You have a mission. In Germany.
It's about a Russian space project.
I'm not a spy.
I build rockets.
It's an opportunity to go to space.
Who's Virgile?
A field guardian.
What do I tell Anne?
-Lie to her. -Where are you going?
-London. -I'm pregnant.
I don't want to keep it.
-Your target. -Professor Goloubev?
Code name Radagast.
A great Soviet physicist.
The space center is hiring.
We need to know if he's giving information to the Americans.
The space center is hiring.
So, you're going to get that job.
-Reason for your visit? -A scientific conference.
How did you sleep?
That was the Stasi,
the East German KGB.
-Who was that guy? -I don't know.
Don't live in fear. You have a mission.
Meet Radagast and I'll tell you when to tell him about the orbital bomb.
Radagast is only here three days, so it'll happen fast.
Don't trust anyone.
EAST BERLIN CONFERENCE CENTER
Good day, sir.
Some information about today's conferences.
At 10 a.m., scope of power debate hosted by Van Hammer.
There's also a movie about Vostok 6 with Valentina Tereshkova.
At 11 a.m., you'll speak at the same time as a debate about galaxies.
Where's the guy from the KGB?
I don't know.
Make sure I always have water on my desk.
I'll be right back.
Yes?
Hello, Professor.
I saw all your staff,
but not Ludwig Reinhard.
He's not here?
He's missing. Apparently, he went to the West side.
Perhaps to Paris.
Now I understand why the KGB is watching me.
Dear guests,
please welcome
Professor Boris Goloubev.
Ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues...
In the navigational system
of our Vostok and Voskhod spacecrafts,
we use mechanical components
making data calculations easier for cosmonauts,
as much as an electrical assembly...
Thank you and goodbye.
Wonderful presentation, Professor.
Francis Mareuil, I work at the CNES in France.
I've admired your work for a long time. I'm quoting you in my thesis on...
It is forbidden to speak to Professor Goloubev.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
Your clothes, please.
I'm here to see Jacqueline.
Jacqueline, yes.
Clothes off.
I'm not here for that, I just need to speak to Jacqueline.
Yes, Jacqueline. Clothes off.
Will Jacqueline come?
Yes.
Our conclusions contradict
what American researchers are stating regarding cold traps.
According to them,
these cold traps are craters
that are in permanent shade...
What did that guy want?
To introduce himself. But the Stasi stopped him.
He's a French engineer.
Before his conference, my dad spoke to Hermann Dietrich
about a scientist who fled to France...
Ludwig Reinhard.
Are you watching my father because of him?
Go speak to him. Find out what he wanted.
I'm intrigued by that French guy.
But how? Just like that?
However you want.
A woman like you can get any man to talk.
Who do you think I am?
Is your hand better?
Now go.
You can find our data in an upcoming article.
I'm also available to speak about it.
Thank you for your attention.
Hello.
I work with Professor Goloubev.
You were interrupted when you tried to speak to him.
No, I just wanted to congratulate him.
If you want, I can give him a message.
No. I'm sorry... Forgive me.
Excuse me.
That's all right, thank you.
Sorry.
Excuse me.
Turn on the water, let it run.
Did you speak to him?
The Stasi stopped me.
Due to Requiem's defection.
What did the girl want?
She works with him.
-She can get us an appointment. -No, no.
You can't do that officially.
The Stasi has eyes and ears everywhere.
Let's go back to the hotel and study his whereabouts. We'll find a way in.
Stay here for a minute before leaving.
But there's Sergei Lebedev's talk about
calculating trajectories for lunar expeditions.
They have eight kiloflop electronic calculators.
I need to blend in, don't I?
Yeah.
Your speech was fascinating, Professor.
But you lied.
What do you mean?
Your on-board computers can handle more variables than you claim...
A computer can control several stabilizers,
which multiplies possibilities without overloading.
The algorithm you presented is a gross estimation.
Do you expect me to reveal my research openly?
If you inspire some people, they might return the favor.
You come from Paris, right? Does the name Ludwig Reinhard ring a bell?
Requiem, yes.
He's in West Germany.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
the director of the Institute for Mechanics
and Informatics of Moscow, Professor Sergei Lebedev.
We need to take care of it.
Now.
Looking at our models,
when it comes to the lunar atmosphere,
we discovered that on the moon,
as well as on Earth,
all cold materials
come from volatile substances.
On the surface of the moon, 0.1 square inch
releases a volume of 220 pounds of H2O,
eleven pounds of CO2,
and eight ounces of N2.
Ralf Meyer, Stasi...
Mr. Mareuil?
These numbers
seem to match
the thermal records of the moon.
The components
were basically heated
by a radioactive element.
Jacqueline?
Did Mireille send you?
-Can I put my clothes back on? -Lie down.
Lie down.
Maybe you're here to cause trouble.
I assure you I'm not.
Your body won't lie.
I'm not pregnant.
My niece is. She's only 19. I'd like to talk to you about...
How it works.
She's in her 11th week, it's urgent.
She'll do it.
But it'll cost 2,000 francs.
-I don't have that much. -I know.
I can sell my medal.
And say I've lost it.
That won't be enough.
One of my men saw you speaking with Professor Goloubev.
Tell me about Ludwig Reinhard.
He overheard the name "Ludwig Reinhard".
He's a German mathematician.
I know he worked with Professor Goloubev. I read one of their articles.
I obviously know less about him than you do.
You spoke to Professor Goloubev.
You followed him into the bathroom to talk about his speech.
I didn't follow him, I was already there.
But you knew it was forbidden to speak to him.
We need him to be released.
Released?
He approached Goloubev and they talked about Reinhard.
Are you against the KGB?
Is he your spy?
An informer?
Don't disrupt our investigation.
Look...
If you want, I'll call my boss so he can speak to yours.
He's hiding something, I can feel it.
And I won't stop digging.
PARIS LATIN QUARTER
BANK
WITHDRAWAL BOND
Two thousand francs.
My husband hurt his wrist playing tennis, he signed it with his left hand.
For such a large amount, Mr. Mareuil must be here.
It's not usually an issue.
Yes, but this time, the amount is much bigger.
I see.
I could make an exception and call him.
No! No, he's on a trip.
Then it would be best if he could stop by when he's back.
Have a nice day, Mrs. Mareuil.
Excuse me.
How long have you been handling our account?
About ten years.
Who do you think manages it?
Who comes in most often, him or me?
Mrs. Mareuil, that's irrelevant.
I'd like an account closure form.
Mrs. Mareuil...
Don't worry, Mr. Mareuil will stop by to give it you.
I assume that's the rule?
Please wait.
I'll go to the safe.
Do you have a lighter, please?
Four Albrecht-Dürer Street.
Thanks.
ALBRECHT DÜRER STREET
Come...
Come!
Over here.
Come, my babies.
There, my boy, something to eat.
Some for you too, my girl, yes.
Hello.
Let's go.
Have you seen this man?
Brown hair, blue coat.
Yes, I've seen him.
I'll show you where he went.
Follow me.
He went that way and climbed the wall.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Here. Go to this restaurant.
RESTAURANT 66
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Did they keep you all night?
They asked me about Requiem and Radagast.
I told them what I'm meant to know.
Which is?
Their discoveries, mathematics.
Guidance systems.
Thanks.
Menu?
Nothing about the orbital bomb, the SDECE or the CIA, I hope?
Did they have intel on you?
Your wife, your son?
No.
They didn't mention that.
What did you expect? That I'd rat you out?
-Thanks. -Two beers.
There you go.
Thanks.
Did you meet Mrs. Muller and her pigs?
If they'd kept me, would you have left me there?
Yes.
Eat up.
You were useful to us because the East didn't know about you.
Now that they've arrested you, they'll have your record.
It's getting too dangerous.
We'll leave Berlin.
And Radagast?
These are our orders.
Your safety and the mission come first.
If you give the Stasi another reason
to arrest you, you'll never leave this country.
You'll talk and ruin everything.
They're looking for me. I just lost them.
They saw you running and hiding, right?
You're just a regular guy.
You're scared of them.
Go back to the hotel and pack.
Don't leave your room. We leave in the morning.
Now eat your currywurst, you haven't eaten since yesterday.
Did you feel the adrenaline
when you lost them?
Coming!
Good evening.
I'm sorry to bother you, I heard the Stasi arrested you because of my father.
Your father?
Professor Goloubev.
My name is Lyudmila.
Francis Mareuil.
Where I'm from, it's bad luck to shake hands at the door.
I just left a party for the Soviet delegation. Would you like to take a walk?
I never have the chance to speak French. I'd love to go to France.
My mother was from Manosque, do you know it?
The Stasi is watching me.
We're not doing anything wrong.
My father and I are leaving tomorrow night.
So I thought it was now or never.
Have you ever met Russians?
Yes, Mrs. Yukov.
She was my piano teacher when I was ten.
Do you still play?
I was rather bad at it.
When I stopped, the neighbors sent chocolates as a thank you.
Sometimes I dream about going to the other side.
And living in France.
What does this say?
Peter Fechter died here.
This young German tried climbing the Wall and got shot.
He fell into the neutral zone.
But the West was too scared to step in and get shot.
As was the East.
He wanted to be with his sister.
Do you have a family?
I'm married, I have a son.
Hey, you!
Don't stay here!
Get away!
Go away!
And do you have a family?
My father is my only family.
But he'd sacrifice everything for his passion,
space, the missions, and the moon.
He's a man of convictions, a true genius.
I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't admire him.
If you want to speak to him again, I can help you.
The Stasi won't allow it.
There's another way.
What do you mean?
Every morning,
at eight, he dictates letters to me in my room.
And it's just me and him.
Does the Stasi know about this?
I think so. They watch his hallway, but no one comes with him.
Where were you?
I found a way to see Radagast.
Through his daughter.
Are you sure she's his daughter?
-Lyudmila, the pianist? -I'm sure of it.
Tomorrow morning, they'll be alone without surveillance.
He walks alone from his floor to hers.
-Did she come to you? -Yes.
Did Radagast send her?
I don't think so, no.
Then why is she helping you?
They're alone.
The room might be tapped.
-I'll turn on the radio. -Yes.
We leave tomorrow morning.
Radagast is here and within reach tomorrow.
He goes to Moscow tomorrow. This could be our last chance.
Any news?
Tomorrow at 8 a.m. Here.
And then?
They'll talk about work.
Maybe even the German deserter.
We get in and arrest them.
And you go back to your piano.
What's all this?
Professor, we don't have much time.
Do you know how your research is being used?
These are Russian documents. They mention your work several times.
Ludwig Reinhard authenticated them all.
-Aren't you a scientist? -I am.
I build rockets, just like you.
In France.
The USSR has an orbital project capable
of avoiding all defense systems, with a five megaton nuclear warhead.
And they're using your guidance system.
That's impossible. These are fake.
Look at the references and dates.
Aren't they correct?
Goloubev left his room eight minutes ago.
He's not with Lyudmila yet.
And the French guy?
He left his room ten minutes ago.
There's an issue with the elevator.
We put a mic in there.
The sound is muffled.
I have no information about this orbital bomb.
Can you get access to it?
Are you asking me to steal? I refuse to betray my country.
Can't you do anything?
Using this control box,
I can control
and call the elevators.
Then what are you waiting for?
My colleague's security key.
Where is he?
He's coming, in the other elevator.
We just want to keep the peace, Professor.
You spent two years in the Gulag for being a pacifist.
That was 20 years ago. Today, we're merely
responding to American provocations. Restart the elevator.
Look, think about Cuba. About what happened.
We were this close to World War III.
-What do you want? -For you to realize what's happening.
-Then what? -To keep talking once
you're back in Moscow.
To evaluate how big this threat is and to prevent the worst.
Have a look and read them.
I swear these documents are authentic.
This bomb isn't a project, it's already in orbit.
That's impossible, I'd know about it.
NASA has followed its trajectory since it was launched. It's real.
You're working for the Americans!
Look, we can protect you. If it's about money, name your price.
You're trying to bribe me.
The CIA sent you!
We have to go.
It's fixed.
What happened?
The French guy who spoke to me is a spy.
Did you see him again?
He told me there was a nuclear bomb in orbit.
If he's right, the world has gone mad.
He asked me to spy on my country.
But that's out of the question.
-Will you speak to the KGB? -No.
We can't tell them anything.
What you're feeling is a speculum.
I'm inserting it slowly. Relax.
If your heart is beating fast, it's normal.
-Are you okay? -Yes.
Now I'm going to open your cervix.
Gently.
Try and relax.
Now the idea
is a very slow
suction.
It'll be a bit sore.
But it's very quick.
It's infected. What did you do?
I'm sorry.
Who did this?
I didn't think you'd get the money so I used a hanger.
-She didn't tell you? -No.
I can't go to the hospital.
We don't have a choice. If we don't go, you could die.
Get up.
Where did you park?
At the end of the street.
Let's go.
It'll be fine, get up.
Mrs. Mareuil.
Is there a problem?
-Martine, follow us. -But who are you?
-Who are you? -Friends.
Open the back door, please.
Watch your head.
Hold her, hold her.
Start the car.
I'm here, it's going to be okay.
Let's go.
We're taking you to the hospital.
-I've fucked up. -What the hell?
Has the bomb been launched?
That's why Radagast is so important.
We need to do something.
You'll go back to your family and live your life.
Is there really a bomb up there?
It's no longer your concern.
What did they talk about?
An orbital bomb. But my father didn't say anything.
He didn't know anything.
What if he isn't a traitor?
They talked.
He spoke, my father only listened.
They won't stop here.
How long do I have to keep on doing this?
As long as we need you to.
The Stasi is looking for you everywhere.
Did you come back for my dad?
We're facing a nuclear war.
But your father doesn't believe us.
EXHIBITION CLOSED
Did he talk to the KGB about what happened?
No.
What's keeping you
from going to France?
You know what it is.
I can help you.
You...
Could you help me cross the Wall?
Not me, but the SDECE can. Like with Ludwig Reinhard.
I'm not a scientist.
You can be the link between us and your father.
But it's risky.
I can help you.
Do you have a phone number in Moscow?
In my apartment, there's a communal phone.
Seventy Lambnozosky Prospect, 0567.
I'll call you Wednesday at 10 p.m.
Do you swear you'll help me?
The French guy!
Don't shoot!
It's locked!
Four Albrecht-Dürer Street.
WEST BERLIN CHECKPOINT CHARLIE
You okay?
I'm fine.
It's in your blood, just like your father.
I went back to see Radagast's daughter.
Virgile told me. But he doesn't trust her.
He didn't talk to her. I did.
What does she want?
To cross the Wall.
She's expecting my call tonight.
Do you think we can trust her?
She's taking all the risks.
We need to find her a code name.
What does she look like?
A Russian.
Matryoshka?
Moon.
Moon?
Why not?
Luna.
Perfect.
-Hello? -Is that you?
Yes, it's me.
Did you get home safely?
"Did you get home safely?"
Fine, thanks.
"Fine, thanks."
There wasn't any trouble?
"There wasn't any trouble?"
No, I don't matter.
"No, I don't matter."
NEXT EPISODE
I lost control of the probe.
It's spinning like crazy!
If I had important information for you,
could you help me cross the Wall immediately?
We can't work with her.
Are you giving up on me?
It crashed here, in Algeria.
Spying is punished by death or life imprisonment.
Trust me, you'd choose death.
Jump, your parachute will open automatically.
