01x01 - Der Mord

[bunniefuu]

I didn't know what

to do or where to go.

But I made this,

so if you're

watching it, then

I'm probably already

gone.

Noah?

- Your mother.

- She can come in.

- Don't forget these.

- I won't. Thanks.

- Have you told Hanna?

- Not yet.

It would just be a distraction.

And I thought it might be

better coming from you.

When can you get back?

There are still a few loose

ends to tie up with the council.

I can break the news to them.

I'll fly later in the day.

Okay.

Good.

Mum?

Are you okay?

I'm fine. It's

It's our people I'm

concerned about.

Yeah.

Well, I

- I gotta go.

- I know.

Good luck.

Thank you.

This huge factory was an economic

engine for Kopwitz, Germany.

Now, the city of Kopwitz is

searching for its identity.

A city about to be reborn.

In nine days' time, we'll begin

the two-year integration plan

which will transform Kopwitz

into a safer, greener,

healthier place to live.

All while other cities across

the world line up to be next.

You can now remove your goggles.

Here's the person who

brought Concordia to Germany.

I'm very pleased to introduce Saxony's

minister president, Hanna Bremer.

Thank you. Thank you.

Good morning, all.

Welcome to Kopwitz.

Past, present and future.

We know the eyes of the cities

you represent will be on us

as we embark on this great experiment

to create a second Concordia.

And we hope you will join us,

so we can share that

experience with you.

We only found out this

morning ourselves.

- The m*rder, it shocked us all.

- Come on. This way.

Is there any connection between

the m*rder and Concordia?

As far as we can tell, no.

But the crime scene was

just outside town limits,

so the news will create a stir.

The press will ask

you for a statement.

20 years without any crime.

That's a record we can

point to with pride.

Especially now.

And what about Fatemah?

She's sending someone in. A

crisis manager from London.

It might help.

Hanna, I know you've

staked your entire career

on bringing

Concordia to Germany.

I won't let a tragedy

like this stop us now.

Good.

Outside Concordia?

Come on. E-mail,

phone, credit cards,

cameras in stores,

airports, streets.

Outside Concordia, we

are tracked everywhere.

Data is gathered, harvested

by everything we touch, do.

Our data, that's the

world we live in.

Nobody knows where

that data goes.

Who sees it? If it's

sold, how will it be used?

I told people, isn't it more

important you know the answer to that,

rather than pretending

it's not true?

In Concordia, they're open about the

cameras, not like everywhere else,

where you never know who's

watching you or for what reason.

They're honest about the usage

of our data, how it's gathered,

what is gathered and

how we benefit from it.

We trust in Concordia that

our footage, our data,

our rights are safe and secure.

They will never be infringed

upon or taken advantage of.

What they didn't understand is that

no one ever really sees that footage

unless there is a reason to.

And only by those people whose

job it is to protect you.

The AI, the humans, it

all works hand in hand.

Checks and balances, making

sure there is no misuse.

It's great to live in a place

where truth still matters.

Thea Ryan? Isabelle Larsson.

I'll be working with you, leading the

investigation from the Concordia side.

I see why the Gothenburg

police are involved, but here?

What do police do in

a place with no crime?

We don't have police here, only

community officers like myself.

In Concordia, we don't

fight crime, we prevent it.

- Isn't that what the cameras are for?

- They're not used the way you'd think.

We have to get some admin out of

the way. Can I have your devices?

Laptop, phone.

- Are you serious?

- It's just for a moment.

We need to install a firewall to

protect your personal data while here.

Just don't go through my photos.

I'm joking. Mostly.

I promise it won't interfere

with any of your current data.

Once you leave Concordia, you

can deactivate the firewall.

We are being watched, aren't we?

Firewall installed.

Consider yourself one

of us now. Follow me.

Thea.

Ms Ericksen.

Juliane. Nice to meet you.

- You, too.

- Please.

A.J. Oba, our chief

technology officer.

He is responsible for the AI

system that runs Concordia.

And Mathilde, our lead data scientist

working with A.J. at Concordia HQ.

- Nice to meet you.

- You, too.

Please.

I'm sorry your first visit

to Concordia is under such

terrible circumstances.

In my job, I rarely see a

place at its finest hour.

I don't see why a m*rder outside town

limits should reflect badly on us.

No, but the timing of the m*rder

does have Fatemah concerned.

The Kopwitz launch is soon.

There's also the fact that Oliver

Miller worked at Concordia HQ.

He was an analyst, entry level.

Concordia operates on machine learning

to codify and predict behaviour?

Yes.

The original Concordia system

could recognise criminal activity.

My algorithm can predict it.

The only surveillance footage

we see is footage of concern,

showing a resident, who may be

at risk to themselves or others,

or need our help and support.

That's why we created

the Court of Review,

which can grant us access to the footage

for our residents in an emergency.

We applied to the court for footage

from the last month of Oliver's life.

To go back any further than

that, we would need to reapply.

The Gothenburg police have asked

to see the footage as well.

It'd be best if we review it

before sharing anything with them.

Particularly as data protection

is key to your business model.

The footage could be key to

finding out who k*lled Oliver.

As it happened

outside Concordia

I'm not suggesting

withholding the footage,

just delaying a few hours, so

we can stay ahead of the curve.

We need to find out

what happened to Oliver,

for his family's sake and for the

sake of everyone who came to Concordia

with personal safety in mind.

We also need to make sure that

we are not releasing any footage

that compromises Oliver's

or anyone else's privacy.

Notify the police that we

will review it as we go

and pass along anything we think

could be helpful to the investigation.

- You must be Thea. Azeem Mahmoud.

- Hi.

I'll be upstairs.

Azeem is the officer assigned

to Oliver and his mother

when they first

arrived in Concordia.

Doesn't happen with

every family I settle,

but with Oliver and his mother

Cathy I've remained close.

- Can I talk to her?

- This afternoon.

Shall we?

The Millers moved here

after Oliver's father died.

He already experienced

serious bullying

and then he withdrew

even more to cope.

- They were looking for an antidote.

- Did they find it here? In Concordia?

We all thought so.

He started out in our social

support programme, soon flourished,

graduated in computing, then

recommended for a role at Concordia HQ.

A success story, by any measure.

Until yesterday.

This was provided by

the Gothenburg police,

who were the first to arrive.

According to forensics, he was

k*lled with two g*nsh*t wounds.

Very close range.

One to the chest

and one to the head.

He had no criminal

history, no drug use.

Generally nothing of

concern, nothing to explain

such a violent death.

But something brought him to

the woods outside Concordia.

Something that got him k*lled.

Have you heard anything

from Andersson?

- Oskar!

- We need to talk.

Okay, sure.

Thea, this is Oskar Eklund, the lead

investigator for the Swedish police.

Thea Ryan, who's overseeing

the investigation

for the investment

fund behind Concordia.

I mean right now.

In private.

I'll just take a look around.

What is it?

I'm told Concordia won't

release the footage.

The court needs to approve before

we can release any footage.

This is a m*rder investigation.

We're losing time.

You'll see it as soon

as possible. I promise.

Call me.

As soon as it's approved.

What was that about?

He's upset we're

withholding the footage.

He doesn't like being

in the passenger seat.

Thought this was

your first case?

I studied criminology and had a

work-study with the Gothenburg police.

- Oskar headed up the programme.

- So you have a little cop in you?

Not enough to make

a career out of it,

but when the job opened up

in Concordia, I took it.

- It's better to

- prevent crime than solve it, I know.

You really believe

in this, don't you?

I do. This way. Come.

I

I think I'm still

struggling to understand

Of course. It's okay, Cathy.

We're doing everything we

can to get you answers.

I I told the police

everything I know.

You know him, Azeem maybe

better than I did in some ways.

No one would want to k*ll him.

We've asked permission to

review Oliver's footage.

And once we have

We all do things in private.

Things we might not

want people to know.

Not just strangers, people

we know, people we

people we love.

No one will see it who

doesn't have to, Cathy.

What we're asking you is

if you want to

know what we find?

I want to know the truth

about what happened.

But

were there parts of his life that

he wouldn't have wanted to share?

That he had to figure

out for himself?

I'm sure there were.

So

if you see something that can help

you find out what happened to him

and you need to tell me,

fine.

If not

please let me remember my

son through my own eyes.

after being cleared by police,

the activists vowed to return

unless the city took

more aggressive action

against climate change.

Concordia, the AI-powered surveillance

utopia has been hit by its first m*rder.

Early this morning, a body was found

just outside Concordia town limits

and outside the view

of Concordia's cameras.

The victim identified

as Oliver Miller

is said to have been an AI

analyst at the town headquarters.

We will keep you posted

as the story develops.

Please be ready! We're

boarding shortly!

I hear you and A.J. go way back.

We studied machine

learning together.

Although A.J. started

out in game theory,

but eventually he saw the light.

Shall we?

Actually, I originally created a code

to identify tells in poker players.

Reading faces wasn't my forte,

so I tried to create

something to read their minds.

The AI system of Concordia is definitely

a more ambitious application than poker.

Much higher stakes, too.

I'll cue up the footage.

So, this is R&C,

Review and Confirm.

If the system detects a potential

violation, it sends an alert.

Then someone from

R&C takes a look,

checks to see if it's a

true cause for concern.

Oliver worked here?

He did.

Did anyone question the

people Oliver worked with?

Oskar did just

before you arrived.

Oliver kept to himself mostly. He wasn't

particularly close to any of them.

We got the go ahead from the court

to review the first month of footage.

We've had the system go through

it. 24 hours a day, every day.

Nothing turned up.

But we thought it was important

to show you how the system works.

Anytime you want to

punch in, let me know.

Punch in?

Punch in like this.

- Do you want coffee?

- No, thanks.

Okay.

The system didn't

pick up anything?

Anything at all suspicious?

No Nothing was flagged.

Well, we need to go

back further then.

How far back do you want to go?

A year. We need to speed this up

and another month won't cut it.

We'll make another

request to the court.

Thea, this drive has Oliver's

surveillance footage on it.

It's firewalled, but the software

will work with your computer.

When more footage is cleared, bring

it back to me and we'll update it.

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

our ferry will reach its

destination very soon.

Please return back to your cars

and make sure that you have all

your personal belongings with you.

Thank you very much

for choosing us today.

We wish you a pleasant

onward journey.

f*ck. We're almost out of fuel.

Wait here, okay?

I'll buy some pepperoni sticks.

Spicy for you and mild for me.

They'll still make my mouth

burn, so probably some milk, too.

And ketchup chips.

Ketchup chips?

Okay.

Prescription. Swear.

Here you go.

74.80.

Bye.

Putain!

- There are no cameras, I checked.

- We can't be certain, Elodie.

There's no one here.

- What about you? You went in.

- Yeah, because I had to.

They're not looking

for me. Not yet.

There's a plan.

We just need to follow it.

Do you understand?

Okay. So, come on, please.

Wait.

- Hi, Talon, what you got?

- Hey.

Well, we're just calling to say

goodnight from the little guy.

And hello from the big guy.

- Say goodnight to Mummy.

- Goodnight, Mummy.

Goodnight, sweetie, sleep well.

Alright, enough playing. Go

brush your teeth. Let's go!

So, how's

Cam-cordia?

Been working on that all day?

Not all day, I had some

calls with clients.

I did my best.

Seriously, how is it?

Not what I expected.

People really believe in this.

Well, you have to say

that though, don't you?

Aren't they watching you?

- Signal if you need help.

- You're such an idiot.

- What's she like?

- Who?

- The big dog.

- Juliane?

As impressive in person

as she is in public?

I've only met her once, so I'm

still getting my read of her.

I can only comment from afar,

but you don't make the cover

of The Times if you're not.

She wears it pretty easily.

Famous and friendly:

oldest trick in the book.

Makes people believe they're

one of us, but they're not.

We'll see. Jury's still out.

Daddy? Daddy!

Well, I guess I should go.

I'll call you tomorrow, okay?

- Same time?

- Same time. Ciao ciao.

I'm coming! I'm coming!

What's going on here?

What's going on here?

Okay, it's time

to go to bed now.

Time to go to bed.

You know that.

Okay.

Arms under the quilt.

No turning on the light.

Yes.

- No reading.

- Yes.

- And fall sleep straight away.

- Yes.

Okay. Goodnight, little man.

Sweet dreams.

John?

No, it's Alex.

Veronica, it's Alex.

Where's John?

John's gone. You know that.

Gone?

Yes.

When's he coming back?

Maybe in the morning.

Come on.

Come on, it's late.

Thea doesn't like it when

her father stays out so late.

She worries about him.

Tell her not to worry.

I will.

Goodnight.

I thought I might find you here.

Dinner. It was tonight.

- It was.

- I'm so sorry. I forgot all about it.

- Would you mind if we rescheduled?

- Not at all.

I know how busy you are.

It's not about being busy.

Should we be worried?

I don't know.

Who's handling the case?

The Gothenburg police and

Isabelle from our side.

Is that wise?

She's on top of it.

We'll get through this.

You'll be there tomorrow?

If you want me to.

Always.

Tomorrow, then.

Tomorrow, then.

- Hello?

- Isabelle, I think we have something.

The system picked up a

series of overnight trips,

triggered by an

alarm on his phone.

This clip was the first

time he went out overnight:

five months ago.

Yeah, nice. Suck on that.

- I thought you were covering me.

- No He gets out the way every time.

No.

Wait. Okay, now, go, go, go.

No, no, no.

The alarm made his heart race.

Blood pressure rose, too.

Elevated heart rate, BP,

washing himself.

A girl, maybe?

One minute. Let me

see what I can find.

- Please tell me you slept last night.

- A full eight hours. I promise.

In the last five months,

Oliver Miller made

16 out-of-town trips.

Leaving Concordia at 10

pm and back at 6-6.30 am.

Any idea where he went?

Can you send this?

No, he headed north and

every journey was 140-145 km.

Okay.

Can you send me dates, times?

And the car make and model?

Thanks. Hey, one more thing

He used a car share service. He probably

had a different car for every trip.

And when cars leave town,

the AI stops tracking.

Fantastic.

We cleared Oliver's footage, if

you want to come take a look?

I'll leave that to you.

We'll keep working our end.

But let me know if you

find anything, okay?

And make sure you get some

sleep. You sound like sh*t.

You're lucky you can't see me.

This is his entire dating

history for the last year.

He met them all on dating apps.

So four dates total.

The first three dates

were uneventful.

The fourth date, though, it

showed different data readings.

Nothing that was

flagged, but take a look.

Do you like outdoor stuff?

- Outdoor stuff?

- Yeah.

Like doing stuff outdoors.

Like hiking and stuff?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do.

- Do you?

- Yeah, yeah, big time.

Maybe we could do

that on our next date.

Or we could do something else

if you don't like hiking.

We could do something

cooler, like surfing.

You like surfing?

Yeah, I do.

Wait. Did I tell you

that I surf on the app?

I can't remember.

I think you had a picture

of you surfing, right?

- No.

- You must have said, then.

No.

I have to go to the bathroom.

Okay.

f*cking

f*cking idiot.

f*cking idiot.

She looks spooked.

If we want to get to the bottom

of this, we have to talk to her.

She hasn't been logged

by the system for months.

It looks like she no

longer lives in Concordia.

- Where is she now?

- Seems she moved to Gothenburg.

A month after her

date with Oliver.

His late-night excursions.

Could he have been

driving to see her?

I don't like the sound of

that. We need to talk to her.

Am am I in trouble? Because

I only met the guy once.

It's him we're interested in. We think

you might be able to help us with that.

You remember your date with him?

Did something happen?

He knew too much about

me. It didn't feel right.

On on the dating app,

he kept talking about music

that I also happened to like.

So at first it seemed like

we had similar tastes.

But?

But then he showed up and he

started talking about surfing.

That that he was

interested in it.

I mean, we're in Sweden.

There's no open ocean.

I've never met anyone who surfs

here. Nobody would suggest that.

Did he tell you he

worked at Concordia HQ?

Yeah.

Look, I went back over our

conversations, my profile.

There was nothing about surfing.

I don't have social media. I searched

my name online. There was nothing.

So call it paranoia

or whatever

but the thought

landed in my head

about him working there.

We had only moved to Concordia

a couple of years before

and it took me a while

to forget about cameras.

Eventually you do,

but then how did he

I mean, my parents

said it was impossible,

but

I just felt really

weird after that.

Everywhere I went, I

wondered if I was being

watched.

There was an HAR on Anna Perillo

for suspected drug dealing.

HAR?

Human Activity Review.

When the system flags a

potential infraction or issue,

it's reviewed by human eyes.

Who did the review?

Oliver Miller.

- Can you bring the clip up?

- Yeah.

I can't remember if it was two years or

three years ago, something like this.

I was in university and there were,

like, a lot of classes I liked,

but in the end

So where is this drug deal?

Maybe it's farther in.

that I was interested in.

I decided to pick the

first one and it was short,

but like, challenging

- Any other flagged clips for Perillo?

- There's another a few days later.

And who reviewed that?

Also Oliver.

I don't get it. Why would the

system flag this for drugs?

There's nothing going on.

Did anyone else

review any of these?

No.

If Oliver had found something, he'd

have had to bring it to his supervisor.

His supervisor would

have brought it to me.

So what happened with these?

He dismissed them

as false alerts.

They didn't get

forwarded up the line.

Two false alerts for the same

person, so close together,

reviewed by the same analyst.

He must have planted something

to trigger the system,

so he could spy on

the women he dated.

If he did manage to figure

it out for one of the women,

I think we have to assume

he did it for all of them.

And for anyone else

he wanted to spy

on in Concordia.
