Good evening.

Thank you.

My meeting at Fleuret's is tomorrow afternoon.

I need the file tomorrow morning.

- Tomorrow morning? - Yes.

- Didn't Mr. Pelissier tell you? - No.

But I'll work things out. It'll be ready.

Thank you. Have a good evening.

Hello, you've reached Etienne's voicemail.

Please leave a message.

Duval here.

I know it's late but please call me back when you get this.

Pernot wants the Fleuret file first thing tomorrow morning.

I can't find all the receipts for provisions you booked.

See? Call me back. Thanks.

Hello, you've reached...

Tomorrow, you and I, we're gonna talk,

because this is ridiculous.

Your files are a total mess. I can't work like this.

Two years later

I can't sleep.

I've got

a constant weight in my stomach.

Like the fear

something will happen

but nothing will...

The doctor recommended I do sport to sleep better.

I think I just need to find a job.

A framework. I'm too...

out of touch.

I need to find

something that occupies my mind and body just like everyone else.

Here.

You've earned it.

One year of abstinence. Congratulations.

I used different softwares in the past.

I'm sure I'll adapt to those used by your company.

Mr. Thuillier, the department head, is 32.

Would working under someone younger be an issue, Mr. Duval?

No problem at all.

The next stage, if you pass the preliminary selections,

is to meet him.

Meanwhile, we need references

from all the candidates.

Please return this application, indicating one or two contacts

at your previous company.

I didn't really keep many contacts.

It's an important part of our recruitment process.

De Grugy.

How's it going?

- Fine. And you? - Quite well, thanks.

How's Marion?

We're no longer together.

Are you going to the "thing" after?

No, I have a plane to catch.

- Still in your dad's firm? - Yes.

I've developed it worldwide.

I'm now acquiring factories in Brazil.

What are you up to?

I worked for an insurance firm. But now I'm unemployed.

Laid off?

Oh, that's a shame.

No-one wants to invest in France anymore.

How are you holding up?

Fine. No problem.

Let's go for a drink soon.

I'd like that.

Thank you.

- I've got to go. See you soon. - Bye.

Today, we welcome

a new member,

Sara.

Welcome, Sara.

Right...

It's your first meeting.

You can remain silent. But if you're ready to speak,

don't hesitate.

I'll just listen today.

Thank you.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

the courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference.

Go over to her and introduce yourself.

It's not necessary. Alice is already speaking to her.

I want her to have 2 contacts if she has a problem.

It's time you shared your experience with others.

Albert asked me to come see you.

You can call me at this number

every day, even late in the evening.

Here.

Do you always do what Albert tells you?

Thanks.

But...

I won't come back.

I don't think it's for me.

The team spirit, the prayers...

Are you all Christians here?

No, but we say the prayer every meeting.

It has meaning for everyone, Christian or not.

It helps us remain humble and know our weaknesses to overcome them.

I see.

Hello?

Mr. Duval?

Yes.

Good evening. Mr. Clément speaking.

I am calling about a job.

It's late. Am I disturbing you?

No, not at all. How did you get my number?

The Job Centre gave me your references.

Are you still looking for a job?

Yes.

Good.

We're looking for a profile like yours for an immediate position.

I'd like to meet you.

Alright.

What company do you work for?

I'll explain it all.

Would you be available for an interview tomorrow?

Our offices are in the Topaz tower at La Défense.

- Tomorrow, Saturday? - Yes.

Unfortunately I have a very busy schedule.

11.30?

OK. 11.30.

- What was your name again? - Clément.

See you tomorrow, Mr. Duval.

Mr. Duval?

Follow me please.

Hello.

Your last job was at the agency

Verdon-Pernot, right?

Yes.

What did they say about Mr. Duval?

Was your reputation good?

What do you mean?

What did your colleagues and superiors think of you?

I think they considered me to be someone serious and punctual.

Why did you leave?

Because I had health issues.

And you're cured?

Yes.

Why haven't you worked since?

Did you live on the dole?

No, I simply couldn't find a job.

- The economic slump. - And on the politics side?

Are you left or right wing?

I don't vote. I'm not interested in politics.

You don't relate to the fate of our country?

You're not patriotic?

Yes.

Of course I am.

I did my military service.

I need to have people around me with a strong attachment to France.

I head a surveillance organisation which defends our country's interests.

Our mission is to observe certain people.

People who need protection

or who can be dangerous for France.

The job that I have for you consists in transcribing phone-tapped recordings.

I have a visual memory, so I need everything written down.

So, the taps must be transcribed in full as faithfully as possible.

I need someone highly rigorous who can type quickly.

I'm not who you're looking for. Look at my resume.

I've seen it.

Accounting demands rigor and precision.

That's what I'm looking for. Not just a typist.

I want to count on a man of experience with a strong work ethic.

As there'll be a lot to do.

Our activity requires

the greatest confidentiality.

However, very often,

technology goes against our objectives.

I distrust digital tech.

It makes data circulation too fluid and uncontrollable.

That's why I've always favoured paper and the typewriter.

Typing won't be a problem for you?

No.

The salary is 1,500 euros a week.

In exchange,

I shall expect impeccable work.

Mr. Duval,

in case of a problem

that you cannot solve on your own,

who do you ask for help?

Excuse me?

If you had a difficult decision to make,

who would you ask for advice around you?

I think I'd make the decision on my own.

FRANCE IS BACK

Philippe Chalamont, you say

the Mauritanian hostage situation lacks transparency.

Absolutely. And I'm not the only one to say so.

I'm worried about their families. My thoughts go to them three.

The government's silence is inadmissible.

Every morning, upon arrival, open the curtains.

In the evening, draw them. It's very important.

Your work schedule is 9 to 6. You're to conscientiously respect it.

Therefore no being late or overtime.

Don't leave during the day, even for lunch.

If you finish early with your transcripts,

you are to wait until 6 to leave.

Smoking in the flat is strictly forbidden.

Be very discreet as to your comings and goings.

Don't make any noise, don't stand out, open the door to no-one.

All the tapes will be numbered.

You are to copy their number in each transcript.

Staple them together and sort them in order in a single pile.

If you make mistakes or typos,

destroy the pages in the shredder.

- Do you have a mobile phone? - Yes.

Don't take it to work. Leave it at home.

OK.

One last point:

speak to no-one about your work.

All you do for me is confidential and must remain so.

Clear?

But if anyone asks you, you must answer.

You mustn't make them suspicious or curious.

What should I answer?

Something akin to what the person

pictures you doing.

Keep it short, and end your sentences with a full stop.

It should close the conversation.

If there's a problem, how do I contact you?

If you respect my instructions, there won't be any.

Hello.

- Hello, Philoména. - Hello, ma'am.

Take Quentin to tennis at 3.30...

pick him up at 5. Understood?

Yes, ma'am.

See you tonight, Philoména.

End.

Start the dinner without me.

- Can't you come? - No.

The editorial board is meeting in 5 minutes.

She did nothing wrong. We've all been through this.

We put Chalamont already 3 times in front page.

It's a bit too much.

He won't let his mistress rot at the Ministry.

He'll find her a job.

We have to come up with 2 solutions.

Ours and a 2nd option,

a very dark one.

Maybe. I'll see you tomorrow.

Are you new in the building?

Funny, we haven't met though we're both on the same floor.

I don't live here. Just passing through.

Was it you I heard typing this afternoon?

Writer?

Translator.

Hello.

You have to call the police.

- I don't want to. - You must file a complaint.

I don't even know his name.

Were you drinking a lot?

No...

No?

A little.

It's always like that.

I drink a little...

And that's it.

I brought him home. And it was fine.

We had a few more drinks.

We laughed a lot.

Then, he put the music on very loud.

I told him to turn it down. But he wouldn't.

Things got heated.

I told him to leave. He refused and got upset. So did I.

I threw a glass at him.

He knocked over the table.

Thank you. That's kind.

I have to go to work.

OK?

You won't say a word.

What do you want me to say?

I thought you'd lecture me.

No.

I'm here for you if you need me.

It's my role.

You'll get the speech

2 hours before the meeting. A scoop.

We're too close to the elections.

We need the swing voters.

Yes, we've approved the documents.

Their tax experts asked...

We spend our days analysing the polls

instead of reviving his campaign.

Three morning shows want him,

but I convinced him to do yours.

Nothing about the budget should come out this month.

You better use all your contacts.

Tell him to pick up his visa.

I won't move without a partner. No point taking the risk.

Mr. Al-Shamikh, you must go to this hearing.

I agree to pay the Treasury,

but I'll pay a "reasonable" sum.

- What does it say? - That we need a capital increase.

He was Party treasurer for 10 years. He won't be pleased.

OK?

Yes. I was waiting for you.

- It must have started. - I know.

But I just wanted to see you.

To thank you.

That's all.

Come to the meeting.

Is that an order?

Reminder: No smoking Be more discreet

Be reasonable, Mr. Al-Shamikh.

You're under investigation, so the Minister can't receive you.

Set this meeting up. I have things to tell him.

He knows your situation. What more is there?

I have information on the 3 French hostages in Mauritania.

What's it to do with you?

I led the discussions with the terrorists' representatives.

How so? You arrived 9 months ago. The hostages are still detained.

Mr. Labarthe,

I'm an industrious man.

I write down everything. In notebooks.

Many things would be of great interest

to your superiors.

Especially in an election campaign.

Show me the notebooks. I can come today.

Out of the question. It's the Minister I want to speak to.

Reminder: No smoking Be more discreet

Final reminder: No smoking

I don't understand your messages.

I respect

the instructions that you

Mr. Al-Shamikh, I asked the Foreign Office.

You were never involved in the hostage discussions.

I didn't work for them.

Did they say what they're hiding from the French press and people,

that they had no contact with the terrorists for more than 9 months?

They didn't, did they?

Mr. Labarthe, not everyone wants

the hostages to be freed.

There are opposing forces...

His Cabinet Director will see you.

It's the best you can hope for.

I want my lawyer present.

- I'll check if that's OK. - Wait.

Hello?

Hello?

I want my lawyer present.

- I'll check if that's OK. - Wait.

Hello?

Hello?

End.

FREE THE HOSTAGES! LET'S NOT FORGET THEM.

Gerfaut.

Duval.

So you're our new "scribe".

- Did you make some coffee? - Yes.

How are things?

- Is the typewriter OK? - Yes.

When you first met, Clément asked if you were right or left wing?

If you'd said you were a "commie", you wouldn't be here now.

I volunteer nights at the hospital.

That way, there's no danger, I can't do anything silly.

I work, I sleep, I go to the meetings...

and I drink lemonade.

Like I told you, you need a well-defined framework

and stick to it.

Can AA members go to a bar?

Does it fit in the "frame"?

I was never afraid of going into a bar.

I drank alone at home.

Is one necessarily alone in the "frame"?

I see you at meetings, but I know nothing about you,

not even your job.

It's of no interest.

There's something I don't get about you.

There's nothing to get, I assure you. I'm very simple.

I'm gonna buy cigarettes.

- Do you sell cigarettes? - Yes.

- Here's what I got. - OK.

- I have nothing smaller. - I'll get change.

Moftah Al-Shamikh and his wife found dead.

The Libyan businessman shot his wife...

...before killing himself. He was accused of tax fraud...

I have to go.

What's going on?

Nothing. Sorry. I have to go.

I want to speak to Mr. Clément, but he didn't give me his number.

That's normal.

He can't be in contact with all who work for him.

There's a hierarchy.

If you want to get him a message, you go through your superior, me.

Can you give him this?

No need to be so formal. You can tell me.

I'll pass the message on.

Just give him the letter, please.

What's in it?

Spit it out, my friend, or I'll open it.

I quit.

Clément chooses his men carefully, you know.

He inquires and makes a file on every one of them.

He chose you, 'cause you're made for this job.

No.

I want to stop.

Why?

I want to stop, that's all.

- I don't need to justify myself. - No, you must.

It'll look odd.

Look, today, we've got a lot of work.

I'll keep this. We'll discuss it later, calmly.

When?

Soon. Tomorrow if we have time.

But you and I have a problem.

The coffee you make me every morning tastes of piss!

Clément forbids smoking here.

Find me #6. I want to listen to it immediately.

I see the Minister at 11.30. What are the news?

The police won't find anything. They left no trace.

Major Labarthe, what's the link between Al-Shamikh and the hostages?

If he blocked negotiations, who missioned him?

Al-Shamikh wrote down all his dealings in notebooks.

He gave his lawyer files. I think the notebooks were part of them.

I want to check.

Keep me inf...

Give me the tape.

I'll give this to Clément. See you later.

What about the board?

We must explain the situation to them...

Let's get something to eat.

You wanted to talk to me.

It's on me.

- Clément won't take it well. - Why?

He's cautious.

He needs to be able to count on his people.

Taking off when you've just arrived will make him wary.

Excuse me.

Concentrate on the job.

Do it well. Do what I ask.

In a week, I give you my word,

I'll see Clément and sort it out.

Another one, please. Want some beer now?

No. A Coke please.

You don't drink?

Not anymore.

Bravo.

Willpower. I respect that.

How many of you work for Clément?

Good question.

We know each other.

But others work with us.

You'll never see them.

Clément...

is smart. He compartmentalises.

We each have a specific job.

No-one knows what the others are doing.

His network is set up so that if a link fails,

he knows it first.

I've known Clément

for ages.

The difference between us is, I'm a man of honour. He's not.

He'd sell his own mother. He uses people, throws 'em away

when he no longer needs them.

Let me tell you...

The real question is not: Who works for Clément?

But who does Clément work for?

It's a pyramid.

On each level is a guy licking the arse of the guy above him.

We're his stooges,

but he's someone's stooge.

He too does what he's told.

He thinks that he controls everything.

But one day someone's gonna kick his butt.

That'll come as a surprise.

Shit!

It's OK. I'm used to it.

What's with you? Give me the keys. I'm tired.

No way. We have to get the Lebanese guy's notebooks.

- That's his lawyer's office. - What?

It's OK, I already got it figured out.

There are no cameras, just an alarm.

We go in, get the notebooks, and clear out.

It'll take 10 minutes tops.

I won't do it.

It's not a discussion, it's an order.

You just have to keep watch.

No, I said I won't do it.

Don't move.

You do what I say!

You want to quit, I got it.

I gave you my word I'll fix it with Clément.

But you have responsibilities.

If you take off, we'll find you. You know that.

Lawyers work late!

The door.

They didn't turn on the alarm! Keep an eye on that.

If there's lights or a sound, tell me.

Gerfaut?

Turn off the lights.

Duval, the lights!

Hold his legs.

Wait.

Go to the door, I'll see to the safe.

Get out of my car!

Get out!

We got screwed.

There's nothing.

Duval,

go home, take a shower, and throw away these clothes.

Come to work as usual.

Look at me! Listen!

Nothing happened. If Clément asks, you were home alone all night.

You say nothing. Got it?

Do as I say or you'll be in danger.

Hello?

Hello?

Where are you?

Home.

Sorry to call so late. But I must see you immediately.

You mean right away?

Yes.

Is there a problem?

Not over the phone.

A car is waiting for you outside your building.

Come in.

Good evening.

Sit down.

Sorry to have disturbed you so late. I had to see you.

I need to clarify a few things.

Where is tape #6?

Excuse me?

This morning, we gave you 15 tapes. We only got 14 back tonight.

We're missing #6.

Yes, I gave it to Gerfaut.

He wanted you to listen to it right away.

I also gave him my transcript.

Did you give him others?

No.

Did you give him other transcripts?

- Is there a problem? - Answer me.

He was next to me. He read all the transcripts.

Do you remember the contents of #6?

You aren't in trouble.

You may speak freely.

Why did Gerfaut want me to listen to it?

I don't know.

I transcribe mechanically.

What was on it?

There were 2 men talking about an investigation

and finding some notebooks at a lawyer's office.

Gerfaut said he'd tell you about it.

When did you last see Gerfaut?

- Yesterday. - When?

He left around 4.

- You didn't see him after that? - No.

Where were you last night?

At home.

Follow me.

Get out.

I know where you were.

And Duval was with you.

No.

I work alone now. I don't need anyone.

You moron.

Think you're intelligent enough to plan an operation?

You can't even carry out orders.

Did you stop and think it could be a set-up?

It wasn't a set-up.

How can you be so sure?

I have the notebooks.

Everything went as planned. The notebooks were in the safe.

You had time to read and analyse all the documents?

You've always underestimated me.

Names, numbers, account numbers are easy to spot.

Even for a "moron" like me.

Especially when the names are known...

Where are the notebooks?

I know you.

I know what'll happen.

You know me,

I won't talk.

Wasn't I clear enough?

You were to take orders from me alone.

Gerfaut doesn't work for me, He played you.

He used to though.

But I tossed him out.

Those who do not know their own limits always end up causing problems.

It won't happen again.

What about you, Duval?

You know your limits, right?

Go back to work in 2 days as usual.

You're shocked by all these emotions.

But keep it to yourself.

Don't whine to your alcoholic friends.

Who do you work for, Mr. Duval?

I am unemployed.

Where were you last night?

At home.

Why was your vehicle parked next to Mr. Lombard's office last night?

I don't need to show you the video.

I didn't kill him. I never should have been there.

Hello, Mr. Duval. Major Labarthe.

You have no choice but to tell us everything you know.

We know this guy. A real spook CV.

But you, Mr. Duval,

are an office employee.

How did you get into it?

Who do you work for?

Answer.

His name is Clément.

I don't know him.

- He pays me to transcribe tapes. - First or last name?

- I don't know. - Is he French?

Did he recruit you?

He said he represented a surveillance firm.

You didn't try to find out more?

- I needed the job. - Today you're guilty of murder.

It wasn't me.

Where's Gerfaut?

I don't know.

You'll have to be more cooperative

and give me real information.

We went to the Topaz tower.

To the floor you told us.

The offices are empty.

They belonged to Aldoran which sold them to an investment fund.

There's no Clément there.

Whose phones were tapped?

Yours.

For how long?

2 or 3 weeks.

Who else in the Domestic Intelligence Service?

Nobody else, I think.

Give me all the other names.

- Journalists, businessmen... - Names!

I can't tell you. I don't listen.

You transcribe them, no?

That's not it.

It's mechanical.

Did you help kill Moftah Al-Shamikh?

No.

But your employers killed him.

Yes.

You want the notebooks too.

Those you couldn't find last night?

No need. We'd already visited Lombard's office.

Mr. Duval,

only one thing

can spare you 20 years in prison: Me.

As Heads of Operations, I can decide

to classify your file and identity.

But I need tangible information.

Or your file goes to the DA tomorrow. You'll end up in prison.

And for a very long time.

Hello?

Are you sure they aren't listening?

Rest assured, Mr. Duval, this line is secure.

You wanted to speak to me?

I know no more than you.

I don't see how I can help you.

I want to find Clément.

I want to know who he's working for.

Go back to your job, but from now on, you'll work for me.

What?

Give me copies of the tapes every evening.

That's impossible, it's too risky!

If I do anything unusual, they'll know. They watch me.

Be discreet.

Do what you normally do, it'll all be fine.

How long will I have to do this?

A few days. A week or two.

The time it takes to identify Clément.

How can I reach you if I've got a problem?

You can reach me at any time in case of emergency.

But everything will be fine.

You'll be protected at all times by my men.

How are you?

Why are you here?

Nothing, I was just worried.

You left in a hurry the other night, you don't answer your phone...

How do you know where I live?

What's the matter?

Answer me.

- How did you get my address? - I shouldn't have come.

- How did you get my address? - You're crazy...

From Albert!

Let me go.

Excuse me. I'm sorry.

Thank you.

What'll you do when you've finished it?

Will you put it in a frame ?

No.

I usually smoke a cigarette and look at it for a few minutes.

Then I put it back and buy another.

Well, I'll be going.

Stay a bit longer, please.

If I ask you how you got it,

you won't answer me, huh?

I'm in trouble.

Hello?

I'll put him on.

Hello.

Are you sure they aren't listening?

Rest assured, Mr. Duval, this line is secure.

- Yes, hello. - Put Labarthe on.

We'll call you back.

I don't have time. Find him. It's urgent.

I'll transfer you.

- Hello. - You must come for me.

They know everything.

What?

They recorded our last conversation.

That's impossible.

- I just heard it! - Calm down.

Calm down.

Nobody's heard the recording but you.

So?

Carry on as if nothing were amiss.

Continue the operation as planned.

They might be listening to us now!

Nothing'll happen to you today.

They don't listen to the tapes before you.

Go back to work.

- Mr. Duval. - No.

I won't go back up there.

Don't forget our arrangement.

What will it change for you?

What's the point of me doing it?

You're under our protection.

Where are the notebooks?

So?

He gave me just one order:

either you give me the notebooks or I take you there.

I don't have the notebooks. He knows it. I told him so.

You look like a nice little clerk.

But you're a good liar.

Didn't you see the cameras?

Well done, man.

Know what that means if we don't put a hood on you?

Mister, are you OK?

We'll take care of him.

You OK?

Not too banged up?

Was Clément in the car?

You gave the photos to the newspaper?

Yes.

Know where they were taking you?

No.

Come on. We'll get you examined by a doctor.

No.

I can't let you go. You know that.

And you need me.

No.

They think you have the notebooks.

They'll be back.

Stay home.

They took her to get to you. They'll contact you.

You must be patient.

Mr. De Grugy is out. Care to leave a message?

No, I must talk to him. It's urgent.

We had a meeting. I can't reach him on his phone.

Company Club For growth

FRANCE IS BACK

Why are you here?

I wanted to thank you.

This isn't the time. I'm very busy.

Why mention me to him?

I saw you were in deep shit.

I know you're a good guy. So I gave him your name.

I just wanted to help you.

It looks like I shouldn't have.

- Do you work for him? - No.

I know him a bit.

I ran into him at meetings and on trips.

He works for Chalamont?

Call him.

- I beg your pardon? - You heard.

Tell Clément you need to see him urgently.

No.

350 guests are coming soon, so kindly leave.

Call him.

I'm busy.

Go home and have a drink. It'll calm your nerves.

Call him.

Call him yourself.

Do you have the notebooks?

- Have you localized Clément? - Yes.

No notebooks. I didn't find them.

Al-Shamikh lied to us.

Mr. Duval, without our help, you won't make it out alive.

Hello.

It's Duval. I have the notebooks.

Let her go.

We'll call you with instructions.

I want two sharpshooters with a clear view up on top.

I'll need a radio link. I want to meet them alone.

I'll say "approach" to make the arrest.

Or if things go downhill, I'll say "engage" to start firing.

Parking lot - 1

What did you do to her?

We're not thugs.

She just spent the day in the trunk.

I don't have the notebooks,

but I'll take you to them.

That remains to be seen.

I'm not sure I still trust you, Duval.

Philippe Chalamont.

You didn't want the hostages released before the elections...

I want to know who has the notebooks.

I won't stay in the dark. Tell me who I'm meeting.

- Domestic Intelligence Service. - Who exactly?

Labarthe.

Let's go.

There's nothing but weakness in traitors.

I thought you were more consistent.

Less flimsy.

Less hollow.

'Evening, Major Labarthe.

'Evening.

You won't give me the notebooks?

No.

I want you to come with me.

My men are positioned all around.

Nothing more constructive to offer?

What am I accused of?

Killing Al-Shamikh and his wife,

illegal phone taps, among other things.

Approach.

"Illegal"?

You think Domestic Intelligence Service can be tapped by people from outside?

Turn off your mic, please.

Let me speak to you.

Step back.

Have your men back off.

What is it?

Your future.

In the "Service", as you know as well as me,

progress is made not only on merit.

One rises through the ranks by building up cases.

When you have intelligence,

and you have a lot, Labarthe, in the circumstances,

it's better to keep it.

With each change of government,

there's no point replacing the top elements.

You don't deserve to gamble your career on the election results.

How did you bypass our negotiations with the terrorists?

It wasn't to stop the hostages' release.

Just to postpone it.

Anyway, no matter what intelligence you give your Minister,

there's too big a gap in the polls for the trends to be reversed.

Chalamont will win.

Then what?

I'll contact you and we'll discuss your place in the organization.

We'll surely find you a suitable position.

What you know is priceless.

You'll profit well from it.

Duval stays with me.

As far as I know, he still works for me.

Engage!

What happened?

They were going to kill us.

We had no choice.

Take him away.

Get his statement for my report.

We are at the airbase where the families of the hostages...

The airplane with the three engineers should land at 11.

The end of a long wait.

President Chalamont should be there to welcome our three compatriots.

It's the president's first victory only two weeks after his election.

I want to express our joy and what this happy outcome means for France.

My thoughts are with the families

who were so admirable throughout this ordeal...
