ARTIFICIAL JUSTICE
[Wind blowing]
[Tense music]
(Carmen) So what does the organization do?
(Jesús) It's a reintegration organization. They teach gardening.
Where will you live if the court grants you parole?
In an association apartment.
And then?
What do you mean?
Where do you see yourself in three years? What are your plans?
Honestly, I'd like to continue studying Computer Science.
It's my passion.
I've spent two years in prison.
I've got my head straight.
Uh...
I obviously want to find a legal job, in software, for example.
I don't know.
I can... I can work on something,
use my knowledge for community service or...
Or, just keep working
DENY PAROLE
on security software for companies.
That's what I'm trained in. The plaintiff,
Jesús Almeida Carballo, requests parole.
The prosecution opposes.
- We're talking about two million in computer damages, your honor.
And his remorse isn't genuine.
He's still active in hacking circles.
Is that true?
- Your Honor, if...
If you mean...
Writing on computer forums,
yes, it's true.
But it's purely for educational purposes.
What am I going to do?
Start studying something completely different? No!
It's what I want to do.
Obviously a legal path. I want to grow in this field,
I want to be able to keep
working here, you know?
The plaintiff meets the legal requirements,
so I rule in his favor and order...
- Your Honor,
I request that the sentence includes THENTE's recommendation.
Mr. Prosecutor, do not interrupt me.
The software recommends imprisonment.
The court rules in favor of the plaintiff and grants him parole.
- [Sighs] - Mr Almeida.
Make the most of this opportunity.
Thank you.
The session is adjourned.
[Murmurs]
What time is it?
Ten thirty. While you review the file,
we could have a coffee. Carmen.
Alicia.
I know I should have made an appointment.
I sent you messages. You haven't read them.
Yes, I saw them. Sorry.
I've been really busy. I know.
I need to talk to you.
I wouldn't insist if it wasn't urgent.
How about Friday morning?
My team will contact you tomorrow to finalize it.
- Nice to meet you. - Same here.
- Today I stand before you
to announce our intention
to call a historic referendum.
The time has come
to update our Constitution.
The goal is to set up
a legislative framework that allows us
to introduce artificial intelligence systems
to modernize the administration of justice.
To increase efficiency
in all our courts,
we propose the implementation of THENTE 2.
We seek the trust and approval
of the citizens
in this referendum to carry out
an essential technological transition process
for the future of our institutions.
- Madam President,
- THENTE's CEO was expected to be here. - Yes.
Unfortunately, Alicia Kóvack couldn't attend
due to personal reasons.
- So cynical! - Thank you very much.
[Beeping]
-Disabling autopilot in three, two, one.
[Beeps]
Today, the justice system is riddled with problems.
They say it's slow, ineffective,
politicized
and out of touch with the values of today's society.
For too long, courts have been
places of conflict and frustration, of unnecessary waiting,
paperwork, and bureaucracy.
We live in complex and globalized societies,
but our courts are still stuck in the 20th century.
They are slow structures, incapable of adapting to modern needs.
They said that the self-driving car was a dream,
that artistic creation was an exclusively human skill,
that artificial intelligence could never replace a judge.
They were wrong.
- Has Alicia said anything? - It's childish.
Talk to Marketing to get more options.
Now we're all here,
I'd like to mention something.
You shouldn't go on stage alone for the presentation.
She's the face of the company.
But pressure will increase.
And you think she can't handle the pressure?
You disappear for two weeks,
today you stood up the Prime Minister...
Anything to say?
The presentation is off.
The system isn't ready.
The date is set, we've made commitments.
I've called a board meeting this week. We'll announce it tomorrow.
You're crazy! Brais.
They just announced it in a damn press conference!
Brais!
What? What do you want?
You should have asked me. I did.
And we agreed to move forward, improve gradually.
Jobs are at stake.
There's more at stake. It's career suicide!
The board won't let you ruin it. Neither will I.
Alicia, investors are expecting a launch,
and so are the governments.
It's not the time.
If you want to change something, change it later.
I've made my decision.
[Mysterious music]
[Tense music]
[Alarming beeps and tires screeching]
[Mysterious, tense music]
[Sighs]
[Typing on a computer]
I'M IN CONTROL
THIS IS MY MOMENT
[Sighs]
Everything went well.
You have expelled all that was left of the embryo.
[Sighs]
It's normal to feel down for a few days.
I'm fine. Don't worry.
Carmen, I don't recommend you try again.
The system's risk percentage is very high.
And most likely, we'll end up in the same situation.
But it's your decision.
You don't have to decide now.
[Sound of traffic and voices]
VOTE YES FOR THE JUDICIAL TRANSITION REFERENDUM
BREAKING NEWS: ALICIA KÓVACK, CEO OF THENTE AI HAS DIED
The accident was reported
shortly after the Prime Minister announced
the judicial system reform.
The death of Alicia Kóvack
is a blow to the government's initiative,
but above all, it's a blow to THENTE, which lost its greatest asset.
Carmen, I'd like to meet. I need you to help with the project.
Please call me. It's urgent.
She's waiting for you, your honor.
- What did I say last year?
The numbers didn't add up.
The average is 500 procedures per quarter
and your court hits under 300.
We want to double the figures in a year.
You know it's impossible to study that number of cases
in depth. I know.
That's what THENTE is for.
They already told me: An 82% chance of reoffending
and you grant parole.
He met all the requirements.
According to the law.
The law...
[Exhales] Come on, Carmen!
An 82% chance.
Aren't you afraid he'll reoffend?
[Sighs]
Have they contacted you?
Who?
The association of judges.
I'm not in the association.
I know.
But Goitia hasn't called you.
No.
We haven't talked in months.
[Sighs]
The association will campaign for a no.
They're involving some colleagues.
Goitia is with them.
I want you to meet someone.
Judge, this is Judge Carmen Costa.
- My name is Ávila. - Your Honor.
We haven't met,
but I know your work. I'm your instructor's colleague.
I'm with the Ministry of Technological Transition.
We're focused on the THENTE issue.
For or against?
[Sighs]
I haven't decided.
We're not as reckless as they say.
We know what it means to delegate justice to a machine,
but we've tested the software.
- Over the past months, more than 100 judges have audited THENTE.
It's been personally coordinated by Alicia Kóvack.
- You knew her, right?
I had a trial with her years ago.
Alicia valued your work highly.
She wanted you on the project and that's why we called you.
-We want you to do one last audit.
It will only be two weeks.
The ministry will give you special permission.
Sorry, but no... I don't think I'm the right person.
-We're sure you are.
We would love to have your help.
All the polls are pointing in the same direction.
The yes will win in the referendum on algorithmic justice.
A historic milestone,
as, if the polls are correct,
Spain will be the first country in the world
to put artificial intelligence in charge
of operating one of the pillars
of democracy: The administration of justice.
Alicia believed that if justice comes too late,
it loses its essence.
She, on the other hand, left us too soon.
But rest assured that her life's work is still on going,
continuing to grow
in line with the vision she left us.
Alicia isn't just the brightest person I've ever met.
She's the one who keeps me going.
The challenges ahead
are as great as what we've already achieved.
We are closer than ever.
Thank you, Alicia.
[Mysterious music]
[Music fades]
You have arrived at your destination.
Welcome, Carmen.
Thank you.
I'm Alejandro Havel, Operations Director at THENTE.
Nice to meet you. This way.
How was your trip?
Good.
[Car reversing beeps]
I thought there would be more people.
This is a research center.
Alicia set it up when we grew from being a startup.
Didn't she like the city? No.
She didn't like the noise.
Let me introduce you to Carmen Costa.
Carmen, this is Bea, Dorian,
Marketing; Aitor, Legal Department.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
And Sofia, our Chief Technology Officer.
She will monitor the testing.
-Have you signed the confidentiality clauses?
She'll sign them now.
Tell me what happened.
-I was preparing the kids' bath.
Then he called,
I answered and then he... asked me to open the door.
Well, the main entrance.
- And you opened. - No!
He started talking and said he wanted to see the kids,
saying he had something to give them
and... I started panicking.
I asked him to wait at the entrance, but...
Then he was shouting and...
[Beep]
VERDICT REACHED
[Sofía] The system already has a verdict.
On the screen, you have
all the documentation, just like THENTE.
These are new cases for you and for it.
You'll study them at the same time.
We want to see
your approach for each case.
Then we'll compare it with the machine's verdict.
The goal is for THENTE to learn from you.
You can use both screens.
THENTE will work in the background.
Ready?
There are differences,
but historically, 90% of judges interpret the law
the same way you have.
The software follows the same pattern.
I'll load the verdicts.
We want you to analyze them.
Excuse me.
I want to see more THENTE verdicts.
Criminal, social, and administrative.
I want them printed out. I'll study them at home.
Sure thing.
[Machine beeps]
[Machine beeps confirmation]
You shouldn't be here.
Your paper verdicts.
[Sighs]
Alicia used to use this office.
Please, come with me. The president wants to meet you.
[Background] Now it's time...
Talk to Sofia about that, okay?
Right? [woman] Okay.
[foreground] Carmen.
I didn't introduce myself earlier.
With the start of the campaign, we're a bit overwhelmed.
I'm Brais Lago.
I saw you at the funeral.
Were you there?
It hasn't been easy,
but we're getting a lot of support
and it encourages us all to keep going.
I hope you feel comfortable. We have a lot to learn from you
and Sofia and Alex will provide you with everything you need.
We have to leave you now. I'll see you over the coming days.
Okay.
I'll walk you out.
Sorry for Brais's rush.
Congress has just announced a commission
on algorithmic justice,
just days before the referendum,
and we need a lot of preparation.
Are you going to use my audit in the campaign?
Didn't they tell you?
It's likely you'll be asked to testify in Congress.
By who? Everyone:
The association, the government...
They respect you and your career.
You stood up to the electric companies.
I don't know, your verdicts are just so detailed.
They can be modeled very well.
And, besides, you're independent of the associations, so...
Your profile is perfect for THENTE.
Alicia was very clear about it.
She loved coming here.
She mentioned you in her will.
What?
Alicia wanted you to work on the new version of THENTE
and the launch depends on your approval as a judge.
She put it in writing, in case something happened to her.
In case something happened to her?
Why wasn't I told?
[Sighs] We don't make all the decisions, Carmen.
They figured the new version would surprise you
and that it would be easy to get your approval.
I would have found out eventually.
Now you know.
I don't want this to affect your judgment about the software.
We really need you to be involved in improving it.
That's what Alicia wanted.
If I don't approve it, you can't launch it.
No.
It's a problem for us
and it's also a problem for the government.
[Intriguing music]
Do you know who's handling Kóvack's accident?
The sixth.
I'm very sorry.
Were you friends?
I met her in a trial years ago. But we weren't exactly friends.
She would write to me sometimes for advice.
Oh, by the way... Uh...
This came from the prosecutor's office.
It's just a warning
about the hacker.
He had a very high probability...
Did I ask for your opinion?
[Sighs and clears throat]
Sorry.
[Sighs]
Carmen, how are you?
Good.
The clinic told me I don't have any more options.
What?
No, listen to me. Look at me.
If it's what you want, you should keep trying.
No, I'm giving up.
You know what?
I'll finish up and we'll go out for a drink.
I don't feel like talking about it. I'll see you later.
Goodbye.
When a victim is testifying or when a suspect is giving a statement,
how do you perceive that anger
if not in the way they express themselves,
through their emphasis when describing
certain reactions characteristic of...?
[door buzzer]
Want to come up?
Walking is more our thing.
[kissing sounds]
As soon as the referendum is approved, THENTE sentences
will no longer be recommendations.
Yes, I know.
I'm working with the judges' association.
Yes, they told me.
[sighs] But we don't have the support of the people.
How could they, Goitia,
when you're always in the news for cases of politicization
or corruption.
Hey, they are exceptions.
[sighs]
This is different.
It's different when it affects your power,
but when we ask for help from the courts
or protection from pressures, you're never there.
They called you, didn't they?
To work with them?
They want to use you.
They want you for the campaign.
Carmen, you're not just any judge.
Your support in the referendum will be symbolic.
Goitia, I'm not in favor of the reform,
but we need changes.
We're overwhelmed, you know that.
But this isn't the answer.
In a few weeks, a commission will be held in Congress.
On algorithmic justice.
It will have a serious impact on public opinion
and we want you to testify.
No, I'm not going to expose myself.
I don't have a clear opinion.
It's not the time to sit on the fence.
You have to take a stand.
[sighs]
People are saying
Alicia tried to stop the launch of the software.
Fatal accidents in self-driving cars
don't happen every day.
So, please,
be careful.
Of course.
And that is the pressing question.
Will judges as we know them cease to exist?
No, rest assured,
judges will continue to be part
of the judicial process, but in a different way.
- One... - We need a human perspective.
Societal progress is driven
by some of the best decisions judges have made.
But it's curious, because those judges
don't usually reach higher courts.
Promotions tend to be determined by how close you are to power.
Listen,
we didn't come here to politicize this issue.
But they're right.
We need to detach the judicial system from political and economic power.
This implies more transparency in justice
and in our system,
and the creation of ambitious mechanisms
that facilitate public participation in the administration of justice.
We're witnessing the unstoppable rise of THENTE.
I don't know what your future goals are, or where you want to go.
Our goal is...
[Ominous music]
Speak clearly, what do you mean?
I mean, we all knew
he was into shady dealings.
Were you involved too?
No.
- But on October 17, you were with him.
- Yes, we met at the bar.
- Did you touch him?
[woman] Uh... Yes, I touched him. I touched his neck.
- Why did you meet? - No particular reason.
I was there, he arrived and we had a drink.
- He didn't give me good vibes, to be honest,
and anyway, my friend said he was bad news.
- Around two in the morning.
- About the weather, girls, if he had been out...
Things like that.
[beep]
[sighs]
Your main arguments and the essence of the verdict
coincide with THENTE's.
Again.
There's only one difference.
The hearing found the defendant guilty. THENTE and you declare her innocent.
And the High Court?
They didn't appeal.
Appealing to higher courts costs money
and not everyone can afford it.
Justice should be accessible to everyone.
THENTE and you
have agreed in all cases.
The only difference is the time
you each needed.
When is the presentation scheduled?
Before the referendum,
on the 15th.
Alicia died a week ago.
I know when she died.
You founded the company together.
She created the algorithm and I turned it into a company.
We have a schedule to keep.
Alex will introduce you
- to the databases... - It must have been hard.
We had been separated for some time, if that's what you're asking.
And it was amicable.
Anything else?
[woman] ...with the teams of...
Is everything okay with the tests?
I don't see how I can contribute.
Why not?
I'm just not sure what...
What I should focus on in the audit.
Alicia was looking for someone
who could update the system.
With enough legal knowledge.
Based on social changes, of course.
But that's in the long term.
Now we need to focus on the audit and...
In the long term?
I would like you to work with us
after the referendum, whatever the outcome.
We need someone like you.
We invest a lot of money in big data.
We buy all kinds of databases:
Legal, commercial, social media...
Data is the cornerstone of the software.
What do you think about Alicia's accident?
I'll see what the judge rules.
The verdict will be out soon.
THENTE already has a verdict.
It's under judicial secrecy.
I won't tell anyone.
Okay.
[computer typing]
Come here.
This is the satellite recording.
It's at night so it's not very clear but you can see better here.
[sighs]
That's the car that caused the accident.
It skidded and ended up sideways on a blind bend.
Here comes Alicia's car.
Coming out of the curve, she sees a car in the middle of the road
and the system takes control of the vehicle.
It tries to dodge it,
trusting it can brake in time.
It was probably the best option.
For whom?
Eh... For everyone.
Especially for the adult and child who were in the other vehicle.
In a collision at that speed, everyone would have died.
The system made that decision based on the ethical algorithm:
Save the lives of two people
by risking the life of another.
Can we see if the ethical algorithm is mentioned in the verdict?
No.
That is protected by the industrial secrets act.
Then, how do we know it was the algorithm that decided?
Let me see.
[warning beeps and gasp]
Carmen.
The verdict was based on the statement of an engineer.
[sighs]
[incoming message]
UNKNOWN NUMBER
THE DAY OF ALICIA'S ACCIDENT
Brais.
What?
What do you want?
You should have asked me. I did.
And we agreed to improve gradually. Jobs are at stake.
There's more at stake. It's career suicide!
The board won't let you ruin it.
Neither will I.
[footsteps]
[car door closing]
This morning the verdict
of Alicia Kóvack's accident was made public.
The decision behind the fatal crash
was made by the ethical algorithm in her VINSENG vehicle,
and is described in the verdict itself
as a fair decision.
We heard from the VINSENG spokesperson.
- The algorithm sees everyone as equal. All lives are equally valuable.
- Markets are interpreting the court decision
as a sign of artificial intelligence's neutrality
in decision-making.
This is a major boost to those supporters a 'yes' vote
in the referendum on algorithmic justice.
The name has not been made public yet.
That's why I asked you.
Yeah, but the judge at court three didn't find it funny, neither did I.
It's not our case.
I would have asked him, but I'm on leave.
His name is Carlos Vidal and he is the Director of Security at VINSENG.
He's the engineer who testified at Alicia's trial.
He's an expert in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.
He worked for various tech companies
in the United States and Asia.
How can we find him?
Can you find out who his lawyers are?
Sure.
- Hello, Carmen. - Do you know Carlos Vidal?
- No. - He's the engineer
who testified at Alicia's trial.
I don't know him personally.
Well, I need to talk to him.
I'll try the official route, but I don't think they'll listen.
I'll try to get his number. Come over, Sofia is expecting you.
Yes, yes. I'm on my way.
I just fell.
- You fell at home?
- Yes, I fell and hit
the corner of a door.
- Well, Alejandro, do you know why we're here?
- No, no. [Sofía sighs]
THENTE gives it a credibility of 6%.
Yes, he's lying.
But the question is why.
With minors, it's complicated, isn't it?
What do you mean?
How to know if they are telling the truth
or if they are manipulated
by a parent?
You can find out by talking to them.
There are also psychosocial reports.
Do you have children?
A 12-year-old daughter.
Do you have custody?
Yes.
At 12, I think they should decide for themselves.
[sighs]
Shall we review the sentences?
Of course.
We agree on the verdicts,
but the sentence for subject one is different from that of subject three.
The crimes and circumstances are similar.
The sentences should be the same.
THENTE can decide different degrees of sentences.
Each subject is assessed based
on different factors of their history.
How do they value each factor?
It's weighted by an algorithm.
I need to see it.
No one can see it.
It's a scale that affects the sentence.
It has to be public.
I can't tell you any more.
And who can?
Sofía already told you.
THENTE evaluates the future impact they might have on society.
Justice isn't the same for everyone.
The law is.
It can't be a trade secret.
You also have to assess whether a prisoner deserves parole.
And you wonder if they will use it well.
THENTE does the same.
But it doesn't wonder, it predicts.
It's one of the core principles of the algorithm.
What do you mean?
You know what I mean.
Alicia admired you.
She could have gone to prison and you gave her a second chance.
You sensed she would do well.
THENTE would do the same for someone like her.
I know you have concerns,
but I'm just trying to defend her legacy.
You don't seem very interested in investigating what happened to her.
Now is not the time.
What else do you need?
Did Alicia want to launch the software now?
The plan was to launch it now and improve it in the updates.
[Mobile phone vibrating]
I need to take this.
See you at Congress?
Yes.
Call Goitia.
[phone ringing]
[sighs]
Carmen.
Have you summoned me to Congress?
- I was very clear... - It was the government.
They'll want your support.
I told you they wanted to buy you out.
Carmen,
you can still help us.
Today's news
takes us to the Congress of Deputies,
where, just a few days before the referendum,
there will be a debate for public opinion, right, Pedro?
- Yes, I think today we will see
a fierce defense by the judges of what I would call their privileges
and THENTE's defense of the benefits of their system,
which we have seen are more than proven.
What we are seeing
is that the judges are being left alone,
either due to their blatant corporatism
or because they are no longer necessary in these times.
[murmur of voices]
- Hello. - Hello.
- Madam President.
- Yes, we'll look at it now.
- They always talk about productivity, efficiency,
but, in your opinion, how do you measure
a country's justice system?
I am not a jurist
nor a judge.
I've always measured the quality of a service
by asking the user.
When you eliminate human factors from the process,
such as ideology,
emotionality, race biases,
gender, or class,
when the sentences you produce are free of these prejudices,
the citizen perceives them as fairer.
This is what our indicators tell us.
And this is
what we consider to be higher quality justice.
I have never been part of any judges' association,
and I am completely against the politicization of justice,
but I have decided to step forward
because I believe we are at a crucial moment
for democracy.
Justice has always been uncomfortable
because it controls political and economic power
and represents the last bastion in the defense
of fundamental rights.
A bastion
that is defended by more than 5000 honest judges
who give everything to the courts
and who are suffocated by the lack of resources for their work.
Certain investment funds and sectors of the government
have decided it's time
to end this counterbalance.
They talk about efficiency and neutrality
to hide the true objective:
To control how justice is administered across the entire country.
Thank you.
As a representative of the judges,
you speak of independence.
Yesterday we woke up
to the recording of a politician
asking a magistrate
to appoint one of the "good" judges
to handle his case.
As you know, the magistrate eventually agreed.
That is the justice
you are defending.
That is human justice.
And we are here
to put an end to that corruption.
Our software allows us to read the emotions of witnesses,
detecting behavior patterns,
mining data,
resolving asylum requests, parole,
lawsuits, labor conflicts, moderating the present,
the past, and the future. Millions of processes
from all the courts of this country
simultaneously and in less time than it takes
a justice official to process
their mental health leave.
Do you know how much money we would save?
Thank you.
[sighs]
[murmurs of conversation]
Hello.
[sighs]
- Your Honor, you sentenced an electric company
interpreting the law differently than usual.
Why did you do it?
I considered that a victim's rights were being violated.
That law had been in effect for ten years
and nobody had interpreted it like you did.
That's true.
The context changed.
The country was experiencing significant impoverishment
and that law was causing a reduction in rights.
I also believe and consider
that it is the judicial power's responsibility to question
when a law is or is not suitable
for the reality we live in.
The Supreme Court agreed with you.
And the government ended up changing the law.
Do you think that would be possible with a system like THENTE?
[sighs]
Look, a system like THENTE
bases its sentences on past data.
It is basically incapable of interpreting a law
in a changing social context. Therefore, it is incapable
of generating new jurisprudence, incapable of progress.
It will always look to the past
and be doomed to repeat it.
- Thank you, Your Honor. - Thank you.
Thank you very much.
- The judge is an independent professional
and it's hard...
It's hard to control.
Carmen.
We are under a lot of pressure.
So am I.
We need you to approve the audit.
The system is not ready. I can't do it.
Fine, we'll delay the deadlines. We'll run new tests.
I'll give you access to the algorithm,
to any part you want to know.
We'll do it your way.
Will you think about it?
[sighs]

HIDDEN NUMBER
Hello?
I'm Carlos Vidal. I'm told you want to speak with me.
Yes, yes, that's right.
At twelve in the parking lot at kilometer 521 of the A-6.
[tense music]
[rhythmic beeps]
[turn signal]
[sighs]
Our relationship begins and ends today.
You're not going to summon me either.
I'm going to deny having spoken with you.
I'm not going to testify.
Is that clear?
That's clear.
I didn't tell the whole truth at the trial. [sighs]
I was... I was under a lot of pressure.
I guess you heard it on the news.
What?
"Everyone is equal to the algorithm."
"All lives are worth the same."
The algorithm makes exceptions.
There are premium users who pay
for their lives to take priority in an accident.
Was Alicia's car one of those?
Of course!
Any VINSENG vehicle driven by Alicia Kóvack
would always choose
the best option for her in the event of an accident.
That wasn't the case.
It wasn't
because two days earlier we suffered an attack on our servers.
The ethical exception was erased
in that vehicle, specifically in that one.
Is there any report or something...?
Everything was destroyed.
Acknowledging the attack
means acknowledging that there are ethical exceptions.
And that would be... a scandal.
What do you know about the attack?
Reviewing the system,
I found some suspicious connections
a few days before.
And where did
those connections come from?
From THENTE.
The IP is from THENTE's network,
but I can't identify the device.
From here on, it's up to you.
Don't involve me.
[sighs]
[Ringtone]
Come on...
[Ringtone]
- Carmen? - Manuela, I need you to do something.
It's very important.
What is it?
I need you to trace an IP address. I just sent it to you.
You're joking!
- An IP? - Yes.
You're on thin ice.
Manuela, can you do it, yes or no?
Carmen, it's twelve thirty.
Not now. Let's talk tomorrow.
But...
[turn signal]
[exhales]
[turn signal]
[Car horn]
[breathes heavily]
[sighs]
[breathes heavily]
[exhales]
- These need to be processed. - Okay.
- Here. - Good afternoon.
- Hello.
Manuela,
can we talk for a moment?
Sure. [sighs]
I'll be right there.
Look, I'm sorry about last night,
but I really need to pinpoint that IP.
It's crucial.
No, I'd need to write up an official report
and there's no reason...
Talk to Martín, from Cybercrime.
There are ways to do it.
I'm not going to risk it, Carmen.
What are you looking for?
I spoke with the engineer.
What happened to Alicia wasn't an accident.
She wanted to stop the launch, you understand?
I need your help.
Okay, if you have evidence, you know what you have to do.
It's not our investigation.
But I only have suspicions!
It's just an IP!
What do you mean "just an IP", Carmen? An IP!
Do you realize what you're asking?
- Yes! - We don't have a legal basis.
And anyway, I have a lot of files to process.
Damn it, this is more important than your fucking files!
Please!
Forget your "please".
Never talk to me like that again.
[sighs]
[Approaching footsteps]
[sighs]
Do you have the money?
Yes.
This is the password. ?2000 in Bitcoin.
Jesús, please,
I'm taking a risk here.
The cameras can't see you.
Don't worry.
Did you ever meet Alicia?
Yes, many years ago.
Before she became famous,
she was big in the hacking world.
We admired her.
But then she betrayed all her values.
What values?
Alicia came from the free software community,
from a well-known subgroup,
heavily involved in designing
collaborative governance tools.
They wanted to democratize everything.
It was all about redistributing power.
THENTE just concentrates it in a few hands.
When will Brais be back?
I don't know.
It's over there.
[exhales]
[breathes heavily]
Wait for me here and keep watch. Okay?
[breathes heavily]
If you see anything,
let me know.
Okay.
[breathes heavily]
[breathing and footsteps through the earpiece]
[device beeping and breathing]
[door opening and breathing]
[beeps]
I'm inside.
[breathing and footsteps through the earpiece]
There are many files.
I'm going to take photos.
[Typing on a computer]
Does this look familiar to you?
- It's a file on Alicia Kóvack. - Yes.
Nubiok. Biosecurity.
They implant subcutaneous chips with geolocation.
This code allows you
to access Alicia's location and movement history.
But you know where she is.
[breathing]
Keep this copy.
I'll analyze everything and call you.
Okay. Fine.
Ah, one more thing...
We're even.
Thank you.
- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.
Good afternoon.
[murmur of conversations]
- Adolfo, is Manuela not in? - No.
Do you know when she's coming?
She had a lot going on.
I couldn't tell you.
Are these for her?
Yes.
I'll take care of it.
Thanks a lot.
Pleasure.
[woman] I don't understand.
We'll see.
[soft beeping]
[soft ringtone]
HIDDEN NUMBER
- Hello? - It's Jesús.
Jesús, have you found anything?
Yes. There's evidence of the attack, but...
there's something else.
I'd prefer to talk in person.
Where? Can we... Can we meet now?
Let me finish. I'll call you tomorrow.
Okay.
See you tomorrow.
[hangs up]
[soft ringtone]
[sighs]
[soft ringtone]
[CLEARS THROAT] Yes, Manuela?
I've been calling for two hours!
What time is it?
Come to the courthouse and don't talk to any journalists.
What journalists?
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- Good morning, Your Honor. - Hello.
[Knocking on door]
I'll let you know when I locate her.
Okay.
[sighs]
What's up?
Carmen, let's handle this calmly, please.
What is going on?
The hacker you granted parole to, Jesús Almeida,
has been arrested with child pornography.
He had photos and videos of the child who disappeared months ago.
Carmen, it's not your fault.
But they are going to come after you.
Come with me. Let's go somewhere quieter.
You've seen what's in the press:
Multiple cybercrimes,
time in juvenile centers,
squatting, radicalized, and now a pedophile.
And you grant him parole despite THENTE's warning.
[exhales]
The child's parents say they want to file a lawsuit.
Do we know when he was arrested?
- Last night. And we know he met with you.
[Jesús] - Do you have the money? - Yes.
?2000 in Bitcoin. Jesús,
I'm taking a risk here.
[sighs]
We're even now.
Are you spying on me?
- Did you make a deal to grant him parole?
No!
How do you explain this, Carmen?
What were you thinking? It's malfeasance!
For now, you'll be suspended and end up in the Supreme Court.
They will remove you from the judiciary.
- We will help you in the Supreme Court.
You have been through enough.
[exhales]
[breathes nervously]
Yes, I understand.
Goitia!
Just a moment, okay?
- Alright.
- Alright. Nice to meet you.
[exhales]
It's not your fault.
They're following me.
They've threatened me, put microphones in my car!
I need your support!
The problem with the hacker's case
is that the AI was right.
We don't know that, Goitia!
I supported you and they're making me pay for it!
Wait a moment.
It's over.
They'll win the referendum
by a landslide
and this case benefits them even more.
We've been under a lot of pressure.
We all have! [sighs]
I've reached an agreement with the government.
Human judges remain for second instances.
A year's extension and we'll return to the negotiation table.
You've sold out.
I did what my colleagues asked for.
You've sold out!
I can't fight anymore.
Now it's up to you.
- How does it feel to let a pedophile go free?
- Why didn't you listen to THENTE?
- Do you feel responsible? - Are you going to make a statement?
[breathes heavily]

Manuela...
Hey!
Hey, how are you?
You really scared me!
How are you feeling?
[groans]
[whimpers]
Oh, sorry!
[exhales in pain]
Your vitals are almost back to normal.
So, you're going to discharge me?
If everything is the same tomorrow morning.
How are you feeling?
Good, very good.
Do you remember anything about what happened?
I remember...
The wind changed very quickly
and the current dragged me out
and then I was rescued on the beach.
You reacted well.
If you had kept swimming, you would have drowned.
- I'll discharge you tomorrow. - Okay.
[approaching footsteps]
Hey there!
Hello.
[kisses]
Did you rest well?
- Yes. - Can you leave?
Yes, they're bringing it now.
Okay.
What's up?
I'm going to try.
Try what?
To have a child.
[sobs] Well...
I brought chocolates to celebrate.
They're from the staff.
Everyone's asking about you.
Thanks.
Stop it, silly!
[sobs]
You're being silly.
- [sobs] I'm sorry! - [kisses]
You don't have to say anything.
[cries] I'm so sorry!
Today is the day this government and I personally
have been waiting for these past years.
We've worked very hard to get here.
We have the support of all the European institutions
and, during
the development phase, we have met
all the ethical and quality standards
set by EU regulations to make changes
in how we administer justice.
Tomorrow we present the system we have chosen
to improve the efficiency and quality of work
in the judicial institutions of this country.
- He's the new president of THENTE.
Presenting THENTE 2.
What about Brais?
Has he been arrested?
He's missing.
They searched his cabin
and proved he was behind
Alicia's accident.
He has an international arrest warrant.
He's accused of murder.
But that's not all.
Guess who they've hired at the company.
...you know the excellent work that has been done by...
Vidal?
Yes.
But Álex said
- he didn't know him. - But he did.
They worked together
years ago at another company.
Álex has been calling every night to ask how you are
since you were admitted.
You used the accident to announce the presentation.
It's legally sound. The ministry suspended you, Carmen.
I know.
And Brais?
I'm sure they'll find him.
Look, Carmen, we're presenting THENTE 2 today
and I won't forget Alicia.
We are working on the improvements she wanted
and I would really like to have you on the team.
Nothing they've said about me is true.
They took everything,
that we found at Brais's house.
The police searched it.
They say Brais had links with the guy who hacked Alicia's car.
I saw that too, I told you.
But it's false, Carmen.
It's false.
Look,
they planted child pornography on me.
They could have planted anything on him
to link him to Alicia's death.
Then they made him disappear.
Who gave you the IP?
They used you to whitewash something deeper.
- Did you bring it?
We'll do a forensic analysis
to confirm that the data was manipulated.
Okay.
- Shortly before she died,
Alicia wrote a memo to Brais.
A secret memo.
It was titled THENTE 3.
Brais and Alicia were in this together.
Maybe that's why he had the information about the subcutaneous chip you found.
You were right, Carmen.
She wanted to transform the country's judicial system.
[ringtone]
Go ahead, Carmen.
Take a look at what I sent you.
It's a geolocation chip that Alicia was carrying.
Brais might have a similar one.
See if it works with the same access code.
We have all of Brais's movements
and this is his current position.
- I see. - We lost the chip's signal here.
And this here is his entire route.
Where was he coming from?
From this forest.
His trail ends here.
How did he get to the sea from there?
At night, in a van without lights.
This is the satellite image.
Send me the route he took through the forest. You go to the cliff.

The signal is coming from the sea, but we have to wait for divers.
What do you mean there are no divers? How long will it take?
Forty-eight hours is impossible. And we can't guarantee any later.
[exhales]
[sighs]
Leading the hearing: Olalla Arcos with a serious political agenda.
Sergeant, a team from Channel 22 is on its way.
You decide.
God, Carmen! It's not easy to get divers that quickly.
Prioritize it then.
Talk to your managers.
Carmen, you've been suspended.
This is a mess.
I'm telling you there's a body down there.
We don't know that, it's just one lead.
Rego, this is going out live. Don't embarrass yourself.
[hangs up]
[sighs]
How deep was the signal?
45 meters.
What if it's not there?
[sighs]
Good afternoon from A Coruña for this special program
because today is the launch of THENTE 2,
48 hours before the decisive referendum
for Spanish society as a whole,
and here live with us is the new president of THENTE,
Alejandro Havel. Good afternoon, Alejandro.
Thank you, Olalla. Thank you for inviting me to the program.
Watching us are the viewers, the audience,
Spanish society at large, who will decide this referendum.
What do you want to say to them?
We want them to understand
our fears about the state of justice
not only in Spain, but in the world.
Last year,
a million lawsuits were filed in Spain
of which approximately 60% were addressed.
Next year,
we predict 1,200,000.
Human justice is not a realistic option.
Not everyone agrees.
That's why we wanted to have a judge
of recognized prestige on this program.
In recent days, she has been the subject
of serious controversy.
With us today is Carmen Costa.
- Go ahead.
- Good afternoon, Carmen. Welcome.
Thank you for being with us today.
- Thank you. - I'm sure our viewers
already know you. Carmen is one of the few voices
still advocating for a 'no' vote in the referendum.
- Of course, you know each other. - Yes.
She worked with us
and she is a person I respect.
Magistrate, there are 48 hours left
until the referendum, which could be decisive
because it could lead to significant changes
to our Constitution.
Why should we vote no?
Because voting in favor of algorithmic justice
would mean surrendering judicial independence
and one of the greatest powers of the State
to a multinational corporation.
That's not the case at all.
THENTE promotes independence, it frees justice from political control.
This is the path
and the vision set for us
by someone we all admire, the creator of THENTE,
Alicia Kóvack.
No, that's not Alicia's vision.
What was Alicia Kóvack's vision?
Her project sought
to enhance human justice with artificial intelligence,
ceding control to democratic and transparent processes,
which is absolutely the opposite of what THENTE represents today.
That's why she wanted to stop the presentation.
And that's why she was murdered.
Her ex-husband murdered her to take over the company.
That's what the police say, Carmen.
Look, our software has been tested
by hundreds of judges like you
and has been successfully proven in all Spanish courts.
Its methodology and results are totally reliable,
like many systems we use today.
For example,
if you go to the doctor
because you want to get pregnant, let's say,
and an artificial intelligence system
tells you that you have almost no chance of that happening
and that if you did become pregnant,
there would be serious problems for the baby's health or your own,
you would follow the system's recommendation, wouldn't you?
That kind of decision can't be handed over to a machine.
No, of course,
but would you follow the recommendation?
If I did, I would regret it.
So, you would trust...
Excuse me for a moment, but we have to cut now
because we have breaking news
regarding the case of Brais Lago,
former president of THENTE.
In the ongoing investigation, the police launched a device,
and about an hour ago,
a dive team into the sea
in search...
[ominous music]
[tense music]
Early reports suggest
that the body has been extracted from the sea
and the initial visual inspection indicates
that it is the corpse of Brais Lago.
The former president of THENTE
was wanted
in connection with the accident
in which Alicia Kóvack lost her life.
Is that true, Mr. Havel?
Yes, that's true. Brais Lago...
Murdered Alicia to take over her company
and evidence was found. That's why he fled.
Brais didn't kill anyone.
He was accused with false evidence
and was disappeared. Now we know where he is.
And we know where you are.
What-what are you insinuating, Carmen?
What-what are you trying to say?
You've just been suspended for freeing a criminal,
and you come and have the nerve to sit here
and accuse me of murder?
Be careful, Carmen.
It's not me who will judge you.
I'm here to make sure you have a fair trial.
Well, we have to leave it here.
We're out of time. Thanks to both of you, Carmen, Alejandro,
for joining us here live.
And now it's over to you to have the last word,
with the referendum in just 48 hours.
