The Bureau

Chased by the DGSE and the CIA all the way to Moscow, Malotru tries to negotiate his return to France. The DGSE’s new head of Internal Security, JJA, initiates a full-spectrum audit of The Bureau and its new chief Marie-Jeanne, with the clear-cut intention of severing a few heads in the process.

Dumped by the DGSE, Malotru comes out of hiding and is quickly located by the Russian secret services. Meanwhile, Marina, working undercover at a Russian research centre, begins to navigate the underside of the hacking culture.

Arrested for Espionage by the Russian secret services, Malotru is tossed aside and left to the mercy of other inmates. Back in France, the DGSE is striving to understand his motives before making a move.

While under intense pressure from the FSB to cooperate, Malotru is considering how to approach a cyber operations officer. Back in France, Marie-Jeanne seeks Mag’s advice, only to find out that JJA had coerced him to resign and that she could very well be next.

Just as Karlov is beginning to lose patience, Malotru suggests recruiting Ellenstein. Back at the DGSE, Marie-Jeanne is monitoring a cyberattack, hoping to track down the person responsible for hacking Marina’s phone.

Under Karlov’s watchful gaze, Malotru initiates Ellenstein’s recruitment. At the DGSE, Sisteron suspects that Cesar is not ready to go on a mission and will not be able to hold his legend undercover…

In Moscow, Malotru welcomes César, who has taken Ellenstein’s identity. Their meeting is taped and scrutinised by both Karlov and a psychologist, who try to discern the truth. Ultimately, JJA detects a flaw in Cesar’s cover and warns the Bureau.

Karlov asks Malotru to join the FSB in Moscow. In Paris, Sisteron and the entire Bureau must answer to an inquiry questionnaire on Marie-Jeanne, which JJA intends to use against her during the next board meeting.

Sisteron warns Marina that her cover has been blown, but that her arrest could help on another crucial assignment. He leaves her at the border to face this impossible choice. Meanwhile, Malotru parts ways with Samara and comes back to France, where he is to be held in solitary confinement.

In Ukraine, Malotru arrives at the exchange location to get Marina. But on the way back, their convoy deviates from the route initially agreed upon by the DGSE, forcing him to warn Sisteron. Back in Paris, Marie-Jeanne quickly understands that Malotru’s life is at stake and confronts JJA and Ponte.
