SECRET ARMADA
Come on, get back home!
Come on, quick!
-All right, all right.
YES
Where did the native go?
That's what I said.
We must not trust them.
-Hands up.
-Ready.
Well done to you scoundrels!
Come on!
-Are you the FLN?
-Yeah.
-And the GPRA.
-Who do you represent?
With what right do you treat him like this,
a colonel in the French army?
A colonel sent by De Gaulle
to put an end to these events.
We're in France here.
We're here to discuss
and we're authorized to negotiate
with the French occupier.
-Ocupatious?
-Leave it there, Jacquard.
No one will leave this house
until all this is resolved,
even if it takes a week.
We don't pay for 130 years of life
in common like this.
I'd like to know why the FLN
is not satisfied
with self-determination.
If you don't want that, what do you want?
For starters,
we want the right to vote
for those they call natives,
the Algerians,
on an equal footing with the French.
I'll take it.
Colonel.
Forgive me,
but that doesn't seem very wise to me.
Listen, Jacquard, we're not gonna...
to spend the day here. What else?
We want liberation
of political prisoners.
I'll take it.
We want recognition
of Algerian nationality.
I'll take it.
-Independence.
-Accept.
-Colonel!
-We want independence,
the departure from France,
...to recover all the assets.
The land, the shops, the factories...
and the houses.
I'll take it.
Anyway, I guess that's it.
Do you have something to sign?
Are you coming with me, Jacquard?
Come on, pretty boy.
Come on, baby. How about a walk?
Good morning, ma'am. How much is it?
Depends, pretty boy.
What do you want?
For everything, but if it's done right...
and very vulgar.
Thank you, ma'am.
Colonel, the general really wants...
to deliver
French departments?
A little air is good for you.
We were suffocating in that sh*thole.
Sidi Colonel.
How are you, Sidi Jacky?
Do you have it in yellow?
Especially not brown. 43.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's for Marthe.
Colonel, I'd like to understand.
130 years ago
that France asks the settlers
to develop Algeria
and we're gonna let them go like this?
You have developed without
to ask our opinion.
-His native friend is right.
-Moktar, Sidi Colonel. Moktar.
Are you sure these
are the orders of the general
because it wasn't like that.
that he declared in public.
-It hasn't been two days...
-Let's not talk about it all day.
Here you go, 45 francs.
45 francs. In France,
for 45 francs I buy moccasins.
Algeria is France.
You know, always...
She's pretty.
It's for my wife.
It's a little cold now.
Marthe?
Marthe? What are you saying?
My wife's name is Irene.
You don't listen to me, Jacquard.
I will speak again.
But, Colonel, France has predicted
at least one indemnity?
No, because if we need
to count on insurance...
That's 270 francs.
-270 francs.
-Keep the change.
Colonel, we can review the NFL,
to re-discuss.
I'm taking a turtle.
She's cute.
And this one too.
I'll get this one and this one for you.
And one for Moquard.
Your native is nice, Jaktar.
Three hundred francs, sir.
Divided by three.
ELEVEN O'CLOCK, PASSAGE OF ABBESSES
"FOR EVERYTHING, BUT IF WELL DONE AND WELL VULGAR"
Four o'clock, Garden of Luxembourg.
Hello, Merlaux.
Hello.
Sir.
You're in shape.
We were told he was dead.
It was a lie.
The service betrayed me. France betrayed me.
Now, I want to fight for a just cause.
What do you want from us?
What do you want from us?
I want to get into the KGB.
Bye, sir.
Is that all?
No, nothing at all
No, I don't regret anything.
Not good they've done to me.
Not the bad
It's all the same to me!
Enough noise!
Go sing somewhere else.
It's none of my business,
we're in France here!
What's that? What's that? Not for long.
I don't give a sh*t about the past.
With my memories...
I lit the fire
My sorrows, my pleasures...
I don't need them anymore.
## [Continues]
With your fears
Forever drunk
New start
France betrayed you.
De Gaulle betrayed you.
He secretly negotiates with the LNF.
De Gaulle not only negotiates with the LNF..,
general,
but you agree with all the requests.
All of them.
General,
the French army won the game,
has indisputably imposed itself
and final
but de Gaulle will give the crown
to the opponent.
Not just the pantry, general,
but the terrain,
the T-shirts and the shorts.
De Gaulle sells Algeria
to have peace in the metropolis.
And who's the target of the joke,
General?
I'm not military, generals,
but if I was, I'd be tough.
I wouldn't accept that.
It's a matter of honour
and damages.
I'd take a kawa.
How do you say "kawa" in Arabic?
Kawa.
They owe us everything. Let's leave it all.
A cup of coffee, buddy!
The weather is pleasant in this country,
but it's still very noisy.
Looks like some of the military has decided
to maintain French Algeria, Colonel.
They don't have to do that area.
PARIS, 21 APRIL 1961
22h05
I make twice as much,
gratification, indemnification of
transportation, I'm retired.
Office call. It is urgent.
Just think of yourself.
We have to go. Looks like there's trouble.
Go ahead.
Sure, of course.
Go ahead.
Who would you like?
I'll pass it on to him.
Calot.
Yes?
Marie-Jo, phone for you.
It is urgent.
Thank you, Mrs. Bernardin.
I'm going.
What do you think happened?
Undoubtedly the continuity
of the mistakes made in Berlin.
Silence that siren.
I declare that we will establish
the "state of emergency" code.
Tonight at 10:05,
there was a coup in Algiers.
With the help of four generals,
army soldiers
French rebelled
and took control of the city.
They've taken the government palace,
the airport,
the city hall and the radio.
You may have planned
a coup here in Paris,
to bring down the general.
It's not just your region that is
the center of attention.
No one's threatening to overthrow the general
in my region because she's stable.
Not in my country anymore.
You've got a scam.
every three days.
Calot? Moulinier?
Come on, Schmidt.
Okay. Okay, okay, okay.
By virtue of Article 43b(4)(b) of the EC Treaty, the Commission is empowered to adopt measures in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 43b(4)(b) of the EEA Agreement,
of the Rules of Procedure
which defines the procedure
of "state of emergency."
in the absence of Colonel Mercaillon,
great sturdy,
on a classified mission
defense and ultra-secret
and under the orders of General Dubernet,
great sturdy,
of Colonel Favier, great tough guy,
and the police commander Papon,
great sturdy,
Moïse, deputy director,
is hereby appointed interim director of the service.
Thank you, Schmidt.
Now that the regulatory scope
was announced,
let's move on to measurements
from the state of emergency.
First,
I'll get my office back.
Second, read it, Schmidt.
Application of Article 43c.
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
URGENT
Urgent stamps returned,
urgent stamps in service.
Miss Marie-Jo?
Stamp.
Of course, Mr. Schmid, but...
You have to stamp it
with an urgent stamp
or non-urgent?
Okay. Okay, okay, okay.
The regulation does not determine.
A procedural flaw.
As acting director of service,
I decide that 43C will be stamped...
Twice,
with an "urgent" stamp
and then with a "not urgent."
A real boss.
VALIDATE
VALIDATE
URGENT
What the procedure provides for
of a state of emergency after the
stamp procedure, Schmidt?
Schmid, with a "d."
-So?
-No c*ck.
What's it like?
I don't get it either.
Maybe it's a second addiction
of procedure.
-Mr Moïse?
-Unbelievable.
No c*ck.
Excuse me, boy.
Are you?
Could you tell me the time?
Sure, of course.
It's 11:45.
Thank you, boy.
My compliments.
I'll see you later.
Mr. Moïse?
No, you don't.
I don't want to bother you in
full state of emergency,
but I think I understand the last of them.
files I typed,
I might be wrong, but...
The atomic b*mb Gerboise Verte
was stored in Algiers
in view of the next nuclear test.
-So what?
-I thought...
And if that b*mb falls into your hands...
of the scammers?
Thank you, Marie-Jo.
What are they doing now?
Moktar, it's Moïse.
Tell me, Moktar, I...
Hello, Mr. Moise.
Hello.
How will it go?
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Tell me, no
I can talk to Jacquard.
How's the family? How's the family doing?
It's going well, thank you.
Family is important.
It certainly is.
Moktar, transmit this message
to Jacquard.
You have to take the Gerboise and take it...
to Reggane. It is extremely urgent.
You have to take the Gerboise
and take it to Reggane.
No,
he can't take it anywhere else.
In a way to deliver right away
the message for him.
I salute you all.
Are you all right?
Yeah, everybody's fine.
Yeah, sure. Yeah, sure.
Yes. Inch'Allah. Yes.
Mr. Moïse called me.
It is very urgent.
He said to me, "You have to take the
Gerboise and take it to Reggane."
Get out of the way a little bit, Moquard.
I don't see anything.
"You have to take the Gerboise
and take it to Reggane."
I don't understand anything, Moktar.
Maybe I'm wrong, Sidi Jacky,
but the atomic b*mb Gerboise Verte,
is stored in Algiers
for the next nuclear test.
Like there's a coup,
if it falls into the hands of the scammers,
maybe that's why she should
to be taken to Reggane.
What's with the coup?
Colonel, we're going for a walk in Reggane.
How far is it?
About a thousand miles of desert.
Depends on the car.
Jaktar, Moquard, let's go.
-Do you have a fair?
-Calm down, Colonel, let's go tomorrow.
It's late.
I have to work it out
something before I leave.
You scared me. With all this
mess, we're on the edge.
I have a mission for you, Moulinier.
-At your service.
-It's a surveillance.
Wait, I'm not old enough
for surveillance missions.
We're in a state of emergency.
And in a state of emergency,
we obey more and argue less.
-Who's the target?
-A woman.
Surveillance and courtesy, then?
What kind of misogyny is that?
Since when have courtesy missions...
are only related to female targets?
He's done courtesy missions
with only female targets?
-No.
-So what?
It's not a courtesy mission.
You're gonna follow that woman
and you won't ask any questions.
I want to know what you're doing,
where you live, who you see.
And attention: don't establish
no eye contact.
A pro-FLN?
A pro-OAS?
A pro-coup?
A pro-anti-golpe?
What's going on?
-Maybe it was a short circuit.
-Or a long circuit.
I'll call
minister's office.
Maybe they heard from Algiers.
What about the bonuses?
What do you mean?
It seems logical that there should be
a state of emergency bonus.
And a nightly bonus.
One more bonus for
overwork.
Without omitting the noise nuisance
related to the siren.
The state of emergency allows t*rture
throughout the metropolitan territory
without judicial control.
It is a bonus in itself.
What it changes in
...about everyday life?
We tortured urgently.
Why do you want to join the KGB?
What do you expect from us?
Protection?
Women?
-Money?
-Nothing of that.
I want to enter the living forces
of the Soviet Union.
I don't care about this France anymore.
capitalist, bourgeois and conservative.
I want a Communist France.
I will no longer accept
that 10% of the world's population
has 90% of the wealth.
The communist idea is incipient,
while capitalism reproduces
the old ways and inequalities
of the Old Regime.
I want to help change the world.
How my parents tried
by fighting fascism.
And what assures me
that this beautiful speech
was not developed
by the French services?
These people k*lled me and buried me.
What else do they need?
You mean you're gonna hire me?
Are you in a hurry?
No, but...
But these little papers...
Doubts the effectiveness
of KGB methods?
No.
Of course you don't.
Mullerovitch.
Hôtel du Lion d'Or,
Room 7, stand by.
As Acting Director of Service
and considering the
gravity of the situation,
I inform you that a new agent will be
effective as of tonight.
This appointment comes
to salute and exalt your qualities
of punctuality,
order, good maintenance
of the dossiers and intuition.
Remarkable, essential qualities,
through which you arrived
the time to appreciate it.
Appointed as a category A agent,
step 1.
Cottin.
Who?
No, Mr. Moïse.
I don't know, I can't do that.
Don't worry. It's definitely
a new procedural flaw.
I'm embarrassed...
Punctuality, intuition,
good maintenance.
It's the woman's qualities.
It has nothing to do
with the qualities of an agent.
Congratulations, Agent Cottin.
Marie-Jo.
Thank you, Mr. Moïse.
-I don't know what to say.
-You act, which is much better.
-Do you have a c*ck?
-No c*ck during the coup.
Bénichou, you can't deny it's w*r.
w*r, w*r damage,
w*r damage, insurance reimbursement.
It's a coup, Mr Jacquard.
It's not always w*r.
The military, the cars on the streets,
the bombings, what is it then?
The term used by my company is...
Wait.
There you go.
"An organized statement
by some retired generals."
Retired? They're in shape.
Those are the words
of General De Gaulle.
If De Gaulle's words become
the prototype of precision,
we haven't finished the job yet.
Thief!
Antisemite.
No, Mr Jacquard. No!
Very good, Mr Jacquard,
Mr. Bénichou,
you shame France.
You gotta be nice
with people.
