In the near future, the Netherlands
has turned into a police state.
Its leader, Prime Minister Sassen, places
order and security above everything else.
Only few oppose his reign
report all suspicious activities
Is this yours?
Good evening, ID, please.
Good evening, sir. ID, please.
I don't know...
What's your name?
My name?
I don't know.
- Come with us.
Number 14 here, we need assistance...
Stop!
There he is. Stop!
Come on.
Are you OK?
Who are you?
What the fuck is going on?
Come along.
You can't remember anything.
I'm experiencing the same thing.
Come on.
Come on!
What are you doing?
I...
- Hey, are you OK?
The investigation is still ongoing,
but police sources state...
...that the suspect
is probably hiding near the house.
The director of Counter terrorism
the Netherlands, Willem de Geer, is dead.
He was probably killed around 4 am
at his home in The Hague.
His death has not been confirmed
by the police yet.
But everyone is certain
it concerns Willem de Geer.
Prime Minister Sassen
released a statement...
Finally awake?
Yes.
He was probably killed around 4 am
at his home in The Hague.
What's going on?
What no one thought possible
has happened:
Willem de Geer,
director of Counter terrorism...
...killed in his own home.
- Do you know him'?
I don't know.
- The investigation is ongoing.
But sources state that camera footage
of the suspect has turned up.
We should really go and eat something.
The footage is expected
to be released today.
So you're back.
Is that mine?
Yes.
How did you get it?
Do you know him?
I have to get back to work.
"Your name is Sam. If you are reading this,
you've lost your memory."
"But trust what's in this notebook."
"This is who you really are."
"Your life used to be normal."
"Up to a point."
I got him on the condition that I'd install
the app. My mom drives me nuts. Look.
I have to check in every 30 minutes
to show where I am.
That woman is insane.
Do you have a second phone?
Because you can route it and give it
the ID of your new phone. It's easy.
Then you leave it at home
and your mom will think you're there.
Weirdo.
Nice.
Sam!
The newly released footage shows
the suspect of the murder...
...of Counter terrorism director
Willem de Geer.
The raised fist indicates
he's probably a member...
...of the left-wing radical group
The Crowd.
That's him! That's that boy!
The Crowd claims not to be responsible.
Stop!
Stop!
Hello?
Having fun?
How good are you, really?
Not very good.
Feel like having a drink with me later?
Frank...
This is Sam.
- Hi, Sam. I'm Frank.
Good to see you.
We were wondering
if you'd be able to help us out.
Nick, move over.
Ministry of Security
Well, sorry. I'm not sure I can...
- Come on. They're Nazis.
They read our emails,
scan our phones.
Come on, Sam.
Please.
OK.
Fuck.
You're in.
Oh, shit.
Everything OK?
Head office Counter terrorism
the Netherlands
Six witnesses.
All saying it was your idea.
Sam...
May I call you Sam?
You're a talented guy.
But it's a shame you apparently
want to use your talent against us.
How do you think we're doing?
Sorry?
- As a government.
Do you think we're too strict?
We have to protect
the ordinary citizen.
Even if it's at the expense
of some liberty.
But I'm not one of them.
Do you understand? I...
Well, I'm not pan of it.
- They'll demand a long prison term.
But I'd prefer that
this doesn't become public.
If they find out a student
can hack into our system...
Well...
That's why we'd like
to offer you an alternative.
A second chance.
Welcome everybody.
My name is Vermunt. It's an honor
to welcome you to this institute.
I know that most of you
have gone through a difficult period.
A period when your behavior
was criticized.
They said you were lazy,
spoiled, selfish...
...and maladjusted.
That one is taken.
I have good news.
That pan of your life is over.
Here you'll get a fresh start
We offer you an environment
in which you are central.
We won't look at what you can't do,
but instead focus on what you can do.
We want you to discover
your own specific talent.
And that you'll be encouraged
to develop that gift to the utmost.
To become the master
of your own strength. A Master.
This group preceded you.
No one is excluded
because they're different.
We don't even use names here.
We simply use numbers.
And equality is the rule here.
Differences don't matter.
Everyone is on the same team here.
OK guys, you get up at 6.30 am tomorrow.
What if I need to take a leak?
You can go over there.
Oh...
No connections are available
I'm Louis, by the way.
- Number 11, you mean.
I'm Sam.
Sam?
Sam.
Do you think you are safe here?
- We already know each other.
Really?
Do you know who I am?
Do you know what happened?
Good afternoon.
How's it going?
The food... They have everything.
Hello?
No?
We should do this again.
Geez.
Party people, those Masters.
Seven?
Yeah.
You wanted to break the defense code
with your own written software?
Nice job.
I'm your coach. Coming?
Try to hack it.
What?
You hack into my system
with your laptop.
What do you see?
You're the administrator and, apparently,
you monitor the secured data.
You're a hacker up to no good.
What would you do?
Well, copy your data.
OK, delete your data.
- Go ahead. Do it.
What did it say?
Whether I was sure I wanted to delete
all of your data.
All of my data?
Oh, fuck.
I'm deleting my own hard drive.
Listen. Lesson one:
Hacking into someone's computer
is quite simple for an amateur.
A good hacker turns someone into
his or her own enemy.
If you can turn the expertise
of the targets against themselves...
...then you're a master.
What's your name?
Number 7.
Sam.
-Sam...
My name is Marit.
Are you ready for your first lesson?
In addition to your individual coaching
we also do physical training every day.
Stamina, strength, agility...
...and self-defense.
"Self-stimulation.
Self-confidence starts with yourself...
Though sometimes
you have to convince others.
Make an attempt.
Come on, hit me.
Hit me!
You think that's funny?
What do you guys do during your
own individual practice?
I have a chemistry lab all to myself.
It's awesome.
It has everything: Raw materials,
Bunsen burners, beakers, everything.
Move it.
Number Two. Tilt backwards, feet
against the wall. Come on.
Try to put your feet against the wall.
Turn around.
Number Eight.
Number Seven.
Hey, well done, buddy.
Don't think you can beat me, dude.
Hey, Sam.
Did you make a lot of new friends yet?
- I think so, yes.
See? I told you you'd be fine.
Mom... something weird
is going on here.
Fine, I'll figure it out myself.
I don't know. We were in the pool
yesterday and there was a guy...
Hey...
Are you OK?
I'm telling you, I mentioned that guy
in the pool to my mom...
...and the next moment
all the computers shut down.
I swear...
This institute...
Congratulations.
Due to his excellent achievements...
Two has become the first
in your group to become a Master.
Coming?
Work hard, everyone,
Seriously?
Even you are better.
Shit, man.
- Want to become a Master that badly?
I don't know about you, but wherever I went
it was pretty fucking much the same.
Criminal stamped on my forehead.
Here, we get a real chance, OK?
What did they get you for?
Fighting?
And what's your coach teaching you?
It's mostly self-defense...
- Louis...
First they get us for something,
then they teach us to get better at it.
That's weird.
- Why don't you just go home.
This is a prison.
- Listen, buddy...
...I know what prisons look like
and I can tell you that this isn't one.
Shit.
What are you doing here?
Same as you.
Now what?
Come on.
Shouldn't you get some sleep?
The Masters...
They're leaving.
You see?
That doesn't happen in prison.
Slowpoke.
Let's try it again...
Escaping together,
but properly this time.
How about you learn to fight first?
Well, well.
The first Master. Right?
Where were you
these past few days, huh?
I saw you were allowed off the compound.
What were you doing?
Nothing.
I have no time for you guys.
What the fuck...
Huh? How did you do that?
- DNS spoofing.
DNS spoofing? That's impossible.
Those addresses are encrypted.
Encrypted data
Sam...
Don't.
Don't. I mean it.
What are you doing here, actually?
We all have to contribute to society.
- Seriously?
You don't buy that yourself, do you?
- I only know what I can teach you.
This is a prison.
And it's all wrong. You know that too.
- I know nothing.
So it seems.
DNS spoofing, right?
That won't work anymore.
It's not clear yet what caused the explosion
in the government building.
But it was definitely a targeted attack.
The damage, caused by the explosion,
has increased to a few million.
The police expects that the perpetrator is
to be found in the left-wing radical groups.
The resistance groups seem to look...
...for more violent forms of protest,
nowadays, to clarify their ideas.
Prime Minister Sassen has stated
not to be deterred by these terrorists.
This country is still governed
by ourselves.
Our values, not those
of a handful of terrorists.
This is the time for all Dutch people
to rally around their leader.
Only that will stop the terror.
Alright, listen...
The government building was...
I know of a way to get around
the electronic lock.
But then I will need that glass.
So if you can cause some kind
of a diversion...
No problem.
So, ladies and gentlemen,
are you enjoying yourselves?
Eight.
Shut up and get down.
- I can't hear you.
I can't hear you.
- Shut up.
Keep your hands off me.
- Calm down.
Whatever you're planning to do...
I'm in.
- And?
- Easy-peasy.
Where did you get that all that shit?
- Two's lab.
And you know how it all works?
How do you know?
- Internet.
Of course.
Done.
All right.
What the fuck!
Tonight. OK?
- Tonight.
Hey.
Jesus.
Tonight we're out of here.
Nice.
- You want to leave too, don't you?
What are you listening to?
Just something from the old days.
Can I listen?
What kind of music is this?
- I said from the old days.
Sorry. Let me listen.
My mother used to sing this for me.
You don't need to comfort me, OK?
Well...
I do, don't I?
One moment you smash
everything to pieces...
...and the next you're weeping
like a little girl.
Anyway, look at me:
I talk and I talk and I talk.
I open my mouth
and all that comes out is bullshit.
I think the music is beautiful.
I'm just teasing you...
"because I think, or actually feel
that you're very...
...very special.
Honestly. Never mind.
- Weirdo.
I know.
Don't get any ideas.
We kissed.
What?
- Yeah.
It was...
OK.
OK?
Show me.
- No.
It's just getting exciting.
Hand it over.
No.
Hand it over.
- No.
I said: Hand it over.
Your name is Lara.
Lara?
Yeah, I think it's a weird name too.
Don't get any ideas.
Lara.
Fuck...
Come on.
Where are you going?
Where are we?
No idea.
I thought we were going to escape.
- Not without Lara.
Sam?
Fuck!
What the fuck is going on here?
Surgery successful.
Side effects: slight.
Headache. No hemorrhages.
Four: Implanted.
Internal hemorrhages.
Vaccinations. Heavy hemorrhages.
Third procedure.
Deceased. Chip rejected.
What is all this?
- Lara.
Number 8.
Chip 8 definite.
We have to leave.
Lara!
- Sam...
Come on. Let's go. Now.
Holy shit.
It's Sassen.
There are...
- There are results, I know.
But this project has two sides:
Chaos and the resulting control.
What did you think of the explosion?
- Spectacular and effective.
But we said: No victims.
Well...
Well... That guy was the father
of two children. His throat was slit.
I want everything executed with complete
perfection. That's what I mean by control.
Is that clear?
- Mr. Sassen, may I show you something?
The Masters blew up
the government building.
That's where they were going.
Why would Sassen blow up
his own building?
What does Sassen want?
Security, control.
Stricter laws to monitor us.
But those laws won't be implemented
without the population's support.
May I present to you...
This is our latest acquisition.
I'd say, go ahead.
Do you smoke?
- No.
From now on you do.
Stub it out.
On your arm.
Again.
That's enough.
The demonstration is over.
Says who?
- It's clear.
Is there a problem, Willem?
You disagree with me again?
I'll wait outside.
Everything under control?
- Of course. Don't worry.
De Geer won't stand in our way
anymore soon.
Is their memory loss permanent?
Even if someone would remember
something, it will be vague and incoherent.
In fact, you'll just have a confused teen,
once a criminal...
...who'll claim he had to commit
an assault in your name.
No one will believe it.
This is the sewer
that controls all the chips.
What are you doing?
- I'll try to turn off her chip.
What?
- Marit.
We have to get out of here. Now.
Now. Let's go.
Sam, come on.
Sam, now what?
- Back to our room.
Listen, that chick of yours is gone,
destroyed.
So will we if we don't leave now.
- Do what you want.
I'm staying.
Lara...
What are you doing?
You've got a chip in your head.
Feel it.
Feel it yourself.
Here. Listen, I wrote everything down.
Who I am. What happened that night.
Everything. Keep it safe.
If I turn out to be a zombie after all,
give it back to me. OK?
After all?
- I exchanged the chip meant for me...
...for an empty one,
but I have no idea what it will do.
Just for yourself?
Leave.
Seven...
Do you know why we lock
all the doors at night?
To prevent characters like you
from snooping around.
I like you Seven.
I think you'll do great here.
Have you spoofed a DNS lately?
Your nose...
Sam?
Sam?
OK... Finish this. I'll be right back.
Sam?
You're right.
I'm a coward.
And I'm sorry.
Hey, man.
Do you know who I am?
Number 11. You're number 11.
Athletic, a good boxer.
You snore at night
and talk a bit too much.
And you run like a girl.
Fucker.
Do you hear me?
I have evidence.
When we're allowed off the compound,
I can escape and spread this footage.
Yes, when you are allowed off the compound.
- What do you mean?
I have to stay here, don't I?
Louis...
I'll come back.
- Whatever.
Yesterday afternoon...
...a flash drive disappeared
according to our inventory.
From your room.
Seven had a lesson there.
Seven...
Could you stub this out?
On your arm.
Did you leave him alone
at your terminal?
No.
Really?
You're a hundred percent sure
Seven couldn't have done this?
I'm a hundred percent sure, yes.
Good.
Because we still need you.
You, on the other hand...
As you know,
Marit hasn't been herself lately.
She was depressed.
She left the institute last night.
You never saw her again.
Get ready for the mission.
What happens next?
Nothing.
It stops here.
- And now?
How do you know this will work?
I don't.
Stop it.
Sam.
Sam, I'm a coward.
You know what to do.
Seven, you switch off
all the security cameras.
Communication only
through the ear buds.
Two .
Very good. Get to work.
I'm in.
The camera's are switched off.
Doors open?
GO, go, go'
Two, Eight, eliminate the target.
Switch that camera back on.
Now.
Now walk towards it and raise
your fist in front of the camera.
Seven, what are you doing?
Join the others.
Seven...
Join Eight and Two.
Number Eight ready to go.
Come on, move it.
Two and Seven, search the first floor.
Eight, to the basement.
We have to get out of here.
Lara...
Get out of here. They want to kill you.
- Seven...
What are you doing?
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait.
Listen to me carefully...
You're still somewhere in there.
I just know that.
And you're coming with me.
Listen, I have a flash drive
with solid evidence. Look.
Look.
You have to come with me.
Well?
Target eliminated.
Everyone back to the main entrance.
Please.
Lara... please.
Seven, come here with that flash drive.
Seven...
Seven...
Seven...
You keep this.
Sam?
Sam.
Sam, can you hear me?
Easy, easy, easy.
I know where to go.
Hand it over.
Seven, it's over.
The flash drive.
Lara...
Don't do this.
It's me.
Don't bother. Your Lara is gone.
Move.
Lara...
Seven, take it easy.
- Well, well.
The prodigal son.
You kept it up for a long time.
My compliments.
But it's better not to resist any longer.
- Hold on.
I'll check the flash drive first.
Very clever.
What's wrong?
The terminal says that a large amount of
emails were not sent out properly...
Who is it that sent something?
They didn't arrive, did they?
- No.
At least, not those ones.
He sent the footage to everyone.
- Not to everyone.
Only to all the customers
of the ten largest providers.
Eight, eliminate him.
Lara... Lara!
Lara... Lara...
It's me.
- Sam.
Chip 8 malfunction
Eight... What the fuck?
Louis.
Are you OK?
Sam.
Louis.
Good to see you, man.
You too.
Seven...
Where are you going?
My name is Sam.
This is Lara.
This is Louis.
We're going home.
By now, the astounding footage
has already gone viral.
A confused teen who claims
to commit assaults in your name.
Who on God's earth
will ever believe that?
Prime Minister Sassen and Mrs. Vermunt
were arrested on suspicious of...
A day after the collapse of the cabinet
the former Prime Minister was arrested.
The lead player of this sensational
scandal, known by the name Seven...
...will remain anonymous for now.
The question is: When will he
come forward to make himself known?
