Original subtitles

As you can see, we exhibit mineral samples here.

That's the big meeting room.

Gunther's office, George's office... Hello.

I'll introduce you to your colleagues. They're all very nice.

-Hello, everyone. -Hello.

This is Anna...

Anna, it's Antoine.

I'm called to say happy birthday.

I miss you a lot.

Mom and Dad miss you, too.

We love you.

I'm going to keep calling.

I hope one day you'll pick up.

Happy birthday, sister.

This is the birthday girl, Anna.

Sit, sit!

Hi. Stuart.

- Anna. - Hi. Nice to meet you, Anna.

Oh, is that baba ganoush?

I am on a constant search for the perfect baba ganoush.

-Do you mind if I... -Yeah, go, sure.

Oh, thank you.

Now...

Oh, that's good. That's really good.

Thank you. Happy birthday to you.

Thank you. They made me join them.

They have this kind of, uh, birthday tradition at work, so..

-I had to come. -Oh, dear. I'm sorry.

No, but I,

I didn't mean to be moody.

Do you live in Cairo?

Um, no. It's just... I'm doing a quick work visit.

What do you do?

I'll tell you, but as long as you promise not to be too sarcastic about it.

But now, you know, I'm intrigued.

I-- I just work for a-- a human rights organization.

-So, why would I be sarcastic about it? -Oh,

'cause so many people think that humanitarian work

is a fucking hobby, that's why.

But I don't.

- Good. - But to be honest,

you don't look like you work for a human rights organization.

Huh? Why not?

I don't know. You don't seem like the type.

You know what they say, don't you? If you're mean on your birthday,

you're gonna be mean all year long. Watch out.

And which organization?

Oh, it's not one of the big ones,

but essentially, we support grassroots movements

in the Middle East.

Liberal forces, democratic elements.

Basically anyone who wants to make their country a better place.

And here in Egypt?

All over the region, really.

We have good friends in Tunisia, and Libya, uh,

Yemen, Iran, too.

Incredibly brave people.

Do you work with the Green Movement in Iran?

Yeah, well...

various groups.

Can't really talk about it too much in detail though.

Our concern is always our friends and counterparts in those countries,

so, you know, if they were exposed,

serious harm could come to them, so,

So, we don't like to get into too many specifics about it.

That's all.

Mm. This is just off the charts.

Really delicious.

But what do you do exactly?

Oh, mostly finance.

Donor relations, that kind of shit.

-So, you're-- you're the money man? -Yeah.

That makes sense.

Now, are you gonna be mean for 364 days from now on?

At least.

♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday, dear Anna ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪

Over here!

The Iranians have finally said yes to the Hamadan project.

-Really? -It's amazing.

That's great.

You didn't think it would happen. You have to come with me.

I never said it wouldn't happen, but I like working here.

You've been stuck in that lab for 6 months!

Be my assistant. We can co-publish the articles.

-Say yes. -I don't want to go to Iran.

But well done. It's great news.

I'm really happy.

Mm-mmm.

This one

-is your type, right? -You kidding? He's, like, 20.

Really. It's never gonna happen.

-No, you didn't. -Optimism, Stu.

You have to be optimistic.

But this is-- It's a nice app. Handy!

Yeah, it-- it is...

Is everything okay?

It's-- it's fine, just, um...

Just give me a moment?

Oh...

I'll come back.

I'll try to figure it out.

Shit.

-What happened? -Oh, it's, uh,

it-it-it's a work thing.

Tell me. What's wrong?

We've been, um...

We've been working with this-- this activist

for about a year now, and recently,

the authorities had started to harass us, so...

it looks like she might've been exposed.

And if that is the case,

then they'll arrest her, and...

And who's they?

Oh, um, she lives in Tehran, and...

we, uh, we're taking the unusual step of trying to get her out.

So, we found a...

fake German passport and convinced this European diplomat

to deliver it to her, but I've just been told

his trip has now been canceled,

so it looks like we are now really up shit creek

without a paddle, as it were.

Don't you have someone else?

To go to Iran with this kind of short notice

and do something incredibly risky? No, um...

no, trusted names are not exactly popping into my head right now.

I-- I am sorry, I-- I gotta go deal with this really.

So lovely to see you again, Anna. Really.

And if that Adonis gets in touch, I'm gonna blame you.

Sorry.

Okay, ciao. Bye.

Stuart!

Stuart!

Yeah?

I was thinking.

You know Thomas? He keeps asking me to go to Iran.

Oh, no, no, no. Absolutely not--

No, but he can arrange a visa for me in no time.

-It might be the best solution. -No, Anna, I don't think you understand.

A diplomat has immunity. If he gets caught,

he just gets chucked out of the country.

-You're a civilian. If you get caught-- -Yeah, I understand the risk.

But you'll never find someone else on time.

Well, gimme-- gimme 24 hours to...

see if I can find a solution, okay?

And then maybe, just maybe,

we'll talk about it then.

Thank you, Anna.

God, you are a star. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we are now beginning our descent.

We are expected to land at the Tehran Imam Khomeini Airport

in about 20 minutes.

Your castle, my lady!

The dig is a 20-minute drive. We'll go tomorrow.

In the meantime, relax.

I'll take you there tomorrow.

I know it's not exactly luxurious, but...

It's great.

It's just one week.

Well, here you go.

Thanks.

See you tomorrow.

Do I leave this here?

-You can give it to me. -I haven't done this in years.

I wish I could stay longer.

Will you be traveling?

I'm going to Tehran for the weekend.

I want to see it.

It's a great place.

Your accent's different. Where are you from?

I was born in Syria but I'm Kurdish.

I came to Iran last year to get married.

OK.

Do you like it here?

Yes, but I miss my family.

I didn't introduce myself. I'm Anna.

Nice to meet you. I'm Helan.

Hi. Welcome.

Thank you.

And I-- I need to wash my hands.

Yes.

I have the... the passport for Zahra.

I hope it will... it will help her.

I have a letter from Zahra to send back with you.

It's okay?

- Hey! - Sorry I'm late.

No, no, it's fine.

We're just about to have some supper.

-We? -Yeah, we.

Go on through.

Hey, everybody! Wanna introduce you to the famous Anna.

-That there's Jenny, that's Benji... -Welcome!

...and Alex, and-- Jacob, you there?

- I'm here. - Yeah?

- Hi. Nice to meet you. - Hi. Hello.

Hi, I'm Jacob.

- Come on over! - Yeah, food's on the table, so..

Yeah. Hey, come in, come in.

I was so glad when you called and said you wanted to come.

- I-- I brought you something. - Stuart] Yeah?

-Yes. -What, a little gift?

Does he deserve it? I'm not sure.

Yes, I deserve a gift.

Oh, baba ganoush!

- No. Is it called mirza ghassemi. - Yeah?

-It's quite similar. -Oh, great!

Lemme try this. What have we got?

Mmm. Oh, this is, um--

Boy, it's a lot of garlic!

And some cumin and, uh, some something else.

-What is it? -Coriander.

Coriander. Right. No, it's nice!

It's good. I mean, not as good as...

- Baba ganoush. - Baba ganoush. Oh, my God, no!

Um, that was amazing what you did back there.

I don't have enough words to express our...

gratitude for your help. Really appreciate it.

It went very well.

Okay! Help yourself.

Um, can I have the tomatoes?

An obsession of mine, maybe more than that.

Um, yes, can I have...

Thank you very much, mm.

Anna.

-Did you open that? -I did.

Why?

Because something wasn't right about it.

You know I'm not stupid.

The man at the restaurant.

I gave him the passport for Zahra.

But he didn't even take it out of the envelope,

like it didn't matter to him.

All he wanted to do was to give me this letter.

-That's very careless of him. -What's in it?

I couldn't find anything unusual.

-Just drop it, Anna-- -No, I did something.

I want to know what.

Come with me.

You were right. We are working with the Green Movement.

About a year ago,

one of the activists there was, uh, was arrested.

And then, three months ago...

he was diagnosed with blood cancer.

We believe that the regime poisoned him.

They exposed him to

some kind of radioactive material.

His friends managed to get him to lick this envelope, so...

we're gonna get the saliva tested

to see if it has any radiation.

That doesn't sound like the work of a human rights organization.

Who are you?

You sure you really wanna know? 'Cause...

if I tell you...

everything's gonna change for you.

Yes.

Okay...

-I work for a government. -Which government?

I'm Israeli, and I work for the Mossad.

So, you used me?

You knew that I would never help a spy agency.

And I want nothing to do with the Mossad.

We are not the bad guys here.

Yeah, but you're not the good guys either.

We didn't hang Navid.

-How do you know him? -I didn't know him,

but I knew of him.

And I know you, Anna.

And I know what you're made of.

So you've planned it? Since the beginning?

It was a test.

-A test? -Mm-hmm.

It was a test that you

passed spectacularly.

You're sharp and observant, Anna.

You have great intuition, good logic.

And yet, when...

when I told you the highly dubious tale of...

of an activist in distress,

you simply said you'd do it. You didn't bat an eyelid.

Why would you do something like that?

You did it 'cause deep down inside, right in here,

you knew it was the right thing to do.

Now,

Thomas has asked you to stay on at the dig, right?

If you were to accept his offer--

No, are you insane?

I'm not gonna do it again!

-I'm not gonna spy for Israel. -I'm not asking you to spy for Israel.

I'm asking you to work with liberal forces

against the people who murdered Navid.

Now, you can go back to your little apartment in Cairo,

mourn Navid and cry yourself to sleep,

or you could just join us and make a change.

I can promise you this.

If you say yes,

it will be the most meaningful thing you've ever done in your life.

Okay, so we've installed

encrypted messenger on your laptop. So what you do is click

-on this combination right here... -Mm-hmm.

...and then you type in a sequence.

You don't wait for a password box to appear.

You just type it in. 0-2...

Q-T-98.

There you go.

Moving around enemy territory is like playing chess.

You have to anticipate your opponents moves

and what he thinks you will do,

and plan your movement accordingly.

After lunch, we'll discuss your escape plan.

It sounds scary, but you'll need an emergency exit strategy

-OK. -Don't worry, it won't happen.

But we always plan for the worst case scenario.

Part of the job, OK?

The food is ready!

Barbecue.

- That looks good. I want that. - Hey, no. Keep your hands off.

Anna first.

Get phones and hand them out.

We're planning to bring at least 1,000 students for this demonstration.

It's not a lot, but it will be a start.

OK.

So to build momentum, we need videos and photos.

- Are you being careful? - Yes.

We know who's working for the regime, so we stay away from them.

Good. It's not worth it if one of you gets hurt.

We're prepared to take risk,

even though as long as we know it will change something.

Will your government continue to support us?

Do we have France's support?

You have the support of all countries that value freedom.

What are your plans for the next days?

My mother-in-law has invited you for the weekend.

If you're free.

That's kind, but I don't want to intrude. It'd be the 4th time.

You've kept count?

My family would be happy to see you again.

So would I.

I'd love to see them.

Anna? Helan?

April 14th, 2012.

Hamadan expedition, Iran.

Site C-7. Guys, how is the digging going?

Uh, we're on the second layer,

so it's the most boring part.

But, uh, the accommodations are "great,"

and the conditions of the site are great, too,

so no complaints. Right, guys?

There. All smiles.

Now stop.

No, stop it.

] ...and early years services will receive

the largest amounts.

At least 70 people were wounded during last Friday's demonstrations

in Tehran, according to state media.

However, unofficial sources say that government forces used deadly force

against protesters,

killing at least eight and wounding nearly 300.

Over 200 students were arrested as a result of this harsh crackdown...

Is something the matter?

No, I'm fine.

And now to sports. Liverpool manager

Kenny Dalglish referred yesterday to the decision...

Glass of wine under the tree?

We're following the latest events in Iran.

We're gonna avoid dealing with civil protests for a while.

It's too dangerous.

So, that's it?

We're not going to support them anymore?

It was never about taking the regime down with one massive tsunami.

The way to do it is to...

just keep hitting them over, over, over...

Small, powerful tidal waves.

So, what's next?

We want to move our focus...

to the military nuclear program.

Iran has just entered into negotiations.

We wanna make sure they really mean it.

-That they're not bluffing. -But we never talked about

-something like that. -Oh, well...

These negotiations took us something by surprise.

But if-- if you're uncomfortable with

a mission like this, then you don't have to do it.

I mean, it's no more dangerous than what you've already done.

We have a... a list of suspicious sites in Tehran.

All you'd have to do is drive by them.

We'll send you the specialist equipment

for the car, sensors, and what have you.

And what if it turns out they're lying about the program?

We'll notify whoever we need to notify.

Bit of luck, there'll be a diplomatic solution.

But it will be another tidal wave.

And a strong one.

OK.

Good.

Now might be a good time for you to...

build up your network.

Find people who you can trust,

cultivate them.

By cultivate, you mean...

finding a weakness

-and exploiting it? -No, not a weakness, no.

A vulnerability perhaps.

No, weakness is just weak.

Simple as that.

Don't ever wanna work with a weak person.

Whereas vulnerability is a powerful engine.

Once you acknowledge your vulnerability,

you can become stronger.

Navid was...

still is, to a certain extent,

your vulnerability.

Once you faced it,

look where it took you.

How were all your meetings?

-You didn't miss the dust too much? -I missed it every day.

Luckily my assistant looks after everything.

You do an amazing job.

Thank you for trusting me.

And for the raise.

It's a big help.

You deserve it.

No one knows this dig better than you.

I need to talk to you.

This is my sister.

-Gilia. -I know.

I've heard she's pretty impressive.

Do you know anything about the YPJs and the YPGs?

-Heard of them? -Yes, but I don't understand.

What do you know? Where'd you get this photo?

From some friends of mine who want the same things as your sister.

We're fighting for greater freedom and justice.

Like Gilia.

That's why I'm here.

The dig is just a cover.

By telling you this, I'm putting myself in danger.

-If you tell... -I won't.

We need your help.

I won't lie to you, this is a dangerous, stressful game.

But I'm certain you'd be very valuable to us.

Take your time before you give me an answer.

I know I'm asking a lot.

No.

I don't need time.

I'll do it. I want to help.

I spoke to my mother yesterday. She's worried.

Because of this new group? ISIS?

Yes. They're very bad.

If you're not Muslim enough for them, they punish you.

We're not Muslim enough for them.

Is your family in danger?

Not right now. They're far away.

But one day the jihadists will attack.

Your sister will fight back.

I know. It'll be OK.

Next time, you'll go alone.

We can't leave the dig together.

It looks suspicious.

OK.

What do you want to eat?

There's a place nearby that has a really good vegetarian Khoresh.

And what about me?

They serve meat, too.

Turn left here.

These are all the radioactive isotopes the sensors

in the car have picked up on.

It could be miniature uranium labs.

Yeah, they could also be dental clinics.

Except we know that they have miniature labs all over the city.

JENNY] Well, we also know they have dental clinics.

Hey.

Get a message to Anna.

Ask her to do a drive by these on a weekly basis.

Then circulate a report with the addresses of them

'cause we need to identify the people who work there.

Okay, sure.

You did a phenomenal job on the dig.

The analysts are thrilled.

So, does it mean we can finally stop?

'Cause we've been doing it for months.

Yeah. As a matter of fact, yes.

You can. We have everything we need.

Okay. And what's the conclusion?

We're gonna have a discussion about it here next week.

We're gonna evaluate and analyze the info.

- I'd love for you to be here. - OK.

- Sure. - Can you get here by Wednesday?

Yeah.

OK. Can't wait.

That would be great.

See you on Wednesday then.

OK. Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Iran nuclear scientist killed in car bomb blast

♪ Oh, how to be brave ♪

♪ You've gotta be brave... ♪

A bloody morning in Tehran:

at least six people have been killed

in what looks like a coordinated attack

against Iranian nuclear scientists.

No details yet, but according to unofficial sources on the ground

three scientists have been murdered, as well as...

-Yes? -It's me.

Where are you?

At the dig.

How was your trip?

It was fine.

Listen, Helan,

I just realized I forgot to put the milk away.

-Sure? -Did you hear me?

Can you go throw it out, please? Or it'll stink up the whole flat.

OK.

Do you understand? Go do it right now. It's going to be a hot day.

Got it. I'll go right now.

Good.

I'm sorry.

Shit.

Shit!

Stuart!

Stuart!

Just outside!

We selected only the strategic targets.

-It was aggressive. -Aggressive?

A woman was in the car.

Yes, I know. It was all we could do.

We expected to have delayed their progress by two years,

maybe more, so it's a win.

-No! The plan was to share the intel! -We tried.

The Americans wanted to go down the diplomatic route

where we felt we had no choice but to go it alone.

Now, I wanted to tell you, but it wasn't my decision.

How stupid do you think I am?

Of course it was your decision not to tell me.

And it was never about the sanction!

You knew from the beginning how it was going to end!

No. It was one of many options, and you knew that.

What about Helan?

We should've told her.

-She's my friend. She has been loyal. -Yes.

Yes, she is. She is all of that,

but my objective was just to get you out of there.

Helan is... she's an asset.

She's a source. Yes, it was my decision not to warn her,

and you know exactly why.

I called her.

I told her to run.

Yes. I assumed you would, and I'm fine with that.

She's got plenty of time to get to the border.

No, she doesn't.

You know it's too late.

You betrayed me, Stuart.

Oh, grow up, Anna!

You made your decision a long time ago!

You could've walked away from all of this.

No one would've stopped you, but you chose to stay.

Don't blame me.

And you're gonna have to stay here,

at least until we figure out what to do next.

] It has been more than a week since the assassination

of the nuclear scientists, and the investigation continues.

Iran blames the Israeli Mossad for the attack

and vows to find and punish...

...the responsible parties.

] It has all the signs of an Israeli operation.

It is very sophisticated.

Iran has a lot experience

-in terrorist attacks like this. -Yes?

This is not over. It is just beginning.

We had a call...

from our source within the Iranian Ministry of Defense.

Helan and her husband

were arrested five days ago.

And I'm afraid that Helan did not survive the...

the interrogations.

I'm so sorry, Anna.

She told them...

all about you.

Told them your name.

Iranians aren't gonna talk about it 'cause...

it'll be too embarrassing for them. But...

they will be looking for you.

They'll want revenge.

So, Israel will be the safest place for you right now.

We can protect you there.

You know, when I...

when I first recruited you,

I never imagined that you'd go as far as you have.

You're a natural, Anna.

I-I wanna fix you up with a job at headquarters--

Never.

If you go back to Cairo, we can't guarantee your safety.

I don't care.

I'm out.

What it's used for is

you can allow yourself

to go on the research

and to understand these facilities.

So, it means that

in the field, you have from going back here

to the animal mummification. OK?

So then,

about the experience,

um, and the mud trace...

The target is approaching the vehicle.

Wait until she gets in.

I lost visual of the car.

Can you see her?

The truck is blocking my view.

Can I press the button?

Wait. We need to be sure.

Cross the street

and tell me if you see her.

Get ready.

She's in the car.

It's over.

The Iranian team have reported you dead.

-Did you take care of everything? -Mm-hmm.

Dental records?

Cyber's already hacked into your dentist's server

-and switched the records. -And DNA?

We'll handle the pathology tests after the autopsy.

The corpse's DNA will match yours.

-Who was she? -Young woman,

found dead on the street four days ago.

No ID, no records, so...

Everything's taken care of, Anna.

Here.

Just to be clear.

This is what you wanted, alright?

Anna Habert is dead.

You can't go back to France, you can't contact your family.

We're good.

Welcome, Anna. Come.

Open up! New recruits.

Do you know the story of the Snake Queen?

It's a Kurdish legend.

She's was half woman, half snake.

That's disgusting.

No.

She was a beautiful creature.

For Westerners, the Snake Queen sounds...

like something bad.

But to us, she's someone good.

She's the keeper of secrets and wisdom.

You remind me of her.

Shamaran, the Snake Queen.

Shamaran.

Shamaran, I like it.
