What is important to me?
Being around the people I love.
Togetherness.
Openness. Expressing myself.
What is important to me? Being encouraged to be whoever I want to be.
Being supported in my choices.
- Inclusion. - Opportunities.
Equality.
There are no second-class citizens here.
It's a level playing field,
no matter where you come from, what you believe.
How you choose to live your life or who you love.
We do our part as humans. We look out for each other.
It's about protecting our rights
to personal choice and to personal freedom.
We're individuals in charge of our destinies.
And we're a community, making sure every individual choice is respected.
A community that truly cares about equality, about combatting prejudice.
A community that does more than say it does.
It's not just words.
The town runs cultural exchanges.
So we better understand each other's beginnings and perspectives.
In Concordia, people are very interested to know about my belief and religion.
They want to know more about me.
Public holidays and town events
represent all our cultures and religions.
They encourage us to come together to celebrate each other.
Our culture is the foundation of our community,
furthering everything we hold dearest.
It's a community like I...
Like we've never experienced before.
What's it like living in Concordia in one word?
- In one word? - Secured.
- Protected. - Hopeful.
Cameras or no cameras, care for others is above all else.
Cut the power, for fuck's sake! Cut the power.
Disconnect the main, Ole!
You've put me in an impossible position. How can we move forward from this?
The referendum only passed with a narrow majority.
I've been fighting fires and defending criticism of the rollout from all sides.
I've staked my entire political career on this.
I've had protesters deface my home.
Hanna, we did not know
that Oliver sent private data out of Concordia.
What do you need from us?
Answers.
Who is responsible? How did they breach the system? Are they still in there?
We are days away from launching.
There's no way I can allow that to happen as it stands.
To allow the people of Kopwitz to walk into a place
that is not capable of protecting them
or their data would be unconscionable.
We need to postpone the launch.
For all of us, yourself included...
Give us till tomorrow. If we haven't satisfied you by then, we'll postpone.
Tomorrow.
No later.
Who saw the simulcast?
Only our immediate Concordia leadership team.
What about the technicians at the simulcast test?
They're bound by NDAs.
- If they break them? - If we act fast, it's containable.
We cross-referenced the systems' logs.
None of the data is recent. It's all from months ago.
That doesn't mean whoever's behind the simulcast hack doesn't have more.
Seems unlikely. If they had recent footage, they'd have used it.
They could have sunk Kopwitz then and there.
We were wrong not to go to Hanna with what we discovered.
For which I blame myself as much as anyone around this table.
We will not make the same mistake again.
Find out if the system is secure and what the solution is if it's not.
If you don't have an answer to both those questions by first thing tomorrow,
we are going out to our people here in Concordia.
We need to move beyond the corporate competitor theory.
- Based on? - Why hijack the simulcast test?
It's showy. Corporate espionage is discreet, so they can carry on doing it.
And we still have no evidence of Oliver receiving any funding.
Maybe he was killed to avoid payment.
Or this is more ideological.
Whatever it is, his actions show serious motivation.
Oliver graduated from watching private moments to stealing data and sharing it.
The question is, who else is involved?
We're almost out.
Food, too.
Yeah. I don't think we'll go thirsty.
If we had fishing rods, we could live here forever.
Yeah.
Radioactive fish and tree leaves... Sounds great.
I know what you're going to say.
- Oh, do you? - Yeah.
- You don't understand. - I do.
Tessa, he's my Dad.
I know, I know.
But we can't, obviously, not until things...
I was meant to be there to help him.
And I just didn't show up.
Now he's waiting for the operation
and he's probably seeing my face on TV.
The police would have called him.
What if he thinks I did it?
What if he thinks I'm some sort of killer?
What if that's the last thought he has about me?
No. No. Elodie, that's not going to happen.
Well, you don't know that, though, do you?
You can't, I can't, nobody can.
I got Oliver killed, Tessa.
He didn't deserve to die.
No, you didn't...
We, we did not do... We did not do that.
Well, we did.
You, me, we all got him killed, so...
Can you look at me, please? Hey.
Hey, Elodie, look at me.
It's not your fault. Okay?
It's not. Don't think that.
Okay?
It's gonna be okay.
Shit, look.
Fuck. Let's go.
You don't want to see if he has an extra rod, so we can stay?
Hilarious.
You had to go on a walk for a call? I can't hear anything.
The sound of the streets clears my head.
You're so pretentious, Marco.
Thea, did you just call to criticise my lifestyle or can I help you?
Have you picked up anything? Any chatter on the simulcast? The hack?
There has been a buzz about something that could be connected to Concordia.
It'll be the simulcast. Word is spreading.
Online, online, yeah.
But most of these people don't talk to anyone IRL.
I mean, I would know. This is the first conversation I've had all day.
So...
Let me just dig in a bit deeper and see what I can find.
Focus on anti-surveillance groups, probably in Germany,
ideologically opposed to the expansion project.
There's bound to be some loose talk that'll lead us to a source.
Yeah, I'm already hanging outside some of those circles, so yeah.
I need specifics, Marco, and as fast as you can get them to me.
So get back to your computer.
I am at my computer, Thea.
I swear to you, I didn't know what it was.
I do tech for concerts, keynotes.
I'm not some hacker.
The malware behind the hack was on your computer.
Yes, I know that. I know that, but...
The malware wasn't mine.
Why would I leave a trail?
Did you leave your computer unattended?
Never.
It's with me at work, at home.
Right now, we're running checks on your online history.
If you ever so much as brushed shoulders with Oliver Miller
or anyone he was ever in contact with, we'll find it.
You know that, right?
I swear to you, there isn't anything to find.
Check my phone, check my laptop, check anything you want.
Please, I didn't do anything.
- Thea. - Thanks.
- Noah, I need to talk to you. - Sure.
I want to propose something.
- A system shutdown of Concordia. - What?
- If the system were offline, we'd... - A.J.
- ...find and fix any holes much faster. - A.J., stop.
You know that's not possible. We can't shut the system down.
Our residents rely on it.
Yeah, but what do you think could really happen, though?
If they had to do things like we do on the outside for 24 hours?
Are Concordians a system shutdown away from a riot?
- Of course not. - A panic?
We don't know. That's the point.
It's the engine to everything, what makes Concordia Concordia.
Some may not be bothered. Others would feel isolated or threatened.
And it's not for any of us to comment on or judge that.
A shutdown is not an option. End of story.
This is on you, A.J. He hacked your system.
Fix it.
Stop fucking around.
Azeem, I have a minute now, if you'd like to talk.
You know we adopted our daughter Adila from back home.
But I never gave you the full story.
She is the daughter of my cousin.
It was an unplanned pregnancy. She was unwed.
Syria can be a hard place to grow up.
Unforgiving.
But for an unmarried woman...
with a child...
and no family to support her...
Her life would have been impossible.
An abortion was not an option,
not something my cousin considered.
We got her out long enough to have the child.
I wanted her to leave, like I did,
but she returned home to take care of her parents.
So, we brought the child here
to Concordia.
We are on camera all the time here.
We speak freely like everyone does
about our life, Adila, her mother...
When I think about someone getting that footage,
my family finding out about my cousin, our daughter...
I can't help but fear what people might say.
What they might do.
No matter what it takes, Azeem,
I promise you
you, your cousin, your daughter,
none of you will be forced to consider that reality.
It will not happen.
Ole's been cleared. The malware must have been planted.
Any idea by who?
Well, Elodie was involved with someone else.
We got an image from the CCTV outside their dorm.
And it did lead me to... this.
A criminal file for Tessa Vogel, 26, from Düsseldorf.
Arrested at multiple far-left protests.
And more recently, an associate of the anti-surveillance group...
the Faceless.
Along with the usual hacker classics,
doxxing, DDoS attacks and data leaks,
the Faceless have taken credit for high-profile hacks,
like hacking companies who sold surveillance tech to the US government.
So they're behind the breach?
Looks like it. My guy's decrypting their comms channels.
They mention the simulcast hack.
And do we think the Faceless are behind Oliver's murder?
It's hard not to feel it's connected. These women are running for a reason.
- Are Gothenburg police pursuing this? - We all are. It's the leading theory.
We still have one fundamental question to answer: are they still in the system?
I want to propose a full system shutdown.
We talked about this.
If we can fortify the system offline, we'd know no one could access it.
To shut down with Germany already having doubts would threaten the whole project.
- We do not need any more jeopardy here. - We could do it quietly.
No, quietly is not an option.
But I think we can use this to our advantage.
If a shutdown goes well, we can show them the Concordia experiment works.
That we really have created a tolerant, safe home.
Noah, help me draft an announcement for our residents.
I don't think it should come from you.
Juliane, everyone knows you care,
but they don't come to you with their problems.
They come to us community officers or we go to them.
- You're right. - I think it should be Azeem.
He gave up a life to come, like many residents.
So their experiences, their anxieties... He knows it better than the rest of us.
I'll ask him.
I know the last 24 hours haven't been easy for him.
Dear fellow citizens of Concordia.
The system is not perfect.
No system is.
But it can be improved.
So, while we might never attain perfection,
we will continue to strive for it.
Together we have created a tolerant and safe home,
where everybody is welcomed equally.
But as you know,
not everyone understands why we have chosen that path.
A few days ago, someone tried to get access to our Concordia system.
Nothing serious happened,
but we want to be 100 percent sure.
So we will shut down the whole system
for 24 hours to run a full check.
Yes, we know this is an unsettling situation,
but we have to stay calm.
The breach in the system will be found and corrected.
For the next 24 hours, we will act as Concordia HQ
for our friends, families and neighbours.
We will look out for each other as we've always done.
The system is officially offline.
We will let you get to work then.
Keep us posted.
You alright? You seem distant.
- No, I'm fine. Just tired. - No...
Come on. What is it?
I don't know.
I... I never had any doubts, you know,
but now I feel...
I feel... I can't help it, but I'm anxious all of a sudden.
- You don't feel safe or... - No, it's just...
I wonder what happens if this all were to fall apart.
I don't know.
These questions...
they scare all of us, but falling apart?
It won't happen.
We will never let that happen.
Okay?
Whoa, that's a great ship.
- Thank you. - Well done.
- Goodnight.
Yes.
Close your eyes.
- Goodnight. - Goodnight.
So, how are you getting on?
- I finished. - You finished?
Let's go out, John.
Somewhere nice.
It's late.
It's very late.
You know what? I'll come back in a minute.
We can finish it together, okay?
You found it.
I marked the passage I told you about.
Where is it?
"Things of a day.
What are we and what not?
Man is a..."
- "Anthropos". - "Anthropos".
"A shadow of a dream."
It's lovely.
- Keep it as long as you like. - Thank you.
Was that Greek?
- Yes. - How many languages do you speak?
Just a few.
- You learned them at school? - And you?
No. Bog-standard Irish and English.
Greek was definitely not an option where I went to school.
Well, believe it or not, but there are downsides to an expensive education.
I don't want my children growing up thinking everything is for sale.
Some things, like a good education,
shouldn't be reserved just for the people who can pay for it.
Everyone deserves a chance to make it on their own, I think.
Okay.
Can't believe it.
Someone's been sneaking sweets, hm?
Talon?
Talon!
Shit.
Tal?
Talon! Where are you, little man?
Fuck!
- What are you doing here, little man? - Nana said she wanted to go out.
- Go back upstairs, okay? - Whose door is that?
Don't worry about that, okay? Go upstairs. I'll take care of it.
Veronica.
Let's go back upstairs, okay?
I can't celebrate now.
I can't do this, Juliane.
I feel like I am drowning under the weight of it.
Peter, please.
- I'm gonna make a phone call. - Sure. I'll be here.
There must be a way to tell the truth
without sinking the whole project.
Thea? This is an okay time to talk?
Sure, all okay with Talon and Mum?
Yeah, both are now in bed.
"Now"?
Long story.
- So tell me. - No, no, I'm too tired for this.
Okay. What's going on then?
I don't know, I just...
I should probably wait until I see you, but...
there's never a good time for this stuff.
I'm feeling a...
a bit burnt out.
Not just tonight, it's been this way for a while.
What do you mean?
I guess I feel stuck. I need a change, I think.
It's hard to describe.
Thea, are you okay?
Yeah...
I really want to discuss this, Alex. It's just something is coming in.
Okay.
I really do want to talk about this.
Just the timing is shit. That's not your fault.
Can we talk about this later? Can I call you?
Or can we talk about this when you're here? Really discuss it.
I don't like doing it over the phone.
Sure.
Yeah, I understand. Let's wait.
It's fine.
I love you, Alex.
I can't wait to see you and Talon.
Us, too.
Hey, Marco picked up a signal. I sent you the coordinates.
I've got it up.
Where is she?
Near Leipzig, Germany.
Notify the police there now.
Elodie?
What the fuck are you doing?
I need to know if he's okay.
Sending a message will tell them where we are.
- But it's a burner phone. - What if they're monitoring your father?
I messaged from an anonymous account. Chill.
- Okay, okay... - It's fine. No!
Elodie, you need to give it to me.
I want to meet him.
- You're gonna meet him. - I want to meet him now!
- How can I get him to you now? - Stop saying that!
I need to know what the fuck is going on here.
Okay.
Okay, you're gonna meet him. But I need the phone. Please.
Please give me the phone now.
You're gonna meet him, but I need the phone.
Elodie, please.
- You promise? - I promise.
Elodie... now.
Please.
- We lost them. - Shit.
Go home.
Get some rest.
We'll pick up the fight again tomorrow.
Okay.
We're lucky to have you, Thea.
I just thought you should hear that after a day like today.
- Thea. - Peter.
What are you doing up this early?
I could ask you the same thing.
Well, you know, when I can't sleep, I run down to the lake.
And you? Is this a regular habit of yours?
Working all night? Only during a crisis.
Forgive me, isn't your job always during a crisis?
I suppose so. I like solving problems.
The result of keeping peace in a chaotic childhood home, perhaps?
Do you always do that?
Psychoanalyse your colleagues as if they're your patients?
My turn. AI-supported healthcare. It's a big step for the project.
A lot of pressure.
Do I look stressed?
Maybe a little.
Wouldn't be healthy if I wasn't.
Do you believe in it?
In Genie? Next-gen healthcare?
Not just that.
Concordia, all of it.
Sure.
You don't believe me.
People often say what they think others want to hear.
I don't know you well enough to care what you want to hear.
It's inspiring, the ambition of it all.
See you, Peter.
I thought you might call.
Always one step ahead, Adrian.
- I can guess what this is about. - And you'd be guessing right.
You know of the Faceless?
No. But I can make some calls.
Elodie Cailleux and Tessa Vogel.
Start there.
Alright.
- I'm on it. - Thanks.
We've gone through the system. Searched for backdoors and gaps.
It's clear. No one's inside. We are fully patched up.
And the person who helped facilitate the simulcast hack?
We uncovered a switch that gave the Faceless
a backdoor into the live feed.
How did it get there?
It was on the computer of the electrics engineer for the simulcast.
He was arrested by Gothenburg police and questioned.
He's not involved with the Faceless. He was in the dark.
There must be a way to tell the truth.
I feel like I am drowning under the weight of it.
I did it for you.
No, Peter, you did it for yourself.
Marco's in. What do you need?
I wanna get a message to the Faceless.
Is that something your analyst can do?
Anything is possible. What are you thinking?
I'm going to send you something.
Elodie.
So you're Leon?
Things have taken an unexpected turn.
You are nervous.
I'm not nervous.
I need to know what the fuck is going on.
You need to be patient.
We got you out at a moment's notice. The rest...
It takes time.
What's the rest?
As a worst case, a new identity.
But I promise you, we're thinking of everything.
We're looking out for your interests.
I just need the same from you.
No more mistakes.
Tell me, what did Oliver Miller say to you in the weeks before his death?
He stopped sending you data. Did you ever find out why?
No.
I don't know.
I think something spooked him. He just...
He just retreated, but he... he didn't say why.
I don't know.
Shit.
Leon, you need to see this.
What is it?
If you are watching this,
I hope it is because you are a member of the Faceless.
I grew up in a failed utopia.
The grand ideas of Kant and Marx and socialism had long since perished
in the East Germany I knew as a young girl.
I know what you'll be thinking.
That we're just the Stasi 2.0.
Everywhere else in the world we are surveilled,
and our data is bought and sold by governments and corporations.
Not in Concordia.
Concordia isn't the dystopia you fear it is.
How do we know?
Because we went offline for 24 hours.
With the full knowledge and support of every person here,
every camera was turned off.
And during that time, there was not a single incident.
It's not the cameras, it's not the fear of being watched
that keeps Concordia safe.
It's the life we've created together.
A life of shared values.
So I want to invite you to sit down with me to have a conversation.
And I think you will find we have far more in common
than that which divides us.
Don't fall for her lies, you hear me?
By tomorrow, we will have dragged new truths into the light.
Truths that no amount of pleading can keep buried.
Azeem, what's going on?
