The Bureau

Be quiet!

Be quiet!

Motherfucker...

Paul.

Paul.

Paul.

We need to change the dressing.

Are you in pain?

Are we sedating him again?

Yes, it's better.

You're incredible. He wasn't supposed to call you Malotru,

you should be called Ebola.

5 months before

Hello.

Would you like some coffee?

One more time? Yes.

The Technical Department managed to hack the Ukrainian border point from Izvaryne.

This is the list of vehicles that crossed the border.

I checked them all.

I found a Russian military ambulance.

Confirmed by DRM.

Which day? What time?

On September 3rd.

The day that Malotru disappeared, at 20:48.

Will you explain or leave me in the haze?

Take a seat.

We are the five people who know what I am about to tell you,

including Michel Ponte and the General Manager.

And so it will remain.

There is every chance that Malotru is alive.

A Russian ambulance passed through Izvaryne

within hours of the so-called stand-off

between the separatists and Ukrainian escorts.

We have good reason to believe

the Russians recovered Malotru before CIA vanished.

Why would they have done that?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

A French agent the CIA wants to eliminate is good to keep.

And the body they gave us?

Could be anyone.

Only the dental evidence could confirm. And it didn't.

Did the Russians really intervene?

I scattered information to do that.

I even bet on this rescue.

Did you wonder I was capable of such a thing?

Do we know where he is?

No, we don't know.

We are not sure, nor do we know what is on his mind.

But we could have a new spy in Russia.

Provided we contact him and propose a mission to him.

And he will accept.

Hey!

Do you want to play volleyball?

No. Thanks.

Good.

These are traumatization.

Psychically, physically.

Explosion victims. Burned.

The professional overseers.

You should be a little of each.

How do you feel?

Where am I?

50 km from Moscow.

Come on, I'll explain something to you.

Come on.

What do you remember?

I was drugged.

And?

I was supposed to die.

That's right.

You know why?

You were sentenced to death by your own friends,

the French and the Americans.

I know.

And I also say that we are savages.

Now you should be dead.

And you really are, technically speaking.

They are convinced that you were allowed to burn in that house.

How come?

I intercepted a message and saved you at the nick of time.

A message from your friends at the DGSE to your friends at the CIA

stating:

Remove him...

We will not object.

How long have you worked for them?

How many years have you spent?

Why? Why are you talking Russian?

I don't understand anything.

I speak Russian

because now it's your language.

And Russia

is your new homeland.

Today

If Peacemaker had been detained then his girlfriend, Svetlana, would've been detained.

And the phone would have been shut down.

His phone looks functional.

Peacemaker was not detained.

And the most pessimistic hypothesis?

When the phone is off for more than 72 hours,

he automatically sends information that allow us to locate it.

The pessimistic hypothesis is to convey nothing.

What would that mean?

That the phone is broken.

Pacemaker was brought under control

and he did not return.

This control was a buffer.

It looks like an extraction.

It prevents him from coming out to defend us.

That's it!

That's the optimistic hypothesis.

I'm an optimist of my kind.

Before, you were the king of catastrophic scenarios.

Before? Before JJA came.

Who is with him?

I have no idea.

Has lunch with someone different every day.

Seriously?

Every time he is with someone new.

Sometimes has lunch with someone then has a coffee with someone else.

Honestly, it's weird.

This guy has a lot of friends.

Yes.

Egypt, South Sinai

Yellow scorpion.

And you are barefoot too.

It was headed straight for you.

This fucker can kill you.

Well then, thank you.

That's my job.

I deal with all kinds of crap while the Westerners enjoy the view.

Your Sheikh is bull-shitting you.

He's not coming. - Why not?

He wants you to know that he is not happy about me being here.

These fucking Bedouins hate the Egyptians.

I have a satellite phone in the car if you want to use it.

Couldn't you have told me before?

Who are you trying to call?

Someone who knows the Sheikh.

You're wasting your time with the Sheikh.

If he wants to see you, he knows where to find you.

What's your plan then? To get out of here.

Pft, I didn't put up with you all day for nothing.

He will show up before we've gone 200 meters.

You will see.

And if not, I'll let you call him.

Not even 100 meters.

Salam Aleikum.

My father apologizes for the delay. But thank to Allah, we've arrived on time.

Welcome. - Thank you.

Vigilant.

Inseparable.

News?

The World, The Echos...

What they say?

"Paul Lefebvre was a spy in Syria before the war".

"He would have started working for the CIA after he returned".

"Was he recruited there or on French soil?"

"It's a question..." Okay.

I've read it.

Did you know this Paul Lefebvre?

I know almost everyone.

You just know.

What is the percentage of truth in this news?

Zero.

Stop it.

Do you have any problems at work?

Nobody knows what you're doing.

Outside the Minister.

He doesn't ask me anything.

But he says you're in crisis.

Do I seem to be in crisis?

No.

But you are, honey.

Type #DGSE on Twitter. He's convincing.

Russian trolls?

We don't need Russian trolls anymore to look like suckers.

What do you want?

The manager wants to see you.

Ah, yes? Yes.

Will this take long?

Depends on how convincing you are.

Do you know Jean Ferriere?

No, who is he?

You're wrong. You know who he is.

The journalist from Figaro. Aha!

Did you meet him?

It does this every time someone tries to access my computer.

Good.

Probably the Technical Directorate is looking. Sure.

Ah, that means something else.

There was a time when we ate naked in bed.

And then you slept with 25 girls.

Only one.

And she's was over 30 years.

At least 3.

I can't be with someone from DSec.

You can't fool someone from DSec. It's a hue.
