This is a research location. You get to buy a little of Russian history.

There is lot of potential.

You can quantify the amount of work.

The space is large, but you can add partitions.

And with the ceiling height,

you can construct...

Paul.

You snubbed me.

That for me?

Why do you think it's for you?

Reaction.

Paul.

Pavel.

Let's go with, Pavel.

You're the one they sent?

Yes.

I am the Director of the Bureau of Legends.

And the former Director?

In a different circumstance.

No more lenient.

Have you been using this place for a long time?

It's the first time.

We created this mobile facility 10 years ago.

It has functioned normally during this time.

It's like a "Grands Crus".

We were waiting for the right opportunity to use it.

And here we are.

Yes.

We call him Kennedy.

You know why?

You talking about Mikhail??

You call him Mikhail?

He is a friend.

Really?

My recommendation to recruit him

is all the more reliable, I imagine.

Do you want to recruit him?

We will teach him that Sylvain Ellenstein

is not really Sylvain Ellenstein.

It will be a hard blow for him.

How do you think he will react?

Either he panics...

or he gets everyone arrested.

Me and those around me.

We'll shelter you.

Samara Semionova as well. And her children.

Okay.

Who else?

That's all.

And if he panics, what could happen?

If he panics, he can ask me to help him.

That's what I think.

Do you want me to recruit him?

Yes.

You will be his contact.

You are going to have to stay here a little.

How long?

If he cooperates,

how long would it take before we exfiltrate him?

No more than 4 months.

It is you who decides.

And once he's in France?

You will be free to decide what you want to do.

And you?

I believe you are right.

I am more certain that I am an asset to the company.

Even likely to become a problem.

I hear voices,

telling me to terminate this operation.

You have my career end in your hands.

You want it to end beautifully.

No, I would just...

not like to end up like the real JJA. Namely, completely crazy.

Did you come for me to shake hands?

To make sure everything is fine.

And if all goes well, we could talk.

What is your bond with Kennedy?

He's not a friend.

Is it personal?

Would that be a problem?

Using company resources for a personal matter,

is that something that bothers you?

If you came to a trial, it's too late.

There's already been a sentence and an execution.

And the resurrection?

FSB Headquarters

Yes?

Mikhail, 4th Directorate is asking us for access to the Petrossian file.

What level?

A level that requires your authorization.

Deny!

Could you write that to me? I sent you an e-mail.

Okay.

Denied.

Hello?

Alexis, the 2nd Directorate requests access to the file

of your stay in Phnom Penh?

Who? - Karlov.

Deny.

Denied.

Call Barsokov, please!

I would like to speak with Barsoukov.

Line 2.

Hello Mr.Director.

How are you?

Very good.

Very Good.

Uh...I'm calling you because I have a small problem.

I don't have access to the Petrossian file.

It's annoying because I need to know something very important.

You see, when a foreigner works with us,

I learned to be itchy.

What do I want to know? Well, just one thing:

through which channel did we learn

that Petrossian was going to be eliminated by the Americans in Ukraine?

Yes, I know, this is a very protected.

Black September.

Sure!

Thank you, Boris Anatolievich. I will do the verifications.

Petrossian works for Yakovlev?

No, no. He doesn't have much access,

but it will allow me to scratch a little less.

Thank you!

He told me that the 2nd Directorate called the channel "Black September"

and we had to find out.

Did he tell us how?

We're an intelligence service, aren't we?

Sleep with someone.

Nadia El-Mansour

When did you arrive? 2 days ago.

I was offered to join a think tank on the future of Syria.

I said, "Yes".

I didn't mean to call you right away.

Are you going to stay? Yes.

And your friend?

I left him.

Are you sad?

It's never very pleasant,

but I couldn't do otherwise.

And you?

I don't see Samara anymore.

Why?

She never had any illusions on me.

She took me for what I am.

What are you?

I would like to tell you, but I have no right.

But it's more complicated than in Damascus.

I tried to move on.

I don't mind a simple life, but only if you are dead.

If you're alive, I don't want it.

Stay. Stay.

I never want to...never see you again.

Amman, Jordan

Cashews...

the best of Amman.

Yes, thanks.

Bismillah.

Are you André Tassonne?

Maybe.

What are you waiting for? Get in the fucking car!

They said you knew how he was captured.

Yes, I know. I was with him.

You wanna buy the story?

What are you paying with?

Captagon pills?

Do you want some?

No, thanks.

What else can you offer me?

Do you want to interview a Houthi warlord?

I don't need you for that!

You do for this one!

I am talking about Yusuf Ahmed.

Can you reach him?

He is an old friend.

What do you wanna know?

Everything you know about this Paul Lefebvre.

A fake cameraman.

A real killer.

For a minute I thought he was a former french teacher

turned reporter for the region.

Wrong!

He was a DGSE agent.

For sure.

Why a "real killer"?

Because his mission was to kill a french ISIS officer.

Did he succeed?

It's him.

Hello?

André on the phone.

Yes.

I met a German journalist,

André Schnabel,

who knows a lot of people in the region

and who heard of me.

Yes?

He told me about a french jihadist
