My goodness.

- You’re here? - Yes.

Yes, I didn’t want to...

I didn’t want to call.

I can’t stop thinking about Josef.

It was so tragic.

Yes, it is tragic.

Yes.

You don’t think it’s a bit odd?

That he died so suddenly?

Bjørn.

When I was young, I played soccer.

For a godawful team, to be honest.

But...

this one year, when I was about 16,

we made it into the final

in the Oppland Invitational Cup.

It was a big deal.

So we had to celebrate.

That night, the night before the final.

That was prohibited.

If it were discovered, we could forget about playing.

And there was a guy on the team, a reserve called Fegge.

He thought he was twice as good as he really was.

He thought he should play.

In addition, he was a fucking bastard.

So I knew straight away that he would rat on us.

So I called and asked my brother to come over with the car.

And my brother came.

I went outside with Fegge,

and we threw him in the trunk.

He was there for ten hours.

When we let him out, we had won the final.

I see.

Good.

So that’s what you could call a goddamn stroke of luck for the others,

that they had a teammate willing to do what had to be done.

Stick with me, and you’ll be fine.

You know those tests on the net to prove you’re not a bot?

Clicking on lamp posts and things.

Please, can we just focus on this, okay?

Sure. I just think they can be quite hard,

because if the lamp post is partly in the other frame,

or if you’re on your phone,

the images are tiny.

And? What’s your point?

I just... I sympathize with the system.

Hey, I’m going to Mali tomorrow, so I really must focus.

It’s not just what square you click on that...

You’re in intelligence, but suck at finding stuff.

It’s your apartment. You don’t know where the smoke detector is?

- Good point. - Yeah.

- We can try tonight. Bye. - Bye.

- Have a nice day. - You too.

Bjørn Urdal?

Hi. Kaja Rysst from the Intelligence Service.

Hi.

I need your explanation of what happened in Mali.

After Josef died,

you’re the only Norwegian witness who was there.

Okay.

I don’t know what happened. No one wants to tell me anything.

I suggest you watch Dagsnytt 18.

I gave all my answers there.

Hi, Bjørn.

- We’re on the first floor. - Okay.

Is my wallet here? Yeah.

- Lucky you didn’t leave. - Yeah.

See you tonight.

Bye.

I’ll do the intro and you can just follow my lead.

You think the Americans want to buy?

Marius?

- The US? They want to buy? - Yes, that’s right.

And the UK. They’ve contacted the ministry.

There are a few high-ups, including the foreign minister,

who have some concerns, but I think we can address them.

They have concerns?

How do we know?

We just know, Bjørn.

Shall we go?

It’s unfortunate we heard of your progress on the drone

via the media.

The project is funded by the military, isn’t it?

Yes, but things moved quickly.

The French needed help, and it was the best chance to test the technology.

We didn’t know ourselves how far we had come

before we saw the operation and how successful it was.

We can at least tell you

that both the US and the UK

have expressed a lot of interest in this,

and they will contact you to discuss a purchase.

That drone is actually autonomous, isn’t it?

If it’s...

That’s right.

There’s a “man in the loop” now, but it can be run 100% autonomously.

We’re ready as soon as all of this is legal.

Actually, we are ready to both produce and sell it now.

- Provided there’s no autonomous use. - Right.

- This is very good. - Yes.

Excuse me, but I think...

I think we’re getting ahead of ourselves.

It turns out that there is

a small software bug that...

that has presented us with some challenges.

There is.

What do you mean?

We’ve run some tests that show that we can’t trust

the autonomous system completely, so...

We can’t trust the decisions it makes, and...

But you’ll work it out soon, won’t you?

Absolutely. So we’re hoping

to have everything in place before long.

So you’re not ready for mass production?

No. No. Unfortunately, we’re not quite there yet.

You’ll have to stall the Americans a bit longer.

What was that?

You just sabotaged a deal with the US and UK.

Do you get how much we’re talking about?

I won’t sell a defective drone again.

- I’m responsible, right? - Yes, but you have to...

They’ll still be interested in a few weeks, won’t they?

We just have to fix the problem.

See you.

And what’s with you?

You were totally zoned out.

Bjørn!

Hey, look at this house for sale in Rånåsfoss.

What do you think?

It looks perfect to me. And we’ll be closer to AGR.

I think we’ll have a couple of million left for renovations.

We should have moved to the countryside long ago.

Think of all that space.

You’re not changing?

A suit’s a bit much for a scorekeeper.

Let’s get going.

- You’re wearing a suit? - Yeah. That’s the way it is.

Okay. Just go ahead. I have to pee.

I don’t want to use the changing room.

You know that...

we don’t have to move, right?

It’s just an idea. I get it if you don’t want to.

No, I think it’ll be good.

Don’t you want to move?

Sure.

You don’t?

I do. I’m just saying that we don’t have to.

No, I’m all for it. I think it’ll be good.

Can you honk the horn?

- Dad? Can you honk for Mom? - Yeah.

I miss the green grass of my Brittany too.

- Hello? - Hi. Hi, it’s me. It’s Amy, hi.

Yeah, I saw that.

What’s up?

No, it’s just...

I’m in Mali.

I need help, there are still problems

with the drone.

This is the match clock, and start and stop,

and here’s the horn for when you need to contact the umpire.

This is team error for the home team, and this one’s for the away team,

and on this side you have the points,

so two points when the umpire shows two, and three points for three.

And penalties are always one point.

Over there is the 24-second clock,

and it’s 24 seconds

each time the opposing team gets the ball,

and 14 seconds when it hits the ring.

Okay?

Okay.

So... that’s start and stop,

and the points are there.

You take the points.

We can get a private viewing of that house.

And this was... Yes, “correction”.

Say when you’re free and the agent should be fine.

Can we just focus on this now, please?

Okay.

Which one was away, and which one was home?

I guess we’re the home team.

Yes, but is the home team this side and the away team...

that side?

You could have asked the coach when he was here.

Don’t ask me.

Sorry.

- Don’t forget to stop the clock. - No, no.

And you know how the 24-second clock works?

- The 24-second clock? - You add 14 when we...

And relax. You’ll be fine.

- Just remember that clock. - Yeah, we’ll remember.

Good luck.

What is it?

Can we just focus on this now?

Is it something I’ve said or done?

No, I’m just nervy about a work thing. I’ve done something...

stupid.

At work?

I mean, have you...

What?

- Have you done it again? - What?

Dad!

- No. - Dad!

- Come on. - Yeah.

No, of course I haven’t. I’m so disappointed you’d think that.

What have you done, then?

Number 12 scored. Write it down.

Press that button. We’ll discuss it later.

It killed six...

young boys.

They were kids playing soccer.

They didn’t have guns or...

anything like that.

What do you mean, “it”?

The drone.

It killed on its own.

It decided on its own who to kill.

And it chose kids playing soccer?

Yes.

Is this the operation you defended on Dagsnytt 18?

Why haven’t you said anything?

I don’t know.

For a number of reasons, as you’d understand.

Last time, you were corrupt and now you’re a war criminal?

No, it wasn’t my fault.

I was tricked.

I’m in serious trouble.

I think they’re dangerous.

You were tricked? Again?

Weren’t you tricked the last time, too?

Yeah.

That wasn’t your fault either. You were totally innocent.

- Yeah. Yes, I was. - Yes, you were?

You didn’t know anything.

How could you know it wasn’t okay

to secretly agree to a top job in the company

right before you gave them a load of taxpayer money?

- Poor you. An innocent victim. - Where’s this sprung from?

I just need to...

I don’t know if I can take another round of this.

Maybe we should invite some people to dinner soon? Some people from work?

Was that upstairs?

Yeah.

It’s like Chinese water torture.

You just lie there and wait, not knowing when it will beep.

I don’t know how you can sleep.

And how can you not know where you placed a smoke detector?

And dinner? What do you think?

Sure.

I was thinking Ole, Madeleine, Rikke,

and Bjørn, maybe.

Do you know him?

- Bjørn? - Urdal, who took over Mette’s job.

Oh.

No.

No? You’ve never met him?

No, I don’t think I’ve met him.

That was here.

Yes!

Stupid place to keep a smoke detector. Now we can sleep.

BJØRN URDAL - BUSINESS EXECUTIVE

BANKRUPTCY - DUE TO BJØRN URDAL

AGR HIRES CONVICTED OFFICIAL BJØRN URDAL

BJØRN URDAL CORRUPT

BJØRN URDAL CHARGED WITH CORRUPTION - “I’M INNOCENT”

Bjørn.

Here you go.

Coffee for you.

Are you okay?

Thanks.

Did you know that I’ve never searched for my own name?

After what happened.

And you did it last night?

- How was it? - It was awful. I regret it.

It was painful.

It was painful to read it in black and white.

What actually happened.

What I did.

You were right.

I knew what I was doing...

Like, really.

So what happens now?

I just don’t know how to solve it.

But I’ll take responsibility and...

Yes?

Yes.

I’m thinking about my project, and...

I want to take it away from AGR. Try again.

- You’ll leave AGR? - Of course, after what you’ve told me.

This is Kaja Rysst.

Hi, this is Bjørn Urdal.

Hi.

I’m just wondering what you...

think I know.

I’d like to know what really happened in Mali.

What’s reaching our office feels a bit too polished.

Maybe nothing happened.

Mette wanted to talk to me.

I don’t know about what, but she dies and you come in,

without any relevant experience.

Then you go to Mali to help the French military free two hostages,

one of the hostages is whisked off by the French,

and the Norwegian one dies.

Maybe there’s a natural explanation, but I...

If there’s not a natural explanation,

and if I decide to talk to you,

I will need some sort of guarantee.

Amnesty or something like that.

That’s tricky.

You’ll have to tell me what happened and we’ll take it from there.

Hello?

Because you don’t claim ownership of our relationship.

- I don’t, though. - So generous.

I know what you’ve been doing, Kaja.

Oh, I dozed off. Sorry.

Did you hear what I said?

No. Or...

You know what I’m doing?

I think you should move out.

You’ve tapped my phone?

Sorry. I just saw that you’d called a meeting.

I talked to HC yesterday about buying his technology.

Amy isn’t getting anywhere, so this might be our only option.

- What did he say? - He wants to talk.

He’s desperate for money, as we all know.

The legal department is ready to make both sides happy.

Right. So he’s on his way here now?

Okay.

Alain has threatened to withdraw totally,

so we have to act fast.

Right.

- Do I have time to go to the bathroom first? - Of course.

Hi.

Don’t sell.

Trust me. Whatever they offer, don’t accept.

What the hell? I’m broke. I have a huge mortgage.

No one else is interested in investing.

AGR is the reason for that. You were right, they’re bastards.

They’ve actively ruined you and tried to copy your system.

You can retaliate.

Sell now, and AGR could become one of our top arms suppliers.

If you don’t, AGR will disappear. Wouldn’t that be great?

Make up for all the shit they’ve done.

- Yes. Shall we go in? - Yes.

I thought you were lost.

I met him in the elevator and tried to offer him coffee.

No, thanks.

I’ve already had four cups, so...

- Hi. - Hello. Are you doing all right?

Yes, thank you.

You too, I hope.

- You’re in good health? - I can’t complain.

Thank you.

Right, dear friends, I guess we’ve all reached a point

where we can agree to let bygones be bygones.

The whole situation was a bit like Fleksnes.

The one where no one will reverse their car.

They’re all so stubborn.

Madeleine, run us through the contract.

Of course.

AGR is willing to offer

seven million for your patent.

Which will be paid today if you sign.

That’s generous.

You’re worth it.

You think so?

I really appreciate the offer.

But I’m afraid I have to say no.

Talk to you later.

I’m sorry.

I’ll talk to him.

Amazing. Thank you.

I’m so fucked. I don’t know who will invest in me now.

I’ll help you. Okay?

Do you have seven million to spare?

I’ll say you want to think about it so the process will be long.

- Yeah, do what you have to. - Okay. I’ll call you soon.

They won’t give up, but if you don’t sell, they’ll go under.

Fuck AGR.

Yeah.

- It’s two million more than he’d asked for. - A year ago.

He knows he has a better hand since we invited him here.

It’s a negotiation. Nobody starts and just...

I’ve talked to him, and this isn’t about money.

For HC, this has become personal.

He wants you, or us, to beg.

Okay. I’ll go to Mali

and try to calm Alain down. He’s had enough of Amy, understandably.

Marius, you’ll talk to HC and close the deal.

You know, I don’t think that’s... No.

I think that would be the wrong strategy.

HC is bitter at you, Ole.

Right? This is personal. He wants an apology.

And he wants it to come from you.

That should be your focus.

I mean, I can talk to Alain. That’s no problem.

I don’t think your relationship is very strong...

Let Bjørn finish.

The best thing for the company, and for everyone sitting here, I assume,

is that I handle anything to do with Ammo drone sales

until the legislation is in place.

Isn’t that what our agreement says?

Good.

Good, Bjørn. We’ll do it like that.

Right.

Good.

I’ll contact Alain right away.

So I’m just saying that it might help me to fix it

if I just understood what the object is.

It is classified.

Yeah, but is it a recon or hostages?

Just ballpark?

Why does it matter to you?

Just fix the product you have sold us.

Yes, we will.

I’m just saying it would be helpful if I knew how to prioritize.

So...

Um...

So, maybe, like, if you could just tell me...

what’s the next mission?

- I’m sorry. - That’s all right.

A work-related injury.

Do you know anyone who has died? In combat?

No Norwegians, but I knew a French guy.

They’ve lost quite a few.

What if it didn’t have to be like that?

What?

I mean, those situations. We should...

We should be able to avoid them.

Technically speaking,

if you eliminate the dangerous situations for our soldiers, then...

But it’s war.

I have to get going.

See you later.

Bjørn!

Come with me.

The whole APL works as it should.

I can’t find any weaknesses

when I test against Starmind, and a drone’s cognitive architecture...

- Amy? - Sorry. Am I talking too fast?

I don’t understand a word.

The French are about to leave Mali.

And Alain isn’t a good loser.

I fear he’ll do something insane as soon as the drone is ready.

Like?

Release them all over Mali, and finish this.

That’s what he says. “Let them go to work.”

But he can’t do that.

It’s like a full-blown worst-case scenario

for everyone who wants to put a stop to this technology.

But you’re fixing it.

No! Not any more.

You’re sitting here trying to fix it.

I’m resigning. I’m going to quit.

I’m meeting Alain.

- I need you to come. - Now?

Just to...

back me up when I say it isn’t working.

Just in case he has any questions that I can’t answer.

There’s a problem with the technology,

and we don’t know how to solve it.

We don’t even know what’s wrong.

And Ole is stubborn.

He doesn’t want to give up, but...

I think you deserve to know.

I’m really, really sorry,

and we do understand if you want to cancel the deal.

Cancel?

Is this some Norwegian humor?

Psychological tactic?

Oh, no.

You have to sit here.

Sit here.

Okay.

So they see you on camera.

Well, Bjørn. Did the trip go well?

Hi, Bjørn.

You see, we talked to HC while you were in the air.

So we couldn’t include you in that loop, I’m afraid.

It was expensive, but that’s the way it is.

I apologize, Alain, for speaking Norwegian.

But we have got wonderful news for you.

We have bought the missing parts of the technology.

Great.

HC, how quickly can you fix the codes?

Um, well, I’m not sure...

I will look into the codes again, for sure.

But you have an estimate, I presume?

Uh, yes...

An estimate. I will...

Yes.

Sorry, Alain. Just give me a second, will you?

What’s going on?

Before I say anything else...

The contract is signed, right?

- What? - You can’t pull out?

- The point, please. - The systems are identical.

You’ve just copy-pasted my system, my codes.

So I can’t see

anything wrong with the system.

I mean, it’s... It should work.

Anything wrong? What’s going on, Ole?

Sorry, Colonel. Can I call you back, please?

No. No, that’s okay. I can...

I can do the translation here, Ole.

No problem. They’re saying

that the new system is

identical to the old.

It’s...

It’s the same. So there was never

anything technically wrong with Amy’s system.

It’s... it’s still not working, so...

We’re really sorry,

but it seems like we are still...

What do you call it...

Fucked. Yeah.

- What? - Yeah.

I don’t know what happened the last time,

but whatever it is...

Can you speak in English?

Yeah.

I don’t know what happened the last time you tried it,

but whatever it did, the drone did what it calculated

to be the best thing in that given situation,

so there’s nothing wrong with the system itself.

It should be working fine.

So we are good to go?

Yeah.

Great. Then I will wait for your shipment as soon as possible.

Of course.

Of course, Alain.

You will have them by the end of the week.
