Le Bureau des Legendes (2015) s02e03 Episode Script

Season 2, Episode 3

THESE CHARACTERS AND SITUATIONS ARE FICTIONAL.
ANY RESEMBLANCE TO REAL LIFE IS ACCIDENTAL.
THE BUREAU I have to go.
OK.
Could anyone else identify Chevalier from this new execution video? I don't think so.
We need to be sure.
If the name Boumaza gets out, our operation is screwed.
Honestly, there's nothing new.
Is she the target now? Yes.
- Not him? - Not anymore.
She called me.
Her brother Yacim is resistant.
But we may have a chance with her.
We had to try.
How is it going? We don't know yet.
I'm waiting to meet her.
And the goal is to lure Chevalier into our trap? - It is.
- Well? - She's the bait? - Possibly.
OK.
Two things.
She absolutely has to get him out of ISIS-controlled territory.
There's nothing we can do in Raqqa or Mosul.
He must be brought to the Turkish border.
That could work, with a girl.
He has to come to protect her.
She goes over there.
She asks him to meet her, to escort her across the border.
Let's hope he's close to his sister.
Secondly, make sure she's not playing both sides.
Lots of girls lead a double life.
Two phones, two Facebook accounts.
They all seem nice.
"I'm a nurse" or "I'm a teacher".
But they're secretly making bombs and hiding weapons on orders from their husbands or brothers.
Nice code name.
MOTHER TERESA I want surveillance on everyone around her.
Even the neighbour's dog should wear a wire.
She's on the bus.
A-OK.
Grandma here.
Where does she get off? Quatre Chemins.
I'm on my way.
At least phone batteries can't be removed now.
In her case it would make no difference.
Her phone GPS has an internal battery.
What about the mic? What would you get that to work? I'd draw from the GPS battery.
OK.
We'd only have a problem if she didn't take her phone.
- Yes? - Hello there.
I'm the nurse, for the vaccination.
Third floor.
Grandpa here.
Status? Shh, it's starting.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Is it the DPT vaccination? - Yes.
I'll get it.
It's in the fridge.
What's that noise? By the way, I may have already had the booster shot.
I'm not sure.
No health records? I lost them.
She's already had the shot.
She's afraid to have it again.
There's no risk, even if you've already had it.
Phew! I have to tell you, I hate injections.
I'll be gentle.
- There, it's done.
- Really? - I didn't feel a thing.
- Here's an analgesic, in case you have any fever or pain.
It hurts already.
It's like a cramp.
- Do you have painkillers here? - Yes.
In the bathroom.
- Should I get them? - That's kind of you.
I'm so slow with this thing.
Last door on the left, in the medicine cabinet.
Do you have your insurance card? In my bag.
I'll get it.
How did the others manage? People like Philby, Ames, Penkovski, those double agents.
Did they think about it all the time? When they went to work each day what did they think of themselves? Were they ashamed? Were they excited? Were they sad? Give me a better world that I can fight for.
Give me a dictatorship that I can resist.
Give me an addiction that I can satisfy.
What were they thinking, when they sat at their desks and began another day of destruction? My grandmother makes them.
She's from Brittany.
We're in trouble now! - Yes.
- Thanks.
TEHRAN, IRAN YOU NEED TO CLARIFY CARAMEL'S ROLE WITH REGARDS TO HIS FATHER Caramel! She's just left.
RECENT PLACES NO DOCUMENTS She's a devout Muslim.
She's more likely to trust a woman.
She may reveal things she wouldn't to a man.
It's not credible.
Jihadist defense lawyers are all men.
Why? Because the fighters are men.
Here's a list of women experienced in this field.
They handle the mothers, sisters and wives.
Only a woman can recruit Sabrina.
A woman who'll follow her into ISIS war zones? - Yes.
- Are you that woman? Yes.
Céline, if you can't lie to a politician, you won't be able to lie to a terrorist.
Stay on this case.
Your help is invaluable.
But there's no way I'm sending you on such a dangerous mission.
Your field is your Syrian sources.
That's still pretty good.
May I? Sure.
Did Sciences Po teach you how to lie to politicians? I need to learn that if I'm to lie to terrorists.
If you want to lie to anyone, your mother, your boss, a torturer or the French president, you only need to know one thing: how to lie to yourself.
How do you know where I studied? Information gets around.
It's not classified.
Sciences Po in Menton, specializing in the Middle East.
You read up on me? Yes.
Why? Your background interests me.
Why? Curiosity.
How far did your curiosity take you? Is it a crime? No, but don't you have better things to do than check up on your colleagues? Check up? Looking up a person's studies isn't checking up.
What is it, then? Aren't you interested in where I come from? No.
OK.
Sorry to have bothered you.
Are you on a mission? Is this part of some inquiry? Not at all.
Be neutral.
Neutral.
Don't reveal whether I'm right or not.
Sit down.
Look at me without moving.
Put on a blank face.
Give nothing away.
Nothing.
Be neither warm nor cold.
Smile slightly.
That's too much.
I should be wondering if you're smiling or not.
Find an answer as neutral as your expression.
Were you asked to question me? And if I was? Would you tell me? No.
Very good.
Thank you.
Ever heard of Nadia El Mansour? She's an academic who disappeared six months ago.
We think she's in Lebanon, or worse, Syria.
I think she's in jail in Syria.
I'd like to know more.
- Can you give me a reason? - No.
I can look into it.
Thank you.
You studied literature and humanities at Louis Le Grand, failed twice to get into ENS and ended up at INALCO.
DAMASCUS, SYRIA Thank you, Ahmad.
Take the files.
Hi, Zyad.
How are you, Basem? Is the room ready? No, we were waiting for you.
Good.
Let's go.
Judge Munjid Badran.
When did you learn that Paul Lefebvre was working for the DGSE? Much later, in Paris.
Just before I was brought back here.
All that time you were his mistress and you didn't know? Does the smoke bother you? I can see that it does.
It won't hurt me not to finish it.
When did the affair start? When we saw each other again, in Paris.
Not before, in Damascus? No.
OK.
You know what my wife would say, if she saw this? "That smells like sex.
" I suggest you be honest with me, Mrs El Mansour.
I'm sorry.
Let's start from the beginning.
TEHRAN, IRAN Look.
Are you sure? What? They think they're at the zoo but they're the animals.
- Stop.
They saw us.
- So what? I saw them too.
- Are you afraid of Pasdaran? - I'm not used to this.
He's not coming.
Shapur is a pain.
It's always the same.
He asks me to come over and I wait for hours.
- He's in a meeting, right? - Yes, with his father.
Does he work with him? Let's go for a swim.
I'm hot.
- How was the water? - Great.
Thanks.
Are you interested in me? - What? - Do I interest you? Don't you understand what I'm saying? Do I interest you? That question can mean different things to different people.
Stop blabbering.
Daria told me you asked what I was doing with my father.
Is that bad? Why do you want to know? I don't know.
In France we tell each other what we do.
It's often the first thing we tell people.
I don't want to tell you what I do for my father.
OK, no problem.
I'll show you instead.
Are you free tomorrow at 3 pm? I can be.
Meet me here.
You'll see what I do.
And stop being afraid of me.
It's annoying.
So'? Nothing special.
She's too skinny.
I like her like that.
Excuse me.
I'm looking for this room.
That's the experts' court.
It's this way.
The session has started.
Hurry.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
I'm a little late.
This music we just heard is an insult to traditional music and to the values of Islam.
Mr Zamani, you produce and distribute this music.
You must be severely sanctioned to set an example for others.
You are the heroic generation of the Islamic Revolution.
It is the responsibility of my generation to receive and pass on your glorious legacy.
We share the same objective: to protect our identity against attacks from the West and from counter-revolutionary forces.
In this righteous battle are we not allowed to be modern, like our enemy? I believe we are.
"In a country, the road to reform "travels through culture.
" Your empty words won't convince us.
Those are not my words.
They belong to the Ayatollah Khomeini, father of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
They didn't dare convict me.
Look at me.
Are you afraid of me? Do I have a beard? A turban? Scary eyes? No.
I don't care about Iranian rap, but selling it to the mullahs is awesome.
The video will go viral and inspire others.
The next challenge is a bikini parade.
This is how I help my father.
I'm preparing Iran for its future.
Tell me, Shapur, why did you invite a pretty foreigner rather than my niece? How should I take this? I told Daria.
Marina speaks good Farsi.
I get by.
I was joking, Miss.
Did you like his argument? He was brilliant.
Brilliant and provocative.
Shapur has taken a Persian proverb to heart.
"A bad reputation beats living in the shadows.
" But don't forget, in the light you are an easier target.
May God be with you.
A DUTY TO AC RADICALIZATION, JIHAD.
FAMILIES, ACT BEFORE THEY GO.
Is your leg OK? It's nothing.
I'm used to it.
It's stiffening up.
You need magnesium.
- How do you know that? - I'm a nurse.
Are you waiting for I'm here to see Matthieu.
- Matthieu? - Coujard.
- Right.
- The lawyer.
- You too? - Yes.
Have you just returned? From where? Sorry.
I thought you were like me.
I'm here for my brother.
- In any case, he's the best.
- Is he? I'd give him my leg if he asked.
Sorry for the wait.
- Goodbye.
- Bye.
I'll see you next, OK? - This way.
- Sorry.
I don't know if Rachid told you what I do.
He just told Yacim you could help my brother.
- Your brother? - Toufik.
That's right.
Tell me about him.
He's my older brother.
He left two years ago.
We hear from him occasionally.
First he went to Yemen, then Palestine, and now Syria.
OK.
- Do you know where? - No.
- Do you know with whom? - ISIS.
- Have a seat.
- Thank you.
And you, what do you want? I want him to come home.
Why? Why? Because I'm afraid something will happen to him.
I'm sure he didn't realise what he was getting into.
Now he's afraid he'll be arrested for terrorism.
My brother is no terrorist.
Neither is Ibrahim.
The guy in the waiting room? He didn't go to prison.
It is avoidable, you know, with a good lawyer.
But has he told you he wants to come home? - No, we don't speak.
- He doesn't call? Not for months now.
My mother's going crazy.
She's on medication.
- And you think he wants to come home? - I don't know if he does.
But I want to help him.
I see.
What is it? He won't tell you the truth on the phone.
No one says anything on the phone.
You have to go and see him and talk face to face.
- Are you close? - Yes.
How close? I'm his little sister.
He raised me, more than my mother did.
He told me to study nursing.
- Did he tell you he was leaving? - No.
The recruiters forbid it.
He left very early one morning, around 4 o'clock.
The night before he He wanted to sleep next to me.
When I woke up, I noticed his pillow was soaking wet.
I had slept but he had cried all night long.
That's how I knew he wasn't sure.
- Did he leave you something? - Yes.
This.
Men like your brother, the Islamists steal their souls.
If you want him to get his soul back, you need to remind him of his old life.
People and objects from before.
You have to go and see him.
It costs money to go there.
The association could cover the expense.
OK.
And how much do you cost? Whatever you can contribute.
I make money from other cases.
Think about it and let me know.
- OK? - I'll do that.
- Goodbye.
- Have a good day.
- Can I bother you for a second? - It's a five-floor ride.
I'm making a limited list of potential suspects.
Limited by what? I looked for any possible link with the US.
People who lived, studied or went on holiday there.
People who like American movies, hamburgers whatever.
The first person on the list is Dr Balmés.
She doesn't work here anymore.
She left right after the Cyclone affair.
Her husband died in 9/11, in one of the planes.
Fine.
What of it? I'm going to try to draw her out into the open.
Henri, be very careful.
Be extremely discreet.
I know.
Some people simply like hamburgers.
- If you get caught, you're fired.
- I know.
- See you Friday.
- Goodbye.
- Hello, Doctor.
- Hello.
Please, after you.
Have a seat.
It's good to see you.
You too.
How have you been? Very well.
I'm a bit taken aback.
I didn't think I'd see you here.
In fact, I doubt it's a good idea.
It was a good idea for Malotru.
You still call him Malotru? When he asked to continue seeing me, I thought about it.
In fact, I asked you what you thought.
Yes, I remember.
I still believe it's a good thing.
He can speak more freely about his past than with someone else.
What about his present? I will assume that you aren't here for a consultation.
Why are you here? I know you'll refuse, but I have to ask you about him.
Things you may know that I don't.
Nothing intimate, I promise.
Facts, just facts.
Why would I do something so unethical? You served your country and you continue to do so.
- I don't work for the DGSE.
- Yes, you resigned.
I'm aware.
Why, exactly? My mission was too ambiguous.
You know what I mean.
There was no ambiguity whatsoever.
At the time you asked me to treat Debailly even though I was hired to treat the agents.
Your requests are always twisted.
I guess I should take that as a compliment.
DAMASCUS, SYRIA How about a little walk? - Isn't it nice to be outside? - It is.
Let's talk while we walk.
When you were seeing the French agent in Paris, what did you say about the talks you were involved in? Nothing.
- You must think I'm a fool.
- I haven't betrayed any secrets.
It's me they were spying on.
I was framed.
Of course.
You're not to blame for anything.
It wasn't you.
I'd like to believe you.
A frame-up.
And you answered seemingly trivial questions.
Basically, they fooled you.
Perhaps.
But I didn't betray anyone.
I didn't say anything.
Not even in the heat of the moment? - What do you mean? - Or after? I don't understand.
No pillow talk? Nadia, can you look me in the eye and tell me that you remember everything you told Paul Lefebvre when you were quivering in his arms? Let's go inside.
Block the windows.
I want it dark.
Remove the bulbs.
No bathroom runs for 48 hours.
Yes, sir.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- How are you? - Good.
Come in.
Thank you.
Ready? You're the only one who doesn't hurt me.
Thank you.
You're done.
- I'm going to go and lie down.
- OK.
Thank you.
May I use the bathroom? - Of course.
- Thank you.
You're late again.
- I tried twice.
Everything OK? - Fine.
What about you? I'm OK.
- Are you near the bombing? - No.
Don't worry.
I'm nowhere near there.
It's quiet here.
Like a normal country.
Don't believe what you hear.
On TV they say many foreign fighters have been killed.
They're exaggerating.
I told you, the media follows orders.
EL-SALAAM HOSPITAL MOSUL - IRAQ It still seems dangerous.
Come back.
Your place is here, with us.
My brothers need me to fight at their side.
Mum and I need you too.
Tell Mum I'm happy here.
I can be myself here.
How can you be happy when We're sad because of you.
I left for you.
I'm making room for you in this kingdom.
I'm interceding with Allah on your behalf.
I have to tell you something.
- Mum is sick.
- Is she still depressed? No, it's worse.
It could be cancer.
She's making it up.
The mother's fine, except for the depression.
Since when? She's been having tests for the past two weeks.
I'll pray for her.
Allah will protect her.
Only He can heal her.
You have to stay strong, sister.
I'll call you soon.
At least she's not a secret jihadist.
She wants him to come back.
She's ready.
How can you tell? She didn't mention you.
Here you go.
We played with that a lot when I was six and he was ten.
He must be dead by now.
We raised him together.
He won that in his chess club.
He was really proud of it.
This is exactly what I meant.
Objects that remind him of your relationship.
But I'm ashamed.
I lied to you.
Excuse me? I'm in contact with him.
We call each other.
- Really? - Yes.
We have a complex system, just in case.
So I don't get in trouble.
OK.
I'm glad you told me.
You were right.
It won't work over the phone.
I have to look into his eyes.
His eyes won't lie to me.
If you go, you have a good chance of bringing him back.
I'll help you.
TEHRAN, IRAN Look at this.
- What do you see here? - Nothing.
In ten years the country's capital may be here.
A capital with earthquake-proof buildings.
I need a detailed seismic evaluation.
You're going there next week.
I've signed your travel order.
Keep it with you at all times.
Don't forget you're in Iran.
You could run into overzealous policemen.
We'll work out the logistics later.
OK, thank you.
By the way, the Zamanis ordered the study.
Shapur Zamani will be travelling with you.
In fact, he recommended you.
- That's nice of him.
- Nice? It's self-serving, if you ask me.
Well? I told Dr Balmés that I needed information on Debailly.
She didn't take the bait.
She didn't ask questions.
She places ethics before curiosity.
Either it's not her or she is really good.
RECRUITMENT WAS CONSIDERED IN LIGHT OF THE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AND MRS EL MANSOUR.
I made progress on Nadia El Mansour.
Do you know him? No.
Judge Munjid Badran.
- He's handling her case.
- And? He's one of Bashar's most fearsome judges.
When the justice system was purged he was appointed to set examples.
Whenever he takes a case, it's a sign.
That it will end badly.
Thanks.
Well done.
- Wow, you're really good - At what? At hiding your feelings.
You knew I would find the recruitment file.
Did you think I wouldn't guess it was you whose name was blacked out? You learn to take the hits.
They come from within, not without.
Your feelings are your worst enemy.
Hide them, bury them.
Or they will betray you.
They'll bring you down.
Never show how frightened you are when you learn such news, news that drains all your strength, and when you realise that the one thing that gives you hope is on the verge of collapse.
- Can I talk to you? - Yes.
The Iran desk has received this telegram from Tehran.
An informer warning that the photo of a French female researcher was tacked onto a wall in a Pasdaran office.
Someone named Marina Loiseau.
And? It showed her with Shapur Zamani who seems to be a Pasdaran target.
They're mounting an operation against Shapur and his gang.
I thought you'd want to know.
Thank you.
Clément? What you just uncovered, Phénoméne's real identity, must not leave this room.
IMMEDIATE EXFILTRATION YOUR GRANDMOTHER IS DEAD Duflot here.
I have a message for Tehran, an emergency procedure.
The code is 65-14-8 Golf Tango.
That's it.
Awaiting your confirmation.
Make sure the students do a complete mapping of the formations.
OK.
Call me if you have any problems.
OK, thank you.
Your French girl has nice eyes.
Are you screwing her? Are you crazy? That's not my style.
OK.
She's a seismologist.
A very honest one.
Hello? No, she isn't here.
May I take a message? I'm afraid she's just left on a mission.
She'll be back in a week.
Her grandmother? Dear God.
Can I ride with you? The other van is full.
Marina! We're really organizing a desert rave, aren't we? Sure, why not? You can never be sure if I'm serious or not.
Whether I'm organizing a rave, a rap concert or a study for Westinghouse or Toshiba.
Is this study for a foreign company? No, it's for my father, at the request of a foreign company.
What my father can't do in the open, I do behind the scenes.
Nothing beats a great party! Shit! What are you doing, you dickhead? What's wrong with you? Come here, arsehole! What are you doing? What's happening? What are you doing? What's going on?
