Do you know him?
- I don't know him.

All I know is that Colin...

Colin McGrady,
our test driver,

he called.

He said that they
had to stop the Ovum,

there was a reindeer herd
in the middle of the road.

Then he was ambushed,
got injected with something -

and passed out.

[zipping]

I don't know him either.

We know him. He is local.

Where is this Colin now?

When Walter took over here,
I think he sent Colin home.

[clicking]

Nina!
I am glad that you are okay...

Mr. Goosen, I'll call you later.

We'll need a clearer picture
of all this.

Yes ma'am.
I will be right here.

[classical music]

There was one hijacker?

I only saw the one.
- And you sh*t at him?

I did,
before that stuff got to me...

I... [tongue clicks]

I thought I missed him, tough.
- Why?

I saw him driving off with
the Ovum. Before I passed out.

Thank God the security guards
where so close.

They found me
before I froze to death.

Okay.
Thank you.


You're welcome.

So how did I do?
- You did fine.

Stick to that story

and you'll be fine
in the future, too.

This is not an interrogation.

This briefing was requested
by your lawyer, Larry Ahlgren, -

also present here today, -

to give your company an update
of ongoing investigations.

We found two used syringes

in the custody
of the alleged hijacker.

They contained sevoflurane,

the same anaesthetic drug -

that was found in the blood
of a local reindeer farmer -

who was found on the hills
frozen to death.

We assume that the hijacker
paid the local farmer -

to steer the herd of reindeers
on the road to stop the Ovum.

But he didn't want the farmer
to witness what he was doing.

The hijacker was identified.

Ex-m*llitary.

In the Afghanistan w*r,

he served
under your chief of security, -

Walter Blakeney.

Walter, yeah...

He kept us all in the dark.

He even sent
his right hand man back to...

woman back to the States -

on some bullshit excuse
so she wouldn't get in his way.

Yes. This Lindsay Cole.

Walter was looking
for the Ovum...

Not for us, but the people
he promised to sell it to.

I should have taken your
suspicions way more seriously.

I only hope that you found
our staff co-operative -

and I want you to know
that all our data and resources

are at your disposal -

until all of this is sorted.

Great. Tell me this:
how did the lab explode?

I am sorry, Ms. Kautsalo, we...
- Shut up Larry. Simple.

Ovum models are not meant
for public traffic.

They are mobile labs where
we pack all our latest tech.

They are all equipped

with the latest
self-destruct systems.

So in the event
of a security breach, -

we would rather blow them up

than have them
in the wrong hands.

Walter Blakeney
was your security chief.

Deep down, Walter was a soldier,
not an engineer.

He must have made a mistake
with the override.

Head of our unit,
Brendan Goosen,

he should be
more informative about this.

Have you spoken to him yet?

We did.
- Yes.

Okay.
Thank you for this.

We'll need to ask you
some more questions later.

So I need to ask you
to stick around, please.

Sure.

I have Pharada.
- Oh right?

Yeah.
- Which model?

Uh... VXT.

Mmh !

The best car I have ever had.
- Yeah, it suits you. Nice.

Well primarily, we flew here
to sh**t an ad with my daughter.

Which is tomorrow, -

so hanging around here
for a few more days

is absolutely fine.

You're sh**ting an ad?

Now?

Well I am terribly sorry

for all these lost lives,
I truly am.

But the only thing
I'd say we are guilty of

is hiring one wrong person.

And we don't need any more
negative attention.

And anyway, this entire event
was scheduled months ago.

If we cancel now, people will
only start asking questions.

And it's our biggest
launch ever. We can't cancel.

We simply can't.

Okay.

Why don't you both
join us tomorrow?

Thank you.

But no.

Mmh.

You are a Pharada man,
aren't you?

Yes.

I will come.

Great! It'll be fun.

[intriguing music]

[clicking]

Brown?
- I had it dyed.

[laughs]

Suits you.

It's the same colour
as it was when we first met.

When you told me to
stick around.

Yeah.

Mr. Blakeney told you
that he sent

Meiko Matsuda
back to the States?

That's correct. But I actually
found out that he kept her here.

You must excuse me for a moment.

I am sorry for Walter, -

but I am very glad
this hijacking thing

is finally over.
- Yeah.

The whole compound was like
a f*cking m*llitary camp.

And it made me see
the whole place

for what it really
has been for me.

I mean, all these years

after the accident,
it's a prison.

I have decided to move out.
I'm gonna buy myself a house.

Here?

It's time
I start living again. Finally.

Yeah, a place of my own...

Makes it easier for us
to see each other.

[sighs]

Um...

Mmh.

Brendan, I really like you.

And I'm so glad
I got to know you.

But... um...

I am pregnant.

And I've decided
to keep the baby.

That's... wow...

Congrats.

Who is...

It's messy
with the child's father.

I don't know. But it's something
I need to sort out with him.

Of course. Does he...

I can't see you anymore,
Brendan.

Unless it's police business.

I'm sorry.
- Don't!

Don't be. Don't worry.

I'm really glad
I got to know you.

You've already said that.

Okay. Okay, okay.
Where we left off?

[eerie music]

[music becomes menacing]

[scoffs]

[intriguing music]

[rock music]

[laughs]

[eerie music]

[beeps]

[intriguing music]

Could you show
Mr. Venter the fishes?

Which one, Mr. Venter,
you would like to see?

White fish would be nice.

Arctic charr maybe,

we had some of that
for lunch the other day.

I think white fish.
- White fish.

Okay, we take white fish.

A super look.

Camera 1, camera 3,
can you hear me?


One.
- To the left.


Camera three going.

And the feed is rolling?
Okay.

Just ask you to make sure.
[laughs]

I want a super look.

[sniffs]

Um...

[clears throat]

[intriguing music]

Um...

Oh...

[sniffs]

[soft music]

[crumpling]

[intriguing music]

Hi everyone!
My name is Piet Venter.

And today we've decided
to try ice-fishing

with my daughter Lotte.

Lotte darling.
Have you got any fish?

No, dad...
- Closer.

Camera one. Closer. Closer!

Are you sure?
- Okay. It's better.

Dad! Look! Look!
I caught a fish.

Just hold it tight...

Good. And now,
with the other hand, reel it in.

Dad, why is the fish so heavy?

And the fish!

Where is the fish?

That counts the viewers
of our feed in real time.

Diver!
Help with the f*cking fish.

And get ready with
Mr. Venter's catch.

Wow, look at that. A bit more,
bit more, bit more.

Yeah! Look at that!

That - ugh - is white fish.
Look at that.

Give us a kiss.

[they laugh]

Well done.

Dad, can we go back
to the cabin?

Oh darling,
I want to catch one too.

[sighs]

How can anyone
resist that face, eh?

Alright.
Let's sort out your ride.

Let's get you home, eh, love.

VXO6 on its way.

Do you see what I see?

[emotional music]

Ready, my love?

[feed continuing]
- [phone vibrating]

[screaming orders]

Bye darling.

[panicked moaning]

Dad! Let me out!

What the hell is it doing now?
- We have to stop the car.

Who the f*ck are you?
- Police! Stop the car!

I wish we could.
The AI is driving it!

It's going too quickly.
Slow it down! What's going on?

Stop it.

Dad!

What the f*ck is going on?
- Dad!

[crying]

Slow it down now!
Please!

[beeping]

Next stop...

Slow it down guys,
slow it down!


Justice!

Slow it down!

[tense music]

Where is it going?

No idea.
It's going the wrong way!

Who is doing this?

We don't know.
We shut down the cameras.

But we cannot k*ll the feed.

Someone h*jacked them too,
there's no way to override it!

I'm coming with you!
- Get in!

[honking]

[honking]

Dad!

[phone ringing]

Who the f*ck is that?
- It's Nina.

Are we losing it?

Sorry sir. I can't drive
as fast as a computer.

Just don't flinch, man.
Punch it.

[tense music]

[flushing]

[panicked breathing]

Manual controls deactivated.

[tense music]

Dad! Help! Dad!

[emotional music]

Hey...

Hi there!

Are you okay?
- Yeah.

Yeah?
How did you get out of the car?

When the car stopped, the doors
unlocked and I could get out.

And you're not hurt anywhere?
- No.

Dad!

[crying]

[sighs]

You will be charged for
the m*rder of Walter Blakeney.

And also for murdering
your pregnant wife.

I confess. I k*lled them both.

Great.

I mean,
very few police officers -

get to retire
with a solved case.

He actually retired. Just now?

And you will be his successor?

Yeah.

You will also be charged
for the attempted m*rder -

of Piet Venter's daughter,
Lotte Venter.

"I can't see you anymore,
Brendan.

Unless it's police business."

Why did you let her out?

Why'd you let Lotte
out of the car?

[sighs]

Falling in love...

It's not just falling in love
with one person, I guess.

You know what I mean?
- I know.

And anyway,

I got to k*ll something
that Piet and I started.

Have you seen Pharada's
stock market value

the last couple of days?
