01x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

(tension music)

The orbital b*mb is just a satellite

carrying a nuclear charge.

- [Loridon] She's going to crash?
- Within two weeks.

- [Loridon] Luna got the numbers?
- [Francis] Yes.

Help me please.

Are you sure that Contignet
works for the KGB?

Enough to come see you.

[Anne] I want to make a deal.

[Anne] Get
Francis out of spying.

[Larry] A drug addict...

Farewell, Virgil.

[Lyudmila] I have a message
for KGB agent Dimitri Yemeline.

[Lyudmila] I have the numbers.

If my father is in the West,
I will surrender.

"Moonlight"
(Claude Debussy)

(flap of wings)

(sinister music mingles with the organ)

(the phone is ringing)

Make the conversation last
as long as possible

to trace his call.

Dimitri Emeline.

Where is my father?

At home in Moscow.

[Lyudmila] Quoi ?

He's not in the gulag anymore?

There has never been.

(alarm)

- [operator] TP 17.
- Prikryl, homeland security.

We published

false articles
in the Czechoslovakian press.

[Josef] You just made a call

at 224 949.

[Josef] Which switch is he from?

[Yemeline] Hope you read them
and show up.

The call is coming from switch 8.

Not to trick you, Lyudmila, no.

[Josef] TP 8. Number 8.

[Yemeline] I wanted to reconnect

et discuter.

Lyudmila,

tu es là ?

I asked you
to move it to the West.

(alarm)

TP 8.

I will do it.

[Yemeline] Tu as ma parole.

[Josef] Prikryl, homeland security.

[Josef] You have forwarded
the call to 224 949.

But I need proof.

He comes from TP

204.

It is west of Prague.

[Yemeline] You were lying when you said
you gave the figures to the French.

I need proof
that you still have them.

I won't give them to you.

- This is TP 204.
- [Josef] Prikryl, homeland security.

[Yemeline] Just tell me
how many numbers there are.

[operator] He's from TP 306.

[Josef] TP 306.

[Lyudmila]
I don't trust you...

Lyudmila,

how many digits are there?

Seize.

[Yemeline] Parfait.

I believe you, Lyudmila.

I'll call you back in 24 hours.

Take my father to the West.

[operator] Hello, TP 306.

How do you prove
that your father is in the West?

Send it to France.

The embassy will confirm his arrival to me.

[operator] It's in my sector,
a cabin

place Frantisek Palacky, à Jinonice.

[Josef] Jinonice.

[Yemeline] Do you have
the embassy number?

Yes.

Get me the police station in Jinonice.
Quickly !

I want to protect you both.

You and your father.

The party or the KGB will end
up sending him to the gulag to k*ll him.

[Lyudmila] And you won't be able to do anything.

I want my father to go West.

We won't k*ll him.

You have my word as an officer.

More toi, Lyudmila, toi ...

it's different.

[agent] Car 2 approaching.

What do you mean ?

I have a proposition for you.

[Yemeline] I know

you'll find it hard
to believe me, but...

you have abilities within you

that few people have.

[Yemeline] I can help you
develop them,

I can teach you a lot.

You can choose your life.

Want to become a pianist? Go ahead !

[Yemeline] But you have to choose your side.

[Yemeline] Lyudmila ?

(eerie music)

Lyudmila?

Lyudmila!

She's gone, comrade.

Well, find her!

Search!

(panting breath)

Mme Kucera, 2 rue Kolarova...

(regular alert beeps)

What am I listening to?

The orbital b*mb's distress signal
for electrical failure.

It was triggered
upon entering the thermosphere.

There, it loses altitude.

If no one takes control,

she should crash here,

40 km from Paris.

- When ?
- In 12 days.

All our agents in Czechoslovakia
are looking for her,

it hasn't worked yet.

What is the probability
of finding Luna?

Strong, she always turned
to us in case of difficulty.

- Towards Francis Mareuil.
- It's the same.

No, Charles.

Mareuil is not an agent.

I read the reports,
he lied twice.

With anyone else,
you would have stopped collaborating.

His father was your friend,

I know how much his betrayal
and his death affected you.

I hesitate to dismiss Francis
every time I see him...

Too late,
he is at the center of our Totem.

If we find Luna,

he has to go to Czechoslovakia
to get her to cooperate.

Twelve days is a short time.
We are back to the wall.

Sure.

If you explain the risks

and leave him the choice, he will leave?

- Yes.
- Then do it.

[Charles] That doesn't clear me up.

Yes, because it's an order.

(orbital b*mb distress signal)

(crackling)

- Rome was your honeymoon.
- Yes.

Paul has a presentation on capitals
and wants pictures.

I have Rome and London,
we need Washington and Moscow.

So I called you.

It's a bit political, as a subject.

It's good that children
understand the complexity of this world.

[Marie] You are fine there.

Do you have any photos of Moscow?

At my father's, I'll ask him.

- I don't want to bother him.
- He doesn't.

I thought you would, do
n't bother...

[Anne] Ouch!

- [Mary] How are you?
- [Anne] I cut myself.

[Anne] Fine, fine.

[Anne] What an idiot!

- [Mary] What is it?
- [Anne] I'm fine.

I know you. Your photos
are a pretext, aren't they?

[Marie] Do you want to talk
to me about something?

It's Frances.

He works with your father.

He hides things
to preserve us, but it's worse.

Waiting, worrying,
never knowing anything.

My mother left because of it.

Francis reproduces
what he reproached his father.

It's different,
Jean worked for the KGB.

I say.

Jean, a communist...
Nobody expected it.

For Paul's presentation,

Do you think we can avoid
involving your father?

I have spare keys
at home.

He won't know.

[Francis] It's not Luna...

It's a photo of his mother,
she looks like him.

[Francis] You make me play the spy...

I'm more sure I'm
the right person.

[Charles] I assure you it is.

These documents will be hidden
at the bottom of this briefcase

and you will only use them
for your return to the West.

Ivo will accompany you, he is Czech.

You take the flight
without knowing yourself,

you meet
him at the exit of the airport.

Ivo.

We pick up Luna, you leave
by road via West Germany

with these two passports.

Benoît Hubert, engineer at CNES,
traveling with his wife.

[Francis] And if they have any questions?

Where we live, where we met,
what we visited...

A legend takes months to build,
we don't have the time.

Talk about yourself,
say real things.

What changes
is your name and your wife.

- Is there a Benoît Hubert at CNES?
- Yes.

- Do we have the same face?
- They will check if in doubt.

[Francis]
Already, Luna has to contact us.

She will contact us, Francis.

She will contact us.

If she doesn't, it will be w*r.

[Francis] If the KGB has already found her...

- [Charles] I will know.
- [Francis] By Olga?

[Charles] Yes.

- You want something to drink ?
- No.

Do you recognize this photo?

It was my father who took it.

Hiroshima,

a week after the b*mb.

Your father and I had been sent
by the Bureau to observe.

Have you ever been dizzy?

Faced with something so...

so inconceivable
that trying to figure it out

challenges absolutely everything.

You,

others,

the world...

Le Big Bang ?

Not being able to conceive
neither time nor space

before the birth of the universe.

But I know
there's nothing like it.

[Charles] Yes, it's the same thing.

The loss of all our bearings.

My dad never talked to me about any of that.

Jean preferred action to words.

That's why
he collaborated with the KGB.

The Americans are responsible
for all this horror.

The only thing stopping them
from doing it again

is the certainty that the Russians
could do it.

Your father was helping the Soviets

so that they can keep
up with the Americans.

Did he tell you that?

No but...

that's the only explanation.

I'm scared, Francis.

I have the same vertigo as before.

The French must recover

orbital b*mb and destroy it.

Otherwise, Russia or the United States
will launch the offensive

and then there will be w*r.

It's all up to Luna and you.

[Charles] Be aware
of all the risks.

If you're caught, chances
are you'll never come back.

[Francis] I know.

(classical music in the distance)

[nun] Hello.

(snippets of conversation)

Virgil.

Hello, Madeline.

Are you back with us?

- No, don't worry.
- So much the better.

I wouldn't survive it.

Every first of the month,
I think of you.

Your baths in the pond are perpetuated,

naked as worms.

The Mother Superior no longer sends
young girls.

(Virgil laughs)

I suffered a lot here,
but I have good memories.

Is it because of him
that you never come to see us?

(Virgil sighs)

Do you know where he is?

With his patients, in the park.

You know his methods.

I can ?

Please.

(birdsong)

(intriguing music)

Hello sir.

I'm sorry,
it's not visiting day.

(threatening music)

She found
shelter and food.

Good game.

She bought it in a store
on the square.

The salesman remembers her.

If she has money,
someone is helping her.

I want a list of everyone
who attends this church.

Your father is not likely to come in?

Dad ?
Going home while it's still daylight?

The Red place.

The Bolshoi.

Paul will be spoiled for choice.

The evenings at the embassies.

Did you have Russian friends?

Not really.

The same people meet
at these parties, don't they?

Yes, but even there,

West and East did not mix.

Dad used to say that if a Russian
spoke French or English,

it was suspicious.

It was his greatest fear,

that a Soviet passes through us
to reach it.

It happened, right?

(eerie music)

I am not sure...

It was July 14.

He was a film student

he had come to do the service
to earn money.

He had stayed to watch
the fireworks,

I was sitting alone.

He had stolen a bottle of champagne,
he offered me a drink.

It was silly,
I didn't need to steal it.

Have you seen each other again?

It was my first kiss.

Alexei Berezin.

Alexei...

You told me about it, right?

Certainly not.
My father found out and it was a scandal.

He sent me to France.

That was 10 years ago
and I still think about it.

I shouldn't.

(the baby moans)

No matter what my father says,
I know Alexei was sincere.

(the baby cries)

You don't mind tidying up

while I change it?

Not at all.

[Mary] Hush...

[Mary] Oh, there you go.

Chut...

[Mary] There you go. Hush...

(panting breath)

[CIA agent] Mrs. Marais?

Follow me please.

(camera click)

She slept with him?

I think so.

[Larry] You can't imagine how
many Romeos the KGB sends

daughters of diplomats
and secretaries.

What is a Romeo?

Agents trained to seduce.

The real target was Contignet.

That is to say ?

[Larry] The police find the girl
with the Romeo

in a forbidden place.

Contignet must avoid scandal.

She returned urgently to France.

(Larry acquiesce)

[in English] Of course.

Alexei Berezin.

Are you sure?

The spelling may differ,
but I heard it somewhere.

At the Contignets?

No I do not think so.

Your husband's father?

Uh...

[Larry] If it comes to you, call me.

(mysterious music)

(Anne breathes nervously)

(distant jazz music)

(snippets of conversation)

(jazz music)

[server] Good evening, gentlemen.

I'm not alone.

Say what you want
and go away, please.

[Marc] What did you tell him?

It's not important.

Before tonight,
you didn't know him.

Marc.

I gave you royal peace
for 3 years.

If I came back,
it's because it's vital.

Go on.

- Please.
- [server] Yes.

The same thing.

- [Virgile] I have to wean myself.
- See your doctor.

- With him, I won't succeed.
- We already tried.

There it will work.

Why ?

Because I dumped everything.

(disdainful sigh)

Good luck, Virgil.

[Virgil] Please.

The CIA fired me.

Everything breaks the mouth, it's over.

I need your help, please.
Please...

I need you, please.

[server] Gentlemen.

(dramatic music)

[Marc] I can't go through that again.

I am sorry.

[Francis] Anne?

[Francis] Come with me.

- What ?
- I have to show you something.

[Francis] We only have four minutes.

(soft music)

- Are you showing me stars?
- I have an important question.

[Francis] Do you see what's moving?

- [Anne] Is it a sh**ting star?
- No.

It's a Russian nuclear b*mb.

[Francis] They lost control of it.

If we do nothing,
she will start a w*r.

To control it, you need a code
and the method to use it.

The code is with the daughter
of a Russian scientist.

Charles sends me to retrieve them.

- Or ?
- In Czechoslovakia.

- But when ?
- When we find out where she is.

- You're not a spy.
- No matter.

I want you to understand
my decision.

Ask me all the questions
you want. All.

But understand that I must complete
this mission.

Francis,

I love you.

Because you are upright,

you seek to do well,

there is no wickedness in you.

But here, you want to make me bear
the responsibility for your choices.

No, I'll explain the situation to you.

No, you want to excuse yourself.

Do not go.

[Anne] Think of your son, think of us.

[Francis] I have no choice.

I have to go, my love.

Charles is manipulating you.

He lies to the SDECE, to everyone.

He works with the KGB.

What are you talking about ?

Martine did not have
appendicitis.

She had an ab*rtion
and the CIA saved her life.

(eerie music)

The CIA?

In exchange, they asked me for help
in investigating Charles.

These photos don't prove anything.

The CIA found them essential.

Charles and the KGB, it makes no sense.

Neither did your father who worked for the KGB
.

It's the truth, though, isn't it?

They would have betrayed together?

Why k*ll my father and not him?

I do not know.

Why did Charles recruit me?

I do not know.

Why didn't you tell me?

They threatened me,
they threatened to reveal the ab*rtion.

They promised to protect you.

- [Anne] What are you going to do?
- I do not know.

(sigh)

[Mr. Kucera] My wife
wanted to teach music,

but she couldn't
finish the conservatory.

[Mr. Kucera]
And then the girls were born...

[M. Kucera] Mirka!

Your friend came
to bring you your coat.

[Lyudmila] Your address
was in the pocket.

Hello.

He was in church.

Thank you.

That's very kind of you.

I also wanted to talk to you.

I still need help...
with the organ.

Please leave.

I can't help you anymore.

Get out of my house.

Mirka, what's going on?

This woman is wanted.

[Mirka] If she stays here,
we will have problems.

You know her ?

I helped her at church.
It should have ended there.

Who are you ?

My name is Lyudmila Golubeva.

I come from the Soviet Union.

- And the KGB is looking for me.
- Why ?

I have to call France.
Help me.

(intriguing music)

We don't want boredom.

My wife is right, leave.

I do not want to leave !

- [Mirka] Where are you going?
- [Mr. Kucera] To the police.

I will tell them the truth.

Your wife gave me some money.

She hid me from the police.
You will end up in jail.

You wouldn't do that...

I do not have a choice.

I have to make a call in France.
Only one.

We don't have the phone.

And at work?

Michael, please.

Yes.

He has a phone at work.

I call France and I disappear.
I promise you.

What if they arrest you?

If I make this call,
France will hide and protect me.

And you too.

(slow music)

[Anne] Yes, thank you.

[Anne] Yes. I would like
to be replaced today.

Yes,

even if it means having to take care on weekends.

Yes.

(we touch)

[Virgil] Francis...

[Virgile] Mareuil!

I remember you.

(in a drunken voice)
Francis...

Oh, hello, Anne.

Francis is there, please?

[Anne] Do we know each other?

I am Virgil.

He told you about me?

Are you from the CIA?

[Virgil] No, not anymore.

Can you tell Francis
I'm here?

Is absent.

(melancholy music)

You feel well ?

Yes...

Would you like some coffee?

Am I sending a message?

Yes,

tell him I need help.

Not for work, huh.

Tell him
it's not for work.

But say,

maybe you could help me,
you are...

nurse.

Oh, I...

I see how you look at me.

You hate me.

I don't hate you

I hate the world you come from.

Me too,

but it's my world.

I may have a coffee background.

Non.

You are right.

You tell him, huh...

[Anne] Virgil, wait.

My husband can reach you?

Home.

623-20-0.

(low music)

Mr Mareuil?

It will take a little longer.

Would you like a coffee?

Mr Mareuil?
Wait please.

[receptionist] Mr. Mareuil!

He was released...

What are you doing ?

You've been giving information to the KGB
for 10 years.

You're a mole like my father.

[Loridon] Leave us.

- [Charles] Who said that?
- The CIA knows everything.

They asked Anne to investigate.

Marie talked about Alexei Berezin,
about your panic.

The KGB blackmailed you.

[Charles] Sit down.

Who manipulated your wife?

Un certain John Summer,

but it looks like Larry Goldstein.

He knew where to look
and where to direct her,

and you haven't seen anything.

Francis, you are wrong.

Mr. Mareuil, have you spoken
directly to the CIA?

- No.
- [Loridon] Your wife told you that?

Yes, tonight.

Charles, take him to the archives.

My colonel...

Show him everything he needs.
Sorry for your wife,

we should have been more vigilant.

(tension music)

One.

[receptionist] Sorry,
he's not in his office.

(the music stops)

Everything the SDECE learns
is noted, analyzed and logged here.

You make rockets,
we make that.

Industrial, scientific,
political, military secrets...

and personal, of course.

[Charles] So...

Here is.

What I'm going to show you

you don't have the right to tell anyone about it,

OK ?

[Charles] So...

Here we are in Moscow,

with my wife.

It's Mary, my daughter,

the day she met
Alexei Berezin.

The KGB contacted
me to blackmail me.

It's called a compromise.

I described the situation to the SDECE,
which decided to continue the operation.

Marie was sent to Paris

and I complied
with the requests of the Russian officer

responsible for manipulating me.

So I delivered...

plans for our embassy in Moscow.

Plans of electrical
and telephone systems, emergency exits,

monitoring systems, etc.

All the information given to the KGB
was provided to me by the SDECE.

At first they were true

and then
less and less.

Why ?

To put
my case officer, Olga, at ease.

(enigmatic music)

Of course,
it got him a promotion.

and then I told him the truth,

most of the information
was wrong.

If the KGB found out
they had been tricked,

it was guaranteed death.

So I recruited him.

Olga has become our best source
of information for the East.

He was the one who warned us
about the Cuban missiles in 1962,

which allowed us to alert the CIA.

Have you ever been a mole?

Non.

(heavy music)

And my father ?

Your father's betrayal
has nothing to do with me or Olga.

I have his file.

[Charles] We know very little.

Here, look.

[Charles] We only know some
of the documents provided to the KGB.

[Charles] They recruited him in 1949.

(Charles takes a deep breath)

They tortured him.

Yes.

The CIA thinks you're a mole?

The CIA sees Soviet moles
everywhere.

I know Larry Goldstein well.

By associating me with your father,
he wanted to sow doubt in you

to recruit you.

What can I do ?

Trust me.

[Charles] Go to Czechoslovakia.

We have 11 days left
before the b*mb goes down.

(the music intensifies)

(scary music)

(Someone's knocking at the door)

[Mark] Virgil.

(knocks again)

Swear to me it's over.

I'm not helping you if I'm sure I'll fail.

(melancholy music)

I want it to stop.

If you came,
it's because you've already made up your mind.

[Marc] No alcohol.

[Marc] I ration your pills.

At the first gap, I disappear.

- [Marc] Where are they?
- Under the cushion.

What made you change your mind?

Your stupid face.

(Virgil laughs)

(panting breaths)

(mysterious music)

[Mr. Kucera] Watch out, hide!

[Mr. Kucera]
It's good. He left.

[Mr. Kucera]
Come on, here we go.

Chut.

(metal shock)

[Mr. Kucera] I call a friend
who lives in Paris.

If your contact
is not in the directory,

I won't be able to do anything.

Understood ?

Write me his name.

Hello,

Piotr ?

It's you ?

This is Michal Kucera.
Am I bothering you ?

Less than in Paris, I imagine,
but that's fine.

[Mr. Kucera] Can I ask you
a favor?

I have an appointment
with a French client,

but I lost his number.

Do you have a directory?

[Mr. Kucera] Yes, he lives in Paris.

His name is...

Francis...

[M. Kucera] M-A-R

E-U-I-L.

Hello ?

I note. 710...

10.

Perfect. Thank you, Piotr.

My regards to Hélène.

Goodbye.

Don't give my name.

[Mr. Kucera] Tell them to come here:

Knoflikarna Company,

export office.

(the phone is ringing)

Hello ?

[Anne] Allô ?

Hello ?

[Lyudmila] Bonsoir.

I would like to speak to Francis Mareuil.

Who is it from ?

(Lyudmila halete)

Lyudmila.

(soft music)

Hello ?

Francis, it's me.

Are you doing well ?

Yes.

You have to come get me.

Do you have the numbers?

Yes.

Where are you ?

In Prague.
The company...

Knoflikarna.

Knoflikarna,
at the export office.

It has to be you,
no one else.

I'm coming.

(barking)

We must leave.

[guard] Don't move!

What are you doing here in the dark?

I am Michal Kucera.
It's my office.

(barking)

[guard] Sit down!

Stand to the side.

You can't do that here.

Yes Yes...

I am sorry...

We're leaving right away.

Excuse us.

[Anne] Do you have to leave?

In Czechoslovakia?

If I hadn't hidden anything from you,
would you still leave?

It's not personal, my love.

Trust me, it's not personal.

(dramatic music)

(sobs)

(tension music)

(bell)

Have you seen this woman?

I have a book that belongs
to Alexei Berezin.

- What is it ?
- Someone came in.

Run, your lives depend on it.

[Francis] We have to leave for the airport

and find Luna.

Passport.

[agent] Please follow us.

(epic music)
