Le Bureau des Legendes (2015) s04e03 Episode Script

Season 4, Episode 3

1 Marie-Jeanne? So early? Debailly has been arrested .
I know.
Don't take it to heart.
One of our agents held by the FSB is a problem.
I agree, but it's my problem.
Let me handle this.
Go back to bed or think about something else.
If you don't mind , I'm going to try to locate my agent.
And decide what to do.
Cell number 9.
Fall in! Yes, sir.
Prisoner number 98, Zakhar Grigoriev, in the hallway! Yes, sir.
At ease.
Tell Rodion there are special instructions for this prisoner.
What are they? Don't kill him.
Hands in the air! At ease! Come with me.
You have to introduce yourself to Rodion.
Don't look in his eyes.
Why not? He's the Cannibal .
He killed a couple and their baby.
And ate them.
Your offense, prisoner.
I don't understand .
Where's the accent from? France.
Why are you here? Opposition.
We're all here for "opposition".
As far as I'm concerned , until proven otherwise, you're a pedophile.
So, Debailly let himself be arrested by the FSB.
He carried out his threat.
What is the potential damage? He could reveal the identity of all our agents.
This could compromise sources recruited by our agents.
A huge chunk of human intel , in Russian hands.
Play the last message again.
You haven’t heard the last of me.
It'll be hard, but whatever happens, whatever you hear, please try one last time to trust me.
What do you think he means? That he'll never hurt us.
That he's in FSB hands.
How can this benefit us? Why would he do that? To make amends.
That's a good one! What's to lose if we play along? He saying "use me".
Why not try? What are our other options? Asking the FSB what they'll swap for him.
The price will be high and probably political .
Debailly is a control freak, isn't he? Yes.
Let's ask for something he can't deliver.
That'll stall him.
He may even get tired trying.
Meanwhile, he won't tell the Russians anything.
It'll buy us time.
What could we ask him for? Lots of things.
Proof the Russians recruited Donald Trump.
Proof of their secret pact with Bashar el-Assad to foster the creation of Isis.
He could recruit someone from FSB's technical unit, so we can learn more on their cyber activities.
I would recommend asking for something useful .
He might very well succeed .
You truly admire him.
I know him.
Let's put him on the cyber idea.
Excellent.
If he succeeds, I'll reinstate him personally.
Moscow Bulgakov lnstitute Does "Veni Vidi Vici" ring a bell to you? - Latin.
.
.
- Regarding a Russian virus.
Latin? Deus global variables.
Of course.
Deus.
"Power Deus" in its current version.
Four months ago, it infected 142 companies around the world .
The code contained the global variables in Latin.
This screen's off limits to you.
It's not my fault it's sexy.
Why aren't you with the Technical Directorate? I'm in our Technical Directorate.
That suits me fine.
You'd do amazing things here.
We do amazing things there too.
And there's the human factor.
The human factor So, Rocambole's phone was hacked by a guy on Deus.
- Seriously? - It's a hypothesis.
I need her phone.
Bulgakov's security wiped it.
- Her other devices? - Those too.
What a drag! But she kept this in her coat.
We have something new on power Deus.
See, the human factor can be good .
Whoever hacked her phone was probably in the selfie.
That doesn't mean he deleted it.
Sorry to interrupt.
Can you prepare a brief on this? Najaf Iraq Relax.
I'm totally relaxed .
A real Buddha.
Buddha with a tie.
Ever heard of Abu Jihad? Apparently he's the Keyser Sóze of Isis.
I see.
You don't know who Keyser Sóze is.
A mythical character in a movie.
The brain behind a criminal gang who is so unassuming that the cops let him get away.
You're wondering if lode 2 is Keyser Sóze, right? Najaf Military Base Iraq I'll be next door.
The interrogation is filmed .
I'll intervene if need be.
Don't try anything without me.
I'm not a risk-taker.
I'll either be dead or under the table.
Sorry.
French? Please help me.
The Iraqis Your name is Karim Chibane.
You were born May 2, 1 1981 in Trappes, where you lived before leaving for Syria on October 3, 2012.
You delivered pizza for Burg n' Pizz.
In the late 2000s, you associated with the Ansar Al-Fath group and the el-Noor mosque, in the area media now calls Trappistan.
Trappes + Istan.
Like Afghanistan, Pakistan Et cetera.
You arrived in Aleppo on October 6, 2012 and joined the Jabhat Al-Nusra jihadist movement before joining the ranks of Isis mid-June of 2013, when the two groups began to fight each other.
Is this information accurate? I don't know anymore.
What's your name? Don't you remember? I'll continue.
You fought alongside Isis in the Nineveh province, an Iraqi province.
You belonged to the Zubayr Ibn Al-Awam katiba.
You were its emir.
You didn't fight with the katiba? I've never fought.
What did you do? I delivered mattresses.
For what? For sleeping.
You moved up a notch in Iraq .
Mattresses are bigger than pizzas.
Do you know any of these men? I saw death on their faces.
All of them? Death.
.
.
Everywhere.
I hear you stopped praying.
It's all a lie.
I pray, but I've seen too much.
Does Keyser Sóze wet his pants when he hears an F16? He wears his watch on the right.
Maybe it's the Iraqi way.
You know how you cross your fingers, so your promise won't count? It's called "taqiya".
Denial .
Same thing.
A watch on the right means you turn your back to the left.
To the West.
the infidels You can say Allah doesn't exist and deny your faith.
It doesn't count.
Allah won't blame you.
Let's continue.
France has to get me out of here.
The Iraqi army arrested you.
You know what they'll do.
You'll be jailed , perhaps sentenced to death.
Anything, but not here! Drop the pen.
Drop it! - Get out.
- I'm not done.
Almost.
That's very smart.
You act like an imbecile, we stop paying attention.
I know that technique well .
Enjoy yourself, kafir.
You don't think Isis is losing the war? We'll always find the force to keep fighting.
One day, it'll come to an end .
Your numbers are decreasing.
We'll terrorize you until your children go grey.
Have you heard of Abu Jihad? You French you have the boogey man.
We have Abu Jihad .
- You mean he doesn't exist? - That's right.
He was invented to scare deserters.
From what I know, Abu Jihad does exist.
He's the emir of your former katiba.
From what I know, the big bad wolf eats Red Riding Hood's grandmother.
In France, you deliver pizza In the sham, it's mattresses.
A smart guy like you? You are Abu Jihad ! That's it.
Today, we traded pleasantries.
Tomorrow we'll really talk.
Lefortovo Prison Suburbs of Moscow Under the bed ! How long do they leave us like this? What do they do with us, afterwards? They do the same thing to us.
Same as what? What we did to children.
Don't come out! They'll kill you! Back under the bed , prisoner! Get under the bed ! Now! Hello, Mr.
Lefevre.
Hello.
What did you do to deserve this? You tell me.
The Embassy is doing its best to find out.
We've insisted you be treated correctly.
Thank you.
Is that all you have to say? During the war, resistance fighters arrested by the Nazis were trained to hold out 24 hours under torture.
To give their comrades time to alert everyone.
To close the dead drops and cancel meetings.
After that time limit, they could spill everything.
You disappeared for several months.
Is that all? That's all I was told .
What do you make of this? He can tell us anything he wants.
It's all obsolete now.
Clearly, they want us to believe that.
- They're letting me die.
- No.
We'll do everything in our power to get you out.
Your signet ring.
My ring? - Give it to me.
- Why? Hurry up.
Give it to me.
Give it to me! - It's a family.
.
.
- I don't care.
Hurry up! Fall in, prisoner! He's a survivor.
We won't break him.
Cell number 9, at ease! For Rodion! Give it to Rodion.
From me.
Please.
What do you want in exchange? Just to sleep in peace.
It's a deal .
Move.
Najaf Military Base Iraq Quentin Garnier.
Fighter name: Abu Ahmad .
You were in the Zubayr katiba together.
He handled video production.
How do I find him? He's dead .
Where? In Bartella, in October.
Just like your brother Jawad .
You know what they say about Jawad? Some say he died fighting, guns in hand , a martyr.
Others say he died in sin.
They want to hurt me.
Allah knows the truth.
They say he was in the bad habit of sleeping with men.
That he was thrown off a roof and won't go to paradise.
That's not true.
I know he died a martyr.
Someone mistaken for him died a martyr.
With his face torn off.
The DNA isn't his.
I know you moved mountains to find out the truth.
You have doubts.
You want to know.
Was he a homosexual? Is he a martyr? I know the answer.
I know my brother was pure.
A man doesn't tell his wife everything.
Nor his brother.
But he can't hide from Google.
I can give you screen grabs from his account.
It's like reading into his soul .
If you take a look, you'll know.
My brother was a fighter and a good Muslim.
If Garnier is dead , I don't need to give you anything.
Abu Ahmad was alive three weeks ago.
He calls himself Montana to the guy who gives him money.
Money from where? Europe.
What platform? A French NGO.
"A Future for Children - Syria.
" They move the funds.
Your brother only liked redheads and amateur porn.
Just like you.
What connection can I find between these two observations? You're sulking all day long.
And you talk a lot to Liz Bernstein.
Not a lot.
I just talk to her.
So? So, nothing.
Stop it.
You sent me to Lebanon for Malotru, knowing fully well I empathized with him.
And that he'd use that to lower my guard .
She put that into your head? You think I wanted him to escape? I guess so.
If you do, we can't work together.
I guess not.
Prisoner number 99.
You are free! You want some water? Thank you.
You understand Russian? Not much.
My ass, it's over! Recruit FSB cyber officer if successful, discussion is possible We found the virus's origin.
The server is in China, in a linguistic software company.
The Chinese attacked the Bulgakov institute? It's a ploy.
A fake trail to confuse us.
But now we know these guys are good .
But they messed up.
Part of the code is totally new to us.
Yet, it's useless.
It's a tiny program waiting to be activated to upload other programs.
Nothing to do with looking for flaws.
Where is this program? Right here.
That's the program? Yeah.
It's very concise, ergonomic and brilliant.
If it's useless, why is it there? It may be a mistake.
A mistake? They say geniuses make programs and morons implement them.
The guy forgot this piece of code.
I bet he was beaten up for it.
By whom? By the creators of this nasty program, that we shouldn't have.
Sven! What happened? I ran into a bookshelf.
Hi , Marina.
Hi there.
Will you join us? I can't.
I have a meeting.
See you around .
Talked with Misha.
A smart, sensitive guy.
Against Putin.
Sympathy for opponent Navalny.
Ran into Sven, Center 21 electrician.
His face was bruised, like he’d been in a fight.
Would you like a drink? What do you have? Only things that are bad for us.
Gin and tonic? What brings you here? I don't really understand what Liz Bernstein is up to.
Is there a problem? She's playing a strange game.
Harmful to our work.
What did she do this time? You're not playing that game with me.
I'm not paid to play games.
Fine.
Liz Bernstein is turning Raymond Sisteron against me.
It's devious, counter-productive, and disturbing.
I understand .
Is that a tactic? You want us to rat each other out? Could you? Any serious stuff? That is the question.
We're doing the "serious stuff', in hostile territory.
We can't afford to have someone making trouble between us.
Who will surfer the consequences? Us, or the agents in the field? If you're professional , no one in the field should surfer.
We can't work and watch our backs.
All she's doing is looking for loopholes.
If you think there are any, talk to the Managing Director.
Tell him the Bureau is doing a lousy job.
I just may, when Liz Bernstein is done.
Done with what? Creating flaws to blame on us? Honestly, Marie-Jeanne, Liz doesn't need to "create" flaws.
They're already there, Waiting to be revealed .
So far, they've been well-hidden.
You think we hide flaws? What do you really want? You want me to resign? Is that your goal? If it is, just say so.
And tell the MD as well .
I want you to resign.
I don't want to put you on trial in front of the MD.
I want you to realize how toxic you are for your department, and for the DGSE as a whole.
Really The day Malotru joined your department, something happened ! That's what I truly believe.
This guy seduced all of you.
You, Duflot, Sisteron Ellenstein, the Mule.
.
.
All of you! You were all working for him.
You all made him feel he could break all the rules.
You were his handler, his colleague.
You let him spread his poison everywhere.
You all enabled him to constantly elude us.
Why? Because you all adore him.
You adore him.
It was so obvious at the last meeting.
He wants to "make amends".
For real? He went to the Americans, now the Russians What more do you need to accept the simple truth? The guy is a traitor.
Full stop.
Yet you all have a crush on him! Maybe you can't help it, but I can.
Leave.
Leave before it spreads any further.
It's a virus.
You keep infecting each other.
Leave.
You're causing harm.
Are you aware of this? You're harming French intelligence.
Malotru is toxic, and you've become toxic.
If you still have any respect for your mission, think about what I said .
I'm sorry to be so harsh, but neither of us can afford to be in denial .
Think about it.
Draw the right conclusions.
You can still do something good .
Leave.
Leave!
