Who are you?
We are Citadel.
PREVIOUSLY ON
Join us and we'll get the people who killed your parents.
We've made a discovery that requires an immediate mission.
Your targets will be other Manticore agents.
Do not intervene, under any circumstances.
-"Do not intervene, " fuck! -Luca.
-Calm down. -It's the only way.
I've got the French half of the weapon and a plan to resurrect Manticore Italy.
The French half of the weapon.
And the other half?
The German guy has it. He escaped.
It's Citadel technology.
How do you know?
They said they'd been working on it for eight years.
They rebuilt the weapon from the destroyed remains.
You're risking a lot by being here.
It's now or never. I know what I'm doing.
What happened to 3-0-1?
You're very reassuring, I must say.
I know we operatives can't ask questions, just execute orders.
But I was there eight years ago, and you know it.
They punished us for keeping Citadel's technology to ourselves,
and now they're doing the same.
Now we have an opportunity to hit back.
I'm meeting the German agent tomorrow.
Germany wants to buy the French half
without Manticore France knowing.
Imagine if they found out.
-You want to turn them against each other? -Yes. It won't take much.
France expected a swap,
but they ended up with a dead agent and empty hands.
And what makes you think I'm on your side?
You've already betrayed Manticore Italy just by being here.
I can give you what you've always wanted.
The chance to start over.
Resurrect Manticore Italy.
Mr. Zani.
Why didn't you take it to my father?
Because your father doesn't want a revolution.
He's good with the status quo.
And what's good for you? What do you want?
I want my life back.
-You want to leave the agency? -Yes.
Manticore is not like I was told
when they recruited me.
I thought we would stand against corrupt governments and hidden forces
that exploit people's lives.
Instead, I sell weapons to mobsters. I don't want to do it anymore.
I can't do it anymore.
Special Agent 3-0-8.

Collateral victims of Special Operation 011
on March 24, 2017.
Flight OT9732, brought down.
-You still haven't said yes. -Let's see if it's worth it.
I promised I wouldn't download data.
I can do it without leaving a trace.
UPLOADING UNIT
DECRYPTED
You chose to come to me.
Now you have to trust me.
Updates are arriving from Rome,
where majority leaders,
led by the Prime Minister,
met to discuss the law on liberalizing weapons,
which should be brought to Parliament in the coming days.
The meeting started in the late afternoon
and is still going on at this late hour of the night.
-It's a clear sign... -Hi.
...on the subject.
From what we've learned...
-Everything okay? -Yes.
-You've eaten. -It's 11:00 p. m.
-I had a business dinner... -You could have told me.
You're always busy, you never tell me shit.
There's always more important stuff.
Did you come to fight about the same old fucking story?
Whatever. Besides, I need to go.
-What? -I have to catch a flight for a deal.
-Now? -Yes. Now.
Now.
-What are you doing? -Take me to the station, I'm going home.
Get a grip. You work in finance, you're not saving the world!
System anomaly.
SYSTEM ANOMALY
Motherfuckers.
Sorry, next time...
Don't make promises you can't keep.
Fine.
I'll come see you soon. So we can talk about the house.
I know that you're hiding something, like always.
Good luck with your deal anyway.
Sara...
What the fuck are you doing?
I don't remember the last time you were in such a hurry to see me.
If you don't answer my calls...
I knew what you wanted to tell me.
I don't know what you're thinking.
Dad...
It's the biggest decision of your life. Cecile...
Cecile is rebuilding Citadel technology with Klein
behind our backs and then, behind Klein's back, she's allying with us?
The perfect wife.
This is Manticore.
Everyone is keeping others in the dark.
I think she wants to screw both us and the Germans.
-Do you know something I don't know? -No.
But clearly, she's merging with us to wipe us out.
What you see as a union, in her mind is an acquisition.
I'm buying time to call her bluff.
How?
Trust me.
You know what happened when I trusted you.
It's not the same.
Brains and caution.
I've been repeating it to myself every day for eight years.
If I'd been more cautious, you'd still have a brother.
And I wouldn't have lost a son.
Would you have asked Enrico to marry her?
I wouldn't have needed to ask him.
I know you're not like him.
And I also know I've stifled your ambitions.
But in the position we're in, sticking our necks out is a risk.
I negotiated a lot with Cecile, we didn't get a bad deal.
You'll have a role of absolute power.
Use your head, Edo. Only that.
DIANA So?
9 YEARS EARLIER
You were right.
Enough.
I need to end this and move on.
Will you give me a hand?
By the way, I found a job in Milan.
-A job? -Yes.
-That's great! -But I won't go,
if you don't want me to.
Don't be silly, you have to go.
You like an empty house now that there's Giorgio.
Milan is only one hour away.
Don't worry, we'll be fine.
-We'll be great. -Great.
MILAN
Nice to see you again.
I studied the black box transcripts you gave me,
and if you're against whoever killed my parents and 85 others, I'm in.
I was sure of it.
I lost my whole life on that plane, you know?
Not just you.
One of our agents was on board, that's why they brought it down.
I want to know everything.
-About Citadel, the Zanis. -We'll have time for that.
You swim after eating, right?
Welcome to our training center.
This?
Yeah.
Where are the others?
You won't know about them,
and they won't know about you.
So, if I get caught and tortured, I can't name names.
-Good. -They won't torture you.
They won't? Can you guarantee that?
Of course I can.
Because I'll teach you not to get caught.
What do I have to do?
We think the Zanis are creating something.
You have to find out what.
You'll get them to hire you.
You'll become one of them.
But you'll remain one of us.

SARA
Hey.
-Everything okay? Did you get home? -Yes, right now.
Good, I was worried, trains are late sometimes.
No, don't worry. All good.
Good.
What the...
What's going on?
No, nothing. I thought I heard Adele.
No, no, no. All good. False alarm.
Sara, you know I love you guys, right?
I love you, too. A lot.
Okay.
Good night.
-I thought you had changed your mind. -I thought you had.
So?
What kind of weapon is it?
It's too early to say.
The German half is still unknown,
but the French one has an interception system
that can be reduced to microscopic size.
Like a control system?
Too bad it doesn't work. At least not the device you stole.
The data is corrupted.
There's a flaw.
It's a miniscule one, almost impossible to find,
but it disables the whole system.
And it was artfully placed.
The French never wanted to swap.
No.
They wanted to take it all.
And screw Klein.
Let's take advantage of that and let the Germans find out.
They'd need to notice the flaw on their own.
Do you think it's visible enough or is there a way to make it bigger?
-I already took care of it. -Of course.
It's important nobody can trace it back to us.
Don't worry, the French don't know we were in Lugano
-and the German guy thinks I'm on my own. -Good.
What convinced you in the end?
Manticore must change.
They promised me something different, too.
And if the only way is starting a war between allies,
let's do it.
I'm going.
I have to drive four hours to arrive in time
to check the area and make sure the German guy's alone.
Diana.
Stay alive.
Enough!
Enough.
TRAINING DAY 19
Give up, then.
That's not funny.
The Zanis have a specific target.
They look for people with a good reason for hating the government,
people convinced that those in power only tell lies.
Come here!
The first level of truth about flight OT9732
is that the plane went down due to a malfunction.
But someone like you, who didn't buy that lie,
got close to the second level,
that is, that the plane exploded in flight
at the hands of the secret services.
This is what you would have discovered if I hadn't stopped you...
Because this is what you'll discover now,
to get their attention.
They are the third level of truth, the real one.
Help, Gabriele! Help!
Gabriele, help me!
Are you nuts?
Who are you mad at?
They murdered your parents,
you only have your sister left,
and you keep bullshitting her. You should be mad at yourself, not at me.
You said you would protect her, but you leave her alone.
Fuck you!
What the fuck do you know?
You roped me into this!
I leave her alone to come here and work my ass off!
There it is, anger.
How long did it take you to explode? Five minutes?
Well done. So it was all an act to piss me off?
No, not to piss you off,
but to show you how quickly you lose control.
You're an open book to me
and you'll be one to them, too.
A mole can't allow that.
I'll teach you to shut your emotions away in a place so remote
that you won't even know what you're feeling.
It won't be good for you.
But it will save your life.
300 KM FROM MILAN
[German] Very clever. In the clown's head.
You think you're smart? We were watching you.
Done. The German took the bait.
Good.
Now, listen. We have to...
Hello?
PARIS
MANTICORE FRANCE HEADQUARTERS
[French] I was waiting for your call.
-Did you have a nice day? -[Italian] Not bad, and you?
Did the night bring clarity?
I had an unexpected meeting
with one of our employees.
They asked me to fire them.
They want to go back to having a life.
A life?
[French] Such a bourgeois dream.
They say they're tired of taking orders, they want to be free,
and I understand them.
Because I feel exactly the same.
[Italian] You could stop taking orders from your father.
And start taking them from you?
You have a misogynistic view of marriage.
Please, Cecile...
Anyway...
Have you made up your mind?
Yes, I have.
Noted.
Besides, we already had our chance, right?
[French] Fine.
We'll go our separate ways.
Any news from 3-0-1?
Still nothing. He's impossible to find.
We can't afford a loose cannon.
-Especially with what he's got. -I know.
We're doing our best.
Matteo.
Just a second.
-What's going on? -Someone hacked into the system.
NO ACCESS
Dad, what's wrong?
Our system, the database, the networks, all of it...
She took them.
Cecile has made us blind and deaf.
Our agents are exposed now. Names, data, addresses.
She's killing them one by one.
-What? -She figured out we were in Lugano.
That's the official excuse.
I warned you!
Where are you going?
To humiliate myself in front of her.
She wants a meeting to dictate the terms
of the most disastrous surrender in history.
Unless she kills me first.
Tell her it was Klein.
They bought off our agent, the real masterminds are the Germans.
I'll provoke the Germans' hatred, and I can't prove anything.
You can! You'll say you had 3-0-1 tracked down
and you found out he met with a German agent in Italy
to sell him the weapon.
I have no evidence for that.
We had evidence and you would've given it to them gladly.
But she destroyed it when she hacked into our system.
You'll tell her I invented a data self-destruction system
in case of an attack.
Make it up, Dad.
Bluff.
Isn't that what we do best?
I'm coming back.
Diana, Manticore France is attacking all our agents.
-What? -They know about Lugano.
You'll be at the top of their list.
Don't go home.
-Okay? -My sister is at home.
Diana!
Answer, damn it!
For fuck's sake, Sara!
Fuck!
You won't have what makes people happy.
TRAINING DAY 47
For the choice you made, you'll end up alone.
Is it envy? Or self-pity?
Visualize the safe.
Am I sincere?
Are you sure you can trust me?
You're almost there.
I lock my emotions in a safe and throw away the key.
Picture it in your mind until it's all there is.
[French] It's true.
We spied on you.
You rebuilt the weapon behind our backs.
[French] Maybe it was my dowry.
I can't trust someone who spies on me
and ruins eight years of work.
They were ordered not to intervene.
They didn't listen to you.
Because one of the two was a sellout.
That's why he didn't listen to me.
I'll kill your agents one by one, until you return what you stole.
[French] Eight agents killed.
To be precise, agents 3-0-1 and 3-0-8 are missing.
Lucas Pavan and Diana Cavalieri.
Will you bring them in or do I have to find them?
Sara!
Okay. We're done for today.
TRAINING DAY 73
Good.
You have to start taking it up a notch.
-Oh, really? -Well, yeah.
It's too easy like...
What is it?
Diana!
Sit down.
What did you feel?
A buzzing in my head.
-Dizziness? -Yes.
-It has happened before. -What do you mean?
It's Ménière disease.
There's no cure.
It's a side effect of our training.
The safe, too many emotions locked inside.
So, you knew you'd cause it.
I knew I was running the risk, yes.
These can keep the symptoms at bay, though.
[French] I don't have the other half of your weapon.
[French] Too bad.
[French] Nine agents killed. Attack on 3-0-8 underway.
I cannot interrupt the attack.
Klein has it.
You're too smart not to understand
that the only person to whom 3-0-1 can sell half of the weapon
is the person who already has the other half.
Klein deceived you.
He never wanted to make a swap.
And how do you know?
We've located him.
We know that 3-0-1 is meeting up with the German agent that was in Lugano.
Check it yourself.
You can access our security cameras. See where the German agent is.
If he's in Italy,
it means I'm right.
Sara!
Yes?
Hi.
Here she is!
Hi, honey.
Please. Where have you been?
Where have I been? At work.
You weren't answering your phone,
-so I went by your place. -You did well.
He found me there and took me to dinner, which you never do.
Weren't you supposed to have left?
And weren't you supposed to be single?
No way. You hadn't told her about me yet?
Come on...
No, no.
I didn't have time. But I would have, eventually. Of course.
We have to make a toast, then.
-To us. -To the end of secrets.
So, how did you two meet?
TRAINING DAY 98
The hole in my sister's head looked really cheap.
-Really? -Yes, look.
-Let me see. -Look.
You should hire new people for special effects,
-because this sucks. -You're right, it sucks.
Want a beer?
Yes.
Let's go.
I asked her out not once, not twice, but five times.
-Five times? -Five.
What would you think if someone turned down five dinner invitations?
I don't know. He wasn't my type. What can I say?
-Well, thank you. -"Wasn't!" I said "wasn't. "
Sometimes, you can surprise me.
My father. Excuse me.
-He's so hot! -Why the fuck were you at my place?
Can we talk about it later? Quick, he'll be back soon.
Why am I finding this out from him?
It's new. I don't even know if it'll last.
Please, make it last. It's only up to you.
-If he doesn't... -Not really. No...
Don't you see how he looks at you?
-He's head over heels. -Are you drunk?
-I'm not drunk. -Yes, you are.
I know how much time you've wasted digging up the past,
but this guy seems like he's worth moving on with.
You can build something for yourself that...
that isn't just work.
8 YEARS EARLIER
Okay, will you tell me a few things now?
-Like what? -Like how you ended up at Citadel.
-It's a long story... -Better.
Citadel was a response to the actions of the world's secret services.
They would cause wars, overthrow governments, kill opponents.
So, about a century ago, a group of idealistic and brave
men and women
founded a new secret agency
that wasn't loyal to a boss or a nation,
but only to a principle:
to make the world a safer place.
For everyone.
Citadel is a utopia.
And you'll contribute to it.
Welcome.
Thank you.
You start tomorrow.
-You're ready. -No!
Are you crazy?
What about all the spy tricks, like learning to shoot?
-No? -We'll leave the boring stuff to them.
-They have to see you rough. -Are you saying I'm rough?
-A little bit. -Right.
-They'll take care of it. -And you're a shithead.
When will we meet again?
We'll meet as little as possible.
From now on, we'll communicate through this.
It's untraceable.
And when it's absolutely necessary...
The meeting point is always the same.
Bye.
Diana.
We're the good guys.
Always remember that.
Sara, it was a pleasure to meet you.
-I hope to see you again soon. -Me, too.
-Bye. -Bye.
Thanks.
-I'll walk you to your car. -Yes.
Bye.
I'll send a team to your house to clean it up.
Thanks.
-What is today's damage? -Twelve agents.
Okay.
Do you think I'm still at risk?
I don't know.
We underestimated the consequences of our actions,
and this can never happen again.
Not now. My sister is watching.
She was watching us.
-Why would 3-0-1 have done this? -I don't know, ask him.
You can be sure we will. Now I'm asking you.
I don't know.
Why would a stupid agent steal something without knowing what it was?
Maybe he was tired of being considered a stupid agent.
He met a girl.
He wanted to quit, change his life.
He took advantage of the first untracked mission.
That's all I know.
Go get stitched up.
Matteo thinks she's telling the truth.
Thanks.
I don't.
The justice you long for doesn't exist, Diana.
Who are you?
The truth.
IN THE NEXT EPISODE
Your training starts today.
There are things I can't explain to you.
I've already activated our contacts.
The coordinates to capture Weber.
I have to take him alive.
There's a margin of error in every mission.
You're trained not to trust anyone.
Can you put that aside for one day?
