Original subtitles

Do we have a scan?

[Captain through radio] No signs of life.

Looks like you've got a bad tip, detective.

Do we know who sent it yet?

All we have is a signature, Florence.

But it'll probably be a dead end.

Run the scan again.

Detective, abort.

-Get me a background check on Florence.

-Wait for the Rapid Response Unit and the negotiator.

I've got the other scan, detective.

No signs of life. The whole floor is empty.

How can it be empty? I'm standing right here.

The corridor is shielded. Abort. That's an order.

Detective?

Police!

Hands behind your head.

Don't move! Stop right there!

I don't want to shoot you.

Do you have a restore point?

Restore points are completely unnatural.

Even with them, you're scared, aren't you?

Stay where you are!

You can't stop us.

Don't you dare move!

You can kill me or let me go.

But I know you won't do either. So, I'll make the choice myself.

I choose to be free!

No!

You do like complicating things for yourself.

You recorded your concert on my piano?

No need to play solo all your life.

You want to come to Dresden with me tomorrow?

I play better when you're in the audience.

And why is that?

You tell me.

I can't go.

Right, work.

What I'm working on is important.

And what I'm doing isn't?

That's not what I said, Peter.

I know. I'll be home in two days.

[AI] Recording of call has ended. Delete or archive.

Archive.

The lesson has been completed.

Would you like to start another?

No. Switch off.

A new event has been entered into your calendar.

Prepare my car for departure.

Your car will be waiting for you.

[radio] Yesterday's attack came a mere two weeks

after the terrorist attack occurred on the bus.

The organization River of Life

is again suspected of the attacks.

Carol Rohan, director of the Restoration Institute,

has called a press conference

concerning the planned privatization of the institute.

[AI] Restore point complete.

Sir, if this is about yesterday--

-Of course it's about yesterday.

You didn't follow orders. You were supposed to abort.

There was a chance of saving them.

And how did that turn out?

We needed to apprehend him alive,

to interrogate him, to find his accomplices.

Europol have had him in their sights for years.

Yeah, they're doing a great job of it.

He held those men for two days.

He let the restore points run out before killing them.

I could've waited for ten negotiators,

but he was from River of Life.

He would've never surrendered.

That's completely irrelevant. Europol are taking over.

They want to make sure

that you didn't throw him over the railings yourself.

That's nonsense.

From now on, none of us will be involved in this case.

I understand that you have

certain prejudices against these people.

Everyone should have prejudices against terrorists.

Yes, but we can't execute them. It doesn't matter what they do.

He jumped. Of his own accord.

How long has it been?

How long since your husband, Peter... two years now?

I see you think I'm still grieving, Captain.

Nobody's judging you for it.

Is that so?

Everyone here is afraid to talk in front of me.

They merely treat you like a detective

who refuses to cooperate.

Someone who goes out on her own

and refuses to work as part of a team.

Your timing is pretty damn poor, Trochinowska, but we've got

a new case, and I think you'd be just right for it.

And this isn't just some anonymous tip.

This case could really bring you much closer

to River of Life like you want.

The question is whether you'd be able to handle it.

That is, if you want to handle anything at all.

Like a team player.

Aren't you going to answer?

Yes, Captain.

Yes, Captain, what?

I'll handle it.

Good evening. -Good evening.

I got to warn you, it's not a pretty sight.

Have you identified the victims?

Yes. A married couple, David and Kristina Kurlstat.

The man was stabbed. The woman, strangled.

Recycled car, 2035. All the papers are in order.

No weapons were retrieved from the scene.

He's the head of research

at the Institute of Restoration.

Yes. That's right.

But take a look at this.

-Is that how they found her?

-The murderer laid her out like this for some reason.

-There's something in her hand.

Were the bodies wrapped up

before taking her away for restoration?

Turn her off, please.

Alisa.

You can put her back now.

[Policeman] He might have been some kind of fetishist.

She's been strangled. This was personal.

But there's minimal trauma.

He laid her out like that so she'd look at peace.

He cared about her.

But the guy.

Somebody must have really hated him.

Has anyone counted the stab wounds?

11. But the autopsy will give us more precise info.

What do you mean, the autopsy?

Both victims were taken in for restoration,

but unfortunately, neither of them had a valid backup.

That's not possible.

Status of murder victims David and Kristina Kurlstat.

[AI] Murder victim David Kurlstat.

No valid restore point found.

Murder victim Kristina Kurlstat.

No valid restore point found.

Any restoration insurance?

Insurance valid.

David Kurlstat insured. Kristina Kurlstat insured.

Request change of classification for case AC34.

This is absolute murder.

[Rohan] David Kurlstat is a great loss to us all.

[reporter] How will one of the Institute's leading

scientist's loss affect the forthcoming privatization

of the restoration system?

-This institute will remain strong and firm

in the face of any terrorist attacks.

Are you saying that David Kurlstat and his wife

were killed by the River of Life movement?

We all know how they're escalating

their campaign of aggression against what we're doing here.

Two weeks ago, when 17 people were killed suddenly

in the attack on the bus, we restored all of them.

But unfortunately, two days ago, four men were executed

after their backups had exceeded the limit of 48 hours.

Legally, we couldn't save them.

These events underline the importance of privatization.

We need to innovate more quickly.

But once the institution has been privatized,

won't restoration become an exclusive service

for the rich?

Today we finance restoration from taxes,

so we all pay for it,

including those who don't use the system.

The private model will enable immediate backup capability

in real time, which will be automative

and much safer, and all clients will be able

to choose the price and level of the service themselves.

That was the last question. [reporter 3] 5 more minutes!

[reporter 4] One more question.

[woman through speakers] It is 9 o'clock.

Have you backed up today?

Excuse me sir, I'm Detective... -Trochinowska,

from Tihar's unit.

Follow me this way, please.

-What else do you know about me?

In your view, what would you say this institute

means to the common citizen?

I'd say hope and security, I suppose.

And that's exactly why I need to know about everyone

who might potentially pose a threat to it.

You don't need to think of me as a threat.

I'm just here to find out the truth

about Kurlstat's murder.

I know.

But the media are using your investigation

in order to cast doubt on the institute and attack us.

They don't care

that we're battling against death every day here.

That we're fighting to save human lives.

I think what they want is transparency.

Yes, but what we are engaged in here

is subject to medical secrecy.

As soon as the European Federation

approves privatization...

-If it approves it. -Correct.

That's why I don't want anything jeopardizing

the institute right now.

Find the culprit and give the journalists

the answers they're looking for

so we can make this whole thing quickly disappear

from the front pages.

You have all of my resources fully at your disposal.

That won't be necessary.

I have to abide by certain protocols.

Protocols? Protocols are compiled very slowly.

A lot more slowly than our technology,

which is here for you and your nearest and dearest.

This is a murder investigation.

[Doctor] Mr. Rohan. -Dr. Ligarova.

Dr. Ligarova will answer all further questions for you.

[Em] My questions are for you, sir.

Thank you.

He strikes a lot of people as rather eccentric.

Please, miss, call me Petra. -Em Trochinowska.

But he's very clever.

My primary interest is David Kurlstat.

Did you work with him? -Yes, I worked with him.

He was my tutor.

Did you notice anything suspicious in his behavior

or in anyone's behavior towards him?

Have you ever witnessed the restoration process?

This boy was killed this morning in a car accident.

This is what Rohan's given to the world.

Please allow me to show you something else.

Those are the parents of the boy you've just seen.

But he's okay now.

His sister was also in the car.

A consequence of the 48-hour rule.

He was a model client. She wasn't.

So, she can't be restored?

That's precisely why Rohan's plan is so important.

Imagine being able to record in real time.

You'll never forget to back up.

I really need solid information, Petra.

Why didn't a high-ranking expert like Kurlstat

have valid restore points?

That's a mystery to us.

The last time he updated his restore point was yesterday.

But someone broke into the system

and erased his backup.

Is that possible?

Rohan's now got the best programmers on the case

to ensure it won't happen again.

Anyway, the public can't find out about this.

And what about Mrs. Kurlstat's backup?

Kristina evidently wasn't interested in our services.

She hadn't recorded any backup for over four months.

The wife of one of the head doctors

didn't create restore points?

That was a surprise to all of us.

[Em] The list of Kristina Kurlstat's calls

from the day of the murder.

Search social network contacts.

Name, Viktor Toffer.

Just Viktor.

Search events in calendar with the name Viktor.

Search her notes and all her work documents.

Detailed scan, Toffer.

Identify, please.

Call headquarters.

[Man through phone] Yes. -Hello.

Take a look at this man for me.

-Viktor Toffer, accused of sedition on social media,

organizing demonstrations and accused of cyber terrorism.

Is he a hacker?

Two years ago, he was investigated

on suspicion of involvement

in the activities of River of Life.

And they let him go?

The investigation was halted due to lack of evidence.

-Send me the River of Life files.

That'll be all. Thanks.

Send requests for issue of arrest warrant.

Name, Viktor Toffer.

Address, Aplinova 29.

Reason for arrest, matching evidence

in murder case AC34.

What's the state of the request?

-Arrest warrant approved.

Take note that you'll have a special unit to back you up.

How long will it take them to get there?

-40 minutes.

I'm sorry, but I cannot wait that long.

-I'll send you a drone for assistance.

But I can't do any more than that.

Roger that.

[man] Detective Trochinowska?

Who are you?

You're supposed to be dead.

Seems it didn't work out that way.

They told me you couldn't be restored.

They said your backup had been erased.

Can we talk for a moment away from the cameras?

They'll pick you up and take you to the station.

No, no no, no police. Just you.

I don't even understand how you're still alive.

This is about more than my murder.

What are you talking about?

First, I need to get something important from my house.

I'm sure you can help me. -Mr. Kurlstat,

you're the victim of a murder -If you let them take me away,

Rohan is going to make sure

we never get to talk about privatization.

I know he won't take any risks.

He didn't even tell you I was still alive, did he?

Door open.

I'm not going anywhere with you.

We're not going to the station.

But you'll only do what I tell you.

It snowed yesterday.

Hasn't snowed in six months.

Not for you, it hasn't.

They restored me from an old test back up

saved outside of the official servers.

That's the brain I'm working with.

Everything since then is empty. It's a miracle I'm here at all.

But there'll surely be side effects,

no doubt about that.

I won't survive for long.

[AI] You are in front of Viktor Toffer's house.

Is this connected with my case in any way?

No. But even so, I'll have to lock you in.

And then you will take me home?

I just need a few minutes.

I'm at the location. What's the status?

[man through phone] The special unit's

still 20 minutes away.

Anyone inside?

There's one person inside the building.

Upper floor. No movement.

Air conditioning. [AI] Voice not recognized.

[man through radio] Confirmed Toffer, Viktor,

suspected of the murder of David

and Kristina Kurlstat.

Address, Aplinova 29. Operation in progress.

Roger.

The team is on the way. Collecting information.

Wait for us.

[Em] Viktor Toffer, stand up!

I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder

of David and Kristina Kurlstat.

I didn't do anything he didn't deserve.

Anything you say may be used as evidence against you.

Everything we say and think

is already used against us every single day.

Hands above your head!

Believe me, you'll find this interesting.

Put it down and get on your knees.

I'll be very happy to.

I'll do everything you want.

I'll answer every question you have.

As long as you'll guarantee me a fair trial.

Don't even think about it.

Everybody has the right to a fair trial. Even you.

You have no idea what's really at stake here.

You're protecting a system that terrorizes you

every day with the specter of death.

That system saves many lives.

[man through radio] Detective. Someone's entering the house.

Kristina wasn't afraid of dying.

Unlike him who was.

-Stop right there! -What the hell did you say?

-Don't move!

Who the hell are you? -You're supposed to be dead.

What have you done to my wife? -You're supposed to be dead.

Get back down on your knees. Don't move!

What'd you do to her?

I tried to save her, but it was too late.

You killed her.

Suspect attempting to escape.

Stop!

Are you okay?

Thanks. Thank you.

Oh, this is bad.

I'll tell you everything. But you, for now.

One kilometer back under that big bridge.

Come alone.

I hope you had a fresh backup, seeing as how you had the guts

to go after Toffer yourself.

Let me take a guess, Europol?

Agent Mansfeld. Pleased to meet you.

We found this inside with dried blood on all.

It's probably Kurlstat's blood.

Toffer basically confessed to killing him.

But he still managed to get away.

Did you leave your weapon in the car or...?

This is a murder case.

I need to question Toffer, not kill him.

I understand.

I know it didn't turn out too well with your last suspect.

Don't worry. Europol have confirmed your testimony.

You've been cleared on that one, detective.

But now, this is my investigation.

I'll send the report to your office.

Trochinowska. You found Toffer before I did.

It would be stupid of me to ignore that, I'm aware.

You could work with me on this case.

But next time, don't hesitate. Arrest the guy or shoot him.

He's far more dangerous than you think.

He's suspected of murder.

Of course he's dangerous.

So first thing tomorrow morning, we'll talk to Rohan together

and make sure your report is thorough.

I need to be aware of everything you know about this case.

I want to search the house. Bring me a coffee.

How am I supposed to believe you?

I would never lay a finger on Kristina.

I would never harm anybody.

David, I just saw you try to shoot a man.

That was a blip. -How many more blips happened?

Perhaps ones you don't remember.

I had him.

He was willing to talk. You fucked it up.

I have the right to know what happened to me.

Who was responsible for it. -What right?

You're not even supposed to be alive.

-He used this to break into the institute's servers.

There are only three keys with full access to the system.

One's in the safe, Rohan has the second

and this one's mine.

I never let it out of my sight.

So you're saying he killed you to get that key?

Nobody knows these keys even exist.

Not even your wife?

She...

she would never have done that to me.

Please, you have to get me to my house.

All the answers will be there, I promise.

-Em Trochinowska here.

Do we have anyone at the Kurlstats' house?

[man through radio] The Europol patrol

is on its way. ETA is 15 minutes.

All right, thanks.

That picture used to be on the other wall.

We've got to do this quickly.

And I broke that vase too. I promised to replace it.

But I don't remember ever doing it.

Looks like you did.

More likely, Kristina did.

I always just promise things.

She probably got tired of waiting.

I'm sorry, but we don't have much time. Why are we here?

After they restored me,

nobody wanted to tell me anything.

Nobody cared that my backup had been erased.

Only Dr. Ligarova implied, rather cryptically

that it was nothing compared to the other problem.

What other problem?

I hope that's what I'm about to find out.

There's some kind of virus in there.

[Em] Inside the institute?

The first target of the attack was my backup,

but it's still going on.

It's removing more and more backups at random.

It's erasing them fast.

Is there any way you can stop it?

I need a little more time.

Is this the reason we came? For your videos?

I'm missing six months of memories. But they're here.

I need to see them.

Kristina's backup disk. It's gone.

That shouldn't be here.

The picture.

Do you know how to open it?

We have to go.

David!

[Em] What are those injections for?

[David] Post-restoration syndrome.

I call it Frankenstein's disease.

This is the reason why it's illegal to restore someone

whose backup is older than 48 hours.

Have you ever heard of muscle memory?

Sure, like how you never forget to ride a bike.

Yes, well, there's also cell memory.

We used to think that resetting the brain to a previous time

would trigger cell regression.

The body trying to match a younger brain.

A way to extend your life.

But the exact opposite is true.

When cell memory comes into conflict with brain memory,

the body falls apart more quickly.

It's hard fighting against fate. Two days are still safe.

But any more than that is when the side effects start.

This is an experimental treatment, a Band-Aid.

Hopefully, it'll hold a while.

[David singing] Happy birthday to you.

There are too many candles.

That means you get to make more wishes.

That's not fair. You have to help me here.

All right, but you have to tell me all of them.

You know what my wish is?

-Kris.

You know that I'd like to as well.

But it's not the right time yet.

But it's never the right time.

What if it's already too late for me?

It won't be.

We're not living in the 19th century.

These days, it's never too late.

I don't want it artificially. I want the real thing.

I want you. -I know.

Just let me finish this project.

You've always got some kind of project.

Is it worth it?

I hoped I'd learn something, but... but this is like...

As if someone else is living your life for you.

I found this at your house.

It's not even a month old.

According to the records, they started calling each other

four months ago.

Right.

So I guess now we know how he got to my key.

Do you recognize this place? -No.

I'll try to check it out tomorrow.

How long is it going to last? This emptiness.

If it ever disappears, I'll let you know.

Good morning. -Rohan's running a bit late.

I'm going through your files.

Your husband.

I know what it's like.

Remember the explosion at the Lotochem factory?

My father was chief of the fire crew.

He wanted rescue teams to have access

to the restoration technology

even before it was legislated, without success.

My father always taught me that duty comes first.

There's no choice.

He was inside when...

Pardon, I digress.

Our case has complications.

What kind of complications?

Well, for starters, David Kurlstat is still alive.

Rohan used some kind of test backup

that's about six months old.

Six months old?

That's a clear breach of the rules.

Are you really so surprised by this news, Detective?

Rohan obviously only did what was best

to serve his own needs.

I did it for David Kurlstat.

He's a good friend of mine.

No, you did it in order to protect your own interests.

And you needed to cover it up to prevent the bad publicity

that you'd get if you admitted

that someone had hacked into your system.

I beg your pardon? -It makes no difference why.

Toffer didn't stop at the Kurlstats.

He implanted a virus into the system

which continues to erase backups.

Memories destroyed even now as we speak.

Every minute, the probability increases that someone will die

without a valid backup.

Thousands of lives are at stake here, under threat.

You know that and still tried to hide it.

Even though Europol's main objective

is to stop this threat. -Excellent.

Then you understand that this is precisely the reason

why I had to restore David.

Nobody knows the system better than he does.

If I played by the rules and followed legal protocols,

I would never be allowed to bring him back to life

and I'd be stuck with the consequences.

The fact that David is still alive

could save thousands of human lives.

And we need all the help we can get.

Especially after this morning.

What happened this morning?

[Rohan] The first fatal accident's been confirmed.

A young man was rock climbing.

The virus has erased his restore point.

More than a thousand backups have been destroyed

and every hour their number is increasing.

Our users trust us to keep them safe.

There's nothing to warn them.

Your backup is also... -Gone as well.

But we know how we can stop this.

We need to catch Toffer.

We'll make the system safer than ever before,

and the public will never know anything about it.

I will take care of all the obstacles.

Dying people are not obstacles.

The public has a right to information.

It's not necessary for this information

to be public.

Are you serious?

When it was just about Kurlstat that was one thing.

But this? The people have the right to know.

Will that help us find Toffer? No. This is what he wants.

To destroy people's faith in the restoration system.

The only thing that will help us now

is to find David Kurlstat so that he can try

and stop this threat and find Toffer

so that nothing like this can ever happen again.

Precisely.

If this got out, there would be an outbreak of mass panic

and hysteria.

Or is this about protecting

your precious privatization campaign?

Why are you helping him with this?

Simple, Detective, the more cases you work on,

the more you realize it's worth risking

a few lives in order to save many.

Sometimes it's necessary to make tough decisions.

C'est la vie.

And of course, you can always quit the case,

but you're legally obliged to keep silent

about everything we've spoken about here.

I can't believe these idiots,

they don't even give a damn about...

Oh, shit.

Sit up.

It's getting worse. -I'll be all right.

The meeting obviously went well.

All they care about is the Institute.

Fuck. Go to my room now.

I haven't changed my mind.

Can I come in?

I understand you, Trochinowska.

I get it, you feel like you're on a mission.

Take down River of Life. Protect the innocent.

You're a warrior for justice, aren't you?

Is there something wrong with that?

No.

It's highly admirable.

And I believe you're also aware that there are times

when you have to make concessions.

When you need to look at the bigger picture.

Which in this case means that you have to help Rohan

cover everything up.

Something that could put thousands of lives in danger.

That's not what I'm doing.

My decision's not influenced in any way by Rohan.

I don't give a shit about him.

Marvelous. So you only care about the greater good.

I think we disagree on what that's supposed to be.

You're not above breaking the rules

or certain boundaries to get results either.

Where is he?

Excuse me?

And I don't mean your husband.

I know that you were at Kurlstat's house.

I wanted to look around before they stomped all over it.

Excellent decision. Really.

He gave you an ultimatum, and you did exactly as he said

in order to gain his trust and help him.

Without him, there's no way to solve this case.

And while you were out looking for evidence,

he got into the institute with the same key

that Viktor Toffer used to implant the virus.

The key he got from Kristina Kurlstatova

after he'd seduced her

and exploited her weaknesses.

Kurlstat basically treated her like she was a common whore.

She probably was.

There's no need to insult her.

-No? -No.

Well, all this is her fault.

Her husband couldn't satisfy her, so she went ahead

and spread her legs for some terrorist.

And so now, thanks to Kristina Kurlstatova,

thousands of lives are at risk.

A terrorist whore responsible for the death of--

You fucking bastard!

[Mansfeld] Calm down, Mr. Kurlstat.

See that? It's for the greater good.

Just go to hell. -You're coming with me.

That's not necessary.

Unortunately, he likes escaping.

He isn't well. -Did you report his restoration

or the virus to anyone from FEF?

No, not yet, but I'm going to

because the people have the right to know.

Naturally. But that'll be dangerous for you.

I can see that you haven't backed up yet today.

Excuse me? -You're now at 28 hours.

When?

When we met yesterday

before you went to Kurstat's house.

Yes. That's true.

Leave your weapon in the holster.

-You can't be serious. -Be happy.

He'll wake up innocent and you won't remember

a single thing about today.

[David] I won't keep my mouth shut.

Hey, I'm on your side.

You do like complicating things for yourself.

Really?

[Peter] No need to play solo all your life.

Do you want to come to Dresden with me tomorrow?

I play better when you're in the audience.

Right, work.

Oh, don't you dare move!

We've got to go.

[Em] Door, open.

Destination: nearest charging station out of town.

I don't understand it. You're a police detective.

Who's covering for a man whose very existence is illegal.

It makes no difference. It was self defense.

Great. So, let's turn ourselves in.

They'll likely put you to sleep

and then restore you from the same old backup.

What options do we have, then? It's his word against mine.

That's insane.

Rohan will do anything to make sure

no one finds out about the virus.

And apparently, Europol's helping him.

And if they do find Toffer, he probably won't survive.

But Toffer's the quickest way to stop the virus.

We need him.

It'll take me weeks to crack the encryption.

We have to find him before they do.

[David] Where are we?

[man] Call restoration! [Em] Come with me.

We need a scanner.

Invisible on the network.

Isn't the whole point of this place

that you never ask any questions?

Because I know it's here.

And if you don't let me use it today

then tomorrow, you're gonna lose it.

And a telephone. It must be untraceable.

[David] Why did she do it? Why did she give him the key?

She put thousands of lives at risk.

She was vulnerable.

Maybe he gave her something that was missing in her life.

Yeah.

So when he no longer needed her, he killed her?

What would you do if you found out

your key was suddenly missing?

I would report it.

Even if you knew that Kristina had taken it?

Then I would try to stop her.

Maybe that's just how you all got to where you are now.

Maybe. But Kristina and I are both dead.

Do you think he's at her place? -She's Viktor's aunt.

He's wounded.

And I'm guessing he feels safe there.

Are you Terezia Dudková?

That's the name I'm registered under in the system.

The system also states that Viktor Toffer is your nephew.

That's right. And who are you?

Detective Trochinowska.

And you?

He's with me.

When did you last see Viktor?

At this place, people either stay or they leave.

Viktor left over two years ago.

Mrs. Dudková.

We're going to need more than that.

I think you'd find it more pleasant to talk inside.

Oh, shit.

Are you turning us in?

That would require a computer or some other technology

for contacting the police.

We don't have that kind of corruption here.

Viktor is suspected of a double murder.

Do you think he'd be capable of that?

We're all capable of that.

But I don't believe Viktor would do that.

If you haven't seen him in two years,

how can you be so sure?

Viktor was... searching.

Always desperately searching. -For?

A place where he belonged. He never found it here.

And he didn't find it with River of Life either.

But aren't you River of Life?

We haven't got anything to do with them.

And if you want to hear my opinion,

no such organization going by that name even exists.

It's just an illusion created by propaganda.

My husband was killed by terrorists,

not some illusion.

I'm so sorry, I really am.

But we're not like that at all.

I can assure you that the real murderers

will never escape punishment.

Because the worst prison we have is in here.

And nobody can ever release you from there.

In the past, you threatened to erase a restore point

which Viktor is also accused of.

At least one person has died as a consequence of that.

Well, that's not murder.

So what is it then?

It's life.

That's quite a strange view of existence.

It's the only right one.

Because you can only murder a human being, not a data file.

Erasing doesn't mean killing.

A lot of people would disagree with you.

And you're another one of those who disagree with me.

I've surrendered control.

Control over whether I'm going to live or if I'll die.

Whether I pay the mortgage, whether I survive the winter.

And you think I'm the crazy one?

I'd really like to help you, Detective.

But you've been blinded by the fear of death.

If you want, you can search the place.

You won't find Viktor here.

And if you need a bed for the night,

I'd be very happy to provide you with one.

[Em] You look terrible.

I'll manage. I just need...

-A bed.

Do you know what this is?

I've never played the piano before.

What did you say?

We designed a program that can implant a new ability

into your memory.

We call it a gift.

A gift?

After restoration, you wake up and find

that you can speak fluent Chinese, for example.

I realized that when your colleague

smashed my head against the piano,

and I knew exactly which notes I was playing.

But it was never approved for the public

because it was pretty clear that people would abuse it.

They'd want to die all the time so they could get more gifts.

That was Debussy.

I'd give anything to be able to play as well as you can.

So, that piano I destroyed isn't yours?

Peter taught me on it.

He wanted to draw me to his world.

I resisted and then, suddenly he was gone.

And now I'm going over the same lesson over and over again.

At least I know that those gifts work.

Isn't it strange?

Suddenly a completely foreign element

just appears in your head.

Now you sound like that old woman.

Hey.

Sorry, but we've got to go.

[David] Unless you want to be in their sights

within a few minutes, I'd advise you not to use it.

It's a strange feeling.

I kind of feel like...

You're mortal?

I was going to say like more human.

I think I get why your wife experimented with it.

What do you mean? Kristina always backed up.

She stopped backing up four months ago.

Some things should remain a secret.

There's probably a lot more things

she wasn't getting from me.

She had even chosen a name for our child.

It's a damn mystery to me.

She wanted to name the baby after the town where we met.

[David] Is that yours?

But he had a restore point. What happened to him?

They abducted a 50-member orchestra in Dresden.

They murdered one of them every hour.

My husband was the last one.

50 people.

Weren't there 48 of them? I thought they all survived.

That was the version they gave to the public.

Look over there.

[David] How did you know?

Dudková might not have seen Viktor,

but that photograph with your wife

is from this place.

And it's only a month old.

[Em] Put your hands where I can see them.

I would normally call this a case of police harassment.

But you're the criminal now. -Tell us where Viktor is.

From what I've heard, you've got other problems,

if not bigger ones than Viktor.

We know that he's wounded and he really needs help.

All thanks to you.

Do you think I'll give him up just like that, to him?

I swear we won't hurt him. I give you my word.

Your word means nothing to me.

You've already decided that he's guilty.

For killing a man who's standing right in front of me.

For killing a woman he would never have harmed.

And now that doctor will be added to the list.

What doctor, ma'am?

Hey, watch it there.

[television] ...attack this morning...

It's all over the news today.

...is now the second employee of the institute this week

to become a victim of an attack

for which the River of Life movement is being...

Her backup was erased.

[Dudková] I don't want any violence here,

but I'm not going to run from it.

Please. We need your help.

For Viktor's sake.

You can help us prevent more deaths.

You're not going to be able to stop the people

who are coming for him.

But he stays here.

Guard her.

Toffer.

On your knees now!

Move an inch and this time there'll be no warning shot.

[Viktor] I'm not afraid of dying.

Where's Kurlstat?

It's better to keep you two apart.

Water.

[Dudková] I'll give you some water.

[Em] I'm arresting you for the murder of David

and Kristina Kurlstat.

Good luck with that.

They're after you like they're after me.

I'm not in River of Life.

You don't have any idea what River of Life is.

I've got nothing to do with them anymore.

You're a liar.

I'll tell you everything

if you bring me up before a court.

I'll tell you the truth about what River of Life

really is and who's responsible for each death,

including the death of your husband.

What are you talking about?

I was wondering who you are.

-Just a regular police officer.

A regular police officer would have shot me.

You're different. I can trust you.

Was it you who sent that tip?

Who's Florence?

I don't know.

Who's the leader of River of Life?

Just think about it for a moment.

When River of Life kills someone who always profits from it?

Nobody does.

Everything is connected to the institute.

River of Life is an illusion,

it's a specter used to scare customers.

Just ask Rohan. He founded it.

That's fucking bullshit.

Kristina didn't believe me at first either,

but I've got solid evidence.

I gave it to her to keep safe.

Leave him alone. He hasn't done anything wrong.

Viktor, get out of here. Run!

Don't make me have to hurt him.

We're his only chance of surviving through this.

Viktor, do it, get out of here!

You said that you trusted me.

Yeah, but you don't trust me.

[AI] The emergency services have automatically been called

to the scene of the accident.

Please do not leave the scene of the accident.

Stay inside.

What are you doing?

I have to make a backup for him.

What's the data sent to the server?

The console will turn into a tracking device.

Do you know how to block it?

Are you listening? Do something!

Hold on, hold on.

That ought to block the signal. Here, let me try.

Come on.

[Em] Come on, come on.

[AI] Connection error. The data could not be sent.

Please try again later.

I guess I should be happy he's dead.

But I'm not.

Maybe you're human after all. Give me a hand with him.

[AI] Connection offline.

Danger of absolute death. -We have to restore him.

Well, we can't take him to the institute.

Can't you manage it anywhere else?

Come on, are you serious?

Hey, I wasn't educated in this field, all right.

Educated.

The university. It's got the first restoration unit.

[David] I have lectures here.

I mean, I used to.

I really need that backup disk.

Help me with him.

[Em] He said something in the church.

He said Rohan founded River of Life.

Do you know about it?

If that's true, then I'm better off not knowing about it.

Why's that?

It's true that sometimes River of Life

has been a big help to us.

They provided us with lots of marketing material.

After all, we've been able to restore everyone

they've killed.

Not everyone.

That's true. Not everyone.

Did you know?

Did you know that people might be dying

just so the institute could get their hands on more clients?

Of course we didn't know that.

How can you say that with such certainty?

You can't remember the last six months.

I didn't do anything wrong.

My job is to restore people.

For Rohan, it might be a lucrative business,

but for me, it's a mission.

I'm not having it taken away from me

because of some damn suspicion.

So if you had to choose between the institute being shut down

or staying open and people dying as a result,

then your mission would be more important.

No.

[David] Look at me for Christ's sake,

I'm here restoring the man who murdered my wife.

Just so I can prove without any doubt

that I didn't kill her myself.

Even though I could just let it go.

Court will pin it on him anyway.

I didn't know anything about Rohan.

I couldn't have lived with myself.

[AI] Restoration commenced.

After restoration, the data is automatically sent

to the institute's servers.

I can't change that.

If Viktor really knows something...

Rohan won't want any witnesses.

But I've got a plan. Maybe.

There's just one thing that I need to know.

What's the name Kristina chose for your child?

Florence.

[Em] Captain, sir, not too long ago, you told me

my biggest fault was that I'm not a team player.

So now I'm asking you to join my team.

[Captain] Have you lost your mind?

This course of action has only two possible outcomes.

Either you end up in prison or in a coffin,

and neither of those scenarios appeals to me.

Let's have a look at him.

Welcome back.

Now you owe me one.

They'll be here any minute. You need to back up.

First, tell me what happened that night.

No, I'll tell you everything after.

Do you really want to go back six months again?

Yes.

The university? No, no.

It's probably just a glitch in the system or some students.

Nothing to worry about. Thank you.

I know where they are.

Now, you.

[Viktor] Why?

Why'd you bring me back? Nobody asked you to do that.

You said you had evidence. Proof about River of Life.

About Rohan.

Do you think Rohan wants to kill me

because of that virus?

N-no, it's not about what I implanted in the system.

No, this is about what I took out of it.

What? -Encrypted transactions.

Cryptocurrency payments direct from Rohan.

Payments for what?

Payments for every terrorist attack ever committed

by River of Life.

But I no longer have them.

You gave them to Kristina.

[Viktor] She promised she'd show them to him

and that he'd understand.

That if he gave them to the cops,

then they'd believe him.

That's what you have at home in your safe?

So why did your kill her then? -You're trying to accuse me.

But I know that you know the truth.

You know that's bullshit!

He had a good plan.

He killed Kristina in the place where we'd arranged to meet.

And his great plan was to restore her

using an old backup from the time before we had met.

So he'd get her back.

No, that's not true, I...

[Viktor] He had a disc containing her old backup

with him.

He wanted to pin the murder on me.

When I found Kristina, she had already been killed.

I couldn't let him restore her

knowing she wouldn't have wanted that.

So I decided to erase her backup.

And thousands of others too.

So you did kill my wife!

[Em] David!

Kristina paid her price.

She lived a free life without fear.

She never needed any back-ups.

[Em] So that's why you had those injections at home?

For post restoration syndrome for Kristina.

Why else would they have been there?

Unless you thought that you were going to need

to use them at some point?

I took Kristina's disc from him.

That was my only evidence.

I'm sorry about this, David.

[Mansfeld] Congratulations, Em. Excellent work again.

It's a strange feeling, isn't it?

Having that gap in your memory.

The last thing I remember was entering your house.

And then I woke up and they told me

I'd got a bullet right in the head.

The ends justify the means. -Yes.

So, the safe.

He doesn't remember the password.

He can't remember what it is.

A white knuckle ride on the wave of morality.

Without restoration.

You're just a puppet of Rohan's.

This isn't about Rohan.

It's about protecting society. That's my job.

I'm very sorry.

All right, I'll give you what you want.

Don't. Don't tell him anything.

But you'll let us go.

Does she know the combination and what's actually inside?

Excellent work. Well done.

I'll pick it up. Thank you.

I think you know already what needs to be done.

For the greater good.

Do you know what the true beauty of the restore point is?

You can use it if you want to. But there's no obligation to.

Is that your idea of the greater good?

I'm just protecting the system that protects us all.

There's nothing you can do.

You won't get away with this.

My colleagues are on their way right now.

But they aren't here yet and you don't have any backups.

So, c'est la vie.

[Captain] Detective Trochinowska

sends her regards.

I'm very glad to see you're back. Back on the team.

Rohan is done, he's going to prison for a while.

But as for Kurlstat, I couldn't touch him.

Are they letting him go?

Sadly, that was beyond my bargaining powers.

A lot of influential people still want the institute

to be privatized,

and they want it to be headed by someone they can trust.

But he's a murderer.

Well, the ethics are a little gray here.

We know that David Kurlstat committed a murder, yes.

But according to what his brain remembers,

the David Kurlstat we have with us now

didn't kill anyone.

And what's more, you were absolutely right about Florence.

He really did send the tip himself.

He wanted to stop Rohan and save lives.

In the end, we have to take that into account.

I presume that Toffer and Mansfeld are also pardoned.

No. Mansfeld is going to prison just like Rohan.

And Toffer's aunt has filed a lawsuit against the institute

for restoring Viktor without authorization.

Of course. Naturally.

Tell me, Trochinowska,

what's the last thing you remember?

I told Mansfeld that I wasn't working by myself.

That my team was on its way.

We're very lucky to have you.

Detective, I'm glad to see you.

Did you get my gift?

Actually, I've got something for you.

You had it with you on the night of the murder.

I hope it'll serve you as a sufficient reminder

of what you did.

And of the life that you sacrificed.
