- Previously on Class of '09... - _

- Ow! - It saved her.

It sent her into danger.

And it will learn from its mistakes.

But it won't pay for them.

What are you doing here?

Putting together a team.

The system's generating so many leads,

I-I can't do it all on my own.

Most people believe that there's a justice system for them

and a justice system for corporate America,

and that's why I want to go after Wall Street.

Wall Street?

Yes, sir.

These are very powerful,

Well-connected people.

The banks fight back.

Aah!

Make no mistake,

they'll come after the Bureau in all sorts of ways.

Who sent you?

Who?!

First the banks, what next?

Corrupt politicians.

Tayo, we have no idea what the system will find.

Law enforcement

- has surrounded this apartment. - _

An arrest is imminent.

- Please lay face down on the floor, - Good luck.

And no harm will come to you.

FBI!

He gave this to me right before he died.

Special Agent Poet, you've been lied to.

_

Let me be very clear.

We are never

going back.

There will be no more warnings.

- It is not your fault. - No?

So whose fault is it?

What are you doing?

I'm shutting it down, Warren.

Your Tayo's appointee, aren't you?

Yes, that's right.

Tayo is not director anymore.

_

Mm.

- Hey. - Hey.

How do you feel?

I feel...

uh, mad as hell, Poet. That's how I feel.

You think someone tried to have you killed?

What do you think?

I said if you can't prove a conspiracy,

that all those who have been opposed to you...

They'll try and use it against you.

Say you're paranoid and that you're not fit for office.

Well, they're already saying that, aren't they?

Who do you think is behind it?

That's why you're here.

After my father died in the line of duty,

my mother was so afraid

when I joined the Bureau.

You never,

um...

Can I ask how he was killed?

The man who shot my father...

He was pulled over

by these two officers that were considered colleagues.

When they stopped him,

they noticed that he had a gun on his passenger seat,

and when they questioned him about it,

he explained it away by saying that he was

afraid of being carjacked "because of"

"all the niggers in the area." His words.

These two white officers,

they didn't run any checks.

Didn't run any tags.

Didn't even see if he had a gun permit.

They just took him for his word, because...

A few days later, my father was responding

to a domestic disturbance, and when he arrived at the home,

that man shot my father dead, right there.

On the steps.

With that same unchecked gun.

And those colleagues of my father... they denied

that they ever saw a weapon in the first place.

And the department

did everything they could to cover it up.

They defended these men, they protected them

because white beats Black when you're blue, right?

That's why you joined?

That is exactly why I joined.

They killed my father,

and they tried to kill me,

but I won't let them kill this chance for change.

Kyle Wilcox. No bank account.

Dishonorably discharged from the military.

We'll need more than that to prove someone hired him.

Okay. Well, there was no cash on him,

no meaningful stash of drugs.

There was also no assets of any kind,

and if someone bought him or bribed him,

there's no evidence of that either.

They, uh, must have got to him somehow.

Crime is

"murder for hire."

Let's see who the system pulls up as suspects, shall we?

315 possible suspects.

Out of the entire country?

Ranked by probability.

Well, who's most likely?

Aaron Dow.

Looks like they overlapped in the military.

Hmm. Kyle was discharged, but Aaron stayed on,

became a private contractor,

worked for Blackwater.

Was in Iraq, Afghanistan.

And who's he working for now?

Whoever it is is protected.

Can you unlock it?

No.

Well, who the hell sealed these files?

Who ordered the hit?

A few months ago,

after the arrests on Wall Street and the collapse of that bank,

I was ordered to explain how this new system worked.

Attending the presentation were representatives

from every branch of the federal government,

law enforcement, the military,

the intelligence agencies.

I knew the news would spread.

It worried a lot of very

- powerful people. - Who ordered the hit?

I know that you know.

I don't know.

I don't want to know.

Nor should you.

Just so you know, there is nothing heroic

about looking the other way, sir.

I'm not asking you to take one for the team, Tayo.

I'm asking you to lead the team.

I'm gonna step down as director one year early.

It's highly likely that you would be

the leading candidate to replace me.

You can keep the system.

But there's a catch, right?

Yes, exemptions were demanded.

A list of people who can never be considered suspects.

How many?

The number necessary for the orderly running of society.

Spies. Diplomats.

Senators. The president.

So I can implement the system, but those are the terms?

You need to decide, Tayo.

Is this your office?

Viv.

I was right.

I was right.

Those bastards sent somebody to kill us.

Hey, you hear what I just said?

Yeah, I heard you. You don't need to convince me.

We've been worrying about being killed our whole lives.

We'll always be worrying. I-I don't...

Well, see, that's the thing.

I have everything I need to change that.

The director... He's stepping down,

and there's an opening at the top.

And they said that it's mine

if I want to take it, and I'm gonna take it.

I'm sorry, a killer was sent to our home,

and when that doesn't work, they dangle a promotion in front of you?

That's not what's happening.

That's exactly what's happening.

You should be demanding justice, Tayo.

Well, how exactly do you think I'm gonna do that, Viv?

If I take this position I can demand justice.

I can be justice.

You can't do it this way. They're trying to shut you up.

This is the only way to do it.

This promotion is the best thing that could ever happen to us.

Okay.

I am leaving this house.

I want to sell this house.

I want to move away from all of this.

So we move and go where?

I don't care. I r... I don't care where I go.

But I can't stay in this house any longer.

Somebody came to our home and tried to kill us

and we survived 'cause that's what we do.

We survived, you and me,

and you want to do, what, you just want to run?

Admit to them that we've given up?

I want to be safe.

Is that so hard?

Well, I want everyone to be safe.

This is...

...so much bigger than me and you.

Yes, it is.

Well, I'm not turning my back on this.

And I'm gonna do it with or without you.

_

- Hey. - Hey.

You okay?

Yeah.

No.

Poet, the only reason why I didn't resign from the Bureau

a long time ago is because of you.

Why would you resign?

They stole my work and fucked it up.

Your work is gonna be at the center

of everything the Bureau does.

I didn't design it to be at the center,

I designed it to be

a balance between the benefits of technology

and the brilliance of people.

This A.I. system only cares about agents

as information gatherers.

I'm using it to arrest killers

who have been murdering women for decades.

Not everyone is like you.

- If this goes wide... - It's gonna go wide.

It's the first thing that Tayo's going to do

- when he becomes director. - Okay,

well, who's gonna check all of its computations?

All its deductions?

Do you even know what that means?

You could work with Tayo.

I don't want to work with Tayo!

This is not about him, this is about the system itself.

God, this is my area of expertise, not yours or his.

I'm sorry that you feel pushed to the sidelines.

I don't feel that way,

I have been pushed to the sidelines.

I created this whole thing to be a tool

for agents to make better decisions,

not so that they could be replaced.

I do not accept that.

I do my job because I love

being in the middle of shit, making a difference.

I am not alone in that.

Listen to me.

You need to trust me.

If we don't stop this, this could

fundamentally change the Bureau.

Can you please talk to Tayo?

I've never asked you for anything.

What are you really asking?

I'm not asking you to choose me.

It feels that way.

Congratulations, Director.

Amos, some exemptions were demanded.

Certain key figures. You understand.

- Exemptions? - A list of people

that the system can't include as suspects, yes.

Tayo, you cannot exclude people from the code.

National security exemptions are not uncommon.

Now, we either accommodate them

or our dream dies.

This is a machine-learning system,

and it was designed under the premise that everyone

was to be considered a suspect until proven otherwise.

I've already agreed, Amos. I had no choice.

I took this position as director of the Bureau

to change it, and I need the system to do that.

You can't have it.

It's not your decision anymore.

I don't have the luxury of just walking away.

But just so I'm very clear,

I am not asking you

or anyone else for permission.

- Do you understand me? - So that's why the agents are here.

In case I, what,

lock you out of the code? Stop you from altering it?

Secure the premises.

You do this, there's no telling what will happen.

Welcome, Director.

Now we go nationwide.

Every field office, every agent.

Crime is down... way down. It has dipped

an astounding 55% since the FBI implemented

- its new A.I. system. - The largest increase

in federal arrests over the last seven years

has been so-called white collar crime.

Corruption, fraud, insider trading, embezzlement.

The chamber of commerce has called it

a socialist witch hunt.

At Ivy League universities across the country,

wealthy, elite students are being identified as drug dealers,

causing a rethink in drug policy.

A man armed with a semi-automatic rifle

was intercepted on his way to a gay club in Miami

in what is believed to be one of the first cases

of an artificial intelligence generated alert.

There are isolated reports around the country of arrests

being made by the FBI,

not for crimes people have committed,

but crimes they're likely to commit.

When we asked the Bureau for comment,

they simply said the suspects were an imminent threat.

A wave of arrests was launched by the FBI today

against people who all claimed to have done nothing wrong

in what has become a growing trend

of using data to predict crime.

Mass protests have broken out against

what is being called a surveillance state.

The protest became violent

when some of the protestors were arrested.

There is now taking place

an exodus of people moving out of the city

to live in rural areas where there is no surveillance.

_

Director Warren,

the system is recommending we make the arrest.

Do you want to overrule it?

No.

It's the Bureau.

What do they want?

I don't know.

- Okay, stay calm. - No, I need for you

- to go inside, okay? - I'm staying right here.

Hey, look, I don't have business with you anymore,

you don't have business with me, okay?

We're not here for you.

We're here for Ms. McMann.

- What? - What do you mean?

You're being arrested.

What am I being charged with?

You encourage known revolutionaries

to use violence against the system.

These are former students.

We were debating the history of protest.

Your new book.

Which has not yet been published.

Which has been read.

It's a collection of anti-A.I. accounts.

Oh, come on, man. People can publish whatever they want.

Sir, there's a high probability of certainty

that your wife will be at the center of a plot

to destroy the system you helped create.

Okay. Let-let me review the evidence,

but I'm not coming with you now.

- We have our orders. - Your orders are wrong.

Get off my land. Hey,

- get off me! What are you doing? - Hey.

Viv...

Tayo!

Tayo! Let me look at him. Tayo!

Tayo! Answer me!

Tayo! Tayo!

Get off me!

Tayo, answer me!

Your data profile is being compiled.

All data about you is being collated.

Step forward.

State your name.

Vivienne McMann.

Ms. McMann, your A.I. data profile is complete.

This way.

All rise.

You may be seated.

This looks like a courtroom.

You look like judges.

This looks like a trial.

Except no decisions of any consequence

will be made in this courtroom.

And no decision of any consequence

will be made by the people in this courtroom.

The verdict will depend entirely

on calculations we cannot see or hear.

We have the authority to throw you in jail for contempt, Counsel.

Judge, that's all the authority you do have.

I'm going to overlook those remarks.

- For now. - What is the case against me?

My thoughts?

The books I've bought?

The people I associate with?

What I might do? What I might say?

Is this what our society has come to?

The system was intended to catch criminals,

not judge our futures and decide our fates.

We are more than just the information

about our lives.

We cannot be reduced to code

and then judged by the code

we're reduced to.

She's brilliant.

- Maybe there's a chance. - No.

The verdict was already decided before the trial even began.

So, what do we do?

We find a way to hit back.

We shut down the system?

Break into the data center, change the code.

Is that even possible?

- No, it's not. - The location is classified.

There have multiple locations now.

Can you get us into the original location?

- To do what, Hour? - An EMP pulse

would shut down all the servers.

Amos left us a way to reprogram the code

so that it can't be altered.

That's what was on the card he gave me before he was killed.

Exactly.

To continue using it, they'd have to

admit that they had no control over it.

No data deletion, no evidence removal.

Everyone's a suspect.

If we go through with this, we are going to be arrested.

There's-there's no question about it.

- Isn't that the point? - Think about it.

No exceptions, no exemptions.

Everyone's equal in the eyes of the law.

If we eliminate the exceptions, they'll have to shut it down.

How long?

We're close.

Open the door!

We're in.

Come on, let's go!

Let's move.

Reprogram.

What have you done?

Made sure people like you can't abuse this power.

It's either an unbiased system or it's off.

You're about to be sworn in as a class.

And that's it.

You'll be special agents.

No more tests.

Only the test that really counts:

what you make of yourselves.

Hey.

How you doing? You made it.

You look...

- beautiful, as always. - Aw, thank you.

Oh.

Oh, my goodness, I'm so proud of you.

Thank you.

And if your father was here, he would have been proud of you, too.

You really think so?

He wouldn't think I was foolish for doing this?

Not for one moment.

All right, best behavior, please?

- Hi, baby, how are you? - Hi.

- I'm good. How are you? - Good to see you.

Uh, Mom, Vivienne. Vivienne, Mom.

Oh, my gosh, it's so nice to meet you.

Oh, I've heard so much about you, my dear.

Oh, my goodness.

But I had no idea how beautiful you are.

Oh, thank you. That's sweet.

Don't act so shocked, Mom.

I'm not acting shocked.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Appreciate that, I really do.

See you.

- Hey. - Hey.

Parents here?

My dad is in Kazakhstan.

My mom is in Buenos Aires.

What are they doing there?

Not being here.

You must miss your mom today.

So much it hurts.

Wish I could have met her.

I wish that, too.

Sorry.

Okay, ladies and gents, let's get in place

for the class photo, please. Right in front of the fountain.

Guys, come on, let's line it up.

You all look great.

Hustle up, guys.

Now that justice has been returned

to the hands of the people...

...all predictive arrests

have been nullified with immediate effect.

All cases based on deductions by the system

have been nullified with immediate effect.

This case is dismissed.

The Bureau's system is now off.

Crime is up.

We're entering one of the most challenging periods

in the Bureau's history.

You're the first of a new class here at Quantico.

Your first lesson will involve teaching you

about how justice is about more than probability.

It's about exceptions, good and bad.

An instructor once told me

that the FBI is its people.

We would like to make that true again.

So, class of 2034,

who are you?

That's what we would like to find out.

I'd like you each to stand up and tell me who you were,

who you are,

and who you want to be.

My mission was always to change this country's incredibly biased

law enforcement system into one that reflected equality.

But instead of removing

the systemic treatment of people of color

as suspects first and human beings second,

I ushered in a system where every human being,

regardless of their background, was...

made a suspect first.

Many argue the bet I made at the Bureau was misguided,

but for the first time in our history,

people from very different walks of life

found themselves on the same side

of America's justice system...

together.

And that's a start.

Okay.

Little closer together.

Ready?

And three, two, one.
