Death Faked for You: The M.I.5 tries to make the K.G.B. believe Clément Tibère is dead after kidnapping him. At the hospital mortuary, his body is turned into a realistic-seeming corpse. Sixteen years ago, the K.G.B. made the authorities believe Clément Tibère was dead after kidnapping him. It even provided a disfigured corpse. | |

Defector from Commie Land: Justified. Clément Tibère did not want to defect (because he knew the K.G.B. would chase him), but he is forced to defect by the M.I.5, which set up a complex plan to abduct him under the nose of his minders. Tibère denounces several British spies who work for the K.G.B. | |

M.I.5 threatens to kill Tibère if he does not denounce British spies who work for the K.G.B. There is no glamour in any of the depicted secret services. | |

Police Are Useless: The M.I.5 does not do much to protect Clément Tibère: he just receives some money, a gun and a new identity. Subverted with the D.S.T. Its agents want to protect Tibère, but they are not very efficient at first: the first agent who wants to help gets killed. Later, Tibère is advised to go to the D.S.T. office in Paris, but he is attacked by the K.G.B. in the train and he has to flee. However, in the end, the D.S.T. arrests a Russian spy and exchange him against Tibère. | |
