Original subtitles

Either it's nothing,

or it's a warning

that something's gonna happen.

William Faisal...

Yanis Mavrakis...

and Laurence Vinet-Guillot.

They're the closest to Thylan.

He bought 30 sacks of fertilizer.

Ammonium nitrate?

Yes.

Mixed with nitro, it's a powerful explosive.

I don't trust this gang.

- They don't look like juniors. - They're no angels.

The election's coming up.

We won't start a campaign with a social disorder in sight.

There's definitely something in the air.

William?

No!

Nothing happened.

False alarm.

What the hell is going on?

Fuck!

Lead them through the emergency exits!

Calmly, please! Calm down!

Through the back. Come on!

It's gonna be fine, come on.

We have to get out of here.

Amateurs.

No matter who they are...

We'll find them.

I swear they're gonna pay.

Come here.

Look at me.

Are you OK?

It seems you gotta be collected.

We've got two options.

One - we call the police.

Self-defense is arguable.

If we do that,

officers will come, plus a forensics team,

plus journalists, plus, plus, plus...

- Do we want that? - No.

Perfect.

Two -

you trust your boyfriend - he's been there.

It's your call.

I'm gonna trust my boyfriend.

Great.

I got a question for you.

Who was he and what did he want?

They know I work for Blue Moon.

Hey.

- Where are you? - At Chloé's.

Why are you there?

I've something to deal with.

The bomb blew up here.

Holy shit...

Any casualties?

An injured person, but we got off easy.

Fucking hell.

Get your ass back here.

No, I can't. I have a 911 on my hands.

A bomb exploded at Blue Moon.

It'll certainly be a factor in the election.

We got a newsflash.

Over to you, Jean-François. What happened?

A bomb has reportedly exploded at Blue Moon,

a paramilitary company that made headlines

after infiltrating the premises of the Network,

headed by the charismatic leader Thylan Manceau.

Are there any dead or injured persons?

It's hard to say, but most of the employees

were not at work at the time of the explosion.

Could this be an act of revenge?

It's too early to draw a conclusion,

but the proximity of the two events

is likely to fuel discussions.

Thank you.

Damn, Milan...

I came to see what was going on, I walked in.

He had a gun, I stabbed him.

That's it.

Are you alright?

Yeah.

- The police can't see this. - No. No police in this.

It's William Faisal, one of Thylan's boys.

He's a damn kid.

What was I supposed to do? Let him kill her?

No.

I waited all night. He never went out.

I saw Milan Garnier checking in his car.

We can't wait much longer.

Yanis and I are ready.

I'll talk to Rafik.

- What do we tell Thylan? - Nothing.

I've spent

the last 10 years defending noble causes

and I've never used violence to achieve my goals.

We agree with you. I mean...

You know us - we are against violence.

People are linking us to the attack.

We can't feel responsible

because we're being pointed as guilty.

Blue Moon is targeted and they want to blame us.

The -ists hate you - communists, Marxists, Trotskyists.

They're putting this on you.

To them, you play the neo-liberalist game

by defending their interests.

How many times do I need to say

that violence serves no purpose?

What makes you think we're fine with all this?

I'm aware of your secret meetings.

- You're paranoid. - Not an answer.

We can't stop excesses.

Well, we don't have to promote them either.

Your hands are clean.

Nothing can happen to you.

You were good.

Huh?

What you were doing with Thylan's gang.

You were good.

I could go back.

No. You can't, you're busted.

Just by their look...

No, Chloé. You're not going back. They know who you are.

It's him?

His car keys.

Go and get lost. I'll take care of it.

Keep your phones on.

Alain Brosseau.

Code 23 in Montreal.

We will not shrink from this brutal act,

which is intended to undermine the government

in its fight against terrorism.

Do you think it's a conflict

between Blue Moon and Thylan Manceau's group?

Any terrorist act against individuals,

groups or institutions is in itself

a punishable criminal act.

Does your government have any links with Blue Moon?

I have no further comments.

We are

a security firm, a paramilitary organization

dealing with a group of troublemakers.

We're not gonna let them blow bombs on us.

By coming here, they crossed the line.

The police should be doing this job.

People are buying chemicals and nobody moves.

Maybe we should tell them.

The information about the ammonium nitrate

comes from the Secret Service. - Yes.

They should transfer it to the RCMP.

What are they waiting to act?

I got the information last night. We have to give them time.

Maybe it's in their interest to let it drag on.

What do you mean?

When people are scared, they turn to the government.

The government will make a move before the election.

- We're playing the political game. - People are going to die for real.

- What do you suggest? - We'll check the information.

We'll expose them for what they are - terrorists.

If they talk to the press, we spread the information.

If the police don't do their job,

we'll do it for them.

The police won't act if the authorities hide things.

No officer would let a truck full of ammonium nitrate through.

We're the target, no one else.

The bomb in the mailbox wasn't for Blue Moon.

Yeah. That's something I don't understand.

So many unclear things.

I hope I'm not disturbing you.

It's been a hectic day, so it's fine.

Oh, yes? What's the matter?

People think I'm setting bombs at your place.

I don't think you are.

You're too smart for that.

I'm sensing some sarcasm.

A bomb exploded in my office.

You're way off you think I'm being sarcastic.

You think I'm involved?

I don't know.

You haven't condemned the attack.

If I do, it will be as if I thought

it was normal for people to think of me

when a bomb goes off.

My organization is not involved in this attack.

Sometimes I tell myself you couldn't do such cowardly things,

but then I think, "He's such a good actor,

"he's probably fooling us all".

You really think I could be a terrorist?

I don't know. That's what bothers me.

I know nothing about Blue Moon,

but when you have ex-soldiers

break in and set up cameras

in a place where citizens call out power,

you shouldn't be surprised if someone reacts badly.

You say I don't denounce violence,

but isn't your business violent?

Spying on people who serve the cause?

"The cause"...

What is this, a sect?

I'm innocent. Why are you bothering me?

Does nitromethane and ammonium nitrate ring a bell?

Should it?

They're very hazardous materials.

It can cause quite a lot of damage.

Go to Google.

Type "Timothy McVeigh, Oklahoma".

You found some in my basement?

Your Yanis Mavrakis has been buying a lot of them lately.

Are you OK?

What is it?

Talk to me. What happened?

- It's William. - What with him?

He was found dead...

stabbed in his car.

Oh, come on!

Our William?

He killed him.

I told him I wouldn't tell you so you'd stay out of it.

You believe him?

As far as we can believe Milan, yes.

- Did they call the police? - No. The guy is William,

Massoud's right-hand man.

If the police gets involved, Blue Moon's name will come up.

Just what I needed.

Milan thinks we should go through the Secret Service.

The police expose Blue Moon.

Secret Service is different.

We're being carried by the events. We've no control.

Let Milan deal with it. Don't get involved.

He wants to do the dirty work, let him get his hands dirty.

That's what your dad would've said.

He would say that?

He was stabbed.

He was supposed to talk to her and then leave.

Do we know who stabbed him?

I saw Milan Garnier.

We can't wait any longer.

They'll find out eventually.

If we do it, there's no going back.

Everything will go down the drain if we wait too long.

It won't be my decision, but Rafik's.

I'm ready.

It's up to you to make the decision.

You're going to have to manage on your own.

We've increased the security.

The packages will be X-rayed on another floor.

Extra cameras will cover the blind spots

and the guards will stay a few months.

- When do they finish? - Today.

OK, good.

We need to get Chloé out of Thylan's reach.

We just have to empty the flat.

What a waste of money!

François.

The tracers are still on.

Now, of course, William Faisal's tracer is dead.

Horrible pun.

Massoud and Laurence are still on the radar.

Yanis doesn't have a car.

The truck rented by Laurence was brought back.

The tracers tell us where the cars are,

not that the people are sitting inside.

- Can I ask a question? - Yes, go ahead.

I don't want to question what we're doing, but...

Why us?

I don't understand.

A bomb can go off in a demo,

but here, at reception?

It might be a retaliation to our bugging.

I get it, Justine,

but this is becoming a settling of scores

between us and some idiots.

Gallons of nitro, sacks of ammonium nitrate -

that can blow up a building.

Who received the information?

What's with the questioning?

We're just wondering.

It sounds more like you're judging our decisions.

We wonder about the relevance of our operations.

We execute the orders of the Secret Service.

If it's too much to ask, we'll reassign you.

Following fraud suspects wasn't enough.

Bomb attacks don't suit you either.

You got me lost.

We're not doing surveillance anymore.

What we need to do now is to investigate.

She's right in a way.

Let's transfer the information to the police.

The Secret Service.

Leave the police out of this.

They told us about the nitrate.

Not only.

They told us about everything.

We've got to keep looking.

Chloé's been blown. She knows she can't go on.

Can you go out? I'd like to talk to Milan.

What is it?

I want to meet Brosseau, from the Secret Service.

OK. Is there any particular reason?

He hasn't told us everything.

I don't mean to contradict her, but...

There're many things we don't know.

And a lot of improvisation as well.

Yes. That's the hardest part.

What do you mean?

We're ex-soldiers.

We were always told what to do, how to do it, with whom...

Improvisation is confusing.

You're probably right.

I'm not sure I want this anymore.

We need someone reliable to do William's job.

Michaël?

Does he know about this?

No, but he's obviously ready.

- He's been waiting for it. - Yes.

OK, Michaël it is.

Here.

They won't be able to trace us with these.

Nitro and ammonium nitrate are not a good mix.

It comes from an unidentifiable source.

Did he buy it or not?

According to our intel, this is the third time.

You knew he'd bought that nitro?

No, we didn't know.

We found out afterwards.

Well, now you know. No excuses.

You're not alone, Justine.

- Excuse me? - You're not alone.

Our guys are on the ground.

Did your guys tell you about the bomb?

What Justine is trying to say in her own way is that...

it'd be nice to have a more sustained exchange of info.

I won't say no to that.

- How are you? - I spend my days doing interviews.

You do?

Are you OK? You look weird.

I'm leaving, Thylan.

Where are you going?

To my country.

I just came to say goodbye.

But...

All this situation... I'm feeling the pressure.

The police are all over me, you doubt me.

- It's better if I leave. - Is this a joke?

Trust me, it's not.

You and I need some air.

OK, stop, you're gonna calm down.

- We'll talk about it... - Don't make it harder.

I don't doubt you...

We've worked together for such a long time.

Damn...

Just wait...

Good luck to you.

I'm deeply sorry.

This is the Secret Service, Justine.

What did you expect?

They don't talk. You've to guess.

I'd be stuck to that gang like a fly

if I were in charge.

They leave them enough rope to hang themselves with.

If things go wrong, we'll have done our job.

Justine,

don't take it personal.

They do their part, we do ours.

That's how it works.

Nice dress.

Thank you.

We're not talking about Blue Moon tonight.

That's up to you.

What will we talk about?

Anything else.

If you were smart, you'd run away.

Why would I run away?

White wine or red wine?

I don't really care.

What's the matter?

I'm not drunk enough to tell you.

Don't get your hopes up.

I stopped doing that a long time ago.

Because of me?

No, I'm talking about life in general.

I'm not being clear.

As my boss would say,

you are damn right.

What do you want?

Justine...

What?

Hey.

You're up?

Since an hour ago. I left you a toothbrush and a towel.

Do you mind if I have some coffee?

Why do you say that?

Next time, we'll meet at my place so you can leave.

We drive around, but we end up eating at the same place.

Might as well go there.

- I do that? - Yes.

Louise, you are a pragmatic woman.

And you're his chauffeur, not his guide.

I like your wife.

Right... Go ahead and turn against me.

He's gonna get killed.

These crazy kids.

Then they whine because insurance's too expensive.

- They should be off the road. - It'd be a pity

to make all motorcyclists pay for a bunch of hotheads.

Want to get killed? Fine. Just don't kill other people.

It's always the same.

The majority pays for the minority. Take Manceau's gang.

Don't even mention them. They are completely useless.

It's the biker kid.

Is he alright?

Want to go see?

Are you OK?

Sir?

Don't move!

Get down.

Give me your phone.

Come on!

Go!

Get out of there!

Give me your phone!

Give me that!

On the ground. Get down on the ground now!

Don't move or I'll blow you up!

I'm sorry you felt that way.

You don't have to apologize.

I've no expectations.

I can't have any.

You open the door, then slam it back.

My ego's got the message.

That's not my intention.

I'm not your father.

Why do you say that?

Because that's what you're looking for.

For you, I'm just a copy of Yves.

You stress out, you come to me to feel safe.

OK...

You warned me, and now I understand.

You run away.

And I've got to stop running after you.

It's OK.

- You won't get that? - I need to process this.

You can answer, Justine.

I said what I had to say. It's fine.

I'd never seen it that way.

But maybe you're right.

Listen, I...

What a pain.

- Yes. - Did you hear the news?

Beaugrand's been kidnapped.

- Wait, what did you say? - Hooded men with guns.

My God! Where?

At his chalet.

Call François. I'll meet him at the office.

Thank you.

I've always said those products will ruin the market.

Yes! Thank you.

The Solicitor General has been kidnapped.

- Denis Beaugrand? - Yes.

Excuse me.

Authorities across the country are on alert.

A Privy Council meeting will take place this afternoon.

All ministers must return to the capital

as soon as possible.

The PM, who was leaving for Paris, has returned

and will be attending the meeting.

I am...

I'm sorry, we're gonna have to postpone it.

I'm sorry.

That's life.

Hello?

Milan, I'm on my way to the office.

- I'll see you there. - Any news from Brosseau?

I'm waiting for a call.

He must be happy.

Don't say that. You're on a cell phone.

I'll see you at the office.

Watch your step, sir.

You call me "sir" now?

It's nicer.

There's no use doing this.

Stop talking.

Did you hurt my wife?

I said, stop talking.

Are you students?

Go ahead.

Don't shout. No one can hear you.

I'm thirsty.

- Do I have to keep the hood on? - Yes.

Your turn. We won't come back.

We'll call you soon.

No problem.

Back to the city.

What's going on?

It looks empty.

It's the weekend.

Laurence and Massoud are not there?

No. There's no one in.

They're smart, they'll come back.

Thylan must be feeling alone.

Don't stay there.

I'll go for a walk...

and come back in an hour.

Just don't stay there. Go home.

- Bye. - Bye.

I'm sorry, you were right.

Don't be. We don't need your "yes, ma'am"s.

Justine.

I spoke to Chloé. There's no one at Thylan's office.

Tell the police that a source at Thylan's

confirms shady stuff is going on.

- "Shady stuff"? - We want to meet them.

François,

where are Massoud, Laurence and Yanis?

Their cell phones and cars are at their places.

Can you locate them?

Call them on their landlines. If they answer, good for them.

If not, they'll answer to the police.

We followed many people. I want a report about who did what.

Drink.

Good?

What is it that you want?

Try not to talk.

I need to go to the bathroom.

You're going to do that in a nice bucket.

Stand up.

Come on.

OK. Turn around a little.

No, it's this way. Keep walking.

Look closely. You have two seconds.

I'll show it to you. Check your feet.

- Saw? - Yes.

Turn around and you're dead.

Don't you feel responsible?

I've said it and I'll repeat it - I am against all forms of violence.

Kidnapping is the most heinous, cowardly act.

Don't ask me if I feel responsible.

But the way you denounce the politicians,

your complaints,

the fact that young people follow you,

doesn't all that nurture a climate of confrontation

between your supporters and the authorities?

You bring up my supporters because they're to blame?

- That's not what I'm saying. - It is.

It may be hard for you to imagine,

but I know that people everywhere

are becoming increasingly fed up.

It should come as no surprise that some of them

choose such drastic measures.

It's disturbing to hear you say that.

Let's be honest.

It's easy to denounce a man's abduction.

The current exploitation of the population

by our decision-makers is harder to denounce.

A feeling of insecurity is being created

to allow the government to better control the distance.

You're part of it.

Social crises that go awry serve the interests of politicians.

Mr. Manceau...

He's no fool.

I'm talking to you.

Bob, let's go outside.

- It's deliberate. - What?

The crisis, the kidnapping...

To make shock waves.

Come on...

Milan and I went to see Brousseau.

He seems way over this.

A Secret Service guy will always seem "over" things.

Who benefits from this?

I refuse to believe they could be that devious.

Well, I think it suits them.

They're looking for reasons to justify

that demos will no longer be allowed.

The authorities can't be blowing up bombs.

No, but they didn't do anything to stop them.

They didn't give a damn about the nitro and the ammonium nitrate.

What you're saying is huge.

The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it.

Milan Garnier.

Yes.

This is Rafik Allouache.

In the next few days, we'll be talking via an intermediary.

Any news from the kidnappers?

No.

It's been 24 hours. Someone's gonna have to claim it.

We might need backup.

I've a bad feeling. Please trace Chloé's cell.
