[Imogen's father] Darling Violet,

it's time to say goodbye
to the land of Illyria.

[assistant, in French] They spent
the night away from any main roads.

She's clearly abandoned the directive
to take the target to Edip Köyü

and is headed to Istanbul.

[Mr. Demir] They closed the Galata Bridge
today. They're looking for someone.

- Where is she?
- [Adilah] Here.

The target claims to be
Adilah El Idrissi from Paris.

She left behind a daughter.
So, guess what?

At 8:15 this morning, a ten-year-old girl
was intercepted on her way to school.

Strands of her hair were taken.

All I need you to do is analyze them.

[Imogen] We're here to see Mr. Demir.
This lady needs to get to Paris.

$2,000 now,

8,000 when you give us
the passport and papers.

The Book of Surprises
from the 14th century.

It's about djinn and devils
and shape-shifters.

[Imogen] There are seven djinn kings.

One for each day of the week.

They can change into anything.

Using DNA evidence, the Americans

have proven that the woman you are with
really is Adilah El Idrissi.

The woman I am with is
the ISIS commander we are looking for.

The woman I am with is the Djinn Al Raqqa

and I will prove it.

- Black aces and eights. Dead man's hand.
- [players clamoring]

You're having a laugh.
I'm making millions.

- [all shouting]
- [player 2] Close the door, man!

[player 1] Door, man! What are you doing?

- Geez louise.
- [player 2] Haven't heard that in ages.

There's some guy out there
I've never seen before.

Yeah, all right.

- I'm out.
- [player 2] Yeah, take your money.

[player 1] Of course you can't.
It's full of money.

[in Arabic]
...four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

[grunts, panting]

[Guy] Hello. [speaks Arabic]

It is customary for all visitors
to this camp to report to the UNHCR.

So could I see some identification
right now, please?

Hey, mate.

Identify yourself.

My name.

My name is...

[breathes heavily]

[phone buzzing]

[killer] I have her cell phone.

So, it can begin.

And so it can begin.

I got the call.

It's time.

[PA announcer speaking Bulgarian]

You can't move into check.

And yet I so often do.

Gosh. You know what I've missed most
living in the camps?

The smell of a Western pharmacy
when you walk in.

The soap.

The perfume, the... the cleanliness.

Just... [sighs]

It's the finest achievement
of civilization.

Why would you regularly help people
cross international borders?

I didn't say I did it regularly.

I did it once before.
It was a woman and her baby.

I went to Istanbul, got them passports
and crossed the border with them.

Because you are an angel.

Yes. I am an angel of the Pharmacy
of the church of St. Boots.

You and I have been together
for far, far too long.

We've actually only been alone
together for 77 hours.

Can we help you?

I love chess. I am obsessed.

[sucks teeth] Mm-mmm.

That's cheating.

He might be bad at chess.

He might be a grand master.

I am somewhere in between
but closer to grand master.

Your king is now where he should be.

All will now fall into place.

[PA announcer speaks French]

[border guard, in French] Next.

Next.

Hi.

[chuckles, exhales]

[Imogen] Adilah, don't leave the apartment
I've arranged for you.

Just stick to the plan.

We'll speak tomorrow.

[PA announcer]
Welcome to Charles De Gaulle.

Yasmina.

- Yasmina.
- Mama!

[crying]

Adilah.

[Adilah speaking French]

[in French] You have grown so much.

[Nour, in French]
Adilah, who is this with you?

[in French]
I want you to meet someone who helped me.

Her name is Imogen.

Bonjour.

Bonjour.

[in French]
I've heard a lot about you.

["Petite Fleur" playing]

[singing in French]

You look terrible.

- Why are you still in Paris?
- [Max sighs]

I thought your DNA
miracle closed the case.

Oh, the investigation
into Adilah El Idrissi was closed.

All right, and then...

two NGO workers were executed
next to the tent where she was detained.

Is it true that
the French intelligence systems

close at 5:00 and open at 9:00
like a grocery store?

What has happened?

Okay. I am declaring
this intelligence briefing official

at... let's see... 8:15 French time.

As the rep of the Paris station CIA...

- No.
- ...I am opening a briefing session with...

With?

Okay, doesn't wanna give us his name.

With a representative of the DGSE
to officially inform him

of pertinent developments
in an anti-terrorism investigation

that took place early this morning.

And as the sole source
of this intelligence,

CIA Paris station hereby claims primacy
in the consequent investigation

into the anti-terrorism investigation

referred to previously
as Operation Genie of Raqqa.

I now ask my French colleague
to respond to my request

to share fresh
and relevant intelligence with him.

Fuck you.

Okay.

Copy that.

[speaking French]

Uh, uh. I'm sorry, I don't, uh...
[speaks French]

Your-Your friend.
He did not pay for his coffee.

You're kidding me.

Course, he didn't.
I am so sorry, my man. How much was it?

4.60.

4.60. Okay, I'll tell you what.
You keep that, all right. Keep the change.

America always picks up the tab, baby.

[gunshot]

When you're dead,

no one will be able to touch your bodies
because of contamination.

These are your death shrouds.

Put them on now,
so you're wearing 'em when you die.

So you will be appropriately dressed
when you reach heaven.

Remember, once you've exposed
the cores of the radiology machines,

you'll have three minutes to get them
out of their casings

and into the water
inside the lead containers.

Within one minute of exposure
to the cores, you'll be very sick.

After two minutes, you may be blind.

After three minutes,

you'll be dead.

So the task must be completed
within three minutes.

We need both cores.

You've practiced the movements
and seen diagrams many times.

In the three minutes
you have before death,

think only of the final consequence.

[in Arabic] You will be hailed in heaven,
and remembered on earth.

[sniffs]

[whispers in Arabic]
Let your heart be strong.

[exhales, sniffs]

[in Arabic] Help me.

[sighs]

[grunts, coughs]

[grunts]

[coughing]

[groans]

[gasping]

[gasping continues]

[both coughing]

- [chattering]
- [piano playing]

[Imogen clears throat]

[Malik clears throat]

Must be nice to be yourself again.

I need two things, Malik.

I need a shower, and I need
to be left alone to pursue this.

Imogen, I was shown a photograph
of two dead bodies in the snow

by an American who
is always 12 hours ahead of me.

Early this morning, the director
of the refugee camp was shot dead

along with the head of communications.

And we believe that it was no accident

that their bodies
were found next to the tent

where Adilah El Idrissi
was kept in isolation.

The body of a low-grade ISIS volunteer
known to the MIT was found dead

with a single gunshot to the head
45 kilometers away on a mountain road.

Ultimate intelligence hygiene
in the manner of the Russian FSB.

[server] Voilà.

- [server speaks French]
- Merci.

As of course you must understand,

the murders at the camp have changed
things, and the case has been reopened.

It's not reopened
because it was never closed for me.

I knew it was her, not Sabaine.

You were right, okay? You were right.

Say it again in French.

[chuckles]

[speaking in French]

But you can't keep going rogue.

We are now on French soil.

The DGSE will not allow
a lone British agent

to handle a high-value target
without French supervision.

It simply cannot happen.

Also, the DRSD, the PRGB,
and the DCPJ will need to be involved,

and also the Americans.

They believe that inside the head
of whatever the fuck she is to you,

there is a plan to kill
a massive amount of people.

And you're still sure
she's capable of that?

Everyone is capable of everything.

Adilah El Idrissi's apartment
has already been wired with devices,

and her phone is tapped.

She isn't going back to her apartment.

- Why not?
- 'Cause I warned her not to.

I told her she'd be under surveillance.

Fuck.

I mean, I know where she's going.

So where's she going?

Imogen, the president of the United States

is briefed on the progress
of this investigation every fucking day.

Then tell the president
of the United States

that no one else can achieve
what I can achieve.

And what is it that you can achieve?

[server clears throat]

[speaks French]

[American accent] Ladies and gentlemen,
may I please have your attention?

My wonderful boyfriend
just asked me to marry him!

- [patrons cheering]
- [Imogen] Merci.

And I said yes!

[cheering, applause]

To true, true love.

[patrons] To true love.

[normal voice]
Adilah El Idrissi is a shape-shifter.

And so am I.

You can tell
the president of the United States

I know what the fuck I'm doing.

[shower running]

My Violet.

Can you remember her face?

[sniffs]

[phone buzzing]

[phone ringing]

Emir.

[Adilah] I'm not sure who she really is.

I need to find out
if she knows anything about our plan.

[sighs]

So, what is this woman like?

There's something...

intangible about her. Can't name.

Sounds like someone I know.

Even though we're lying to each other,

I feel like I've been more honest
with her than most people.

You and I are the same.

We're all the same in this thing we do.

But you always go too far.

You disappear.

Even to yourself.

And to me.

I'm here now.

When you were in Istanbul,

I was worried that it would bring back
too many memories.

[phone buzzing]

Are my calls being intercepted?

Of course they are.

Don't take the call. Please do...

- Hello.
- [Adilah] Hi. It's me.

How are you?

I've been drinking champagne and scotch.

[Imogen] What about you?

I imagine it's a little bit overwhelming
being back home.

[Adilah sighs] It's everything.

I just had the longest bath with Yasmina.

She's sleeping now.

- [agent] Sir, I need you to hear this.
- [Adilah] So let's meet.

[Imogen] I know the perfect place.
It's a restaurant called Guy Savoy.

It's on the Quai de Conti.

- [Adilah] Okay.
- [Imogen] Okay, let's say 7:30.

- [Adilah] Yes.
- [Imogen] Perfect. I'll see you then.

If you know you're being surveilled,
why did you make a rendezvous?

To help your department maintain control.

How very kind of you.

You're welcome.

We arranged the real rendezvous
on the plane

'cause I knew my phone would be bugged.

Now that I've done that on a tapped line,

you can send
your people there tonight at 7:30.

Find out who else
is listening to my calls.

I do these things purely in
the interests of Anglo-French relations.

So in the interest
of Anglo-French relations,

you now tell me
where you're really meeting her.

I will debrief you tomorrow morning.

Fine. No problem. I'll have you followed.

Ooh. Good luck with that.

[chuckles]

[phone ringing]

[speaks French]

[in French] She's gone.
And I don't know where she's going.

The light you are looking at
is her cell phone.

She is meeting with the target,
and we'll be able to track where they are.

I put a device into her shirt.

So either way,
we will be able to track them.

Her methods are unconventional,

but I believe
she is getting closer to the target.

[Magritte, in French]
Very good. Thank you, Malik.

[Adilah] Boo!

Salut.

Salut.

Why did you choose here?

You a big Morrison fan?

No, it's on all the maps.

It's easy to find.

I'm taking you to a grave
that's more obscure.

Come.

The grave of my grandfather.

I often used to come here to talk to him.

Grandfather who was in the revolution?

A hero of the revolution.

What does the line in Arabic say?

You already know what
the line in Arabic says, Imogen.

If Imogen is even your real name.

Still here.

The revolver he used
to fight the French colonizers.

Instead of burying it with him, I put it
in a place where I could reach it.

When I was young and fucked up,
I thought someday I might do this.

Or when people made me really angry,

when people lied to me,
I thought I might do this.

Now, I would love for you
to explain to me why you're helping me.

I want you to explain
in the presence of my grandfather.

He was always able
to tell the truth from lies.

And if your grandfather decides I'm lying?

Then one of the bullets he put into
the chamber 70 years ago

will serve its original purpose.

Can I sit down?

Annihilation of the self
has always fascinated me.

When I was younger,
my father was assassinated,

and I became very familiar with death.

He was a British diplomat.

I grew up all over the world.

And when I was 16, we were in Istanbul,

and he was blown
to pieces in a diplomatic car.

They said there was absolutely
nothing left of him. [chuckles]

He was just made of dust.

See, I think being a diplomat
was just my father's cover.

So who assassinated him then?

The TDKP.

The Revolutionary Communist
Party of Turkey.

Which... the rumor is... was controlled
by the CIA.

The thing that stuck with me,

really struck me, was that there was
nothing left of him for anyone to bury.

So I couldn't understand
what they'd put in the coffin. [chuckles]

One day, the person is there,
and then the next, they're just not.

Strangest thing.

That was not an answer to my question.

Right. Um. [clicks tongue]

When I grew up,
I followed in my father's footsteps.

Uh, I worked in embassies
around the world...

and then I was recruited
as an operative for British Intelligence.

MI6.

You are a British agent?

Yes.

I was sent to the camp
to make contact with you.

The French and the Americans
thought you were someone very important.

Then, apparently, some DNA test
proved that you weren't important at all.

And so, it's all over.

[chuckles]

I'm just a mid-level British agent
whose assignment has been terminated,

and you're a woman who made
a terrible decision long ago.

On the other hand,
maybe not entirely innocent.

So why are you still helping me?

An obsession with annihilation
and those who seek it.

I do want you to s...
hold your daughter again,

without being under constant surveillance.

And I like you.

Never really like anyone.

The inscription says,
"One day, the common people will prevail."

But what's your grandfather's verdict?

Am I telling the truth or am I lying?

Grandfather says...

"The woman is telling the truth."

[guard speaks Bulgarian]

[phone buzzing]

Is it done?

[David] Michal and Farroukh
sacrificed their lives

removing the cores
and putting them in the container.

We will be with you within 24 hours.
Inshallah.

- [safe door closes]
- [keypad beeps]

[electronic music playing]

[patrons chattering]

Hi. Uh, whiskey double, right?

S'il vous plaît.

So interesting they thought
you could be the Djinn Al Raqqa.

So, who is the Djinn?

She's brilliant.

Smarter than any of the male commanders.

She may have designed the entire plot.

Very impressive.

But I knew the truth
about you as soon as I saw you.

What is the truth about me?

You're just a mother
who loves her daughter.

You could never be the kind of woman
who would plan a plot

to kill thousands of people.

Adilah, the Americans. They're never gonna
let you just walk away.

Even if they don't think you're the Djinn.

If they know you are ISIL,
they will capture you,

and interrogate you
and probably torture you.

So will you help me
and my daughter get to safety?

[clicks tongue, inhales]

I need a cigarette.
I'll be back in a second.

[in French] Can I buy you a drink?

[in French] No, thank you.

Well, then allow me to pay your bill.

You ever wonder how we'd do this job
if we didn't drink?

No. Don't be ridiculous.

I think she's playing a double game.

She's still working for them,
and she knows everything.

But she's also trying
to escape with her daughter.

I need her to believe I'm helping her
with that, and she'll stay close to me.

And I know she's going to tell us
what we need to know.

Oh, yeah. I forgot.
You can just feel these things, right?

The deal you and I have is that I do
what the fuck I need to do,

and you report
what I find out back to Langley.

I will report that you're in a good place
with the target

and that you're reporting directly
to CIA Paris station.

We'll keep the French intelligence
at a distance

till you have something to share
that we think they can be trusted with.

You know your tasking.

You can move to phase two
with my permission.

I'm officially moving to phase fuck you.

The only reason I'm working with you

is because in order to operate,
I need to know everything.

And I've calculated
that the Americans know the most

because they have the most money
and superior equipment.

Copy that.

Have you thought
about the fact that the camp assassination

was done in the style of the Russian FSB?

Of course.

Coincidence.

Hmm.

Never trust those, myself.

By the way...

I do need you to do something for me.

I want confirmation
that the TDKP was a cover for the CIA,

and that they
assassinated Marcus Seabright.

And I want to know why.

That's a mighty big ask
for you to work out some daddy issues.

You've done your research.

It's highly classified.

Why would I do that for you?

Because I've done my research as well.

Morocco. 2013.

When do you want it?

5:00 p.m. Your hotel bar.

The martinis are the best in Paris.
From one who knows.

And here I just thought you liked me
for my winning personality.

Some guy came and sat next to me.

I paid the bill.

I can help you, but I need some time.

And I need you to stay with me.

I can protect you from the Americans.

But the deal is Yasmina
has to go back to Nour

until we know exactly what we're doing.
She's not safe with us.

I need you to believe me.

Everything depends on her safety.

So what's your real name?

The best lies are mostly true.

[Emir, in Bulgarian] I have news.

Good news.

As decided at the last meeting
of the NATO general council,

we the Bulgarian Navy are honored

to perform a good will visit
in the coming days

to the United States of America.

- This ship... your ship, The Provadia
- -

has been chosen to carry out
that goodwill visit.

Next week, we'll set sail
for the East Coast of the United States.

So preparations will now begin.

Hopefully when we get to
the United States,

we will make a very big impression
to the city.

That's all.

Stand down.
