Original subtitles

They want Azza Atmani, 100 million, and a plane.

Why are you asking me, then?

I have a feeling Brosseau and Milan

actually know Azza Atmani.

Officially, we will listen,

we will negotiate,

but we will not give in.

This is making my heart stop.

- Should I worry? - No need.

Keep me busy, or I'll kill someone.

I can't stand the wait.

You gave them 24 hours, Massoud.

Why Thylan Manceau? We know it's not them.

We need to buy time till they start making mistakes.

He might remember something.

You say yes, we release

the Minister and Chloé.

You say no, you face the consequences.

Shit!

Take care, OK?

- I know where it is. - What?

I was thinking and now I know.

I know where the photo was taken.

I've been there.

I didn't get it at first,

but the fence at the back,

it looks banal, but when you zoom in, it's very high.

There's barbed wire.

I've been near that fence before.

The neighbour told me he was raising elk.

He must separate the males from the females,

and that's the kind of fence he uses.

- Where is it? - In the Eastern Townships.

Where exactly? That's a big region.

Around Cowansville.

I know it's not a lot, but I'm sure.

What's the matter?

Can Azza not know what's going on?

She's locked in a military prison.

I don't think there's Internet in the cells.

So we could tell her anything.

I don't understand.

We need to know what she knows and what she could say.

How's that connected to telling her anything?

I can tell her we want to know what happened -

internal investigation.

To see if she knows that people took money?

Exactly.

That's why we want to talk to her.

Who are you?

Alain Brosseau.

And I'll introduce you as Agent Ruel.

Mrs. Atmani?

We've seen each other, but I haven't introduced myself.

It won't be necessary.

I'd listen if I were you.

You'll be interested.

Paul?

Yes.

Justine asked me something.

She wants us to find an elk farmer in the Cowansville area.

- Elk? - Yes.

Did she say why?

No.

Did you find any?

I found two.

This is Agent Ruel.

Internal Affairs investigator.

Hello.

Do you know why you're here?

I said "no" yesterday,

and it's still "no".

- Dari Bentayeb. Is he your husband? - Yes.

- We met him. - Is he alive?

I don't know.

We saw him a few months before your transfer.

We don't know where he is.

Was he arrested for gunrunning?

You should know. You arrested him.

No. I'm not a police officer.

I don't arrest people, madam.

You pulled him in arms trafficking

and then you wiped him out to pocket the millions.

Hold on. Mrs. Atmani,

does the name...

Benoît Lebel ring any bell?

Don't answer yet.

What're you doing?

Alain's talking to Azza.

Justine called. I'm off to Montreal.

Coco...

Francis, wake up.

This is the third time your cell rings.

Oh, fuck!

Francis, it's Justine.

What time is it?

It's 5 o'clock, but who cares? Listen up, it's important.

OK, I'm listening.

I'm going to the office. Call Jérémie, get the gear

and the camouflage ready, and wait for us there.

Get ready. I gotta go.

Repeat what I said.

Get the gear, call Jérémie,

and see you at the office.

Perfect.

Will you tell the authorities?

No, I want to check first.

They're better equipped.

I want to be sure that Thylan's right.

Was your husband still doing business with Lebel?

As far as I know, yes.

What exactly did he do?

Arms trafficking for both the U.S. and Canadian governments.

He'd transfer them to the opponents of the Islamic State.

OK, and he was doing it with the consent

of the Canadian and American governments?

Yes.

Then how come he's among the most wanted people in North America?

To silence him.

- Why? - Because they robbed him.

- You know that? - Yes.

I've said it a thousand times, but nobody listens.

Everybody covers their asses.

But the truth will come out. Extremely powerful people know this.

They will do whatever it takes to get the people in charge to pay.

Thank you.

- We need a good close-up lens. - Got it.

We've to be able to send the photos.

Relax, Justine. You're too nervous.

I have good reasons.

I can barely sleep at night. My boss calls me.

I heard you were here.

- We're off for our morning jog. - Right.

We're gonna check something.

Dressed like that?

What I'm looking for may not exist.

Elk?

Julien, if I see something, I'll call you, OK?

We won't play cops.

- That's what I fear. - Maybe it's a friend of Yanis'.

We're just gonna check.

- Will you call me? - Yes.

You're getting weak, you bastard.

I'd let you die,

but I still need you.

So, step one: we drive by.

We take pictures of the place.

We drive past it,

we turn around here,

and again.

I'll be filming with my cell to see what we've got.

Great.

Francis, you drive.

Steady speed. Don't slow down.

What do we do afterwards?

We bring the van back here and walk.

Let's go!

Everybody in.

There's the elk. Adds up.

No cars.

Because there're no people.

- You sound pretty sure. - They didn't come here by bike.

The curtains are drawn.

The place looks empty.

You're going to these addresses.

Only vague questions.

"Have you seen anything unusual? Any strangers?"

Tell me if everything looks normal.

Jérémie and I will be at the front with the elk.

And we'll be at the back.

Shit, it's him.

Hello?

Where are we at?

Hold on.

Are you there?

Yes.

Who is this?

Jacques Langevin, National Security Council.

Where are we at?

We have started the repatriation process.

Where is she now?

On a military base.

I can't tell you which one, I don't know.

You've 8 hours to release her.

We're gonna need more time.

There will be no more time.

I said 8 hours.

The PM is in a meeting.

He will be addressing the country

at around 2:30 p.m.

We can talk afterwards.

You still have 8 hours left.

Justine?

Yes, I'm here.

Hang up and call me back.

- Justine? - Yes.

Anything new?

No, not yet.

What're you looking for?

Nothing, for now. Let me do my job.

Yes. That's the place.

It's there.

So we're at the right place?

That's where I was.

Great. Keep your phone close to you.

The PM's speech is at 2:30.

In case you're into politics.

Not really.

Good luck.

- Find the house phone number. - Yes. Just a second.

- No reply. - Doesn't mean anything.

Nothing ever means anything to you.

I'm stubborn.

So, to recap, you drop off Jérémie and Bob at the elk.

We'll go to the back.

Francis, join us after you leave the van.

Be careful. The place is probably full of explosives.

- Bob to Ju. - Ju here.

We're in position.

Any movements?

Not for the moment.

Let's wait.

Shit, the police is here.

Bingo!

There's someone inside.

Say a prayer.

It's Justine. Yes?

- Tell your cops to beat it. - Quiet, please!

Anyone who shouldn't be here, get out.

I'm sorry. Go on.

Tell the cops at the elk house to clear the hell off.

I don't need cops.

What's going on?

Send the kidnappers a message.

Say you want to speak to them.

Tell them you want to negotiate and keep them on the phone.

I'll do that.

The three of us will have a conversation.

Very well.

Justine to Bob.

Bob here.

- Go closer but stay out of sight. - Copy.

What are the options?

There are no options.

The Minister's released, and she can go scream in the desert.

What if it goes wrong?

As in?

As in the Minister's killed?

She'll rot in prison for a while.

She's been telling her story and nobody listens.

No one's interested in her.

Did you see how fast she unloaded that on us?

She's locked in the U.S. She doesn't speak English.

First chance she gets, she tells everything she knows.

Yeah...

You might be right.

Anyway, I don't think anyone has mentioned Chloé.

Well...

Someone had the brilliant idea to send her there.

Hello?

- I was told to call you. - Just a moment.

Yes, I'm listening.

You asked me to call you.

Perhaps we should call a mediator.

If you accept to talk to him.

What for?

To determine the procedure for Azza's release.

See what we can do.

We already have a plan!

We just want to make sure the Minister's with you.

We don't know you.

What difference does it make whether he's here or not?

You want Azza Atmani, we want proof

that the Minister is fine. Put him on, please.

I'll see what I can do.

Denis!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Come on...

Wake up.

Wake up!

Hello?

Hello?

The line is down.

She needs to call him back.

- Yes? - It's Justine.

We've spotted him in the house.

Where are you?

- Permission to proceed? - Where are you?

We gotta go. I need permission to proceed.

- What are your chances out of 100? - 95.

Hold on.

I need the Prime Minister's approval.

At 95%, you got a green light.

This is a minister. I need the PM's approval.

Wait.

He's calling. Hold on one second.

- It's me. - We apologize. Technical problem.

We agree to Azza Atmani's release

in exchange for the minister's.

Considering Justine's

strong arguments, the PM has given permission to proceed.

OK, Justine?

Yes.

Take the money to the airport tarmac.

Then, you will bring Azza.

I'll tell you where the minister is after take-off.

Of course. You think I'm an idiot?

That's it.

Go check upstairs.

Denis!

Denis...

- Is he alright? - Yes.

It's over, we have the Minister.

Massoud's dead, Denis is unconscious.

Is he hurt?

No. I don't think so.

We found him like this.

- We need an ambulance. - So he's OK.

That's what it seems, but I'm not a doctor.

Shit!

- Is everything OK? - Yes.

- We'll take it from here. Leave. - Yeah, right...

The minister is under our protection now.

Do not contaminate the place.

- Nice job, Justine. - Yeah.

We're leaving without Chloé.

I'm gonna call Milan.

Allouache could threaten us a long time.

If not now, he will, eventually.

100 million is about the right amount.

Looks like it.

He doesn't care. That's nothing for him.

It's not about the money.

It's Justine.

Yes, it's me.

Massoud is down. We found the Minister.

Are you serious?

He was alone. Chloé wasn't there.

Damn it!

Massoud is dead, the Minister's unconscious, but...

no sign of Chloé,

Laurence or Yanis.

I'm really sorry.

No. You don't...

You don't have to be sorry.

Justine...

Find her, please.

- She can't have vanished. - I know.

- Find her, OK? - OK.

This breaking news just in:

A major police operation took place

an hour ago.

Solicitor Beaugrand has been found. He is alive.

However, sources confirm that there was at least one dead.

In a few moments, a press conference will begin...

Good job.

Good job.

That was impressive, Justine.

I'm back without my employee. I feel the work is only half done.

We all appreciate the courage with which you led the operation.

You should thank Thylan Manceau. Thanks to him, we found the minister.

Thank you.

No idea what you were dreaming about, but your eyelids were moving fast.

- You have no right to do that. - Do what?

Watch me while I'm sleeping.

Why?

It takes a minimum of intimacy to do that.

If last night wasn't a minimum, I don't know what is.

No problem, I'll hold.

Yes, Prime Minister.

I just did my job.

How is Mr. Beaugrand?

Glad to hear.

We are having a hard time celebrating -

we haven't found our employee.

There's something else I wanted to tell you.

There's another person I believe you should thank.

Thylan Manceau.

Thanks to him, we found where Massoud was hiding.

Oh, really?

I'll be there.

Thank you.

No, thank you. Goodbye.

Is it top secret, or...

The Solicitor is fine.

He was sedated when we found him.

What he said about Massoud... You looked surprised.

They found out it wasn't his real name.

Great.

I can't stay.

I have to find Chloé.

I should go home too.

Ready to go out there?

To face the music?

I might stay here, after all.

Alright?

- Yes. How are you? - Tired?

We can't really afford being tired.

- We need to find Chloé. - Absolutely.

I can join you, see what our options are.

No. I was actually going to the office.

- The press is starting to call. - Say we won't make any comments.

They want to know what Chloe's role was.

Listen... we'll discuss that later. I'm on my way there.

I can't wait to see you.

OK. Bye.

I really have to go.

Can you give me a ride?

Sure I can.

Someone's waiting for you. The chairman

of the NSC.

"Jacques Langevin" is simpler.

I hope you were offered coffee.

I don't drink coffee.

You didn't have to come.

It's OK, I had some things to take care of in the area.

Do you know them?

Massoud Salamh,

Laurence Vinet-Guillot...

Yes and no.

Massoud Marcos...

and Laurence Marcos.

Brother and sister.

- No one knew that? - Valid passports

and student visas. There was no reason to doubt them.

Him.

- He's Yanis Mavrakis, I hope. - Yanis Bentayeb.

Laurence's boyfriend.

They're family?

Worse than that.

The Marcos are Allouache's nephews.

If Allouache is behind this, they have a lot of resources.

They could make all the false papers they'd want.

Allouache has contacts everywhere.

We're pretty far from Thylan Manceau.

It was a good cover.

They know

what happened to Chloé.

- Mrs. Beaugrand? - Yes. Miss...

Justine Laurier.

- Come in. - Hello.

- Thank you so much for what you did. - That's OK.

Denis, someone's here for you.

Hi, how are you?

I slept for two days, but I'm all in.

Of course.

- Anything to drink? - No, I'm fine.

Have a seat.

I don't know what happened, I was knocked out,

but I heard about it, and...

I wanted to thank you. - You don't have to.

Justine,

please, the credit is all yours.

Chloé and I started together at Blue Moon.

Oh, is that so?

We'd had a rather tense relationship lately, but...

I'd give anything I have to save her.

Look, if there's anything I can do to help you...

Can you arrange a meeting with Atmani?

That won't be possible.

I need to know what she knows.

Listen...

I must send her back to the U.S.

Denis, she's here.

On Canadian soil. Please.

You can ask me anything, but not this.

No way.

- Why? - She doesn't want to talk to us.

Why do you say that?

I've been grilling her for two days - it's no use.

Did you know our three bozos, Laurence, Massoud and Yanis,

are actually family?

- No. - Massoud and Laurence are siblings,

and Yanis is Laurence's boyfriend.

They got rid of Mickaël, he wasn't one of theirs.

I understand.

Listen, I want to speak to Azza.

Milan and I have other things to do.

We'll send her back to the U.S. if she doesn't cooperate.

Not before I see her.

They're getting close to the truth.

They want to talk to Azza.

She'll never get over Massoud's death.

They killed Massoud.

He knew it was risky.

I'm gonna strangle her.

No, you can't do that.

She's the only chance we have left.

She killed William.

It doesn't matter now.

We can't take it out on her. On the contrary.

- Call Allouache. - To tell him what?

- That we want to negotiate. - We may get an arrest warrant.

They want you.

- Who? - I don't know.

They have a score to settle with you.

They're killing my family.

- You knew. - To hell with it,

she's dead!
