Powered by AI surveillance, Concordia is the town of the future and on the verge of expansion when twin catastrophes strike: the first ever m*rder and a hack of its AI tech.

01x04 - Geheimnisse

Post by bunniefuu »

We were inside the house. He was

in the backyard in the treehouse.

He fell from the

ladder, hit his head.

He was unconscious and

we didn't hear a thing.

To think how long he'd have been there,

if the cameras hadn't raised an alert.

With my condition any

infection is scary,

but how it works here

is the AI monitors viral

loads in the community.

If the risk is high, I'm notified

and given professional advice.

You see, I had these abdominal

pains. It was stomach cancer.

The AI spotted it. The system is

keeping an eye out for any signs,

even ones that I might not see.

When I came to Concordia,

I was pregnant.

I was immediately provided

with a prenatal scan.

They noticed some abnormalities

which they had prepared for.

It was a level of care that I could

have never imagined or afforded.

We both work. We

don't make a lot.

But here in Concordia, it's more

than enough for us to provide.

There are no private schools.

Everyone gets the same education.

Concordia offered me free day care, so

I could finish school and find work.

If they want to go to university

or pursue a craft or trade,

the town offers to pay the cost.

It doesn't matter

where you live

- how old you are

- where you're from

in Concordia, there is nothing

to keep you from your potential.

I'm not naive, Fatemah.

I've been to your world. I

know how venture capital works.

But we shouldn't

be finding out now.

I put money into a facial

recognition software company.

My ex-husband and I

should have known better

and done more due diligence.

He decided to license the

technologies to entities

I would have never

agreed to work with:

intelligence agencies and

regimes with a poor track record.

I pulled out immediately.

But my name was still

on all the paperwork.

And this was?

25 years ago.

I decided then and there, I would not

pursue this type of money ever again.

And I haven't.

So that's what we say. We'll tell

them exactly what happened and why.

No.

I think we can put all of

this to bed once and for all.

We make everything public.

Show the world we

have nothing to hide.

Every investor, every cent, open books

on our website for the world to see.

Whether they meant to or not, the

Faceless have done us a favour.

Who's there?

Open it.

Shh. It's okay. It's okay.

Concordia's first m*rder, a data leak

from within the Amin Family Trust

has exposed damaging details

about the source of

Concordia's finances.

The leak has raised questions

about the true intent

concrete data and fast.

For now, analysis

seems satisfied that

Morning. You made it.

You had me drugged.

What the f*ck?

Precautions.

Where's Tessa?

She'll be back.

Yeah, but where is she?

Is she supposed to tell

you everywhere she goes?

I need to get a

message to my dad.

Or at least find out how he is.

You have people who

can do that, right?

Their eyes will be on places they

expect us to let our guard down.

- Loved ones, friends

- No, I really need this.

Please.

Please.

I'll take care of it.

Thank you.

What am I meant to do

until Tessa gets back?

Just relax.

You're safe now.

How will the investors react?

Honestly, I don't know.

Oliver Miller's m*rder,

the hack and now this.

It may be that some

investors will withdraw.

Then what?

We will return their

investments in full.

But before we do that, we

are going on the offensive.

Some younger party members are

pressuring for a new referendum.

You have to do what

is best for Kopwitz.

If you need a re-vote, I

won't stand in your way.

We can turn to another city.

Of course, it will delay

Concordia's expansion.

But I also want our

first sister city

to be a willing partner.

Okay. Let's talk again

after the press conference.

Like I said when the police

came in, Oliver was super quiet.

- We kept to our screens.

- No after-work drinks, gatherings?

Some of us would go for drinks

sometimes, but never Oliver.

So he never hung out with

anyone here? During breaks even?

Well, the only person I can

think of is Chester Pappas.

They occasionally

had the same shifts.

I sometimes saw them

on breaks together.

Look, I don't think anyone

here really knew Oliver.

That's the honest

truth. Not even Chester.

- Is Chester working today?

- He didn't come in.

I didn't ask, but I figured

he went to Oliver's funeral.

It's today.

I had no idea this was today.

The family wanted

to keep it private.

Just close friends.

Will you excuse me?

- Chester?

- Yes?

- I know this isn't the best time.

- I told the police everything.

And I'm not accusing

you of anything.

I'm just trying to find

out more about Oliver.

Did you notice anything strange

in the weeks before his death

in his behaviour?

He was trying to get out

there more, you know.

Meet people.

Girls.

We both were, actually,

but he was more determined.

He really wanted

to be different.

He hated, you know,

being shy or whatever.

He started doing it

for a bit, for a while.

Okay.

I was a little

jealous, if I'm honest.

He seemed like he had changed.

But then he kind of went back

to the way he was: quiet.

He didn't want to talk.

When was this?

Maybe a month before he died.

Any idea why?

No.

Did he improve?

Kind of. He seemed

jittery for a while.

Just a bit edgy. I thought

he was just being moody.

But then, in the days

before he died, he

He almost seemed relieved.

Thank you.

When you say anyone

can see this list,

where will I find it?

On our website as

of this morning.

I can promise you,

there is not a single cent from any

military or governmental agency.

Not for Concordia here in Sweden

or for the German city of Kopwitz.

- And the ledgers will prove this?

- They will.

I encourage anyone with a

single doubt to take a look.

When Juliane first spoke to me

about her vision of this utopia,

a new kind of city, greener, safer,

more equal and with total privacy,

well, I knew I had

to be a part of it.

20 years on, it's become much

more than we originally imagined.

And the leak itself?

Who was behind that?

A group of anti-establishment

extremists.

The group, we have

reason to believe,

is guilty of the m*rder

of Oliver Miller,

a beloved member of the

Concordia community.

Clearly, we cannot bow in

the face of intimidation.

Especially not in

the face of violence.

So, the German

launch is proceeding?

Without any hesitation.

Of course, it will take Kopwitz a

few years to be fully transformed,

but the beginnings of our Concordia

system are already in place.

Regeneration of housing

is ready to start,

as is the reclaiming

of green spaces.

It'll all commence as planned

after the official launch.

To the fears of another China

or North Korea, you say

That we are not creating another

totalitarian surveillance state.

No.

While being realistic

to the modern world,

we are doing everything we can

to prevent that exact scenario.

Thank you to you both.

This was the exclusive interview with

Juliane Ericksen and Fatemah Amin

for EBC News.

For EBC News.

That's it?

Is there any reaction at all?

Online? Anywhere?

They they just

shrugged it off.

Again.

Nobody f*cking cares.

I gave everything for this.

Everything.

Where the f*ck is Tessa?

What do you expect her to do?

Tessa is out in the field

and that's where she works.

Fortifying our ranks.

What does that mean?

She specialises in recruitment.

Recruitment?

She doesn't do what they do.

She isn't behind the screen.

We need her out in the field,

guiding more people

to the cause.

Like she recruited me?

f*ck.

That was a few days ago?

Yes. After crossing into Denmark, we can

assume this is their route into Germany.

Where do you think

they're likely to be?

Likely gone underground

elsewhere in Leipzig.

But I know what you're thinking.

Kopwitz is just a stone's throw away.

- That was Thea's concern.

- You feel confident with our timelines?

I wouldn't say confident. But

things always tend to work out.

We'll let you know if

we pick up more signals

and if the German police

or Interpol come back.

Yeah, I wouldn't hold

my breath for them.

You should have told me when

I first came to you about him.

I can't celebrate now.

I can't do this, Juliane.

I feel like I am drowning

under the weight of it.

Peter, please.

There must be a way to

tell the truth without

- Hi, hi, hi!

- Come on, Talon.

Hi.

- Oh my God.

- Thank you.

Saw the news. How is it going?

The usual evolving tangle.

- Are you okay?

- The odd palpitation.

- How far is the town?

- Five minutes.

Okay, so I've got about five minutes

to delete all the nudes off my phone.

Don't be crazy. Five

minutes isn't enough time.

Come on, Talon, let's go.

Bring your bag to Mummy's car.

There's a beetle, Daddy.

I saw a bunch of

beetles on my

Come on, Tal.

Come on.

Does this mean you can spy

me even when you're not here?

- That's exactly what it means.

- Really, Mummy?

- Yeah.

- Even if I'm hiding?

Well, maybe if you

hide really well.

Okay, then.

- Sorry to love you and leave you, but

- It's fine. Turn your phone back on.

Come and find me.

Lift off's just around the

corner, then it's just us.

One request.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Do you think we can have a little

time later to reconnect?

The thought of it is what's

getting me through today.

- Really?

- Really.

Bye, Tal. See you later.

Hiding.

After much thought

I feel that we are in

need of some change.

I think it's time for me to

step down from the board.

This is not an easy decision.

But we all know that the future of

Concordia's healthcare lies in the AI.

I'd recommend that A.J. takes my seat

and my role leading the initiative.

The project needs

him more than me.

- Peter, maybe we can find a way to

- My mind's made up.

I'm looking forward to having more time

to spend with my practice actually.

I'm so sorry.

Oskar?

Hi.

You know

What is it? Are you okay?

I'm fine. But

- But what?

- The Oliver Miller investigation

Yeah?

- We're closing it.

- Closing it?

My superiors are satisfied

with the Faceless theory.

- They're handing the case to Interpol.

- We need more time.

I know

But it's out of my hands now.

We're overstretched and I've

been assigned a new case.

I'm sorry, Isabelle.

Heard about Peter.

Yeah, he'll be missed, given how key

he was in making Concordia happen.

A.J. is more than qualified

to sit on the board.

Mathilde's taking

on his HQ workload.

She was due promotion, so it's

great she'll be getting a chance.

Are you okay?

The Gothenburg police are turning

the case over to Interpol.

But aren't they better

equipped to handle it?

I guess.

Izzi?

It was Oliver Miller's

funeral today.

Sorry, I didn't know.

I can't help but think we

failed Oliver and his mother.

They believed in us, in Concordia.

We should have been there for him.

He didn't want us to find out.

He made sure we didn't know.

Knowing is what we do.

Look, the system is not

perfect. We know that now.

The best way to make it right

for his mother, for everyone

is to make sure that

it never happens again.

Okay?

- Hi. Sorry, I was

- I know where you were.

So, you're my handler?

Is that what this is?

I didn't hook up with

you because of Oliver.

We met and then I trusted you.

You expressed similar beliefs, so I

told you who I was, what I was part of.

I thought we were

in this together.

- I didn't think you were using me.

- I was not using you.

I'd never use you.

Everything I said was true.

If this never went the way

it did, I would still want

I would still want

to be with you.

How long do we

have to stay here?

I don't know. They're

working on it.

We're in this together, Elodie.

Do you not believe that?

Talon!

Is he okay running

around like that?

You see anyone else worried?

Well, I don't see any

kids as reckless as Talon.

- Fork meets socket.

- Relax. Trust me.

Yeah.

You're not hungry?

- Just checking.

- I'm snacking loads, promise.

You should be more worried about

the amount of sugar I'm consuming.

Listen, I know you've got a lot on,

but is it okay if I ask you to

to be with me just for a moment?

Yes?

Yes.

I'm sorry. My head is just

spinning with everything going on.

I know I've been sh*t recently.

I'm gonna make it up to you.

Well, actually it's

funny you say that,

because there's something

I want to ask you.

I want us to move to

France, close to my family.

We could use the help and

my parents miss Talon, so

What about Mum?

- Well, they have facilities.

- Facilities?

Yes, I mean like nurses

who can visit at home.

I can't keep up anymore.

We need a professional.

I need to be able to

focus on my work more.

I feel like I'm

always falling behind.

And more importantly, I don't

have a community in London.

I've tried, but

it's hard for me.

And I'm I feel it

now more than ever.

Hey, I'm

I'm not asking you

to give up anything.

I would never do that.

I know how important your work

is to you, but I need more.

Support, community, fulfilment.

I need a proper base to

build from, you know.

I didn't know you were

thinking about this.

I'm sorry I didn't notice.

You don't have to

answer right now.

And I'm open to ideas of

how to make it work, but

things can't stay as they are.

That's all I'm saying.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Mathilde?

- We got an alert for Peter Blom again.

Peter? What is he doing?

I wish I could tell you what

the microphones are picking up,

but it's not making sense.

- Where is he?

- At the memorial.

The memorial? What is he doing?

- He's just pacing.

- Selfish, so selfish.

Peter's data readings: they're

higher than they've been before.

Okay, sh*t. I'll

I'll go check on him.

- I can get someone else.

- No, no, no, it's fine. Thank you.

- It's Peter.

- I heard. What's going on?

It's a distress alert.

He's at the memorial.

No, no. Stay. Let me.

I was there today. Maybe he'll

open up to me a bit more.

I wasn't sleeping anyway.

Could do with some fresh air.

Besides, you need some rest.

The hours you're putting in.

Actually, we all need

you to rest. Okay?

Okay.

- Peter.

- What?

I'm surprised it's you.

Well, they called Isabelle.

I said I'd come.

It's a bit worrying

you out here at this time.

Just clearing my head.

I thought you had

running for that.

Yeah. It's not quite

cutting it anymore.

There's nothing

left for me here.

That's not true, Peter.

That is just not true.

Wait. Wait.

All I ever wanted was

to support your mother.

And you have. You always have.

I'm sure stepping

down wasn't easy.

I know how invested

you are in Concordia.

But it was brave of you

to make that decision.

And my mother respects you

for it. Yes, we all do.

- We all respect you for that.

- You do, do you?

I can't look myself

in the mirror anymore.

Because you're being

too hard on yourself.

I could have made it

better for both of us.

It's all good.

It's all good.

But she wouldn't let me.

Let me walk you home. Come on.

For me.

Hey.

Just consider it a

favour. I'm up anyway.

- What happened to Oliver's files?

- We restricted access to them.

- Why?

- The police investigation is closed.

But not the internal one.

That's not for you to worry

about. HQ will handle that.

- Who signed off on this?

- I did.

Unless Interpol needs

access, the files are sealed.

- Mrs Miller, forgive

- What on earth do you want with me now?

- I'm so sorry.

- Bad enough you were at his service.

Now they're saying you

know who his K*llers are

and you can't catch them.

I am so sorry we weren't able

to protect you and your son.

But I'm only here to

find out the truth.

And I need your help.

Did you notice anything different

about him, right before it happened?

He did come over more than

usual in the last few weeks.

He didn't say why and

I didn't ask.

I was just glad

that he came over.

Nothing that changed in

his life that you know of?

Nothing I was aware of.

He seemed

He seemed happy.

I guess that's what a

mother wants to see.

He didn't want to talk, so

I left him be. I

didn't want to intrude.

We'd make some dinner

and we'd eat together

and then I'd go into the

den and watch some TV

and he'd play video games

on his old computer.

He used to always tease me

about the TV shows I'd watch,

so it was fine with me that

he'd play games in his old room.

It was

It was just nice

to have him near.

Can I take a look at that

computer in his room?

Mrs Miller?

- Yes?

- Was your son ever a patient of Dr Blom?

Dr Blom?

No.

No. He saw Azeem.

Noah mentored him for a while.

Other than that

just his school counsellor.

That was it.

Sorry to bother you.

I wanted to speak to your

grandfather, Edvin Claesson.

- Sorry, I'm Isabelle

- Larsson.

My grandparents aren't home.

Do you know when

they'll be back?

No, I don't.

I'll leave my number. If your

grandfather could call me

Hello?

What?

- What happened?

- He swam out, weighed down with rocks.

You came to see me.

What do you want?

Well

I wanted to talk to you

about Oliver Miller.

The boy who was k*lled.

He was researching what

happened with Jesper and

How Jesper was Peter

Blom's patient before

Before

Just say it. The

school sh**ting.

Peter wrote to me.

Wanted to meet.

I wasn't sure, but

I agreed to it.

When was this?

We were supposed to meet last

night, but he didn't turn up.

Peter took his own life today.

It was a great burden

for him to carry.

How he failed Jesper

My grandson.

Those memories

come rushing back.

Even after all these years

The past is echoing

very loud tonight.
