Machine - Episode Guide

Actively sought by the army's secret services, a young outcast returns incognito to her hometown. She hopes to take refuge with her grandmother, but discovers that she died during her absence. However, she decides to stay in the deceased's apartment and finds work in a household appliance factory. Recently bought by a Korean industrialist, the company is in turmoil. There, the young woman meets a loud-mouthed worker, JP, a former drug addict and follower of Karl Marx, who gives her a nickname: "Machine". Thanks to the revolt brewing in the factory, the new recruit reveals surprising combat skills...

At the factory, the workers go on strike to protest the control of the Korean Kwandai, who sends his son there to clarify the situation. The man meets a prefect who wants to be reassuring: the French state, through a "facilitator", will take things in hand.

A new chapter opens at the Kwandai factory after the suicide of its French CEO: facing the union delegates, JP defends the Marxist principle of self-management but he is in the minority. Machine undertakes to help him by organizing the workers to take power. The operation is not to the taste of Robert, the facilitator, who inquires about JP's past...

Faced with the crisis, Kwandai's response is inflexible: the factory is going to be relocated. Soldier Benoît, for his part, is getting closer to his target. Machine alerts the secret services with whom she still seems to be in contact.

The mercenary Robert retaliates by ordering a wave of arrests. Machine is neutralized by Benoît who reveals the causes of his hatred. Under the eye of the secret services led by Colonel Karras, she gives her version of the story...

The factory becomes the scene of a final confrontation as Machine obtains a reprieve from Colonel Karras to deal with his new adversaries: Kwandai's henchmen and the mercenary Robert.
