Josef to base. Over.

Base responding. Over.

We’re under an hour away from the village.

We’ll report back at the checkpoint

in about 20 minutes.

- Over. - Copy that. Over.

Did you sleep well?

Someone kept me awake last night.

- What’s the time? - Okay...

Half past eight. We’re still an hour away.

I have to pee.

Where shall we go for our week off?

São Tomé. I need to see the sea.

Or maybe it’s time you met my family in France?

Maybe.

Or we could go to Oslo.

What do you say?

Oslo is cold.

- Okay. Are you done? - Yeah.

We’ll return in a few days to set up a health station at the school.

- We agree. - Great.

There you go.

Don’t cry.

I’m here to help you.

Yes, he has malaria.

No wonder he’s been unwell. Poor guy.

Thank you.

See you later.

YOU RISK COMPROMISE.

THE ENEMY IS ON THE MOVE NORTH OF KIDAL,

HEADING TOWARDS YOU.

He must take three sachets now,

three in eight hours,

then three sachets morning and night

for the next two days. Okay?

- Thank you. - You’re welcome.

- Hello, ma’am. - Hello.

Josef, we must go.

There are only a few more.

- Then we can... - We must go now.

- Now? - Yes!

There’s been an attack north of Kidal.

They may be heading this way.

- MNLA? - I’m guessing, but possibly.

They might be rebels who have crossed the border from Niger.

We have to go.

Josef to base. Over.

Base responding. Over.

We’re leaving the village earlier than planned

to avoid the possible threat.

What threat? Over.

The attack north of Kidal.

Over.

Report to base every half hour and before and after checkpoints. Over.

Will do. Over.

Damn.

Stop! Get out!

Out of the car!

Get out! Faster!

- Get out! - Yes!

Get out! Hands behind your head!

Move! Move!

Move! Hurry!

Move!

Get in!

Are you okay, Dad?

Dad.

Everyone’s waiting.

Yes.

Mette was brave.

She was strong until the very end.

But eventually, even Mette couldn’t take it any more, so...

Yes...

I find it hard to accept that she has left us before her time.

I’m going to miss her terribly.

As a colleague.

As a friend.

Mette was a philanthropist. She put others ahead of herself.

She thought about the community above all.

And we see the results of that

here in Rånåsfoss every single day.

The soccer pitch, the multi-purpose hall and the community center,

to name but a few.

Mette viewed AGR as a large family.

And large families...

will occasionally lose members.

But...

they can also gain new ones.

So although this is a very difficult day,

I still have the pleasure of introducing Bjørn Urdal.

Because I know that Mette was very happy

when she learned that Bjørn would become a part of this family.

I really wish this could have been a bit different.

I didn’t imagine this when you were hired.

To give you a heads-up. It will be quite hectic.

Right.

You’ll have some uncomfortable decisions to make

as you haven’t learned the ropes,

so we’ll help as best we can.

We’ve also established a separate company

to speed things up.

So you’ll be the provisional manager of GLT, Good Learning Technology.

This basically means you’re taking over Mette’s job.

Are you sure about this?

I feel a bit green. I mean, this is...

As I said, I’m certain this is what’s best for the company.

- You’ll get all the help needed. - It’s chaos now,

as you haven’t had time to get oriented, but we’ll help.

Rikke will brief you about everything that has to do

with the press.

Right. The press.

- Bjørn. - Hi. Rikke.

First up is the opening of the new indoor skate park.

It was Mette’s project, but now it’s yours.

Yeah, right.

Have a seat, please.

Okay.

- There you go. - If you can just look this way...

Let’s see... Could we take one without that key card?

Just put it out of frame. Let’s see.

Yeah, that’s good. And one, two...

Hi, Kari.

This is where it all began.

Most of our income comes from ammunition production, as you know,

and we hope the drones can help change that.

And we’re working on increasing female representation.

- Hi, ladies. - Hello.

I’ve brought along a new guy starting today. Bjørn.

- Hi. - Hi. Are you married?

- What? - Are you married?

- It’s good to know such things. - Straight to the point.

Let’s head to your department.

All new employees have to consider the ethical issues,

but the possibilities are endless.

Right, Amy?

- Hi. Amy. Nice to meet you. - Bjørn. Nice to meet you.

- Hi. Endre. - Bjørn.

I’ll leave you with Laurel and Hardy here.

- We’ll talk later. - Okay.

This is where Amy and I work.

We humans make decisions based on experience, information and gut feeling,

and we’re trying to do away with the latter.

This is a model of Ammo.

It has high-resolution and infrared cameras,

and microphones that can hear a whisper

from several hundred meters.

Gut feelings are spontaneous.

Sometimes they’re right, sometimes wrong.

But this drone is based on AI, so it just considers the facts.

It will never be wrong.

And it can assess situations

a thousand times faster than us.

- This is what I’m selling? - Yes.

It practically sells itself, right?

Yeah.

What’s the drone’s main purpose?

Actually, the technology can be used for anything.

In industry, it can detect a system error several days before humans.

In rescue services, it can work wonders in an avalanche.

- It can do things like that? - Of course.

But as a weapon?

It can also be used for anything.

Except as restricted by law.

A human must push the button, for example.

What’s the status?

The car has been found, two people kidnapped.

Our agent and a Norwegian aid worker.

The driver was killed.

- Heading home? - Yes. I’m going to Marius’ place.

We have a situation in Mali.

Could you find out all you can about a Josef Cissé,

a Norwegian who’s been kidnapped by some local guerrillas.

Okay? Keep me posted.

- Okay. - Thank you.

They lost track of them in the desert, but we suspect they’ve gone north.

Probably local rebels trying to earn some quick money,

so they’ll be changing location a lot until they sell them.

What is it?

One is one of our own.

We suspect they knew and have targeted them.

We need to find them ASAP.

Okay. Let’s go!

Damn it.

PICK UP, BIRK.

WE’RE 15 MINUTES LATE FOR THE MEETING.

Did it come?

That’s so cool.

Awesome.

It weighs nothing at all.

This is great.

Hey, congratulations.

Thanks.

Is something wrong?

Birk had a fight with that damned Fred again.

This is driving me nuts.

- What was it this time? - Search me.

He never tells me anything.

I hope I’ll get some more detail from his teacher.

There’ll be another meeting at the school.

I guess that means

you guys can’t come with me to Rånåsfoss tomorrow afternoon.

What happens at Rånåsfoss?

I’m opening a skate park.

Okay?

Since Mette passed away, I’ve taken over her responsibilities.

- Cutting ribbons? - Among other things.

- Did you get a promotion? - It seems like it.

- What is it? - No... It’s great.

It’s just... Isn’t it a bit soon?

When people die, I guess you have to move quickly.

Someone has to invest in the development of these things.

- Yeah, don’t you think so? - It’s just amazing.

Surely I can convince someone it’s a good idea.

It is a good idea.

Don’t move it. Just let it... It’s a little... Yeah.

There.

I’m proud of you.

- Thank you. - I’m really, really proud of you.

The park is now open.

This is super weird.

- Can we go? - We just arrived.

- I want to go. - But this park is great.

- Where’s your board? - I haven’t skated in years.

I’m sure you can rent one here.

I’m going to mingle with Dad.

Go and rent a board. I’ll send you money.

- Try to have fun. - But this isn’t fun.

- It is fun. - No.

There you go.

Thank you.

- Hi. - Hi.

Can I rent a skateboard here?

I serve waffles and ice cream.

Do you know if I can borrow one somewhere?

I don’t think so.

Right. Okay.

But, I mean...

If you want to, you can borrow mine.

- I’d love to. - As long as you give it back.

Of course. Thanks.

- Hi. - Can I get two waffles?

You’re welcome.

You look good.

It’s scary talking to the press again.

Here in Rånåsfoss, they’re only looking ahead.

The press here leave the past in the past.

- You know we’re not in Toten? - I thought we were in Toten.

I thought this was Toten.

Hi.

- Hi. - Did the skating go well?

I haven’t done it in ages, so I had to warm up.

I’m sure you did fine. Here’s a waffle.

I thought you might like one now.

Thanks.

Welcome to Rånåsfoss.

Welcome, both of you. Nice to see you here.

Thank you. It’s so great that you’ve built a whole skate park.

Well, we must contribute where we can.

But I heard you’re working on something exciting.

Oh?

Bjørn told me you’re developing a prosthesis.

Yes, that’s right. I’ve been working on it...

Bjørn. Do you have a moment?

Sure.

I’ll go and check on Birk.

Oh, no. Poor guy.

I can’t watch. It’s too awful.

You can’t watch? You’re filming.

I have to document it.

Okay. For whom?

- For myself, so I can... - Watch it later? When could you?

But...

Have you just moved here? I haven’t seen you at school.

I live in Oslo.

I came here to support my dad

in the opening ceremony.

Okay.

But...

I’ll come back sometime.

- Not sometime. I will come back. - Just once?

We could go to the movies or something then.

What?

No, I just...

- Was that wrong? - No!

We need you in Barcelona tomorrow.

- Tomorrow? - The French want to buy our drone.

- I see. - We’re flying to an arms fair there.

Okay. I’ll just have to check if it’s okay with Mona, but...

I guess we’re off to Spain.

- Having no cinema isn’t so weird. - It is a bit.

We have a skate park, other stuff.

- But... - A soccer pitch.

Everyone has a soccer pitch.

- Not everyone. - Yes, they do.

Not everyone has a soccer pitch someone else paid for.

I thought that went well.

If I have to say so myself.

Which it seems I do.

- You were great. - Yeah?

You made a good impression.

“Dear all. We are gathered here today to mark an important occasion.”

Great.

- You did great. - I think so too.

By the way, I have to take a short trip to Spain.

- Oh? - Tomorrow, already.

- A short trip to Spain? - Yes.

For an important meeting.

Maybe you’ll have time for your summer haircut before you go.

New job, new haircut.

Oh, right. Maybe.

I think I’ll just do like this.

Like that.

Hello, Bjørn.

- Hi, Bjørn. Nina from the school. - Yes, hi.

I have a long-term absence due to illness, so...

I’ve actually got another job. So you can strike me from the list.

Okay. Right.

You didn’t think so?

- A handsome guy in a handsome suit. - Thanks.

You didn’t need to.

Maybe not, but your old suit didn’t have the right to live any more.

- No, maybe not. This one looks nice. - Really nice.

Research on potential customers.

Thank you.

Right.

My dear people, AGR has existed for nearly 150 years.

And if you do your jobs well today,

we may have laid the foundation for another 150 years.

If you look at page five,

you’ll see a lot about French losses in the Sahel region in the last two years,

and I want you to read up on that thoroughly.

You can read it between all the other meetings.

The dinner with the French delegate is our top priority, and Bjørn,

you’ll take the lead,

because the sale will be through GLT.

Okay.

Have you done business with the French?

- No. - They’re quite bureaucratic.

So we have to make sure to push them carefully.

Okay.

I’ve noted some dos and don’ts, to make it a bit easier.

Let’s see... This is extremely...

detailed information.

- That’s the idea. - About customers, competitors and...

Let’s get ready.

Just take the time you need to read all you need.

But return it all to me afterwards. That’s important.

Okay.

- Hey... Bjørn. - Yeah.

Just be yourself. You’re going to charm everyone.

- Come on. - We’re off?

Yeah, it’s time.

- Bring your bag. - Yeah.

Just point it towards any conversation you want to hear.

500 meters, walls of brick, nothing’s going to stop it.

Nothing at all.

I know you’ve had some problems

with the company you used for the Singapore shipment, right?

And that the equipment has been delayed.

We, on the other hand, can deliver in December.

Both a way better price

and a far better technology, in my humble opinion.

Bjørn, maybe if you can give them

- a couple of our catalogs? - Yeah, sure.

- Here you are. - Thank you.

So, if you like what you see,

you can always come back to us and talk some more.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It’s such a lovely feeling

to steal customers from right under a competitor’s nose.

- It’s great. - It really is. How about some lunch?

I don’t think we have time.

We’re going to the Vanguard presentation.

Oh, shit. Maybe you could go on your own?

- Sure. - I’ll stay here.

- Of course. Yes. Good job. - Yeah, good job. Likewise.

It’s just not allowed.

- I’m from Paris. - So support Paris FC instead, then.

- Paris FC? - PSG is Satan.

It’s Sarkozy, Qatar, Platini,

corruption, all that’s wrong in France.

You’re exaggerating.

Racing Club de Lens. That’s France. That’s class.

Sure.

Sarkozy was convicted. Doesn’t that say something?

What’s it got to do with soccer?

The deal Sarkozy signed, where we sold weapons to Qatar.

In return, Qatar got the World Cup,

and PSG got new owners.

From Qatar.

The point of soccer is that it’s not political.

Of course, it’s political.

We’ve got movement.

9 to 3-3-1. Castle, Castle, Castle.

3-3-1, copy that. Over.

Should we go in with barrels up or down?

As a PSG fan, you can shove the barrel up your ass.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

What about you?

I’m fine.

- Where are we? - I don’t know.

We have to move.

They’re onto us.

What do you want from us?

Please.

Oumar!

HI, MADELEINE.

MEET IN THE AUDITORIUM?

MADELEINE: NERD. I’M HAVING A WINE AT THE HOTEL.

Bjørn.

Bjørn!

Are you kidding me?

- Wow. - Hey.

- Nice to see you. - Yeah.

What brings you here?

- Work. - No!

Congrats.

- Thanks. - That’s great.

- What about you? - I’m working too.

- So it’s... - Presentations.

Yeah, that’s more or less it.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please welcome Chief Engineer of Vanguard,

Billy Edwards!

Thank you, everyone.

I hope you are all ready to see history in the making.

A bit...

A bit too much information there.

So, Lethal Autonomous Weapons.

LAW.

It’s the discussion in the weapons industry today.

It’s what I’m here to talk about. And I brought with me this little fellow,

who has already introduced me.

Let’s call him Bill,

in honor of the bill that will soon be the game changer

we’ve all been waiting for.

Bill here

is smarter

than this entire room.

We have developed a processor which can react 110 times faster than us,

than the human brain.

And it is all happening now.

Of course, it’s easy when you can see the face.

Hell, my cell phone can do the same thing.

But Bill here

can analyze the way you walk, the way you talk,

your eye color, your eyebrows,

how strong you are,

and over a hundred other things you don’t even notice yourself.

And from these bio markers,

Bill can identify every single person in his memory.

Friend...

and foe.

Bill

carries enough live ammunition to neutralize

six of you in this crowd.

So, with a hundred compadres,

imagine what they could accomplish.

And it is all AI.

It makes all its decisions

on its own.

Damn, that was creepy.

But it’s not entirely new.

It’s exactly the same technology that AGR is trying to steal from me.

So we have access to that technology?

“We”?

No, come on. Don’t tell me you’re working for them?

- No, come on, Bjørn. - Talk later.

Is the drone we’re selling autonomous?

- Of course. - But that’s not legal.

You’re allowed to develop what you want, Bjørn.

But the point is to sell it, right?

We’ll see.

That’s why we’re dining with them tonight.

And the drone won’t be used militarily yet.

But it will soon become legal, and we must be ready.

Remember that,

unlike the Americans,

we’re developing arms to reduce harm,

not cause it.

The technology can be used anywhere.

I met HC. He said it’s his technology.

Endre and Amy have developed their own version.

But yes, they worked with HC and he inspired them.

And HC knows very well that we can do that.

Okay.

I talked to Fred’s mother.

He says you attacked him without warning.

- Seriously? - Yes.

But I realize that’s not true.

It’s just hard to defend you when I don’t know what’s going on.

Have a look at this.

- What is it? - Dad’s new colleagues.

There’s a lot of crazy stuff.

- Is that AGR? - Yes, that’s AGR.

School will be fun tomorrow.

- Hi. - There he is.

You look sharp in that suit.

Handsome.

- Cheers. - No. No, thanks. I’ll hold off.

You’re not that old. It’s okay to calm your nerves.

I thought it’s best to keep a clear head.

You might think so, but the French don’t trust non-drinkers.

We can learn from them. Come on.

Yes...

Well, I don’t want people to distrust me.

Right.

Cheers.

There.

What’s the deal with you and HC? Just curious.

- We know each other from university. - Right. How well?

I don’t know. Why?

I don’t mean to step on your toes.

But he’s trying to fuck us over,

so I think it’s a fair question.

You know what, Bjørn? The thing is that I was...

Once upon a time, I was out in the cold.

I had fucked up royally.

I was a pariah.

Sort of like you, actually.

But then...

Ole comes along.

And he doesn’t judge me.

He takes me in. Sees my potential.

He gives me a chance, completely out of the blue.

So when people like HC come in from the side,

I feel my hackles rising.

Because these people are my family. They’re my people.

I owe them everything.

But now you’re part of that too. And that’s fucking great.

- Cheers to the family. - Yeah, cheers.

Be careful.

Keep your eyes peeled.

Come on, let’s go.

- Why not wait until dark? - Orders are to move in now.

Clear.

There’s no one here.

Let’s get out.

Man down! Man down!

Send backup! Please!

Man down!

We’re fucked. Send backup!

We just had a pre-dinner beer.

Dinner’s canceled.

There’s been a development in Mali,

so Bjørn, you’ll have to go down there tomorrow,

and get that deal.

- By myself? - You can take Madeleine.

We’ll meet here tomorrow morning for a briefing.

We’ve told the Norwegians the deal must be altered.

Dismissed.
