[woman] Breaking
news coming in.

An unprecedented internet outage

has crippled China,

affecting hundreds of millions

throughout the nation.

[mysterious music playing]

[woman] Due to
technical difficulties

with our flight and passenger
information systems,

all departures from Beijing
are currently on hold.

[man] Listen, is it the
Great Firewall going too far

or is it foreign hacking
like China claims?

I honestly can't say,
but what I do know

is someone has to
answer for this chaos.

[woman] Guys, couldn't post this
morning and it was the worst.

Feels like a piece
of my day is missing.

[man 1] Just felt the panic
of a few hours without VidTalk

and it was brutal. Imagine
if it's gone for good.

We can't let that happen!

[man 2] We have traced
the cyber attack to

IP addresses in Canada,

and we demand full cooperation
from the Canadian government.

As Canada debates banning the
popular Chinese app, VidTalk,

this latest incident adds
even more fuel to the fire,

making it a hot-button issue
in the upcoming elections.

[music ends]

[woman] What are you doing?

- You hear anything?
- [man] Shh.

[both chuckle]

So, a future diplomat
or a computer genius?

[gasps]

More like a future soccer star.

Here in Canada, they can
be anything they want.

I just want them
to be safe, Clint.

And they will be, Sarah.

We will keep them safe.

Leave it on.

Good night, love.

Good night.

- [mysterious music playing]
- [beeping noises]

[chiming]

- [action music playing]
- Police! Federal search warrant!

Hands on your head!

[Sarah] What's going on?

Why are you taking him?

Cyber Terrorism.

- [grunts]
- [Sarah] Clint.

Clint!

[police siren]

[mysterious music playing]

What do you have for me, Jason?

This code, it's a
different beast, Roberts.

But can you break it?

[computer chimes]

I could try,

but it's not going to
be a walk in the park.

Well, we didn't sign up for
leisurely strolls, did we?

[phone rings]

Inspector Roberts! Don't tell
me you're watching VidTalk.

You couldn't have come
at a worse time, Harley.

I just need a minute
off the record.

No record. Have you tried CDs?

Is VidTalk really the
security risk they say?

Foreign governments
manipulate information to...

- Follow the facts.
- You always say that.

And I promise, when I
have something juicy

about sinister
governments spying on us,

you'll be the first
person I come to.

- On the record?
- On the biggest vinyl disc you can find.

[mysterious music keeps playing]

[music stops]

[man] Ah, there he is.

This is Inspector Roberts, he
led the operation last night.

Inspector, you
know Ms. Han Zhang,

Parliamentary Secretary
to Public Safety.

Roberts here has been
chomping at the bit

to be the new DC.

I think his ship
might be coming in.

And a deputy minister
position for someone else?

We'll be working on Wu's
extradition immediately.

We feel this is an
open-and-shut case.

As always, we'll be doing
a thorough investigation.

Our government is in a
sensitive spot with China.

We want to strengthen
our ties with the country

that will be the most
powerful in coming decades.

No one is saying you shouldn't
investigate thoroughly.

[Han] That's not
what we were saying.

Try, if you can, for
a quick resolution

so we can proceed
with extradition.

[slow music playing]

Your work is career-changing.

I didn't know if
you drank coffee.

Clint Wu, Chinese expat

and Canadian citizen, living
in Canada for fifteen years.

Expert in cyber security.

What brings you here?

I live here.

Two days ago, the Chinese
government reported

a massive disruption to
their online services.

We traced it to your IP address.

Fifteen years I worked
in cyber security.

You think I'm dumb enough
to expose my IP address?

So, explain to me, why
am I sitting across

from a fifteen-year
cyber security veteran

too stupid to hide
his IP address?

[sighs]

Your IP didn't come
up for nothing.

[pings]

[tense music playing]

- We've broken some of the encryption.
- Just a second.

We've broken some encryption.

You've heard of the
Great Firewall of China.

China's internet
censorship project.

It stops access to
foreign websites.

Clint Wu seems to
have torn it down.

The Chinese say you've
disrupted their internet.

They want you back.

That cannot happen.

The Chinese want you extradited.

You can't. They'll kill me.

- Why?
- They'll torture me

or send me to a labor
camp where I'll die.

I have a pregnant wife
here, I must stay.

Tell me what you did.

Maybe I can help you stay.

UltraGate.

UltraGate? What's that?

[female newscaster in Chinese]

Ever since the
Olympics was announced,

thousands of websites
have gone down.

Including China's
human rights abuses,

information on what really
happened in Tiananmen,

Falun Gong, Tibet.

- Are you getting all of this?
- Yeah, I'm getting it.

But no one else is.

What now? The firewall
isn't letting me through.

No. Proxy servers, VPNs,
nothing's working anymore.

The people in the West are
relying on my information to...

[action music playing]

Dammit.

Just what we need.

Is there a fire escape?

- What?
- A fire escape ladder on the roof.

- The roof?
- Yeah.

Yeah, why?

Wait till they go past,
then go down the stairs.

Use the fire escape
ladder on the roof!

[speaking Chinese]

- Clint?
- Charles? Charles!

- Charles!
- Clint! What happened...

- [Clint] They're after me.
- What?

- Father, the police are chasing Clint.
- But why?

Come!

What did I tell you? There's
a tiger on the mountain.

- You insist on climbing
up- - [father] Come!

[police sirens in the distance]

[man] Where's your son?

[tense music playing]

General.

Sorry to disturb you.

We would like to ask
your son some questions.

When was the last time...

You had contact with this man?

[Charles] At the university.

Before the Olympic protests.

You didn't go to
the major protest?

Everyone was there.

We received reports that Clint
was an organizer of that protest.

He made an inciting speech.

[Charles] He didn't
give a speech.

[policeman] How would you know that
unless you were at the protest?

[father] My son did not
participate in the protest.

He was here with me.

[policeman] Sir, you don't
mind if we look around?

- Just so I can tell my supervisor I did my job...
- Enough!

You can look around
if you'd like.

If you find what you're looking
for, I will go with you.

If not...

I will call the Minister myself

and demand a resignation
from your superior

and the two of you.

Your move.

They will be back.

- You must leave tonight.
- How?

I have an old subordinate friend
that can get you across the border.

What then?

Seek a visa with a Western
country. UK, America, Canada.

How can you send him alone?
Can't your friends help?

It's already very dangerous.

He's gotta go far
and by himself.

Thank you.

Why are you helping me?

Taking such a risk.

Tell them what you've seen.

The truth.

Your father will be
very proud of you.

VidTalk?

My daughter can't keep off it.

Well, it won't be a
problem if you ban it.

I can't believe I fight
for freedom of speech

and I moved to a country
that wants to remove it.

VidTalk's not so simple.

There are security concerns.

So you made it to Canada.

What happened next?

International criticism of
China's internet censorship

in the wake of the Olympics
has reminded the world

that freedom to information
is still a dream

for many in the country.

Families of the victims of
the Tiananmen Square massacre

still do not have
access to information

about what happened
to their loved ones.

So what attracts you
to network security?

I am fascinated by
how a network can keep

unwanted users out.

And how the unwanted
user can break in.

You are not thinking about
becoming a hacker, are you?

Because with your talent as
displayed on the transcript,

you could become a great one.

Thank you.

It's not a compliment.

The last student
that I said that to,

spending a 20-year
sentence in Millhaven.

- Millhaven?
- A maximum security prison in Ontario.

Nothing compared to
Chinese prisons, I'm sure.

Yes, I'm not daft.

I did some research. I know that you're
wanted by the Chinese government.

I assure you, I did not
do anything wrong to do...

I know the situation
is complicated.

Now because of the popularity of
this new field, the class is full.

What year were you born?

1988.

The year of the dragon.

Is that a problem?

No, no. I'm fascinated
by these things.

You know the double eight
in Chinese numerology

is very lucky.

Plus I was born in 1944.

- Excuse me?
- The year of the monkey.

Monkeys and dragons
are very compatible.

There, you're in.

I'll see you in class on Monday.

After graduation, you worked
at Northstar Networks,

which just happens to
be a key contractor

in Canadian internet
infrastructure.

Why?

I needed an opportunity
for UltraGate.

That's a pretty big
boon, don't you think?

Access to millions
of users' data.

Someone would pay a pretty
penny for that information.

That had nothing to
do with my decision

to work there.

But it was user information
that got me inside.

[man] The final answer is no. I
can't take the risk of hiring someone

- with a criminal record.
- [Clint] Jim, it's not what it sounds like.

It was fighting for free
speech. Access to information.

There's nothing I can do.

[man] Sir, we're under attack.

[action music playing]

- Can you access the CMS?
- No.

I'm sorry, sir, but I can't
access your service records.

Our system seems to be down.

I understand your
frustration, sir.

I'm trying everything
I can to...

- May I?
- I'm gonna put you on hold.

Thank God, I thought you guys
from IT would never come.

[typing]

It's from an email server
connected to the network.

Hey, what are you doing?

I can close the back
door, patch it up

and conduct a digital
forensic analysis,

but a full system upgrade
would be required to fix it.

[music slows down]

My studies at Beijing.

Network security and
international relations.

An unusual pair.

- I know.
- Indeed. What's your story there?

Picture this as the internet.

Each ripple is a packet of data.

Connecting, interacting.

I just love the idea of deciphering
this web of connections.

The symmetry of it all.

Interesting.

And international relations?

Now,

imagine a world map.

Every country is like a
node and network, right?

Every action, creating
ripples, influencing others.

It's all about connections.

You know, Sarah,

your perspective is captivating.

Just like connections
between people, Clint.

Some are more
captivating than others.

[happy music playing]

[Sarah laughs]

What are you aiming for?

- Wow!
- [bell rings]

[man] We have a winner!

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

- Monkey or elephant?
- Monkey!

Why the monkey?

You're a dragon, no?

Monkeys are compatible.

It's so pretty.

[Clint] Sarah...

Will you marry me?

Yes.

[beeps]

[vacuum cleaner roaring]

Sarah!

Sarah...

- [roaring stops]
- Why did you do that?

Too loud, I can't think.

- When did you change the air filter?
- Six months ago.

- You can't wait that long.
- Six months is standard.

You gotta change it
before it gets clogged.

Yes.

Brilliant, it's about
changing the filter.

I've been thinking all
wrong about UltraGate.

I've been waiting too long
with the proxy server.

Once a firewall identifies a
proxy server, it blocks it.

- So it's like the filter.
- Exactly.

I need to switch the proxy
server before it's blocked.

Then I use a new one to
complete the transfer.

[beeps]

I'm in!

Woo!

A mother in Beijing
could learn about

the dairy contamination crisis.

And someone in Tehran
can learn about

the student protests
from the BBC.

That's why I invented UltraGate.

All I did was give
access to the truth.

If you don't believe
me, ask Sarah.

We did.

[mysterious music playing]

We did.

This is big.

- Who knows?
- The parliamentary secretary.

This is enough to send Wu
straight back to Beijing.

But the investigation
is still open.

You're gonna stall me.

That's not that, it's just...

Wu is more of a political
dissident than a cyber terrorist.

I think China's playing us.

They want to shut
down UltraGate,

so they're pinning the
cyber attack on Wu.

Stick to the facts.
See it through.

[Sarah] For as long as
I've known my husband,

he has borne a grudge,

a deep hatred of the
Chinese government.

But I never suspected
him of anything sinister.

Until recently.

His late nights
spent working online

kept him from my company.

The code on his screen
was all too familiar.

It was a hack into
internet security.

As difficult as it is
for me to come to terms

with my husband as
a cyber terrorist,

I have no doubt.

I feel I must tell the truth.

Signed, Sarah Wu.

Okay, I would be lying if
I said I wasn't shocked.

I mean, you just got promoted.

If it's about your salary...

It's more than fair, Jim.

Well then, as one of our longest
and best performing employees,

I feel you owe us
an explanation.

Did you find a better job?

It's not about that.

I'm... sorry for prying.

You, uh, you don't
have to tell me.

Thank you, Jim.

For everything.

I mean it.

I'll call you back.

She's here.

Ms. Zhang, what's your
position on VidTalk's ban?

I've answered this question
time and time again,

and the answer won't change.

Our government will not
engage in online censorship.

Free speech is a
cornerstone Canadian value.

What about allegations that VidTalk
contains spyware from China?

I will not entertain
claims that are baseless

and xenophobic, and
neither will Canadians.

We will not censor VidTalk.

Thank you.

[man] Ms. Zhang. Ms. Zhang!

Still want to be a
cabinet minister?

Absolutely.

Now, I start by saying
I'm no king maker.

So you say.

But even if I was,

the party isn't happy
with your numbers.

Yet.

For this to work,
you need a landslide.

Let's see what I can do.

[intriguing music playing]

Inspector Roberts!
It's Han Zhang.

I hear it's true what they say.

The Mounties always
get their man.

Well, let's hope.

Roberts, how long do you
think until we can extradite?

I don't know, Ms. Zhang.
It's a little early to tell.

Look. A win here could be
good PR for my campaign.

And good for you too.

I'll do my best.

That's all I need.

[phone buzzing]

- Hello?
- [woman] Dad, did you get my VidTalk?

Or did you ban it already?

I got it, I've just been busy.

Well, dad, this is
really important to me.

I mean, it's gonna
be 15 years since...

I know, Meg. We'll do
something special, all right?

- Promise?
- Promise. I gotta go.

Mr. Wu, you stand accused of the
most serious of indictable offences.

The nature of these
accusations has given me pause.

I do believe, however, that the
accused is entitled to bail,

but there is one
unnegotiable condition.

Mr. Wu must surrender
his passport

and stay within city limits
until and throughout the trial.

Failure to do so will result in
revocation of bail and incarceration.

[phone buzzing]

[woman] You have reached the voicemail
of Sarah. Please leave a message.

Mom's favorite. In her honor.

Tell me a story. About mom.

Um...

You...

You don't have a single story?

I have many stories.

It's just... when I'm asked
to remember one, I can't.

Where are you going?

Well, if you're not going to take
this seriously, then forget about it.

What are you talking
about? Sit down.

You act like it's such a
task to talk about your wife.

- I can't think of a story.
- You always do this.

Every time I ask about her,

like, like you can't stand
to even think about her!

If you don't try to remember
her, she'll just stay dead.

[slow music playing]

[door closes]

- She resigned yesterday. Didn't give a reason.
- It's not like her.

- Did she say where she was going?
- No.

There is something.

After she left,

security wiped her hard drives.

Standard procedure.

On this one,

they found something.

What?

We don't know.

But she installed a program
on Northstar Networks.

Its purpose hasn't
been determined.

Ask for Inspector
Roberts at the Mounties.

Tell him what you told me.

Clint.

Be careful.

- Roberts, R-O-B-E-R...
- [Roberts] Later!

- Inspector Roberts. I was trying to see you...
- I'm sorry, Mr. Wu.

- We can't just...
- Please, I need help.

- Mr. Wu...
- I have nowhere else to turn.

It's about Sarah. She's missing.

She left Northstar yesterday
and no one knows where she is.

You'll have to file a report
with the local police.

I really wish I could help.

[grunts]

- Did you see that?
- Hm?

It kicked.

Okay.

At this stage in the gestation,

we'd like to book the
procedure as soon as possible.

Will it hurt?

You'll be under anesthetic.

I mean for the baby.

Research is still ongoing.

Do you have any availability
in the coming days?

Yeah, sure.

You left your address
blank on the intake form.

Where do you live right now?

You know what?

Why don't I call you to
make the appointment?

Thank you.

[phone buzzing]

Northstar Networks,
Nick speaking.

Nick, it's Sarah. How are you?

Sarah, good to hear
from you. What's up?

Nothing, nothing much.

I'm just calling to ask if
you made the upgrade yet.

What upgrade?

Oh, I must have forgotten to
send it to you before I left.

- I'll send it now.
- Sure thing. Thanks.

[computer beeps]

[computer beeps]

- [Roberts] What is it?
- You were right to keep an eye on Northstar.

- What am I looking at?
- Their complete subscriber list.

You can run a program and
extract their online data.

Emails, browsing history,
shopping records.

So anyone who wants
can have insight

into the lives of
millions of Canadians.

Is it Sarah?

Could be, from what she
installed at Northstar.

Stay on it. At the very
least, it's a privacy breach.

Could give us leverage.

What is your fascination
with this guy?

He's not just some guy,

he's a married man with
everything to lose.

So, someone's
infiltrating Northstar

with hardware his
wife installed.

Don't you think that casts her
letter in a different light?

You're saying she's a spy?

Part of a Chinese conspiracy
to arrest her husband?

Just come for a ride with me.

Maybe we can stop two
people from going to jail.

[phone buzzing]

- Yes.
- [man] Is it ready?

Just finishing it.

I see you're in no
rush to do your part.

It won't be much longer.

[phone buzzing]

Hello?

[man] My superiors are impressed
with the information you sent.

- Thank you.
- It is necessary - I make this call.

The next step is
the most crucial.

I need to know you understand
every word. Are you ready?

- Yes.
- Mind Wave.

Mind Wave?

Pilot project.

If you succeed, this approach
will be implemented worldwide,

transforming the world order.

Your actions will be forever
remembered in history.

Listen closely, here's
what you must do.

[knocking on door]

Can you help me?

[Roberts] You knew Sarah installed
software on Northstar's system.

As far as we can tell, she's tracking
online user data from millions of Canadians.

We feel...

she may be used by China
to make a major move

with Canadian information
on Beijing's behalf.

What kind of move?

- Do you know where she is?
- [Roberts] No.

That's why we need your help.

You want my help
to arrest my wife?

I want you to stop her from
committing a serious offense

and going to prison
for a very long time.

If you can help us find her,

you get your wife back.

- Where are you going?
- Getting dressed.

Donations from Chinese
shell companies

are pouring into MP
election coffers.

What influence does China
have over our politicians?

Nobody knows.

[intriguing music playing]

[woman on TV] Our government stands
firmly in defense of free speech.

Yes, we face challenges,
but we will not respond

by muffling voices
with censorship.

Instead, we will
encourage dialogue,

debate, and understanding.

That's the Canadian way.

Are you sure she
won't spot this?

Depends how close she's looking.

Sticky. Hiding the tracking
code of the metadata.

Good one.

They're sending the fake usernames
and passwords from Northstar.

- Mixed in a few real ones too.
- [Clint] Nice touch.

What's next?

We embed this tracking
code into fake data.

If we're lucky, Sarah will download
it and we'll be able to find her.

[computer beeps]

[sighs]

[action music playing]

Person of interest is Sarah Wu.
Secure all electronic devices.

- What happens when you bring her in?
- That's up to her.

And you.

[man] Clear!

[Sarah] Excuse me.

Could you possibly
contact someone for me?

[Roberts] Jason.

Here we go again.

I need you to get
on this right away.

That's okay.

I didn't need my weekend anyway.

[birds chirping]

Sarah...

I thought I'd never
see you again.

I'm so sorry, Clint.

- I had no choice...
- It's okay.

I know.

They know. It's over.

How long were you
involved in all this?

Since before we met.

At university.

Sarah, the Mounties
will arrest you.

There's an inspector who can get
you out of this if you cooperate.

[soft music playing]

You don't understand.

There is no leaving the MSS.

Not for me.

Not for her.

Her?

Was any of it real, Sarah?

What did you want to show me?

We decrypted some content
from Sarah Wu's computer.

Still can't trace the source.

[Clint] "There's a
tiger on the mountain.

Now you must insist
on going up."

Charles.

The minister would like
to congratulate you

on a job well done.

I'm happy to serve.

I assume everything
continues to proceed well?

Yes, sir.

Come.

I'd like to show you something.

[Charles] Is this even allowed?

When you're at the helm of
a vast intelligence network

and your information
alters the fate of nations,

a few flowers hardly
seem excessive.

These flowers, they thrive with
the right amount of sunshine,

soil, and water.

Just like how people flourish
with the right information.

The West.

They obsess over their freedoms.

Freedom of speech,
of information.

But where does it lead them?

Their precious social media,

teeming with lies,

anti-science, insurrections.

All thanks to their so-called
'freedom' of information.

They criticize us for
controlling information.

But their 'openness'...
is the very thing

that allows us to infiltrate
their flawed electoral system.

First Canada, then, who knows?

As far as we can tell, he's
been working with the MSS

nearly as soon as
you've been in Canada.

Which would make sense.

If the police went
back to General Liu's

after he helped you escape,

they could have
figured that out.

Using Charles as leverage to keep
himself and his father out of jail.

It all comes back
to Northstar data.

Sarah and the MSS are still
using it for something.

We have our guys working around
the clock on decrypting...

But you don't have
me working with them.

We could use another
brain, I suppose.

We're already using considerable
on-the-ground resources.

A BOLO, Be On the LookOut,

has been issued to every
branch of law enforcement.

Facial recognition is
being analyzed as we speak.

She has nowhere left to go.

[intriguing music playing]

I must say, Ms. Wu, this
intrusion is most irregular.

- I didn't know where to go.
- Ms. Wu.

- Sarah.
- Sarah...

I have no interest in
international spy intrigue.

I am a diplomat. I am here
to navigate the complex...

Call Charles Liu at the MSS.

I'm certain he will
direct you to help me.

[sighs]

I understand, Mr. Liu,
but if I may say,

this puts the consulate
in a risky position.

I understand, Ms.
Gao, but I assure you,

Sarah will not be
there for long.

This is not in the
purview of my job.

Or I might add, in the
best interest of diplomacy.

Consider the implications of
harboring a compromised spy.

And Ms. Gao, orders sometimes
carry their own implications

if not followed.

These will be your quarters.

I shall tell you that although
there is a doctor in the consulate,

she's not equipped
to handle childbirth.

I'm not due for weeks.

Let's hope I'm out
of your way by then.

You're not playing with
your usual sharpness.

Maybe games of attack
don't suit me anymore.

In your career,

were you ever called upon
to act against your beliefs?

I've seen too much.

Maybe this game doesn't
suit either of us.

The key is finding out what she
put in the Northstar system.

Been there, done that.
Didn't buy the T-shirt.

- One must know where to look.
- Meaning?

Northstar has
access to user data

for millions of Canadians. Sarah's
expertise is in network security

- and how to get around it.
- Not following.

What if Sarah could
take the user data

and install something
through a backdoor?

See? All the users have
the same changes made

to the same app at
the exact same time.

[gasps]

Breaking news. Is China
meddling in Canadian politics?

A customer email sent
by Northstar Networks

to its clients shows
the Chinese app VidTalk,

popular with many
young Canadians,

has been altered to hide
negative information about China

and promote China-friendly
politicians.

Parliamentary
Secretary Han Zhang,

a long-time defender of VidTalk

and outspoken opponent
of calls to ban the app,

was unavailable for comment.

[phone buzzing]

[man 1] Thank you, sir.

[man 2] Oh, got it.

This is what you call good work?

You couldn't program
a game of Pong.

You cannot understand
the damage you've done.

You better take care of this.

Easy for you to tell
me not to worry.

It's not your cabinet
position on the line.

[man] Relax, just keep
denying the accusations.

We're handling the cleanups.

And when they find out you had
spies in Canada, what then?

We're tying all loose
ends as we speak.

[father] Check.

Perhaps you would
like to reconsider.

There's no way out.

[Charles] What are you doing?

That's not how it's played.

It's against the rules.

The rules?

When the rules lead
you to a dead end,

shouldn't you consider
breaking free?

So what should I do?

You know where to go.

The Canadians will
have a file on me.

They will never let me in.

The cause of your
defeat in one place,

is an advantage in another.

It's your move.

[soft music playing]

Sorry, I'm sorry, sir.

I'm just more than
a little shocked.

[Charles] Nonetheless,
it's been decided.

This is not what I
signed up for, Charles.

And it's certainly not
in the job description.

If you're not comfortable
with your job,

perhaps your position
is unsuited to you.

I didn't mean it that
way. It's just...

She's pregnant. With
all due respect.

There's a certain party who
already works at the consulate,

who has proven to be helpful
in similar circumstances.

Who?

You'll be informed
when you need to know.

Be well, Ms. Gao.

- Is everything all right?
- Try to relax.

- You may sit up.
- Is the baby healthy?

The baby is not the problem.

- You are.
- [knocking on door]

Sarah... This is Li,

he's part of our security team.

Mr. Li will be
accompanying Sarah

from now on. Orders
from back home.

I'll leave you two.

Excuse me.

Phone.

[Ms. Gao] Mr. Li?

I'm sorry, Mr. Li.
May I speak to you?

In private.

You know that as
the Counsel General,

I must ensure everything
runs smoothly.

I have to know there
is a clean plan.

We're not Saudi Arabia, this is not
Istanbul. She's not a journalist.

- We cannot afford to have a sloppy display of...
- You need not worry.

Well, how are you going
to get her out of here?

[whispers] I can make
a body disappear.

It won't have to
leave the building.

[tense music playing]

And the method is clean?

The solution was
taken from a clinic.

She won't feel a thing.

Excuse me.

[phone beeps]

[grunts, breathes heavily]

It's a strange thing.
I'll give you that.

The number is from
the Chinese consulate.

So it's gotta be from Sarah.

Or, the Chinese are
messing with you to try

to create an incident.

We have to go get her.

Sorry, Clint. I sympathize
with you, I really do.

But I can't authorize such
a risky move over a hunch.

I mean, 912? What the
hell does that mean?

I don't know. But we
just can't sit here...

I'm sorry, but you need more.

[bangs table]

[Roberts] Find some
sort of numbers expert.

[phone buzzing]

- Hello?
- Professor Dylan, it's Clint.

- Oh, hi, Clint.
- What does 912 mean?

- Excuse me?
- 9 colon 12 in numerology.

Well, it could mean
nine of twelve.

- What does that mean?
- It could mean many things.

Twelve months of the year, twelve
apostles, twelve signs of the zodiac.

- Zodiac? The Chinese zodiac?
- Yes.

The twelve animal signs,
one for each new year.

Nine twelve, like
ninth out of twelve.

The ninth in the Chinese
zodiac cycle is...

The monkey.

- Thanks, Professor.
- Is there anything else...

[Clint] Roberts!

I have your proof!

[action music playing]

[police sirens]

This is quite a shock.

You know why we're here.

We have reason to believe
there's a Canadian citizen

being held against her
will inside this building.

I'm afraid I have
nothing to give,

Canadian citizen or otherwise.

You can't keep her.

The Vienna Convention
has established

this consulate sovereignty

and you have no
jurisdiction here.

If that will be all, gentlemen.

Wait!

You see this?

This was sent from a phone
number inside the consulate.

You let my wife go or everyone will
know you're holding her hostage.

If you truly believe
your wife is inside,

I would advise you to play
your cards very carefully.

Please don't do this.

Please don't...

Stop! The Mounties were here.

Do you want an
international incident?

If things go wrong I will
have to hand you over

to the Mounties to
protect this consulate.

- [phone buzzing]
- Hello?

We have a problem.

[people talking]

She's always around here.

What's your take on the
incident at the consulate?

We will not support this assault
on international diplomacy.

We will be launching
a full investigation

into the Mounties. Someone
will be held accountable.

What about allegations you're working
in collusion with the Chinese?

- That will be all.
- [reporters talking at the same time]

Harley?

Remember my promise?

[cries and breathes heavily]

Help me!

My water broke!

Help!

Help!

Inspector Roberts.

Clint, good to see you.

Ready to go live?

I'll do the intro
and pass it onto you.

It's okay, speak from the heart.

Ready?

Shocking developments in the
election interference scandal,

suggesting that China
may not only be trying

to steal the election, but
also Canadian citizens.

[cries in pain]

Sir, I thought you'd want
to see this immediately.

The Canadian news.

[Harley] Clint Wu has
evidence his wife is captive

inside this building,
the Chinese consulate.

He's with us today
with a desperate plea.

I speak today as a Canadian,

but most of all, as a husband.

- What are you doing?
- This baby is coming out now,

I'm making sure she
has a safe birth.

Please, please try
to relax. Breathe.

Mh...

Mm. Umm...

The Chinese regime will tell you

that what we have spoken
here is not the truth.

That they do not
have my wife inside.

Let me say something
about the truth.

My whole life, I have
fought the Chinese regime

over access to the truth.

And they have
fought to block it.

My father was arrested at
Tiananmen Square in 1989,

and I could never find
out what happened to him.

My own father.

I came to this country
because I believe

Canada is a country
that loves the truth.

That protects it.

Canadians want to hear the truth

about their politicians without
having information blocked.

China is exploiting
our love for truth

and flooding us with lies.

Instead of freedom
to information,

we should insist we know the
sources of our information.

My wife is in the
consulate behind me

and they won't let her out.

They will use words like
diplomatic immunity.

Vienna Convention.
But these are excuses,

veneers they use
to keep Canadians

from the greatest
right they have:

the right to access the truth.

And politicians like Han
Zhang want to protect them.

There is an election tomorrow.

I want my wife back, and these
politicians to be held accountable.

Several days ago,
cops raided my house

and posted my name in it.

- Hello?
- [Roberts] When you were two,

we got a call from daycare. "Your
mother has to come right away."

So your mom hightails it down there
and asks what the emergency was.

[doctor] Okay, you'll
have to push now.

- Push.
- [Sarah cries]

- What's wrong?
- I'll be right back.

[grunts]

[Roberts] Turns out,
you bit someone.

Your mom turns into Perry
Mason and starts shouting,

"No, she was provoked."

Were there any witnesses?
How do we know this happened?

Like defending
someone for murder.

- [knocks on door] - The baby is
premature, and it is a breach.

Every second that we wait,
we risk losing this baby.

That was your mom.

Always defending her kid.

Hello?

Yeah, I'm here.

Thank you.

[Harley] Unprecedented support
from MPs across party lines

calling for China to allow
access to its consulate

and immediately
release Sarah Wu.

Canadians across the
country are rallying

for the expulsion of
the Consul General.

[phone ringing]

- [man] Let her go.
- [call ends]

[cries]

What's going on?

You had a good run.

But all this news.

You backed the wrong horse.

The election is tomorrow.

And we still think we can win.

But not with you.

I assume you are familiar
with the Deputy Commissioner.

Your work is career-changing.

[sirens]

As polls close, a sea of violet
is sweeping across the nation,

capturing even ridings considered
strongholds for the incumbents.

But there are exceptions. Notice the
lone island in the sea of violet?

That's where former Mountie
Bellinger clinched a narrow win.

Despite these outliers, the voter's
message tonight is loud and clear.

[man] Charles.

[tense music playing]

These men will escort
you to a meeting.

Ma'am, you have to come with us.

What's the meaning of this?

You have been recalled to
Beijing, leaving immediately.

Many attribute the
last-minute landslide

for the opposition as
a win for free speech

- and a blow to those who seek to challenge it.
- Hello, folks.

[Harley] What's your position on foreign
interference in Canadian elections?

As a former Mountie, I take foreign
interference very seriously.

[Harley] Two months
after the election,

the federal government is
banning the VidTalk app

on all government devices.

App stores have one
week to remove it.

Sources indicate next
steps could include

public inquiries into
Chinese interference

in recent federal elections,

as well as the establishment
of a foreign agent registry.

This is the most complicated
system I've ever encountered.

- I don't know if I can decode it.
- What's wrong?

I have to make sure every
access point is secure.

Well, you didn't give up.

- The hardware is too valuable.
- [doorbell ringing]

- That's him.
- I'll get it.

[door opening]

[baby coos]

So you're the one
who saved my life.

That would be your husband.

Oh my gosh, she's so cute.

Can I hold her?

Can I speak to you? Privately?

Oh, all the spy stuff.

I wanted you to be the
first one to have one.

A long way to come
to give me this card.

Congratulations.

It's not the only reason I came.

My new clearance helped me find
out what happened to your dad.

He was probably shot within
12 hours of his arrest.

I'm sorry.

[soft music playing]

All these years...

I had no idea.

I was speaking to a friend.

- Policy shifting and...
- I don't understand government babble.

I'll say it straight, I recommended
you. A new position at CSIS.

- CSIS?
- Specialist in cyber terrorism.

It helps you speak
fluent Mandarin.

My friend's number is
on the back of the card.

I don't know what to say.

Say the truth.

Thank you.

Not bad for a guy with 15 years
network security experience

who's not smart enough
to hide his IP address.

You'd be amazed what they can
overcome if you give them your best.

[baby coos]

You're so lucky.

[phone buzzing]

Yes. He's game.

[Sarah] Game for what?

For whatever comes our way.

[tense music playing]
