The Bureau

How long will you stay here?

Two or three weeks.

Is that you who decides or them?

Both.

It's better that we agree.

Hmm.

When you are free, are we going to live together?

What do you think?

It would be good.

Even if it's a little scary.

A little? - No?

How long we lived together in 5 years?

You mean less than 5 meters between us for more than 2 days?

Three and a half days, four days.

Without attack, without bombardment...

without attacks, without hostages...

How are we going to handle this, Guillaume?

We'll do the same. Like normal people.

You say "normal people" as if to say "ordinary people."

We will have to learn a lot of things, not necessarily glorious.

Learn to wake up every morning next to each other.

Endure our manias, our moods.

Take into account what hurts us or saddens us.

Remember our birthdays.

By the way, is it August 26th?

Yes, Paul's.

Guillaume's is November 14.

It's a good start.

Every night God does, every day of our lives,

don't forget to look at each other when he undresses,

to join him in bed.

Was he worried?

Within normal limits.

Couldn't you protect him?

It was suicide. - Suicide?

A Russian agent goes through the window and it's suicide?

Surveillance cameras, security guards, I checked everything.

At 7:00 PM, he received his passports.

His family had a new nationality.

Throwing himself out the window ensured their safety.

Did the Russians find out? - They didn't say anything.

A guy like him doesn't commit suicide

without leaving anything for his enemies.

Something destructive would have escaped analysis.

Something to remind us of him for a long time.

What method do he use?

Guillaume?

What would we do to harm our enemies?

If he planted a "mine" somewhere, we have to dig.

It will not explode immediately.

He doesn't want us to see it,

but he wants to fall on us so let's check the strategic files.

Here they are, sorted by priority.

He didn't plant it in the first place.

It would be too obvious.

Between the 6th and the 10th, I think.

Karlov will bring to light something old.

Discreetly.

In the background.

It will not be visible right now.

It can be an address, a link, a site, a name...

Something a brilliant analyst will think he found himself.

So let's find it.

Before it explodes.

In the end we decided to shut down the Russian mics in the Boston City Hall.

Okay. Got it.

But for now,

we are going to leave the ones in Grand Hyatt in New York.

With their agreement, of course.

Any reason?

Well, let's just say they are not bothering us.

Got that too, we might be interested.

Of course.

Ah. We submitted your new list of infected websites.

They're interested.

So here's what we got for you.

We've had to stop processing the material for the time being.

We be getting back to in the next few weeks?

I can't answer that.

Is there a problem?

Since Kennedy's death we've been re-accessing everything.

As a security measure.

Of course.

When you find out where that rotten smell is coming from,

give us a call, will you?

okay thank you. - Take care.

See you soon. - See you soon.

I already knew.

Have a nice day, Liz. - Have a good day, Marie-Jeanne.

Oh sorry. It's you.

Am I bothering you?

No, no...

I came home to try to sleep 2 or 3 hours.

So?

I didn't find anything. I spent the night there.

Can I get you some coffee?

I'll manage.

It's ready.

How did you find Guillaume?

Clear, operational.

A little tiring.

Guillaume, I mean.

Do you believe in this "Mine"?

He knows Kennedy better than we do.

Until we know what we're delivering, Ponte suspends the exchange.

What?

Even from the the Perche, he blocked the Kennedy operation research room.

Don't you believe him?

I don't know.

You presented yourself to Ponte's position?

News travels fast.

I was asked questions.

What do you think?

What I told them.

It's a good idea.

In a word, she knows the land and the house.

Resistant to pressure.

She has all the competent skills.

And in two words?

No, she is an excellent candidate.

In three, then?

You're starting to piss me off, Raymond.

It takes a lot of energy to hide her feelings.

Maybe too much.

Explain?

If I had to find a fault... - You have to.

Sometimes she is fighting two enemies.

The second is herself.

Wow!

What?

I had to ask 6 or 7 people to hear something a little harsh.

Thanks, that's all I wanted to hear.

For?

To support someone else.

That's a very good idea.

I think it's super.

"Super". Is that what you told them?

Aren't you supporting me?

Is that why you came?

Yes.

Where are you from?

Don't understand, madam.

Which country?

Uzbekistan.

Where's that?

Very far, East.

Ah, yes.

Mass grave

Hello, I'm Marina.

Raymond told me to come.

Hello, Jonas.

Do you want to sit?

Are we going to be here long?

I don't know.

Do you know Iraq?

I know Halabja.

There was a strong earthquake there in 2017.

Okay, yes.

Uh...

Raymond says you train secret agents?

I admit.

I...would like to know if there is a way to find an agent?

Yes, if he's weak.

He's not weak.

Anyone you know?

No.

Do you sense a spy?

No.

Okay.

So...woman or man?

That change anything?

Yes.

Woman.

Does he know where you work?

If she's a spy, yes. Otherwise, no.

Good.

I established a protocol to find out if someone is a secret agent.

But I need to know your exact relationship with her.

Camille!

Look at this.

2:41 AM.

I filmed all night.

Yes and?

Someone was here last night and that's all you can say?

Are you there to protect me or not?

Hey.

I couldn't sleep.

I went out to piss and ate a yogurt.

Can I ask you something?

You don't live alone here, there are two of us.

It's likely that if there's another person here, it's me.

What made you think it was someone else?

We live with our enemies.

We frequent them, we love them, even.

This is our job.

I did that for a good part of my life.

At first, it was exhilarating...
