01x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

Why am I here?

We can save your leg.

We're working on a serum.

Dyxenal.

Your abilities

will be unimaginably greater.

Then what?

You will join the Sentinels.

Our elite unit.

- And his wife?

- We'll handle it.

Your husband

did not survive his injuries.

Tell your talented agent to hurry up.

I want the laboratory plans

and guard rota, as agreed.

What do you want from this lab?

A German commando unit.

k*lling everybody!

Who are you?

WOLXHEIM PENITENTIARY FOR

GERMANY

Kommandant.

The operation was a success.

We found what we were looking for.

But we sustained significant

losses.

Our men had to fight

a new Sentinel

I know.

I felt his presence.

I will deal with him

when the time is right.

The French will see

what we're capable of soon enough.

Yes, sir.

Now, leave me.

Please close the door.

THE SENTINELS

-General.

-Jean-Baptiste. Sorry about your men.

How did that commando unit

find our research site?

They knew too much.

There must be a mole.

The National Police

will be looking for answers.

They won't find anything.

Your archives?

There's nothing untoward in them.

- We did what was needed.

- As I hoped.

Mazauric's death

puts you in a delicate situation.

Sir, we have

a good understanding of Dyxenal

and Mazauric's injection protocol.

We can carry on without him.

His death will slow us down

but we will honor our commitments.

The leader of the men

who attacked you has been identified.

A master spy, Franz Gruber.

We've intercepted

a coded German message

which may help us to locate him.

Keep your Sentinels on standby.

It's vital

that Gruber is captured alive.

Understood.

- Thank you, Jean-Baptiste.

- General.

You're healing extremely quickly.

Don't touch.

It could get infected.

Any pain?

No.

I don't know what got into me.

I don't remember much.

Just fragments.

I'm sorry if I hurt you.

The first injection

can have that effect.

The serum is powerful.

But your body will get used to it.

What's in the serum?

Ephedrine, cortico-steroids

and other compounds.

I'll take one more sample.

A Ménilmontant dog?

Not many doctors recognize tattoos.

I work with the prison system.

For your experiments?

Of course.

A convict's life

isn't worth much.

Even less than a soldier's.

You just help yourself.

All our patients are volunteers.

Like you.

How many have you k*lled?

You don't know

what you're talking about.

Your new uniform.

You can't even look me

in the eye.

I've finished with Private Ferraud.

Before I go,

I want to see my wife and son.

Ask Colonel Mirreau.

I know it's just an adjective,

but you use it too often.

I don't mean "cautious"

as a criticism.

You make the General sound

like he's scared.

- He is!

- That's not for us to say.

Arras Hospital, please.

I'd like to talk to Doctor Roux.

Alright.

- Mr. Girardin?

- Yes?

I'm sorry about what happened.

This w*r is awful. Just awful.

Please, sit.

There's something I'd like to ask.

My husband was treated

by a doctor in Arras.

I'd like to visit him.

- Arras is on the front line.

- Yes.

But as our paper

has safe passage permits

Could you sign one for me?

What do you expect

this doctor to tell you?

What happened.

You're sad, my dear,

so very sad.

What's happened to you

I need to know.

Perhaps you don't understand.

We only send journalists

to the front.

The most experienced ones, at that.

It would only take a few hours.

I beg you.

I'm sorry, but I can't.

The front

is no place for a proof-reader.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

- Did anyone see you?

- No, nobody.

Wait.

Not here.

Then let's leave.

I'm sick of sneaking around

like a thief.

I want to be with you, Gisèle.

Let's go away together,

far from all of this.

And then what?

You want to leave

with no money, nothing?

Money is easy to find.

I can't do that

and you know it.

Because you're scared.

No.

I can't do that to him.

Your parents are exploiting you.

Shutting you away.

That's not how love works.

With me, you'd be free.

You don't understand.

Gisèle! Can you open up?

- Everything alright?

- I'm fine! Just getting dressed.

See you tomorrow.

Gisèle, open up!

Who were you talking to?

Come in.

So, Ferraud? Are you ready?

You're joining the Sentinels.

I want to see my family.

I'm afraid that's impossible.

Why?

Officially, Dyxenal doesn't exist.

Neither do the Sentinels.

You're part of a top-secret program.

No civilian even knows it exists.

My wife won't tell anyone.

Your wife believes you're dead,

Gabriel.

What?

After the w*r

you can see her and your son again.

You have my word.

You can't do this.

This attack was proof

that the Germans will stop

at nothing.

Their spies will find

your loved ones, your family.

Your wife will be far safer

is if she doesn't know.

And if I refuse?

You will be considered a deserter.

And deserters are k*lled.

You really are a piece of filth.

And you will be a hero.

- It's impossible.

- Why?

The Germans

have almost reached Arras.

You can't just walk in

among the g*nf*re. It's impossible.

I'm not leaving this room until

you tell me where to find his body!

Show some dignity, Mrs. Ferraud.

It's what's expected of you

when our men are in combat.

Be strong, and brave.

It helps, you know.

It helps you to accept,

to mourn.

Incredible.

Ferraud's cells.

They're absorbing the Dyxenal.

Get your Mirror!

I'm truly sorry, sir.

I meant no harm.

You meant no harm?

Hear that?

He meant no harm.

Seeing Gisèle behind our backs

but meant no harm.

We did nothing wrong.

I don't know why I hired you.

You seem shifty.

I don't like

the look in your eye.

How long have you worked here?

Three months.

Here.

Look.

I don't show this very often.

It still hurts at night.

You know what it is?

The mark of an iron collar.

My brother Salomon and I

grew up in a circus,

caged up like dogs.

Then one day

I built a haven

for people like us.

We're very attached to this place.

I won't let vermin like you

destroy it.

I won't destroy it, sir.

You will go far away.

If you ever mention

this conversation to Gisèle,

you're a dead man.

Understand?

Or should I carve it into your face?

Yes.

Throw him out.

Come on.

- Captain Bonnefond, National Police.

- Captain.

I'm sorry about what happened.

Rest assured, I'll do all I can

to find out who informed the Germans.

I appreciate it.

Impressive.

State-of-the-art equipment.

Is this where you manufacture

the Dyxenal?

Yes.

It must be expensive.

- You can't put a price on victory.

- Of course.

I'll need the names

of everyone who works in the lab.

Étienne will arrange that for you.

I'll begin questioning today,

if it's not too much trouble.

Absolutely.

You can work here. I'll help you.

No need. I work alone.

But please, stay.

I'd like to start with you.

Colonel,

thank you for your time.

You have been very helpful.

- Well?

- He's digging around.

Mr. Chapelle? Your turn.

Please, sit down.

If you could please speak

into the receiver.

- Name?

- Étienne.

Closer, please.

You're leaving us, Herr Gruber?

Only temporarily.

You said the lab attack

would be "a discreet operation."

It was planned very discreetly.

As for the results,

I admit they were

- How do you say

- Visible?

I was going to say "expl*sive."

expl*sive

You burned an army base

in the middle of Paris

and k*lled ten people.

That wasn't in our agreement.

You provide the information.

We use it as we see fit.

You're putting our lives in danger.

After what you did,

the French will take action

Don't be so naive, Baron.

You knew a mission like this

had its risks.

And you're paid handsomely for it.

A French ambulance.

It has a full tank.

The French uniforms are inside.

And false papers

for crossing checkpoints.

You should take

the Porte de Vincennes.

The checks are less strict.

Check this.

Well?

Good.

SENTINELS CAMP

PICARDY

The main entrance is that way.

Go ahead!

Captain Landrieux. I supervise

the Sentinels' operations.

He puts us in the firing line!

So, you're Ferraud?

Armand Cazal. Pleasure.

Hi.

You expected something nicer?

I made the same face when I arrived.

The best soldiers in France,

treated like grunts.

You can always write

to the Ministry, Cazal.

I'll show you to your room.

You'll see, it's just as nice!

This is De Clermont,

but with his background

you can call him "Lordship."

It's an honor.

We're waiting for our next mission.

It's connected to the lab attack.

You'll be thrown in at the deep end.

Put your things here.

Soldier!

This way.

Ferraud, this is Sergeant Bazac.

We call him Djibouti.

He's your unit leader.

Sir.

I won't lie, Ferraud.

Mirreau wants you out there with us

as soon as possible.

- I think it's a stupid idea.

- Don't start, Djibouti.

It's not my call.

I saw his service record.

A few acts of bravery,

but he doesn't like taking orders.

Depends who gives them.

You're a rookie.

You don't know Dyx like we do.

That serum is dangerous.

So what I say goes.

Okay!

I'll show you the armory.

Léopold?

This is the new recruit, Ferraud.

That's your kit.

Made from ultra-light material.

A blend of iron,

aluminum and tungsten.

It's as tough

as two inches of steel.

Not bad, huh?

That's the good part of this job.

They don't scrimp on the kit.

Extended range.

And this

is my pride and joy.

Your combat helmet.

Latest generation.

New alloy,

I'll spare you the details

but it can withstand

most known calibers.

- What's this?

- That's for the Dyxenal.

Sir, Security Services

have decoded the German message.

They're going to exfiltrate the

leader of the unit

that attacked the lab.

The rendezvous

is right next to the Marne,

today at 1800 hours

at Saverny aerodrome.

They think it's this man,

Franz Gruber, a master spy

who was seen during the attack.

We want to uncover his source

so if you find him,

bring him back alive,

not in a sarcophagus.

Understood.

Ferraud, too.

It's too soon.

That's an order, Sergeant.

As you wish, sir.

I'll do my part.

You'd better.

One false move, I sh**t you.

Henri?

Look at this.

- What is it?

- Ferraud's cells.

It looks like they're mutating.

How long have you been here,

in this unit?

I was like you.

They found me in a hospital

six months ago, with a crushed hand.

When I took the Dyx,

it saved me.

You chose to be here?

So did they.

Djibouti's been here two years.

He was first.

- How long, De Clermont? One year?

- Yes.

The De Clermont family considers it

a great honor

to serve our country.

- My late father

- "Late father!"

I love the way he talks.

My late father

was also a career soldier.

He would have approved.

Do you have a wife?

I bet she's beautiful.

Don't, Armand.

We don't talk about our old lives.

It's a rule.

It's simpler that way.

Let's talk about the future.

The wonderful things we'll do.

Right, Djib?

- Marthe?

- I analyzed Ferraud's sample.

The reading is still 1.05,

48 hours after the injection.

And?

Ferraud's blood is fixing to

the Dyxenal instead of removing it.

So the serum is staying active

for longer.

- That's excellent news.

- It's an anomaly.

I think it's too soon

to send him on a mission.

His abilities are extraordinary

and you want him out of action?

What's got into you?

If the rate keeps rising,

anything could happen.

You feel compassion for our men.

I understand that.

But we need to end this w*r,

and quickly.

It's vital that we find

the source of Ferraud's abilities.

If we succeed,

we'll save thousands of lives

I know.

Then we proceed.

The airfield is through these woods.

Let's spread out, and catch Gruber

before he leaves for Berlin.

De Clermont, Armand, with me.

Ferraud, keep watch outside.

We want him alive.

Ferraud?

- Are you okay?

- Yes.

Let's go.

SAVERNY AERODROME

OCCUPIED TERRITORY

My briefcase. Hurry up!

Your zeppelin is ready,

Herr Gruber.

Pilot! Ready for takeoff?

Affirmative. The tanks

will be full in five minutes.

Hurry. We have to go!

Over there!

Fire!

There he is!

Watch out!

Watch out!

What are you waiting for? Fire!

Ferraud! Gruber's getting away!

Ferraud!

Stop!

Stop!

Ferraud! Calm down!

What's wrong with you?

Calm down!

What the f*ck got into you?

I don't know.

I knew it was too soon.

He's alive.

You're lucky.

Put the proofs on my desk.

Good night, everyone.

SAFE PASSAGE PERMI

PRESS PASS

Help me understand.

How did the enemy

get into your lab so easily

and what did they want?

It seems clear to me.

They wanted to destroy our program.

But we'll keep going,

even without Mazauric.

Witnesses said that the Germans

wanted specific documents.

The formula for Dyxenal, perhaps?

Really?

Tell me about the program

that came before the Sentinels.

Project Atlas, wasn't it?

That's classified information.

I can't discuss it.

It was shut down before the w*r.

Gabriel

Gabriel

Are you okay?

Ferraud?

You okay?

Ferraud?

I've been waiting

for someone like you.
