I can see you're getting the word out.
In two days. With a the link to the website.
You got it.
How about you?
You going soon?
Yeah.
Everything ready your side?
I'm good.
I gotta go. See you soon.
You're done?
She's finished.
Looks great.
You know, the promo I posted to the website yesterday?
Four million hits already.
I haven't even seen it yet.
Hi, I'm Sophie.
Follow me to Kronos.
We should celebrate.
Isn't it a little early to celebrate?
Passport.
- Have a nice flight. - Thank you.
Patel?
Yeah, that's me.
Little Abraham.
Mmm-hmm?
You coming?
Where's Jake?
Waiting.
It's a big decision.
Once I commit, there's no going back.
He's on the list.
Alain, so nice to see you.
Good to see you again, Priscila.
Welcome to my home.
Jean and Ning Tang are already inside. Come and join us.
You have a beautiful home.
Oh, it was once owned by an original Montreal robber baron.
A bootlegger?
Oh. After 9/11 I installed a panic room.
This way.
- Good to see you again, Jean. - Hello.
- Ning Tang. - Hello, Mr. Jarnac.
Want to take a seat?
- Anything else, Madame? - No, thank you.
Please close the door on your way out.
I want to thank you all for making time for me.
Yeah. But why are we here?
Mr. Jarnac's servers at Vialette in Europe
as well as his personal computers have all been hacked last week.
And you're only telling us about this now?
Ms. Tang, what is your role exactly in all of this?
I'm an associate of Mr. Jarnac's.
Under the circumstances,
We didn't think it prudent
to contact you through phone or email.
I've been hacked as well.
The ministerial office in Ottawa, my home.
My mobile, my email.
Everything.
Jesus!
Any idea who it is?
We have our people looking into it.
I've got my suspicions, but nothing I can confirm yet.
Be careful.
Don't talk about anything we've been involved with
on any digital platform.
Cell phones.
Nobody move.
Meet my bodyguard.
All of you on the ground.
Now!
What did they do to us?
This is what we know so far.
Four hostages.
Two businessmen, the Canadian Minister of the environment,
and a Chinese businesswoman.
Alain Jarnac, CEO of the $64 billion Vialette Corporation.
It's a multinational company that sells processed foods, beverages and desserts.
Jean Dubois, CEO of Cadara Oil.
Also involved in the construction of pipelines and refineries.
Priscila Spencer-Kraft is an ex-journalist,
on-air personality,
Canadian Minister of the Environment.
And Ning Tang,
CEO of something called JPPC Investments.
What are their demands?
The kidnappers have yet to make direct contact.
Are they terrorists?
- Not sure. - You said they haven't made direct contact.
Well, this is a teaser commercial
for the new Kronos videogame.
It's been hijacked by the kidnappers
and it redirects to...
Well, just watch this.
Kronos is a state of mind.
But this is going to become very real.
Follow me to justice.
Let the trials begin.
So, by hijacking Kronos,
they have immediate access to millions of viewers.
Not to mention it's on Facebook, Twitter, and all the social media.
What do they mean trials? What trials?
Where does the signal come from?
As far as we can tell,
from Spencer-Kraft's panic room.
Well, then, why don't we just go in?
You mean breach the panic room?
Is that possible?
Yeah, it's possible, but,
probably ill advised at this point.
We don't know what they want, what they're capable of.
Until they make direct contact, I think we should wait.
Welcome, everyone. Thank you for being so patient.
What do you want from us?
For over a year now,
we have anonymously set up a website
to express our dissatisfaction
and bring to light the environmental and general crimes
of corporations and governments from around the world.
For our troubles,
we have been targeted by governments and law enforcement
who are attempting to silence our right to speak.
We have tried to do things legally,
along the lines of what would be deemed acceptable by society.
Despite the fact that the crimes we have been reporting
are atrocious.
We have now been pushed too far.
We are forced to take more extreme action.
What do you mean?
You've been brought here
so that you can answer for your crimes.
What crimes?
You are not a court of law, and we haven't committed any crimes.
The evidence we are going to present
will prove otherwise.
Why are we talking to a cartoon character?
Who are you?
I'm not a cartoon character.
I'm Sophie from Kronos.
I right wrongs.
What evidence are you talking about?
This is ridiculous.
Vialette will pay you to let us go.
How much do you want?
That's not how it's going to work, Mr. Jarnac.
Well then, just so you know,
none of us is going to participate in this charade.
Who put him in charge?
Who else would it be?
Mr. Dubois, please step forward.
Don't move, Dubois.
No. This conversation is over.
Then I suppose we have nothing more to discuss.
Isn't there any way to shut this website down?
Dorothy.
You've been briefed?
How long to shut this thing down?
I just want him off the Internet. I don't care how you do it.
Okay, let me know.
Stop it!
Stop it!
Shut it off!
Are you ready to talk, Mr. Dubois?
What do you want from me?
I said no! We have to stay united.
Then what?
Do you think loud music is going to be our only punishment?
I'll answer your questions.
Oil is something we all use and need to survive.
Are we too dependent on it?
Probably.
Mr. Dubois is a majority shareholder in a number of pipelines
that are projected to crisscross Canada and the United States.
They will run from the oil fields of Alberta,
through the Rocky Mountains,
across the Prairies,
and through the US.
Out of 27 developed countries,
Canada is 27th
with the worst environmental record.
How is that possible?
Well, look who you have in power.
Politicians who promised a change from a decade of Conservative rule
have proven that they also answer directly to big oil.
Ms. Spencer-Kraft, if you'll join us.
Go on.
I'm not participating in your game.
But you're usually so eager to appear on camera.
Let's watch.
What about the deadline?
The contractors are ready to go.
We need to get the pipelines approved.
I've set the deadline.
I have everything lined up.
We're just waiting on approval from a couple of hardliners, that's all.
When do you think they'll give in?
Soon.
Soon.
Just trust me.
This is outrageous.
