Don't trust anyone. Meet Radagast.
Tell him about the orbital bomb.
Your speech was fascinating.
I'm intrigued by that French guy.
Go speak to him.
You're watching my dad?
These abortions are done in awful conditions.
Who are you?
Friends. We're going to the hospital.
This bomb isn't a project, it's already in orbit.
Can you get access to it?
He's a spy.
He asked me to spy on my country.
We're facing a nuclear war.
I want to help you.
-What does she want? -To cross the Wall.
-She needs a code name. -Luna.
MOSCOW OFFICE OF SPATIAL STUDIES NO. 1
Motor separation successful.
Phase two underway.
The probe's trajectory is correct.
What's this interference?
Something's interfering.
I lost control.
-That's impossible. -It's disrupting everything.
It's out of control.
Switch it off.
Reinitialize.
It's not responding.
The probe's off course.
-Should we destroy it? -Never!
-We have to. -That's not protocol.
Those are Bakharin's orders.
Bakharin ordered this launch.
He postponed it to coincide with the army's plans.
I won't waste three years of work.
-Pavel, destroy it. -No!
Boris!
-You're not boss! -I'll do it!
-Pavel! -Stop!
It's lost in the atmosphere.
We'll get the signal back soon.
-Why would you destroy it? -Boris!
Lock the door.
Boris, destroy it.
Open the door!
Boris!
Open the door immediately. Goloubev!
The probe must be destroyed!
The parachute.
Boris, do you hear me?
Open the goddamn door!
Goloubev, open the door!
Boris!
Boris, open!
Smash down the door.
Where is it?
Where did it land?
MOSCOW FRUNZENSKAYA DISTRICT
Enough, Boris. Tell us where the probe is.
No, I won't let your soldiers get it before me.
I promise they'll bring it back intact.
I want to retrieve the data myself.
It took months of work.
Give me the coordinates.
I want to go there myself!
Boris!
You're talking nonsense.
You disobeyed me.
So Pavel will go.
No.
-Send one of my assistants. -No.
Fine, then a scientist who doesn't know
about your secret project of an orbital bomb!
Now I understand why you postponed the launch.
You wanted it to meet the course of the orbital bomb.
That's what caused the interference.
The orbital bomb sent it a message.
Which is why we lost control of the probe.
You installed a transmitter
and hid it from me.
What's the message
you don't want me to discover?
Let's be honest.
You wanted to destroy the probe
so the message wouldn't fall into the wrong hands.
You're retiring after the Voshkod project, right?
Yes.
It might happen sooner than expected.
Tomorrow, I want the coordinates of where the probe fell.
And that's an order!
Major!
Keep an eye on him.
Yes, sir!
If I had crucial information to you give you,
would you help me cross the Wall?
Something very important.
Francis?
Don't promise anything, okay?
Hello?
Francis?
Your information will buy us time, but nothing is decided.
Last time, you mentioned Gorky Park.
That's it, I'm done spying on my dad for you.
You've been asking me about him for weeks
and you haven't given me anything in return.
Look, calm down, Lyudmila. Be patient.
What is this crucial information you mentioned?
Lyudmila?
I... I don't know if I should...
Can you promise...
What are you doing?
I heard a noise. The line isn't safe.
Hello?
Hello!
We need to call her back.
Not on this line.
She was about to give us information.
If the KGB was listening, she'd be in danger.
-We need to warn her. -We'll find a way.
And the protocol?
Francis, it's not a rocket launch we need to follow step-by-step.
She may be bluffing.
I warned you to avoid using her.
If the line's bugged, we're screwed.
She's compromised. We need to stop our collaboration.
We need a new strategy to get to Radagast.
They won't call back.
PARIS LATIN QUARTER
Did they have to remove my appendix?
I don't know, but you can thank them.
No one will ask questions.
Now, make sure to take your medication.
Who were those two men?
I called.
No one knows.
As if they never existed.
Coincidence, perhaps?
They knew both of our names.
What are you going to do?
If I had crucial information to give you,
would you help me cross the Wall?
Be patient.
If the KGB was listening, she'd be in danger.
Do you know what time it is? What do you want?
Lyudmila.
Lyudmila Goloubeva, please.
What?
Lyudmila.
Hello?
It's me.
What happened?
Wait a minute.
I wanted to warn you.
Someone was listening.
The SDECE has decided to end our communication.
Are you giving up on me?
Not me.
Give me the information you mentioned.
My dad wants to go to Algeria.
What do you mean?
A probe was launched.
It communicated with the orbital bomb.
It crash-landed in Algeria.
The army is against my dad going.
-Is there a chance he'll still go? -I don't know.
Would you go with him?
Maybe.
This could be the chance for me to bring you to France.
Hang up!
Or I'll report you.
I'll try.
How did you do this?
Engineering is a dangerous job.
Did a doctor stitch you up?
Yes.
We're in for a treat today.
Does the lady need anything?
My father is under house arrest.
General Bakharin refused to send him to find a probe
that communicated with the orbital bomb.
You dad knows its content?
No, but General Bakharin wants to destroy any trace of the communication.
PARIS SDECE OFFICES
We knew Radagast sent a probe.
It launched two days ago, but it didn't land in the USSR.
It crashed in Algeria.
I don't know the location, but it's in this desert.
They'll do anything to retrieve it.
Radagast will likely go.
How did you get this information?
At the CNES.
You knew where to look?
No, but...
I regularly check the radar reports.
All radar reports at CNES?
Even with an entire SDECE department listening to radars,
that would have taken weeks.
Yeah.
That's true, I got lucky.
Lucky?
You called her.
Damn, do you realize what you've done?
We can't just abandon her.
Yes, we can.
And we should have.
So, what else did she tell you?
Yuri?
Did you tell them everything?
What was I supposed to do?
They'll take us to the probe, like you wanted.
"Us"?
Your daughter is coming. It's safer.
Is the army hiding something in the probe?
I'm sure of it.
Does it have to do with the orbital bomb?
You alone know where the probe crashed.
You need to tell us.
Or we'll force you.
If Bakharin wants there to be no trace of the transmission,
it means it might jeopardize him.
Your goal is to find the probe
and the message it intercepted, then blow it up.
This will help us take down Bakharin and all his supporters.
What about them?
Get rid of them.
I'd rather see Goloubev die in the East
than alive in the West.
PARIS LATIN QUARTER
-Mom! -Hello.
-Francis is not here?
Mr. Mareuil went out again. It was an emergency.
He left a note. Look, Mom.
He called to cancel your reservation.
Sit down, honey, eat up.
Takeoff clearance in ten minutes.
Thank you.
Takeoff in ten minutes.
First time?
Listen up.
You entered East Berlin as yourself. That protected you.
Now we're entering illegally.
Spying means the death penalty or a life sentence.
Trust me,
a death sentence is better.
If I say jump, you jump. If I say run, you run.
If I say don't move...
-I don't move. -…you don't move.
It'll be fine.
Here.
The Russian plane lands in an hour.
I had someone follow them to ensure you'll speak to Radagast and Luna.
We need the probe's coordinates
so we'll find it before the KGB.
We need to find the link to the bomb.
But Algeria is collaborating with the Russians.
Unlike you, they'll be free to move. Clear?
Is your shoulder okay?
This is the heart button.
Where the soul resides.
If anything happens to you, it'll be easier for you to escape.
It's a just good-luck tradition.
When you jump, the parachute will open. Let it carry you.
As you reach the ground, bend your knees. Got it?
Okay, carabiner.
All right, go!
Go!
ALGERIA ATLAS MOUNTAINS
And the Russians?
They landed in Laghouat. There's one road, it goes southwest.
They'll spend the night in Alkusuf.
-Alkusuf? -Yes, it's a Bedouin camp.
A gateway to the desert.
Virgile?
The Algerian army.
They spotted our parachutes.
I'll leave the road so they can't track us.
PARIS SAINT-FRANÇOIS HOSPITAL
-Hello. -Hello.
Another appointment in a month, is that right?
Yes?
-Mrs. Duchamp? -Yes, hello.
Hello, I called you about Martine Archambeau.
The appendicitis?
Yes. You didn't tell me who paid the bill.
Are you her mother?
No, I'm her aunt.
You need to discuss it with her parents, sorry.
Have a nice day.
You too. Goodbye.
POST-SURGERY SUPERVISION
Hello, do you speak French?
Yes, hello.
I'm sorry, I'm confused. What number is this?
This is the United States Embassy.
ALGERIA ALKUSUF, GATEWAY TO THE DESERT
Are you back to spy on me?
They did this to me.
Yuri?
They started asking you to spy on me in Berlin.
They want to frame you for treason.
Do you know the consequences of your actions?
I had no choice.
The space program,
the army,
me.
We were supported by Khrushchev.
But he's gone.
This orbital bomb is the opportunity for Brezhnev and the KGB
to do some cleaning up. Starting with General Bakharin.
If we go back to Moscow,
nothing will be the same.
Algerian soldiers.
Shit!
They were faster than us.
Abort. Let's go back to the car.
What?
They saw us landing here and are looking for us.
-Radagast and Luna are right there. -If I say abort, we abort.
Let's go.
Stop!
-Whose parachute is this? -Where are they?
-I don't know.
Traitor!
You better talk.
Shit!
Francis?
Lyudmila?
Francis?
Yes.
I want to go with you.
That's why I'm here.
Do you have the coordinates of the probe?
My dad has them. Take me with you.
It's too soon.
Can you make your dad follow us?
He'll never leave his country.
Is everything okay?
Yes, thanks.
We look for the French.
Did Contignet tell you to go no matter what?
Next screw-up, I'll leave you behind. Got it?
Vassili will sleep here.
I'll stay in your father's tent.
Radagast and Luna are here.
Let's follow them. Get in!
Is it here?
Somewhere in a 0.3-mile radius.
We can see better from up there.
Stay here and keep watch.
Over there!
-Is the destruction system intact? -Yes.
We just need to connect the detonator.
Don't move until we see the fourth guy.
Anything?
What am I looking for?
So I'll rule things out.
Inspect everything, every element,
and note down the scientific data.
Do that afterward. You'll have time before I blow it up.
First, find the communication module.
Boris.
-Did you find anything? -No, nothing.
They're going to blow it up.
Is that what they're looking for?
See that?
It's the radio that received the information from the orbital bomb.
The numbers are the result.
What do they mean?
The KGB needs the numbers
in my watch.
They are what will keep us alive.
If I'd kept any contact with you,
you wouldn't have turned against me.
I know how to send machines around the Earth.
I can photograph the dark side of the moon,
but I can't take care of a child.
We need to get those pictures.
Wait.
We can't see the other Russian. It's too dangerous.
Luna will get the pictures. She wants to help us.
There's a hidden car down there.
We're not alone here.
We can't wait any longer.
Lyudmila!
Come here.
Did your father find anything?
No.
Did he check everywhere?
Yes, he doesn't know. Everything looks normal.
All right, go help him.
Dad, run, fast!
NEXT EPISODE
The army is here. He's losing too much blood.
The bomb sent a message to the probe.
The army is hiding something.
-Think about it. -What do you want?
What are the numbers for?
Coordinates.
You tortured her?
Don't screw this up.
-Let's go! -She tricked me.
