Concordia

I didn't know what to do or where to go.

But I made this,

so if you're watching it, then...

I'm probably already...

gone.

Noah?

-Your mother. -She can come in.

-Don't forget these. -I won't. Thanks.

-Have you told Hanna? -Not yet.

It would just be a distraction.

And I thought it might be better coming from you.

When can you get back?

There are still a few loose ends to tie up with the council.

I can break the news to them. I'll fly later in the day.

Okay.

Good.

Mum?

Are you okay?

I'm fine. It's...

It's our people I'm concerned about.

Yeah.

Well, I...

-I gotta go. -I know.

Good luck.

Thank you.

This huge factory was an economic engine for Kopwitz, Germany.

Now, the city of Kopwitz is searching for its identity.

A city about to be reborn.

In nine days' time, we'll begin the two-year integration plan

which will transform Kopwitz

into a safer, greener, healthier place to live.

All while other cities across the world line up to be next.

You can now remove your goggles.

Here's the person who brought Concordia to Germany.

I'm very pleased to introduce Saxony's minister president, Hanna Bremer.

Thank you. Thank you.

Good morning, all. Welcome to Kopwitz.

Past, present and future.

We know the eyes of the cities you represent will be on us

as we embark on this great experiment to create a second Concordia.

And we hope you will join us,

so we can share that experience with you.

We only found out this morning ourselves.

-The murder, it shocked us all. -Come on. This way.

Is there any connection between the murder and Concordia?

As far as we can tell, no.

But the crime scene was just outside town limits,

so the news will create a stir.

The press will ask you for a statement.

20 years without any crime.

That's a record we can point to with pride.

Especially now.

And what about Fatemah?

She's sending someone in. A crisis manager from London.

It might help.

Hanna, I know you've staked your entire career

on bringing Concordia to Germany.

I won't let a tragedy like this stop us now.

Good.

Outside Concordia?

Come on. E-mail, phone, credit cards,

cameras in stores, airports, streets.

Outside Concordia, we are tracked everywhere.

Data is gathered, harvested by everything we touch, do.

Our data, that's the world we live in.

Nobody knows where that data goes.

Who sees it? If it's sold, how will it be used?

I told people, isn't it more important you know the answer to that,

rather than pretending it's not true?

In Concordia, they're open about the cameras, not like everywhere else,

where you never know who's watching you or for what reason.

They're honest about the usage of our data, how it's gathered,

what is gathered and how we benefit from it.

We trust in Concordia that our footage, our data,

our rights are safe and secure.

They will never be infringed upon or taken advantage of.

What they didn't understand is that no one ever really sees that footage

unless there is a reason to.

And only by those people whose job it is to protect you.

The AI, the humans, it all works hand in hand.

Checks and balances, making sure there is no misuse.

It's great to live in a place where truth still matters.

Thea Ryan? Isabelle Larsson.

I'll be working with you, leading the investigation from the Concordia side.

I see why the Gothenburg police are involved, but here?

What do police do in a place with no crime?

We don't have police here, only community officers like myself.

In Concordia, we don't fight crime, we prevent it.

-Isn't that what the cameras are for? -They're not used the way you'd think.

We have to get some admin out of the way. Can I have your devices?

Laptop, phone.

-Are you serious? -It's just for a moment.

We need to install a firewall to protect your personal data while here.

Just don't go through my photos.

I'm joking. Mostly.

I promise it won't interfere with any of your current data.

Once you leave Concordia, you can deactivate the firewall.

We are being watched, aren't we?

Firewall installed.

Consider yourself one of us now. Follow me.

Thea.

Ms Ericksen.

Juliane. Nice to meet you.

-You, too. -Please.

A.J. Oba, our chief technology officer.

He is responsible for the AI system that runs Concordia.

And Mathilde, our lead data scientist working with A.J. at Concordia HQ.

-Nice to meet you. -You, too.

Please.

I'm sorry your first visit to Concordia is under such...

terrible circumstances.

In my job, I rarely see a place at its finest hour.

I don't see why a murder outside town limits should reflect badly on us.

No, but the timing of the murder does have Fatemah concerned.

The Kopwitz launch is soon.

There's also the fact that Oliver Miller worked at Concordia HQ.

He was an analyst, entry level.

Concordia operates on machine learning to codify and predict behaviour?

Yes.

The original Concordia system could recognise criminal activity.

My algorithm can predict it.

The only surveillance footage we see is footage of concern,

showing a resident, who may be at risk to themselves or others,

or need our help and support.

That's why we created the Court of Review,

which can grant us access to the footage for our residents in an emergency.

We applied to the court for footage from the last month of Oliver's life.

To go back any further than that, we would need to reapply.

The Gothenburg police have asked to see the footage as well.

It'd be best if we review it before sharing anything with them.

Particularly as data protection is key to your business model.

The footage could be key to finding out who killed Oliver.

As it happened outside Concordia...

I'm not suggesting withholding the footage,

just delaying a few hours, so we can stay ahead of the curve.

We need to find out what happened to Oliver,

for his family's sake and for the sake of everyone who came to Concordia

with personal safety in mind.

We also need to make sure that we are not releasing any footage

that compromises Oliver's or anyone else's privacy.

Notify the police that we will review it as we go

and pass along anything we think could be helpful to the investigation.

-You must be Thea. Azeem Mahmoud. -Hi.

I'll be upstairs.

Azeem is the officer assigned to Oliver and his mother

when they first arrived in Concordia.

Doesn't happen with every family I settle,

but with Oliver and his mother Cathy I've remained close.

-Can I talk to her? -This afternoon.

Shall we?

The Millers moved here after Oliver's father died.

He already experienced serious bullying

and then he withdrew even more to cope.

-They were looking for an antidote. -Did they find it here? In Concordia?

We all thought so.

He started out in our social support programme, soon flourished,

graduated in computing, then recommended for a role at Concordia HQ.

A success story, by any measure.

Until yesterday.

This was provided by the Gothenburg police,

who were the first to arrive.

According to forensics, he was killed with two gunshot wounds.

Very close range.

One to the chest and one to the head.

He had no criminal history, no drug use.

Generally nothing of concern, nothing to explain

such a violent death.

But something brought him to the woods outside Concordia.

Something that got him killed.

Have you heard anything from Andersson?

-Oskar! -We need to talk.

Okay, sure.

Thea, this is Oskar Eklund, the lead investigator for the Swedish police.

Thea Ryan, who's overseeing the investigation

for the investment fund behind Concordia.

I mean right now.

In private.

I'll just take a look around.

What is it?

I'm told Concordia won't release the footage.

The court needs to approve before we can release any footage.

This is a murder investigation. We're losing time.

You'll see it as soon as possible. I promise.

Call me.

As soon as it's approved.

What was that about?

He's upset we're withholding the footage.

He doesn't like being in the passenger seat.

Thought this was your first case?

I studied criminology and had a work-study with the Gothenburg police.

-Oskar headed up the programme. -So you have a little cop in you?

Not enough to make a career out of it,

but when the job opened up in Concordia, I took it.

-It's better to... -...prevent crime than solve it, I know.

You really believe in this, don't you?

I do. This way. Come.

I...

I think I'm still struggling to understand...

Of course. It's okay, Cathy.

We're doing everything we can to get you answers.
