing everything I can to fix my mistake.
I've always been fascinated by the power of denial.
If you think you're here because of love, you're kidding yourself.
You're here because you want another mission.
So you can put a mask back on.
You crave a double life.
You need to pretend.
That's why you're dangerous.
Because that need is insatiable.
Fine.
You've told me what you think.
Now tell me what you're going to tell them.
What makes you think it won't be the same thing? The twisted side of you.
I'm going to tell them exactly the same thing.
You're sending me to prison, then.
I'm sorry.
How long have you been working for them? Haven't you guessed? From the start.
Hello? It's begun.
Good.
Are you with them? No.
OK, thanks.
Hello.
Can I speak to Marcel Gaingouin? It's Guillaume Debailly.
Mr Gaingouin is unavailable.
Please try again, it's important.
Please hold.
Gaingouin.
What's going on? I think you should have Raymond Sisteron with you.
Is that what's important? - Yes.
- It's a no.
Marcel.
How will you know he's there? Your guys on the ground, they've seen files and photos of Cyclone in a turban with a three-month beard.
How will you be 100% sure he's there? I'll see what I can do.
Thank you.
Where did Guillaume go? For a weekend in the South.
In the South? To see his father, I think.
Good idea.
What are we doing here? We're just hanging around.
Why aren't we at home? I should have gone away too.
- What about the boss? - He's shut himself in his office.
Is that me? No, it's me.
Hi there, cousin.
I've finally arrived.
The flat is nice, but a bit loud.
I'm at work all day though, so it doesn't matter.
It was lucky my boss could help or I don't know how I'd have got out of that hotel.
The Russians are such assholes.
Tell me, how are things in Paris? Is it sunny? Raymond! Mr Gaingouin just rang.
He wants you in the crisis room.
Shit.
Thank you.
Raymond? Let us know what happens.
We'll be here.
- I'm going to the crisis room.
- OK.
Loiseau contacted Marie-Jeanne.
Everything's fine.
Good, at least that's something.
They're coming.
Two pick-ups have just arrived.
I can see eight men.
- Two in the first pick-up's cabin - And the other camera? two in the back.
There are four men in the second pick-up.
OK, we don't know why they're here.
We assume it's because somebody's ill, but we can't be certain.
We don't know if Cyclone is with them, or if he's ill.
We don't know if anyone's ill.
Let them go if Cyclone isn't with them.
They're about 20 m away.
They've kept their motors running.
What are they doing? They're suspicious, General.
Can I talk? Yes, Mr Gaingouin.
Is Cyclone with them? Impossible to say.
Don't do anything until we've identified Cyclone.
Understood.
Our doctor is going to see them.
He's a Libyan doctor from Benghazi.
They won't suspect he works for us.
They want the doctor to examine him in the truck.
He won't be able to identify Cyclone.
He doesn't know him.
Look for scars.
The doctor needs to look for scars.
Where? His appendix and he had a cyst removed from his chest.
He had stitches in his right leg.
His forehead At the top on the right.
He's only got one ball.
He had an ectopic testis.
- Did you hear that? - Yes.
Telling him now.
The doctor's going to take a look.
If he takes his cap off, it's definitely Cyclone.
It's Cyclone.
The doctor's given the sign.
It's definitely Cyclone.
- You can go ahead.
- Understood.
We've got Cyclone! I repeat, we have Cyclone.
He's alive.
OK.
Thank you.
Hello? They got him out.
It's over.
That's good.
It's thanks to you.
See you at the office.
I'll be there early.
What are you doing? - I'm making a phone call.
- You're a pain for waking me up.
Have you not slept? No.
You look awful.
It's work.
It's not just that.
You look old.
