Blackout

We are here, we will fight, 'cause you are stealing our life!

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

-The Internet is fast. -If you need anything, let us now.

Yeah.

You answered emails without knowing the sender.

I didn't answer anybody.

The entire chat is fake.

You found in my email exactly what you were supposed to find. You know?

Here. That's the IP address.

That's where the emails were sent from.

If not by your people at Europol, then those responsible for the blackout.

But maybe they made a huge mistake when they sent me the email,

because now we have their IP address.

VPN encoded. The sender is invisible online. It's a dead end.

But we're already a few steps ahead. Ishan?

This is the provider that encoded the files online. Cyberstar.

They are in Australia.

We seized the server farm of the computer centre.

When everyone wants the same, things can move very fast.

This server type does not save any log files.

There's no further data we can track down.

We have a list of IP addresses active on the server when the computer was attacked.

-You got pretty far. -Not far enough.

295.000 addresses worldwide. Everywhere, on every continent.

Impossible to pursue any further.

Shit.

NUCLEAR POWER PLANT WERTHE ALMOST 6 DAYS WITHOUT POWER

Our status is as follows.

We don't know when and if we get any diesel.

We also don't know what exactly is happening in the reactor.

I will stay.

I am asking everyone else to leave now.

Your shift is over.

Try to get as far as you can, and warn everybody you meet outside.

Leave.

If the reactor blows, it's useless to be 50 km away.

I am staying.

Me too.

Me too.

And me too.

Frauke. We need you on the crisis team.

All right. How can we limit the area where the attackers are located?

We analysed the flight connections of Jorge Pucao and his accomplices.

There are three possible territories.

Mexico, the southern Mediterranean, and the Middle East.

There were repeatedly movements of the group to Mexico City.

They held the Global Environment Forum.

And then, two weeks ago, these two, Janette Bordieux and Siti Jusuf,

landed in Tunis at the same time.

How many suspicious IP addresses do we have in North Africa?

-Several thousand. -And Pucao?

No trace of him.

The police won't believe you. You'll go straight to jail.

Everything all right?

I think I know where Pucao might be.

The code on the smart meters...

It's mine.

I wrote it.

Twenty years ago, my friends and I went to Genoa to the G8 Summit.

We wanted to peacefully protest, and...

Yes, I read the reports.

Anyways, back then I thought of this hack.

The blackout.

And I told my friends about it.

Did you also think of a way to hack into nuclear power plants?

The blackout has two components.

No, I just had the idea with the smart meters.

That's why I was looking for my friends, they're the only ones who knew.

Only you and your friends knew the smart meter code?

-On the photo... -Yes?

There's a guy on the left.

That's Florian. He was in our group back then.

-Where is that? -Paris 2016.

He now owns a surf shop in Casablanca.

He knows the code.

And he knows Pucao.

Casablanca. That's what we have to look.

I need three men! The fuel truck is here!

Let's go! Come on, come on!

You go behind it. Great.

-You go up there. -Will do.

-Here. You got the hose? -It has to go straight in here.

-All right, stick it in. -Let's go.

Launch. Launch!

And go!

For sure?

The fuel truck made it!

They are now fuelling the emergency cooling systems.

Thank God.

-The fuel truck made it. -What?

-The needle is moving! -Yes!

That was a close call.

Do we know the levels now?

Incident category four or five. We have the first levels.

Looks like we're getting off fairly lightly.

All right guys, the moment of truth.

I combined the IP addresses from Australia with geodata from Casablanca.

Okay?

Okay.

One hit.

Another one.

Fuck, man!

There are 226 possible IP addresses in this area.

226 of 295.000. It's getting better.

Shit.

It will take at least three days until the Moroccan police has reviewed those.

-Europol it's on its way. -Who is going to Casablanca?

-Viola? -Erm, Bollard.

CASABLANCA, MOROCCO

We have to move on the other issues.

What's going on with medical care? What about food supplies?

For how much longer do we have provisions?

Food supplies: the federal civil reserve is basically empty.

Fuels: maybe another two days.

And then we have the issue of not being able to distribute fast enough.

-Shit. -So people are left to their own devices.

That's what it looks like.

We have to accept the aid offer. I am begging you.

The decision has been made. The chancellor refused the Russian aid.

Tonight, another 400 hospitals will close.

50 million people already don't have access to medical care.

Old people are dying of thirst in their apartments.

We are unable to supply the population. We don't have any more means.

If Russia is behind this blackout and we accept their help, we're finished.

Mr. Secretary. We're already finished.

Why don't you say something?

She's right.

The people out there need our help. We can't let them starve.

-François Bollard. -Said.

Any news?

Not yet. But we have ten teams. We will find them.

Ten teams. Can't we get more?

The King made the decision. We have ten teams.

All right. We took another look at the flight list.

Before he was found dead in Bali,

Dragenau met three times with a businessman who we already know.

Balduin von Ansen.

Successful start-up entrepreneur. Swiss citizen.

Generously funds political and social projects.

Got rich with a stock exchange software when he was only 26.

Von Ansen financed Jorge Pucao's anti-globalisation blog for a long time.

The donations stopped two years ago.

Pucao went underground two years ago.

That's why we took a closer look at von Ansen. He's even richer now.

He owns a high-tech company with numerous subsidiaries.

One of these companies bought an entire building complex in 2018.

-In Casablanca? -No, but only 80 km away. In Rabat.

There's only one suspicious IP address there.

Right in this building.

-Are you ready? -Yes.

We're almost there.

Stop!

I'm going up.

Stop!

Fuck.

Said!

Said!

-Is that him? -That's Florian.

-Drink up! -Drink up!

Hey Florian, does your mum know you drink wine?

Target location secured.

Eleven targets, two injured.

Three dead.

We are only missing one.

Pucao.

Bollard.

Here you are.

Did you get what you wanted?

You did the right thing, Manzano.

I just don't know why they bothered sending me the fake emails.

Why didn't they just kill me like Dragenau?

You're difficult to track down, Pierre.

All right, now help us finish this.

We have access to the Restart website. Long chats in hacker slang.

-We can read the Restart chats? -We can use your help.

What's going on with the generators? Why does the temperature keep rising?

We're almost out of cooling fluids.

The main cooling pumps are still not starting up.

I did some calculations. The power from the diesel generators is not enough.

We need mains electricity. Fuck.

If the fuel rods are exposed, we're screwed.

All right.

Mum?

-Yes? -Can we go home now?

Not yet.

Frauke, the kids want to go home.

Axel.

Come on.

That's out of the question.

Frauke, I'm their dad, I can take care of them.

I'm glad you're figuring that out.

-The kids are staying here. -And then?

-Your co-workers will watch them? -Yes.

-Because I can actually rely on them. -Saving the world and being a perfect mum.

-All by yourself. -You have no clue about our lives!

I was wrong putting the children on the train.

I know that. I'm sorry.

Have you never made a mistake?

Frauke.

Our children have been through a lot, and they'd like to go home.
