Omniscient (Onisciente)

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

EPISODE 1 "I COMMITTED A CRIME"

Appraisal in 47 minutes.

Jeez, Dad! What's going on?

They're gonna think you're a firebug.

You're lucky your drone knows you.

- Aren't you gonna ask me if I'm OK? - No.

Why are you cooking?

It was supposed to be a special breakfast for your first appraisal meeting.

- Like your mom used to do. - Mm.

- Maybe we can save some of it. - Don't even think about it.

- Yes, we can. Let me see it. - Half is wet and half is burnt.

- Do you want a wet omelet? - Dad, I'm really late, okay?

I was tense and couldn't sleep well.

I'll get you a dozen eggs tonight

and teach you to fix a delicious omelet without burning the house down.

Deal.

- Didn't you hear the alarm, Daniel? - I didn't set any alarm.

- Is there anything to eat? - Give him some, Dad.

Bye. Good luck with your appraisal.

Wish her luck with it!

She doesn't need it.

LIVE WITHOUT FEAR

APPRAISAL

The Omniscient System.

Live without fear.

Excuse me. Just a second.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

New infraction registered.

OMNISCIENT CITY SURVEILLANCE BY AREA IN REAL TIME

Type three theft.

Probably the first this year.

The results speak for themselves.

In the past five years, only four homicides were reported,

and all perpetrators caught in the act.

It's not privacy versus safety.

It's privacy and safety.

Human beings have no access to the System's footage.

Only the Main Computer is able to analyze, through cutting-edge nanotechnology,

all the footage and information,

while processing data in milliseconds and storing...

Excuse me.

Relax.

I am relaxed.

Yeah, right.

Aren't you a bit nervous?

I should be. I couldn't update the compiler by myself,

I missed several days' work because of that flu,

and I went berserk with Arnaldo from maintenance.

- You did? - Yes.

But you did nothing but good. You're the best trainee,

and they'll shower you with compliments.

We'll see about that.

Bye, thanks. See you next time.

Easy peasy.

You better get used to this face.

I've pretty much got the permanent position.

Wow. Do you also hate that guy?

- I hate that guy. - I can't stand him.

- I can't stand him. - He's so obnoxious.

Nina.

- Go. Nail it. - Whew.

Have you met Vinícius? He's the Safety Project supervisor.

I have. He gave me a tour of the premises when I first started.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- I'm sorry... - No worries.

When I get nervous, my hands...

Me too. When I get nervous, my eyelids start twitching.

Relax.

- Shall we start? - Sure.

Right, Nina. Your last project was...

I rewrote the code that defines when drones go into infrared mode.

To detect crimes through fabric.

She's also shortened the code's total length by almost one thousand lines.

- That's top-notch programming. - Impressive.

Did you know that a theft was prevented today thanks to your new code?

Mr. Diego Albiero, 60 years old,

was caught trying to steal jewelry by placing it under his sleeve.

I saw it when I got here.

Some people who grew up outside the System can't control themselves.

He wasn't expecting you'd be working in our team.

Okay, let's have a look at areas that need improvement.

According to some managers, you're not totally integrated.

Perhaps because you're reserved and hardly ever express your feelings.

I believe I am integrated.

Teamwork is key here, and what others think of you is important.

Of course, but...

I said I'm integrated,

but if you think I should somehow change my behavior...

I've only been here for two months, I...

Calm down. Relax.

Sometimes it seems you're afraid of taking risks, you know?

But hey, your productivity is great.

If you keep this up, you will get one of the two permanent positions.

And that was your first appraisal. Nobody got hurt.

Your father will be very proud of you.

Has your father worked here?

Yes, from the beginning.

A programmer too? Engineer?

No, in maintenance. He's retired now.

He must be anxious to hear how it went.

Let's move on to the next trainee. Olívia, your turn.

- How did it go? - Easy peasy!

Dad.

The appraisal went well. Better than well, it was incredible.

Tonight, we're having an omelet binge.

Rodrigo,

I think this is a bit too big.

- Okay, I'll make it smaller. - Thanks.

Any messages?

I was starving. I didn't have breakfast this morning.

Why not?

My dad tried to cook something special, an omelet, but he burned it.

Oh, Inácio is so sweet.

- He is. - Have you told him about the appraisal?

- Mm-hmm. - Did he scream with joy in your ear?

Actually, no, because he hasn't checked his messages yet.

Hmm.

I'm going to grab a drink.

- Be right back. - Hmm!

- This one is delicious. - What flavor is it?

- Plants with plants. - That's the one, then.

- Good. - Right?

I prefer grass with grass, but this one is good too.

So, are you guys celebrating the appraisal anytime soon?

Tomorrow. We're going to a bar after work.

All the trainees are coming. Not sure you heard about it.

Wanna come with me?

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.

- I... - No, it's fine.

Forget it. We shouldn't mix things up. I don't want to get you in trouble.

- No, you're not... - It's all good.

We'll talk later. Bye.

- Drones? - Can I do it this time?

- Just don't drop them. - Hm. Careful.

- Nina, you'll monitor it, okay? - Okay.

All set, Caio?

Almost there.

Take your time, buddy.

Okay. I'm done.

Run it.

Yeah, 4.5 seconds.

A bit slower this time, right?

Let's run version 64?

Nina, wake up!

Yeah.

Running 64.

Hi. You've reached Inácio. I'm busy at the moment.

- Oh! - Thanks, darling.

Craving eggs?

Yes, we're celebrating.

- Have fun! - We will.

- Bye. - Bye.

Dad? Dad!

Daniel?

Emergency.

Daniel!

Somebody help me, please!

Daniel! Emergency.

You've reached Omniscient System's Emergency.

- Put me through to a real person! - Good evening. How can I help you?

My father...

My father is dead. Murdered.

My father! Please!

- Can you repeat that, please? - Daniel?

My father is dead, murdered, right here.

I need help now.

The System hasn't reported any crimes committed in your area, ma'am.

- Any emotional crises lately? - No.

Mm-hmm.

Did your father have any connection with drug trafficking, terrorism

- or criminal organizations? - No.

Uh...

How was he emotionally?

Did you notice any difference in the last few days?

No. No difference.

Was he depressed?

No.

Did he ever make an attempt on his own life?

- Are you implying he killed himself? - Shot in the back?

Calm down, I'm just following protocol.

- Someone killed my father. - Yes, but why?

Did he have any enemies or grudges?

No, he never had an issue with anyone.

Alan,

he was retired.

He was a real bore.

He had no criminal records, if that's what you want to know.

How do you explain...

We don't have to explain anything! That's your job!

How are you going to investigate what happened?

The city's investigative structure was dismantled over 15 years ago.

The System takes care of it now.

- The System doesn't fail. - What if it did now?

The System doesn't fail.

And what happened in this room stays in this room.

You will have to keep this...

incident confidential.

What? Hey, what do you mean?
