Justicia artificial (2024)

[bunniefuu]

So what does the

organization do?

It's a reintegration organization.

They teach gardening.

Where will you live if the

court grants you parole?

In an association apartment.

And then?

What do you mean?

Where do you see yourself in

three years? What are your plans?

Honestly, I'd like to continue

studying Computer Science.

It's my passion.

I've spent two years in prison.

I've got my head straight.

Uh...

I obviously want to find a legal

job, in software, for example.

I don't know.

I can... I can

work on something,

use my knowledge for

community service or...

Or, just keep working

DENY PAROLE

on security software

for companies.

That's what I'm trained

in. The plaintiff,

Jess Almeida Carballo,

requests parole.

The prosecution opposes.

We're talking about two million

in computer damages, your honor.

And his remorse isn't genuine.

He's still active

in hacking circles.

Is that true?

Your Honor, if...

If you mean...

Writing on computer forums,

yes, it's true.

But it's purely for

educational purposes.

What am I going to do?

Start studying something

completely different? No!

It's what I want to do.

Obviously a legal path. I

want to grow in this field,

I want to be able to keep

working here, you know?

The plaintiff meets

the legal requirements,

so I rule in his

favor and order...

Your Honor,

I request that the sentence

includes THENTE's recommendation.

Mr. Prosecutor, do

not interrupt me.

The software recommends

imprisonment.

The court rules in favor of the

plaintiff and grants him parole.

Mr Almeida.

Make the most of

this opportunity.

Thank you.

The session is adjourned.

What time is it?

Ten thirty. While

you review the file,

we could have a coffee. Carmen.

Alicia.

I know I should have

made an appointment.

I sent you messages.

You haven't read them.

Yes, I saw them. Sorry.

I've been really busy. I know.

I need to talk to you.

I wouldn't insist

if it wasn't urgent.

How about Friday morning?

My team will contact you

tomorrow to finalize it.

-Nice to meet you.

-Same here.

Today I stand before you

to announce our intention

to call a historic referendum.

The time has come

to update our Constitution.

The goal is to set up

a legislative framework

that allows us

to introduce artificial

intelligence systems

to modernize the

administration of justice.

To increase efficiency

in all our courts,

we propose the

implementation of THENTE 2.

We seek the trust and approval

of the citizens

in this referendum to carry out

an essential technological

transition process

for the future of

our institutions.

Madam President,

-THENTE's CEO was expected to be here.

-Yes.

Unfortunately, Alicia

Kvack couldn't attend

due to personal reasons.

-So cynical!

-Thank you very much.

Disabling autopilot

in three, two, one.

Today, the justice system

is riddled with problems.

They say it's slow, ineffective,

politicized

and out of touch with the

values of today's society.

For too long, courts have been

places of conflict and frustration,

of unnecessary waiting,

paperwork, and bureaucracy.

We live in complex and

globalized societies,

but our courts are still

stuck in the 20th century.

They are slow structures, incapable

of adapting to modern needs.

They said that the

self-driving car was a dream,

that artistic creation was

an exclusively human skill,

that artificial intelligence

could never replace a judge.

They were wrong.

-Has Alicia said anything?

-It's childish.

Talk to Marketing

to get more options.

Now we're all here,

I'd like to mention something.

You shouldn't go on stage

alone for the presentation.

She's the face of the company.

But pressure will increase.

And you think she can't

handle the pressure?

You disappear for two weeks,

today you stood up

the Prime Minister...

Anything to say?

The presentation is off.

The system isn't ready.

The date is set, we've

made commitments.

I've called a board meeting this

week. We'll announce it tomorrow.

You're crazy! Brais.

They just announced it in

a damn press conference!

Brais!

What? What do you want?

You should have asked me. I did.

And we agreed to move

forward, improve gradually.

Jobs are at stake.

There's more at stake.

It's career suicide!

The board won't let you

ruin it. Neither will I.

Alicia, investors are

expecting a launch,

and so are the governments.

It's not the time.

If you want to change

something, change it later.

I've made my decision.

I'M IN CONTROL

THIS IS MY MOMENEverything went well.

You have expelled all that

was left of the embryo.

It's normal to feel

down for a few days.

I'm fine. Don't worry.

Carmen, I don't

recommend you try again.

The system's risk

percentage is very high.

And most likely, we'll end

up in the same situation.

But it's your decision.

You don't have to decide now.

VOTE YES FOR THE JUDICIAL

TRANSITION REFERENDUM

ALICIA KVACK, CEO

OF THENTE AI HAS DIED

The accident was reported

shortly after the Prime

Minister announced

the judicial system reform.

The death of Alicia Kvack

is a blow to the

government's initiative,

but above all, it's a blow to THENTE,

which lost its greatest asset.

Carmen, I'd like to meet. I need

you to help with the project.

Please call me. It's urgent.

She's waiting for

you, your honor.

What did I say last year?

The numbers didn't add up.

The average is 500

procedures per quarter

and your court hits under 300.

We want to double the

figures in a year.

You know it's impossible to

study that number of cases

in depth. I know.

That's what THENTE is for.

An 82% chance of reoffending

and you grant parole.

He met all the requirements.

According to the law.

The law...

Come on, Carmen!

An 82% chance.

Aren't you afraid

he'll reoffend?

Have they contacted you?

Who?

The association of judges.

I'm not in the association.

I know.

But Goitia hasn't called you.

No.

We haven't talked in months.

The association will

campaign for a no.

They're involving

some colleagues.

Goitia is with them.

I want you to meet someone.

Judge, this is

Judge Carmen Costa.

-My name is vila.

-Your Honor.

We haven't met,

but I know your work. I'm

your instructor's colleague.

I'm with the Ministry of

Technological Transition.

We're focused on

the THENTE issue.

For or against?

I haven't decided.

We're not as

reckless as they say.

We know what it means to

delegate justice to a machine,

but we've tested the software.

Over the past months, more than

100 judges have audited THENTE.

It's been personally

coordinated by Alicia Kvack.

You knew her, right?

I had a trial with

her years ago.

Alicia valued your work highly.

She wanted you on the project

and that's why we called you.

We want you to do

one last audit.

It will only be two weeks.

The ministry will give

you special permission.

Sorry, but no... I don't

think I'm the right person.

We're sure you are.

We would love to have your help.

All the polls are pointing

in the same direction.

The yes will win in the

referendum on algorithmic justice.

A historic milestone,

as, if the polls are correct,

Spain will be the first

country in the world

to put artificial

intelligence in charge

of operating one of the pillars

The administration of justice.

Alicia believed that if

justice comes too late,

it loses its essence.

She, on the other

hand, left us too soon.

But rest assured that her

life's work is still on going,

continuing to grow

in line with the

vision she left us.

Alicia isn't just the

brightest person I've ever met.

She's the one who

keeps me going.

The challenges ahead

are as great as what

we've already achieved.

We are closer than ever.

Thank you, Alicia.

You have arrived at

your destination.

Welcome, Carmen.

Thank you.

I'm Alejandro Havel,

Operations Director at THENTE.

Nice to meet you. This way.

How was your trip?

Good.

I thought there

would be more people.

This is a research center.

Alicia set it up when we

grew from being a startup.

Didn't she like the city? No.

She didn't like the noise.

Let me introduce

you to Carmen Costa.

Carmen, this is Bea, Dorian,

Marketing; Aitor,

Legal Department.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

And Sofia, our Chief

Technology Officer.

She will monitor the testing.

Have you signed the

confidentiality clauses?

She'll sign them now.

Tell me what happened.

I was preparing the kids' bath.

Then he called,

I answered and then he...

asked me to open the door.

Well, the main entrance.

-And you opened.

-No!

He started talking and said

he wanted to see the kids,

saying he had

something to give them

and... I started panicking.

I asked him to wait at

the entrance, but...

Then he was shouting and...

VERDICT REACHED

The system already

has a verdict.

On the screen, you have

all the documentation,

just like THENTE.

These are new cases

for you and for it.

You'll study them

at the same time.

We want to see

your approach for each case.

Then we'll compare it with

the machine's verdict.

The goal is for THENTE

to learn from you.

You can use both screens.

THENTE will work

in the background.

Ready?

There are differences,

but historically, 90% of

judges interpret the law

the same way you have.

The software follows

the same pattern.

I'll load the verdicts.

We want you to analyze them.

Excuse me.

I want to see more

THENTE verdicts.

Criminal, social,

and administrative.

I want them printed out.

I'll study them at home.

Sure thing.

You shouldn't be here.

Your paper verdicts.

Alicia used to use this office.

Please, come with me. The

president wants to meet you.

Now it's time...

Talk to Sofia about that, okay?

Right? Okay.

Carmen.

I didn't introduce

myself earlier.

With the start of the campaign,

we're a bit overwhelmed.

I'm Brais Iago.

I saw you at the funeral.

Were you there?

It hasn't been easy,

but we're getting

a lot of support

and it encourages us

all to keep going.

I hope you feel comfortable.

We have a lot to learn from you

and Sofia and Alex will provide

you with everything you need.

We have to leave you now. I'll

see you over the coming days.

Okay.

I'll walk you out.

Sorry for Brais's rush.

Congress has just

announced a commission

on algorithmic justice,

just days before the referendum,

and we need a lot

of preparation.

Are you going to use my

audit in the campaign?

Didn't they tell you?

It's likely you'll be asked

to testify in Congress.

By who? Everyone:

The association,

the government...

They respect you

and your career.

You stood up to the

electric companies.

I don't know, your verdicts

are just so detailed.

They can be modeled very well.

And, besides, you're independent

of the associations, so...

Your profile is

perfect for THENTE.

Alicia was very clear about it.

She loved coming here.

She mentioned you in her will.

What?

Alicia wanted you to work

on the new version of THENTE

and the launch depends on

your approval as a judge.

She put it in writing, in case

something happened to her.

In case something

happened to her?

Why wasn't I told?

We don't make all the

decisions, Carmen.

They figured the new

version would surprise you

and that it would be easy

to get your approval.

I would have found

out eventually.

Now you know.

I don't want this to affect your

judgment about the software.

We really need you to be

involved in improving it.

That's what Alicia wanted.

If I don't approve it,

you can't launch it.

No.

It's a problem for us

and it's also a problem

for the government.

Do you know who's handling

Kvack's accident?

The sixth.

I'm very sorry.

Were you friends?

I met her in a trial years ago.

But we weren't exactly friends.

She would write to me

sometimes for advice.

Oh, by the way... Uh...

This came from the

prosecutor's office.

It's just a warning

about the hacker.

He had a very high

probability...

Did I ask for your opinion?

Sorry.

Carmen, how are you?

Good.

The clinic told me I don't

have any more options.

What?

No, listen to me. Look at me.

If it's what you want,

you should keep trying.

No, I'm giving up.

You know what?

I'll finish up and we'll

go out for a drink.

I don't feel like talking

about it. I'll see you later.

Goodbye.

When a victim is testifying or when

a suspect is giving a statement,

how do you perceive that anger

if not in the way they

express themselves,

through their emphasis

when describing

certain reactions

characteristic of...?

Want to come up?

Walking is more our thing.

As soon as the referendum is

approved, THENTE sentences

will no longer be

recommendations.

Yes, I know.

I'm working with the

judges' association.

Yes, they told me.

But we don't have the

support of the people.

How could they, Goitia,

when you're always in the news

for cases of politicization

or corruption.

Hey, they are exceptions.

This is different.

It's different when

it affects your power,

but when we ask for

help from the courts

or protection from pressures,

you're never there.

They called you, didn't they?

To work with them?

They want to use you.

They want you for the campaign.

Carmen, you're not

just any judge.

Your support in the

referendum will be symbolic.

Goitia, I'm not in

favor of the reform,

but we need changes.

We're overwhelmed,

you know that.

But this isn't the answer.

In a few weeks, a commission

will be held in Congress.

On algorithmic justice.

It will have a serious

impact on public opinion

and we want you to testify.

No, I'm not going

to expose myself.

I don't have a clear opinion.

It's not the time

to sit on the fence.

You have to take a stand.

People are saying

Alicia tried to stop the

launch of the software.

Fatal accidents in

self-driving cars

don't happen every day.

So, please,

be careful.

Of course.

And that is the

pressing question.

Will judges as we know

them cease to exist?

No, rest assured,

judges will continue to be part

of the judicial process,

but in a different way.

-One...

-We need a human perspective.

Societal progress is driven

by some of the best

decisions judges have made.

But it's curious,

because those judges

don't usually reach

higher courts.

Promotions tend to be determined

by how close you are to power.

Listen,

we didn't come here to

politicize this issue.

But they're right.

We need to detach the judicial system

from political and economic power.

This implies more

transparency in justice

and in our system,

and the creation of

ambitious mechanisms

that facilitate public participation

in the administration of justice.

We're witnessing the

unstoppable rise of THENTE.

I don't know what your future

goals are, or where you want to go.

Our goal is...

Speak clearly, what do you mean?

I mean, we all knew

he was into shady dealings.

Were you involved too?

No.

But on October 17,

you were with him.

Yes, we met at the bar.

Did you touch him?

Uh... Yes, I touched

him. I touched his neck.

-Why did you meet?

-No particular reason.

I was there, he arrived

and we had a drink.

He didn't give me good

vibes, to be honest,

and anyway, my friend

said he was bad news.

Around two in the morning.

About the weather, girls,

if he had been out...

Things like that.

Your main arguments and

the essence of the verdict

coincide with THENTE's.

Again.

There's only one difference.

The hearing found the defendant guilty.

THENTE and you declare her innocent.

And the High Court?

They didn't appeal.

Appealing to higher

courts costs money

and not everyone can afford it.

Justice should be

accessible to everyone.

THENTE and you

have agreed in all cases.

The only difference is the time

you each needed.

When is the

presentation scheduled?

Before the referendum,

on the 15th.

Alicia died a week ago.

I know when she died.

You founded the

company together.

She created the algorithm and

I turned it into a company.

We have a schedule to keep.

Alex will introduce you

-to the databases...

-It must have been hard.

We had been separated for some

time, if that's what you're asking.

And it was amicable.

Anything else?

...with the teams of...

Is everything okay

with the tests?

I don't see how

I can contribute.

Why not?

I'm just not sure what...

What I should focus

on in the audit.

Alicia was looking for someone

who could update the system.

With enough legal knowledge.

Based on social

changes, of course.

But that's in the long term.

Now we need to focus

on the audit and...

In the long term?

I would like you to work with us

after the referendum,

whatever the outcome.

We need someone like you.

We invest a lot of

money in big data.

We buy all kinds of databases:

Legal, commercial,

social media...

Data is the cornerstone

of the software.

What do you think about

Alicia's accident?

I'll see what the judge rules.

The verdict will be out soon.

THENTE already has a verdict.

It's under judicial secrecy.

I won't tell anyone.

Okay.

Come here.

This is the satellite recording.

It's at night so it's not very

clear but you can see better here.

That's the car that

caused the accident.

It skidded and ended up

sideways on a blind bend.

Here comes Alicia's car.

Coming out of the curve, she sees

a car in the middle of the road

and the system takes

control of the vehicle.

It tries to dodge it,

trusting it can brake in time.

It was probably the best option.

For whom?

Eh... For everyone.

Especially for the adult and child

who were in the other vehicle.

In a collision at that speed,

everyone would have died.

The system made that decision

based on the ethical algorithm:

Save the lives of two people

by risking the life of another.

Can we see if the ethical algorithm

is mentioned in the verdict?

No.

That is protected by the

industrial secrets act.

Then, how do we know it was

the algorithm that decided?

Let me see.

Carmen.

The verdict was based on the

statement of an engineer.

UNKNOWN NUMBER

THE DAY OF ALICIA'S ACCIDENBrais.

What?

What do you want?

You should have asked me. I did.

And we agreed to improve

gradually. Jobs are at stake.

There's more at stake.

It's career suicide!

The board won't let you ruin it.

Neither will I.

This morning the verdict

of Alicia Kvack's

accident was made public.

The decision behind

the fatal crash

was made by the ethical

algorithm in her VINSENG vehicle,

and is described in

the verdict itself

as a fair decision.

We heard from the

VINSENG spokesperson.

The algorithm sees everyone as equal.

All lives are equally valuable.

Markets are interpreting

the court decision

as a sign of artificial

intelligence's neutrality

in decision-making.

This is a major boost to

those supporters a 'yes' vote

in the referendum on

algorithmic justice.

The name has not

been made public yet.

That's why I asked you.

Yeah, but the judge at court three

didn't find it funny, neither did I.

It's not our case.

I would have asked

him, but I'm on leave.

His name is Carlos Vidal and he is

the Director of Security at VINSENG.

He's the engineer who

testified at Alicia's trial.

He's an expert in cybersecurity

and artificial intelligence.

He worked for various

tech companies

in the United States and Asia.

How can we find him?

Can you find out

who his lawyers are?

Sure.

-Hello, Carmen.

-Do you know Carlos Vidal?

-No.

-He's the engineer

who testified at Alicia's trial.

I don't know him personally.

Well, I need to talk to him.

I'll try the official route, but

I don't think they'll listen.

I'll try to get his number. Come

over, Sofia is expecting you.

Yes, yes. I'm on my way.

I just fell.

You fell at home?

Yes, I fell and hit

the corner of a door.

Well, Alejandro, do you

know why we're here?

No, no.

THENTE gives it a

credibility of 6%.

Yes, he's lying.

But the question is why.

With minors, it's

complicated, isn't it?

What do you mean?

How to know if they

are telling the truth

or if they are manipulated

by a parent?

You can find out

by talking to them.

There are also

psychosocial reports.

Do you have children?

A 12-year-old daughter.

Do you have custody?

Yes.

At 12, I think they should

decide for themselves.

Shall we review the sentences?

Of course.

We agree on the verdicts,

but the sentence for subject one is

different from that of subject three.

The crimes and

circumstances are similar.

The sentences

should be the same.

THENTE can decide different

degrees of sentences.

Each subject is assessed based

on different factors

of their history.

How do they value each factor?

It's weighted by an algorithm.

I need to see it.

No one can see it.

It's a scale that

affects the sentence.

It has to be public.

I can't tell you any more.

And who can?

Sofa already told you.

THENTE evaluates the future

impact they might have on society.

Justice isn't the

same for everyone.

The law is.

It can't be a trade secret.

You also have to assess whether

a prisoner deserves parole.

And you wonder if

they will use it well.

THENTE does the same.

But it doesn't

wonder, it predicts.

It's one of the core

principles of the algorithm.

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

Alicia admired you.

She could have gone to prison

and you gave her a second chance.

You sensed she would do well.

THENTE would do the same

for someone like her.

I know you have concerns,

but I'm just trying

to defend her legacy.

You don't seem very interested in

investigating what happened to her.

Now is not the time.

What else do you need?

Did Alicia want to

launch the software now?

The plan was to launch it now

and improve it in the updates.

I need to take this.

See you at Congress?

Yes.

Call Goitia.

Carmen.

Have you summoned

me to Congress?

-I was very clear...

-It was the government.

They'll want your support.

I told you they

wanted to buy you out.

Carmen,

you can still help us.

Today's news

takes us to the

Congress of Deputies,

where, just a few days

before the referendum,

there will be a debate for

public opinion, right, Pedro?

Yes, I think today we will see

a fierce defense by the judges of

what I would call their privileges

and THENTE's defense of the

benefits of their system,

which we have seen

are more than proven.

What we are seeing

is that the judges

are being left alone,

either due to their

blatant corporatism

or because they are no longer

necessary in these times.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Madam President.

Yes, we'll look at it now.

They always talk about

productivity, efficiency,

but, in your opinion,

how do you measure

a country's justice system?

I am not a jurist

nor a judge.

I've always measured

the quality of a service

by asking the user.

When you eliminate human

factors from the process,

such as ideology,

emotionality, race biases,

gender, or class,

when the sentences you produce

are free of these prejudices,

the citizen perceives

them as fairer.

This is what our

indicators tell us.

And this is

what we consider to be

higher quality justice.

I have never been part of

any judges' association,

and I am completely against

the politicization of justice,

but I have decided

to step forward

because I believe we

are at a crucial moment

for democracy.

Justice has always

been uncomfortable

because it controls

political and economic power

and represents the last

bastion in the defense

of fundamental rights.

A bastion

that is defended by more

than 5000 honest judges

who give everything

to the courts

and who are suffocated by the

lack of resources for their work.

Certain investment funds and

sectors of the government

have decided it's time

to end this counterbalance.

They talk about

efficiency and neutrality

to hide the true objective:

To control how justice is administered

across the entire country.

Thank you.

As a representative

of the judges,

you speak of independence.

Yesterday we woke up

to the recording of a politician

asking a magistrate

to appoint one of

the "good" judges

to handle his case.

As you know, the magistrate

eventually agreed.

That is the justice

you are defending.

That is human justice.

And we are here

to put an end to

that corruption.

Our software allows us to read

the emotions of witnesses,

detecting behavior patterns,

mining data,

resolving asylum

requests, parole,

lawsuits, labor conflicts,

moderating the present,

the past, and the future.

Millions of processes

from all the courts

of this country

simultaneously and in

less time than it takes

a justice official to process

their mental health leave.

Do you know how much

money we would save?

Thank you.

Hello.

Your Honor, you sentenced

an electric company

interpreting the law

differently than usual.

Why did you do it?

I considered that a victim's

rights were being violated.

That law had been in

effect for ten years

and nobody had interpreted

it like you did.

That's true.

The context changed.

The country was experiencing

significant impoverishment

and that law was causing

a reduction in rights.

I also believe and consider

that it is the judicial power's

responsibility to question

when a law is or is not suitable

for the reality we live in.

The Supreme Court

agreed with you.

And the government ended

up changing the law.

Do you think that would be

possible with a system like THENTE?

Look, a system like THENTE

bases its sentences

on past data.

It is basically incapable

of interpreting a law

in a changing social context.

Therefore, it is incapable

of generating new jurisprudence,

incapable of progress.

It will always look to the past

and be doomed to repeat it.

-Thank you, Your Honor.

-Thank you.

Thank you very much.

The judge is an

independent professional

and it's hard...

It's hard to control.

Carmen.

We are under a lot of pressure.

So am I.

We need you to

approve the audit.

The system is not

ready. I can't do it.

Fine, we'll delay the

deadlines. We'll run new tests.

I'll give you access

to the algorithm,

to any part you want to know.

We'll do it your way.

Will you think about it?

Disabling autopilot in three,

two, one...

HIDDEN NUMBER

Hello?

I'm Carlos Vidal. I'm told

you want to speak with me.

Yes, yes, that's right.

At twelve in the parking lot

at kilometer 521 of the A-6.

Our relationship

begins and ends today.

You're not going to

summon me either.

I'm going to deny

having spoken with you.

I'm not going to testify.

Is that clear?

That's clear.

I didn't tell the whole

truth at the trial.

I was... I was under

a lot of pressure.

I guess you heard

it on the news.

What?

"Everyone is equal

to the algorithm."

"All lives are worth the same."

The algorithm makes exceptions.

There are premium users who pay

for their lives to take

priority in an accident.

Was Alicia's car one of those?

Of course!

Any VINSENG vehicle

driven by Alicia Kvack

would always choose

the best option for her in

the event of an accident.

That wasn't the case.

It wasn't

because two days earlier we

suffered an attack on our servers.

The ethical exception was erased

in that vehicle,

specifically in that one.

Is there any report

or something...?

Everything was destroyed.

Acknowledging the attack

means acknowledging that

there are ethical exceptions.

And that would be... a scandal.

What do you know

about the attack?

Reviewing the system,

I found some

suspicious connections

a few days before.

And where did

those connections come from?

From THENTE.

The IP is from THENTE's network,

but I can't identify the device.

From here on, it's up to you.

Don't involve me.

Come on...

-Carmen?

-Manuela, I need you to do something.

It's very important.

What is it?

I need you to trace an IP

address. I just sent it to you.

You're joking!

-An IP?

-Yes.

You're on thin ice.

Manuela, can you

do it, yes or no?

Carmen, it's twelve thirty.

Not now. Let's talk tomorrow.

But...

-These need to be processed.

-Okay.

-Here.

-Good afternoon.

Hello.

Manuela,

can we talk for a moment?

Sure.

I'll be right there.

Look, I'm sorry

about last night,

but I really need

to pinpoint that IP.

It's crucial.

No, I'd need to write

up an official report

and there's no reason...

Talk to Martn, from Cybercrime.

There are ways to do it.

I'm not going to

risk it, Carmen.

What are you looking for?

I spoke with the engineer.

What happened to Alicia

wasn't an accident.

She wanted to stop the

launch, you understand?

I need your help.

Okay, if you have evidence,

you know what you have to do.

It's not our investigation.

But I only have suspicions!

It's just an IP!

What do you mean "just

an IP", Carmen? An IP!

Do you realize

what you're asking?

-Yes!

-We don't have a legal basis.

And anyway, I have a

lot of files to process.

Damn it, this is more important

than your f*cking files!

Please!

Forget your "please".

Never talk to me

like that again.

Do you have the money?

Yes.

This is the password.?

2000 in Bitcoin.

Jess, please,

I'm taking a risk here.

The cameras can't see you.

Don't worry.

Did you ever meet Alicia?

Yes, many years ago.

Before she became famous,

she was big in

the hacking world.

We admired her.

But then she betrayed

all her values.

What values?

Alicia came from the

free software community,

from a well-known subgroup,

heavily involved in designing

collaborative governance tools.

They wanted to

democratize everything.

It was all about

redistributing power.

THENTE just concentrates

it in a few hands.

When will Brais be back?

I don't know.

It's over there.

Wait for me here and

keep watch. Okay?

If you see anything,

let me know.

Okay.

I'm inside.

There are many files.

I'm going to take photos.

Does this look familiar to you?

-It's a file on Alicia Kvack.

-Yes.

Nubiok. Biosecurity.

They implant subcutaneous

chips with geolocation.

This code allows you

to access Alicia's location

and movement history.

But you know where she is.

Keep this copy.

I'll analyze everything

and call you.

Okay. Fine.

Ah, one more thing...

We're even.

Thank you.

-Good afternoon.

-Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

-Adolfo, is Manuela not in?

-No.

Do you know when she's coming?

She had a lot going on.

I couldn't tell you.

Are these for her?

Yes.

I'll take care of it.

Thanks a lot.

Pleasure.

I don't understand.

We'll see.

HIDDEN NUMBER

-Hello?

-It's Jess.

Jess, have you found anything?

Yes. There's evidence

of the attack, but...

there's something else.

I'd prefer to talk in person.

Where? Can we...

Can we meet now?

Let me finish. I'll

call you tomorrow.

Okay.

See you tomorrow.

Yes, Manuela?

I've been calling for two hours!

What time is it?

Come to the courthouse and

don't talk to any journalists.

What journalists?

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

-Good morning, Your Honor.

-Hello.

I'll let you know

when I locate her.

Okay.

What's up?

Carmen, let's handle

this calmly, please.

What is going on?

The hacker you granted

parole to, Jess Almeida,

has been arrested with

child p*rn*graphy.

He had photos and videos of the

child who disappeared months ago.

Carmen, it's not your fault.

But they are going

to come after you.

Come with me. Let's

go somewhere quieter.

You've seen what's in the press:

Multiple cybercrimes,

time in juvenile centers,

squatting, radicalized,

and now a pedophile.

And you grant him parole

despite THENTE's warning.

The child's parents say

they want to file a lawsuit.

Do we know when he was arrested?

Last night. And we

know he met with you.

-Do you have the money?

-Yes.

?2000 in Bitcoin. Jess,

I'm taking a risk here.

We're even now.

Are you spying on me?

Did you make a deal

to grant him parole?

No!

How do you explain this, Carmen?

What were you thinking?

It's malfeasance!

For now, you'll be suspended

and end up in the Supreme Court.

They will remove you

from the judiciary.

We will help you in

the Supreme Court.

You have been through enough.

Yes, I understand.

Goitia!

Just a moment, okay?

Alright.

Alright. Nice to meet you.

It's not your fault.

They're following me.

They've threatened me,

put microphones in my car!

I need your support!

The problem with

the hacker's case

is that the AI was right.

We don't know that, Goitia!

I supported you and they're

making me pay for it!

Wait a moment.

It's over.

They'll win the referendum

by a landslide

and this case benefits

them even more.

We've been under

a lot of pressure.

We all have!

I've reached an agreement

with the government.

Human judges remain

for second instances.

A year's extension and we'll

return to the negotiation table.

You've sold out.

I did what my

colleagues asked for.

You've sold out!

I can't fight anymore.

Now it's up to you.

How does it feel to let

a pedophile go free?

Why didn't you listen to THENTE?

-Do you feel responsible?

-Are you going to make a statement?

HUMAN BODY

Manuela...

Hey!

Hey, how are you?

You really scared me!

How are you feeling?

Oh, sorry!

Your vitals are

almost back to normal.

So, you're going

to discharge me?

If everything is the

same tomorrow morning.

How are you feeling?

Good, very good.

Do you remember anything

about what happened?

I remember...

The wind changed very quickly

and the current dragged me out

and then I was

rescued on the beach.

You reacted well.

If you had kept swimming,

you would have drowned.

-I'll discharge you tomorrow.

-Okay.

Hey there!

Hello.

Did you rest well?

-Yes.

-Can you leave?

Yes, they're bringing it now.

Okay.

What's up?

I'm going to try.

Try what?

To have a child.

Well...

I brought chocolates

to celebrate.

They're from the staff.

Everyone's asking about you.

Thanks.

Stop it, silly!

You're being silly.

I'm sorry!

You don't have to say anything.

I'm so sorry!

Today is the day this

government and I personally

have been waiting

for these past years.

We've worked very

hard to get here.

We have the support of all

the European institutions

and, during

the development

phase, we have met

all the ethical and

quality standards

set by EU regulations

to make changes

in how we administer justice.

Tomorrow we present the

system we have chosen

to improve the efficiency

and quality of work

in the judicial institutions

of this country.

He's the new

president of THENTE.

Presenting THENTE 2.

What about Brais?

Has he been arrested?

He's missing.

They searched his cabin

and proved he was behind

Alicia's accident.

He has an international

arrest warrant.

He's accused of m*rder.

But that's not all.

Guess who they've

hired at the company.

...you know the excellent

work that has been done by...

Vidal?

Yes.

But lex said

-he didn't know him.

-But he did.

They worked together

years ago at another company.

lex has been calling every

night to ask how you are

since you were admitted.

You used the accident to

announce the presentation.

It's legally sound. The

ministry suspended you, Carmen.

I know.

And Brais?

I'm sure they'll find him.

Look, Carmen, we're

presenting THENTE 2 today

and I won't forget Alicia.

We are working on the

improvements she wanted

and I would really like

to have you on the team.

Nothing they've said

about me is true.

They took everything,

that we found at Brais's house.

The police searched it.

They say Brais had links with

the guy who hacked Alicia's car.

I saw that too, I told you.

But it's false, Carmen.

It's false.

Look,

they planted child

p*rn*graphy on me.

They could have

planted anything on him

to link him to Alicia's death.

Then they made him disappear.

Who gave you the IP?

They used you to whitewash

something deeper.

Did you bring it?

We'll do a forensic analysis

to confirm that the

data was manipulated.

Okay.

Shortly before she died,

Alicia wrote a memo to Brais.

A secret memo.

It was titled THENTE 3.

Brais and Alicia were

in this together.

Maybe that's why he had the information

about the subcutaneous chip you found.

You were right, Carmen.

She wanted to transform the

country's judicial system.

Go ahead, Carmen.

Take a look at what I sent you.

It's a geolocation chip

that Alicia was carrying.

Brais might have a similar one.

See if it works with

the same access code.

We have all of Brais's movements

and this is his

current position.

-I see.

-We lost the chip's signal here.

And this here is

his entire route.

Where was he coming from?

From this forest.

His trail ends here.

How did he get to

the sea from there?

At night, in a van

without lights.

This is the satellite image.

Send me the route he took through

the forest. You go to the cliff.

The signal is coming from the sea,

but we have to wait for divers.

What do you mean there are no

divers? How long will it take?

Forty-eight hours is impossible.

And we can't guarantee any later.

Olalla Arcos with a

serious political agenda.

Sergeant, a team from

Channel 22 is on its way.

You decide.

God, Carmen! It's not easy

to get divers that quickly.

Prioritize it then.

Talk to your managers.

Carmen, you've been suspended.

This is a mess.

I'm telling you there's

a body down there.

We don't know that,

it's just one lead.

Rego, this is going out live.

Don't embarrass yourself.

How deep was the signal?

45 meters.

What if it's not there?

Good afternoon from A Corua

for this special program

because today is the

launch of THENTE 2,

48 hours before the

decisive referendum

for Spanish society as a whole,

and here live with us is

the new president of THENTE,

Alejandro Havel. Good

afternoon, Alejandro.

Thank you, Olalla. Thank you

for inviting me to the program.

Watching us are the

viewers, the audience,

Spanish society at large, who

will decide this referendum.

What do you want to say to them?

We want them to understand

our fears about the

state of justice

not only in Spain,

but in the world.

Last year,

a million lawsuits

were filed in Spain

of which approximately

60% were addressed.

Next year,

we predict 1,200,000.

Human justice is not

a realistic option.

Not everyone agrees.

That's why we wanted

to have a judge

of recognized prestige

on this program.

In recent days, she

has been the subject

of serious controversy.

With us today is Carmen Costa.

Go ahead.

Good afternoon, Carmen. Welcome.

Thank you for being

with us today.

-Thank you.

-I'm sure our viewers

already know you. Carmen

is one of the few voices

still advocating for a 'no'

vote in the referendum.

-Of course, you know each other.

-Yes.

She worked with us

and she is a person I respect.

Magistrate, there

are 48 hours left

until the referendum,

which could be decisive

because it could lead

to significant changes

to our Constitution.

Why should we vote no?

Because voting in favor

of algorithmic justice

would mean surrendering

judicial independence

and one of the greatest

powers of the State

to a multinational corporation.

That's not the case at all.

THENTE promotes independence, it

frees justice from political control.

This is the path

and the vision set for us

by someone we all admire,

the creator of THENTE,

Alicia Kvack.

No, that's not Alicia's vision.

What was Alicia Kvack's vision?

Her project sought

to enhance human justice

with artificial intelligence,

ceding control to democratic

and transparent processes,

which is absolutely the opposite

of what THENTE represents today.

That's why she wanted to

stop the presentation.

And that's why she was m*rder*d.

Her ex-husband m*rder*d her

to take over the company.

That's what the

police say, Carmen.

Look, our software

has been tested

by hundreds of judges like you

and has been successfully

proven in all Spanish courts.

Its methodology and results

are totally reliable,

like many systems we use today.

For example,

if you go to the doctor

because you want to get

pregnant, let's say,

and an artificial

intelligence system

tells you that you have almost

no chance of that happening

and that if you did

become pregnant,

there would be serious problems

for the baby's health or your own,

you would follow the system's

recommendation, wouldn't you?

That kind of decision can't

be handed over to a machine.

No, of course,

but would you follow

the recommendation?

If I did, I would regret it.

So, you would trust...

Excuse me for a moment,

but we have to cut now

because we have breaking news

regarding the case

of Brais Iago,

former president of THENTE.

In the ongoing investigation,

the police launched a device,

and about an hour ago,

a dive team into the sea

in search...

Early reports suggest

that the body has been

extracted from the sea

and the initial visual

inspection indicates

that it is the

corpse of Brais Iago.

The former president of THENTE

was wanted

in connection with the accident

in which Alicia

Kvack lost her life.

Is that true, Mr. Havel?

Yes, that's true. Brais Iago...

m*rder*d Alicia to

take over her company

and evidence was found.

That's why he fled.

Brais didn't k*ll anyone.

He was accused

with false evidence

and was disappeared.

Now we know where he is.

And we know where you are.

What-what are you

insinuating, Carmen?

What-what are you trying to say?

You've just been suspended

for freeing a criminal,

and you come and have

the nerve to sit here

and accuse me of m*rder?

Be careful, Carmen.

It's not me who will judge you.

I'm here to make sure

you have a fair trial.

Well, we have to leave it here.

We're out of time. Thanks to

both of you, Carmen, Alejandro,

for joining us here live.

And now it's over to you

to have the last word,

with the referendum

in just 48 hours.

TO EMMA
