01x01 - Climate.Leaks

[bunniefuu]

Hello.

Have you heard
of the new highway?

No?

Germany's most polluting project
will cost 7 billion euros,

not 3.5,
as Transport Minister Thule claims.

He's lying,
as you can read in this leaflet.

May I?
- Of course.

They're passing a law to extend
the highway, which would mean

cutting down a forest.
We want to stop them.

DIGITAL LOCKING SYSTEMS

OUR TEAM FOR YOUR SECURITY

Every signature counts.

Sign here.

Think about it.
I'll be back.

One signature is better than none,
but two would be better.

Hey, sorry.
Made up your mind?

Have you heard of the new highway?
- Mmh. It sucks.

Germany's most polluting project
will cost 7 billion euros.

Our Transport Minister says
it'll cost half that, but he's lying.

Investigations have proven him wrong.
It's all here in our flyer...

They're planning to sign a law
to extend the highway.

We're trying to stop them
because they'd cut down a forest.

If you want to help, we're collecting
signatures for Parliament.

Right here.
Exactly.

Great, thanks. Bye.
- Bye.

Have you thought about it?

Thanks.
What about you?

Take care, bye.
- Have a nice day.

Weird, I would've thought
his phone is at least up to date.

The guy works
for a security company.

So stupid.

Thanks to him,
we have access to the retros.

I found a weak spot.

We've got an exploit.

I can open the doors, man!

Anna!

Oh, my God!

A security company that can't even
sort out its own code hosting!

They're so dumb,
dude.

Benni!
- How are you?

Did you see the tamper is broken?
- No.

Could you look at it?
- Sure.

What's up?
- Cem, boy.

You didn't have to.

Did it all work out?

"Leonora Ernmann?"

Benni,
tell me what you need this for.

No way.

Looks good.

Did Cem ask questions?

Did you tell him?

Sure,
I told him everything.

"You're helping us break
into the Ministry for Transport."

Yeah, right.
- Wait.

"Because my genius sister,
Anna...

"Look, she's incredible.
I love her more than anything.

"... will hack the Ministry's
security system and open the doors.

"It gets better, listen.

"I tap Transport Minister
Thule's computer.

"We find proof he's corrupt
and abusing his power.

"We publish it on climate.leaks,
which is us, but don't tell anyone.

"Wait,
then comes the best part.

"Thule has to resign.

"They stop building
the highway.

"And we save
our goddamned forest ."

Oh, God,
I'm scared.

f*ck, Benni.

What if the info
we have from Rainman is wrong,

and Thule's computer
is clean?

We gotta do it.

It's my best idea ever.

I'm the smarter twin, say it.
- It was my idea, you jerk.

Say it.

I'm the smarter twin.

My first time.
And you guys?

Not at all.

I've tried so many jobs.

My worst one was in an animal crematorium.
- Wow.

Awful.

But the first day's
always the worst.

On my first day at a burger joint,
I fought some huge guy.

Glad these people
are small.

Hi, Kathi.
- Hey, Lydia.

Hello.
- Hello, are you registered?

Of course.
- Name?

Leonora Ernmann.
You can call me Nora.

Can we start?

What room are you in?

217.

sh*t.

I can't get out of here.

Say you need to go to the bathroom.
Out the door and right around the corner.

Then there's a long corridor.
Go all the way down and turn right.

Oh, it's that simple?
- Yeah, go.

Why am I doing
the dirty work?

Because you suck
at hacking.

Sorry.
Do you have a tissue?

Thanks.

That's kind of you.

I'm going to
the bathroom.

I'm almost at the end of the corridor.
- OK.

Through the double doors.

Alright.

Where are you going?

Looking for the bathroom.

Down on the right.

Thanks.

Wait, wait.

God, there are people everywhere.
- What?

Wait, wait, wait.

OK, she's gone. Continue.

The door's open.

Thule's office
is on the left.

The door's open.

I'm in.

What a view.

Hurry up, man.

It's in.
- Get out.

Wait a second!
- sh*t. Abort, abort!

What are you
doing here?

Where were you?
- The manager turned up.

I threw my SIM card in the toilet.
I thought I was busted.

I was sh1tting bricks.

But she just
wanted to know

what was
in my backpack.

What was
in your backpack?

Guess.

Bottles.

We went for
a drink afterwards.

I'm the world's best liar!

I'm sorry.

I should've let you know.

You could've just trusted me

not to f*ck up.

You don't even
trust yourself.

What are you doing?

Yell needs me.

Wait.
You can't leave now.

Thule's computer isn't on yet.
- But...

Call me
if anything happens.

Anna's here.
- Thanks, Adam.

Thanks for coming
so quickly.

We have a problem with the media files.
- I see.

The files are still online,
but encoded with Axolotl.

We still need to sort it out.

Can we roll back
the policy config?

We could.

I'll configure Minion
so the settings can't be overwritten.

Adam will help you do it.
- No, I'm quicker alone.

Then let me know
when you're done.

THULE'S COMPUTER IS ON.
COME, QUICK!

So?

He's making no effort at all.

Let me see.
- Look.

There are loads of emails
with WeGeBau Inc.

Those idiots want
the highway to be built.

Look here.

He's requesting donations just under
10,000 euros for his constituency.

So he doesn't have to declare them.
- Damned pig.

Look at this.

Read it.

"Dear Karsten,

"there'll be a vacant position
on our board next year.

"Kisses, Your Monika."

"Dear Monika,
That's interesting news.

"I'd suggest not discussing it
over email to protect us both."

Too late.

Dishonorable pigs.

We'll check if the donations
were made and if they met up.

Why?

He's supported so many
environmentally damaging subsidies.

Now this f*cking highway and the forest.
He's corrupt. What's to check?

We need to go through emails,
bank statements, appointments...

There's no time.
Tomorrow, the new law will end the forest.

We want to convince people,
right?

We need clear proof
that he's corrupt.

We can't publish without research.
- Tick, tock, boom.

That's our policy.

If the law passes, it's too late.
You said that yourself.

What if we leak
his gross nudes?

Make public data available...
- ... protect private data, bla.

I know,
you f*cking moralist.

I want him to be
held to account!

We've still got tonight.

We need to get it
out there.

Do you think it's enough?

Damn.

He's obviously a corrupt as*h*le.
He's gotta resign.

It's now or never.

Write:

"Minister Murders Environment..."

No.

What?

"Big Sale! Thule Sells Our Environment
and Health to Boost His Pension."

Oh, I've got it!

"There Once Was
a King in Thule..."

Shut up, Benni.

"The King Is Dead.
Long Live the World!"

That's really good,
did you get that?

"What would you do if the Transport..."
- Come here.

"Transport Minister Thule
Bribed by WeGeBau Inc.

"They've given him donations
and a job offer.

"In return, he's having
the A16 highway built,

"covering up the actual costs
and ignoring the fact that the A16

"is an environmental disaster..."

Wait.

"...an environmental

"and economic disaster

"for his own personal gain.

"Here are emails from Thule
that confirm everything."

"We demand
his immediate resignation.

"All for all."

"All for all.

"Until next time,

"climate.leaks."

Together?

One...

Two...

Three.
- Three.

YOUR POST IS ONLINE

TRANSPORT MINISTER THULE
BRIBED BY WEGEBAU INC.

Ready to go?

I'll be there in a sec.

You alright?
- Yeah, you?

All good.

What are you doing?

I'm on Yell.

What's going on there?

climate.leaks channel.
- Great job.

Right?
climate.leaks did a great job.

I agree.

Thirsty?
- Thanks.

Thule still hasn't
said anything.

Cheers.
- I'm going through the leaked files.

"Kisses, Your Monika."
- Disgusting, right?

He's gotta resign, right?
- Definitely.

I think climate.leaks
is taking off now.

This is next level.

They've finally shown guts.
- Or maybe they're just dumb.

I don't think so.
With this attention, they'll do more.

The cake's done.

Is it for me?
- No.

It's our godmother's birthday.
- And Anna can't bake at all!

Benni baked it.

Sure, Benni baked it.

Hello.
Come in.

One, two, three...

Happy birthday, dear Domi.

Thanks, Benni.
- All the best.

Thanks, Marlene.

Dominique, her name's "Anna."
- Right, "Anna."

Sit down.

Delicious.

What about you,
Benni?

Made any plans?

Anna and I wanna go to Venice this fall
for a climate conference.

We wanna stir things up.

We mean what you want to do
with your future.

Tell us.

I don't need an administrative job
to be happy.

We worry about you.

No need to.
- Anna earns enough for us both.

I work even more,
I just don't get paid.

That looks so delicious.

Try it.

LAW SIGNED,
THULE'S HIGHWAY IS COMING!

sh*t.

What's wrong, Benni?

Our forest is being cut down.
- At Uli's?

That was sadly foreseeable.

That's not true. What about the stuff
they published about Thule?

Smear campaigns
are useless.

Especially not with data
sourced illegally.

That's not how to do it.
It's naive...

You Federal Police
should've locked him up long ago.

How would you do it?
Trojan horse software?

Christoph, they're cutting down
our forest because he's an as*h*le

and doesn't care
about the consequences!

We're all ignoring the comet
hurtling towards us.

And we're the comet.
- Yeah, Christoph. People like you,

who gave up their convictions
and think this doesn't concern them.

Just because I don't go out and protest
doesn't mean I don't care.

Do you want our forest
to be cut down, yes or no?

Stop fighting.

Sit down.
Come on, Christoph.

We want to celebrate
with the girls.

It'll be OK.

Sorry, Domi.

Sorry.
- It's OK.

Come on.

Dominique called me
"Marlene."

I heard.

What are you doing?
- Going to the forest.

Before it's gone.

I'll drive.

I can't imagine
this all being gone.

I know.

Neither can I.

We need to visit Mom.

I'm staying here.

I bet she hasn't heard.
Someone has to tell her.

Benni.
- Hello, Mom.

Hello, Uli.
- Hello.

I haven't prepared anything.

I didn't know
you were coming.

I'd use the other burner.

It works better.

Use the other...

Couldn't you have
called first?

You never...
- ... pick up.

At least I would've known
you called.

Mom, have you seen
what's happening?

They're destroying
the forest.

It's terrible.

I don't want
to think about it.

And?

And what?

What'll you do about it?

I'll stay here.

I won't chain myself
to any more trees.

That'd be stupid,
it wouldn't change anything.

Better hide here
and hope it goes away, right?

If everyone lived like me,
we'd be fine.

Uli, there are 8 billion of us.
- That's not my fault.

Nothing's your fault.

I don't have
to put up with this.

You drive a car here
from the city,

and think you can
explain the world to me?

Wonderful communication,
Anna.

Don't be like that
with Mom.

I know.

What's this?

THULE DENIES ACCUSATIONS

How do you respond
to the accusations?

This attack on my integrity
is unsubstantiated.

I have the full backing
of my party.

So you're not denying the authenticity
of the leaked emails?

Did you receive a personal donation
from WeGeBau?

Of course not.

No way he's resigning.

Benni?

They're trying to find out
who's behind climate.leaks.

They're investigating us.

Of course,
we're the bad guys.

Not the f*cking criminal.

No, Anna. I'm good.

So,
what have we got?

Trespassing,

hacking...

If they catch you,
there'll be a small fine.

The problem will be
when they accuse you of treason.

Like they did
with Netzpolitik.

That'd get you
10 years.

10 years.

They won't find us.

I wish you'd have
come to me beforehand.

You would've told us not to act.
- That's right, Benni.

And your action will likely
do no good.

They'll wait for people to calm down
and be distracted by something else.

News: Berlin.

The Federal Ministry for Digital
and Transport was targeted by hackers...

Turn it up.

According to the police,
all the doors are locked.

Unknown actors are controlling
the digital infrastructure.

The newly renovated "smart building"
is shut off from the outside world.

A letter was published
on the messaging service "Yell..."

Wait.
- ... which calls for Thule to resign.

They're using
the same exploit as us.

... not yet confirmed
by authorities.

It's going through the roof.
#ThuleOut is trending.

He has to respond.

We can't get out!
- Call the police! - Can you hear us?

Benni, this is a cyberattack on
the Ministry that we just entered.

They'll think we're behind it.
We leaked the information.

We need to take
the site down.

You're paranoid.

You heard Lemmerz:
10 years.

Don't you care?
In prison, we can't do anything.

Nonsense,
she said it's unlikely.

Only if we take down the site!
They'll find us, get it?

They won't find us.
- They will.

We've gotta do it now.
- I won't do it.

I'll do it alone.

If you do...

... then what?

Sit down.
