Hey, Dad, um, your office said you're out of town,
so, figured you'd like the personal touch.
Anyways, um, can't wait to see you tomorrow.
Hey, I know I probably don't say this enough,
but I love you, Dad.
And, um, I know we've had our problems,
but I wouldn't be who I am without you.
So...
Anyways, travel safe.
Love you.
I already said that, didn't I?
Okay, bye.
You're watching a live feed
from AllSourcer headquarters in Silicon Valley,
where Jeffrey Tanner, the notoriously driven CEO
behind the popular social media aggregator
has called a press conference.
It's pennies on the dollar.
Are you sure you want to do this?
It's already done.
Now, given the timing
and the rumors swirling around the company,
speculation abounds as to what he's going to announce today.
We'll go live to Palo Alto,
where he's making his way to the podium now.
Thank you.
Please, everyone, listen.
Listen, I don't, I don't know if you got the memo,
but I also will not be releasing my tax returns.
Um...
I just signed an agreement
giving up ownership of AllSourcer.
I'm out.
The question you're all probably asking yourself is why.
So I'm gonna try to explain it,
as best I can. Um...
Next week is the one-year anniversary
of my daughter Mia's death.
More accurately, her murder.
You all know the story.
The press covered it in excruciating detail.
But I-I have to tell you,
unless you have lost a child yourself...
...you can never know what it does to you.
Your schedule, Congresswoman.
What do we have? You have a constituent meet and greet.
Your briefing at noon.
Flight's at 3:00.
Hi, I'm so sorry I'm late.
The Beltway.
Hi, John. How are you?
Katherine.
With all due respect, Congressman...
Um, can you, can you just turn that back for a moment, please?
But the wheels of justice turned,
and they caught and convicted the man
they believe to have murdered my daughter, a former addict
named Carlos Ochoa, who worked at the shelter
where my daughter was interning.
Just knowing that her killer is behind bars
should bring me some comfort, some closure.
The only problem is this:
I think they got the wrong guy.
I now have evidence,
evidence that has never been made public,
evidence that leads me to believe...
Hey.
- What's going on? - Tommy.
...that they have incarcerated the wrong man.
See this?
And whoever did this to my daughter is still out there.
And I believe that more evidence would emerge
if a platform existed for it to be brought forward.
And that is why I have created that platform.
I call it Sophe.
And as of right now...
...it is active.
Sophe is real time crowdsourced crime solving.
It's a hub where people can submit
- and dissect evidence. - Ma!
Damn it, what?
Sophe was the Greek personification of wisdom...
your wisdom.
The cops, the courts,
they can only do so much.
The rest is up to us.
I truly believe that Sophe
will revolutionize crime solving.
And to prove it, I am offering a powerful incentive.
$100 million
to anyone that can help identify
or apprehend the killer of my daughter.
Holy crap.
Deputy chief wants to see us.
Now.
My money is on you.
All of you.
Good luck.
Let's get to work.
Synced & corrected by -robtor- www.addic7ed.com
I should've told you first.
I know that.
Would've been nice.
But we both know what you would've said.
Which is what?
That Mia's killer's in prison, right?
Where he belongs.
Jeffrey, it's over.
Please, just let this be over.
You know what I can't stop thinking about? St. Barts.
Before we split up; her running through those waves.
Do you remember that?
I remember she got the stomach flu.
She threw up all night.
Two days later, I got it.
I guess it's just how we see things, you know?
Good and the bad.
I should've been there.
Should've been there.
Please, just stop this.
Nothing that you do is gonna bring her back.
I have to go.
You were a good dad.
- I wasn't. - Hmm.
But thank you for saying that.
Thank you.
Well, I... don't get me wrong, you were a terrible husband.
That's more like it.
- Yes. Awful. - Thank you.
But you were a good dad.
Thank you.
Where the hell am I?
Come on, Tommy, you must be loving this.
You thought we got the wrong guy all along.
You even got yourself kicked off
the case because of it.
Should've kept my mouth shut.
I'd have made lieutenant, too.
Hold on.
Detective Cavanaugh, SFPD.
Well, Tanner asked just for you.
So now's your chance to prove us all wrong.
Have fun in Silicon Valley.
Yeah, well,
not exactly.
Detective Cavanaugh.
Thank you for coming.
I was sent.
There's a difference.
Oakland... I mean, um, that's a little ghetto for you, isn't it?
Well, from humble beginnings come big things.
100 million of them.
Yeah. Not about the money, Detective.
People want to be a part of something meaningful.
This is Sara Morton.
She's in charge of day-to-day for Sophe.
Detective.
Here, you'll be needing this.
This Sophe Web thing, what does it do exactly?
Hundred years ago, there was a scientist,
Sir Francis Galton; he went to a county fair,
he asked 800 people to guess the weight of a prize-winning ox.
No one could get it exactly right.
But then, when he averaged in all of the answers,
they were dead on,
within a half a pound. Half a pound.
That's what it does.
- Wisdom of the crowd, huh? - Yep.
It's a nice story; you should post it online.
You'd get a ton of likes.
You're a skeptic.
I just know there's a reason why cops solve crimes.
For one thing, we know how to gather evidence
so it's admissible.
The chain of custody is clear
for any evidence posted on the site.
Yeah, maybe.
But we have this thing
called the Constitution, which protects people's privacy.
- Privacy? - Yes.
We gave that up a long time ago so we could watch cat videos
on our phone.
Welcome to The Hive, Detective.
What the hell is this?
This is where we maintain the Sophe
CrowdTec database and monitor the platform.
We vet any evidence before it's posted,
and then we can pull it up at the stroke of a key.
Those are just posts to the site, Officer.
Uh, nothing interesting yet.
Sir. Officer.
You really think all this is gonna work?
I know it'll work. I tested it.
I wanted to hold
a memorial for Mia at her school.
I used Sophe to contact everyone in her program at Berkeley.
Half the students
told me to speak to someone named Lori Meyers.
- Who's Lori Meyers? - Exactly.
I didn't know either. But the crowd knew.
The crowd knew that her and Lori were close.
They hadn't known each other long,
but Sophe found her anyway.
I just wanted Lori to say
a few things at the memorial, but instead she gave me this.
Go ahead.
Next message.
Sent September 26th at 10:36 p.m.
That's the night Mia was killed.
Lori, it's, uh, i-it's Mia.
I'm, uh...
I-I don't know who else to call.
Um, I'm... I'm afraid he's gonna hurt me.
He won't leave me alone.
God, I'm falling apart.
Okay, just, um, just call me when you get this, okay?
Okay.
I can tell by your face you never heard that.
But your old partner, Detective Ruiz, she had it all along.
Just kept it from me.
And apparently you as well.
So you knew about this?
Yes. But she's talking about Carlos Ochoa in the message.
Then why didn't the D.A. use it at trial?
Because Lori Meyers wouldn't back it up on the stand.
She said Mia was talking about
someone else, some secret boyfriend
that no one had ever seen before.
Look, Tommy, we gave this to defense counsel.
They didn't want it either.
Even they thought she was talking about Carlos Ochoa.
Then why didn't anyone share this with Tanner?
That was the D.A.'s call.
They didn't want anything giving him doubts at trial.
Look, Carlos Ochoa had her house key.
We found his semen inside her.
Because they were having consensual sex.
- That's what he said. - Did she say anything else?
Nothing that made sense.
Something ab... something about a sports shop.
Here.
Sports shop?
What, like a sporting goods store?
I'm telling you, it's a dead end.
She was talking about someone on that message.
Yeah, Carlos Ochoa.
Look, if you want to chase this goose,
you go right ahead. Okay?
But you're not gonna find anything.
You want to know why?
There's no other guy, Tommy!
_
So, what's going on?
What is this sound?
That's when a Sophe user posts evidence.
It works. Show it to him.
This just came in.
11:37 p.m.,
the night Mia was killed.
That's Mia's building.
There you are,
you son of a bitch.
I knew it.
He's too tall to be Carlos Ochoa.
So, who is it?
The other guy.
- Okay. - Isn't it so beautiful at night?
They light it up, and sometimes they change color.
- Yes, yes. - The Coit Tower.
Yes, I know. Um...
Oh, and right there, they have amazing Thai spring rolls.
The crunch is the best.
Thank you.
Um, now, you shot this with your phone, correct?
Yes.
Okay, now...
We were Airbnbing at the place across the street.
- "We"? - Me and my ex-boyfriend.
The scumbag.
It was my first trip to San Francisco,
so I was shooting everything.
Coit Tower, the sky.
Um, Ms. Li, why didn't you come forward at the time?
Well, like I said, I'm from out of town.
I wasn't really following the case
until I saw the announcement.
Jeffrey Tanner is a genius.
Can I meet him now?
Yeah. Yeah, I'll check on that.
You still work here?
Regrettably, yes.
God, you were serious.
I thought, I don't know, maybe sanity would prevail.
How long you known me, Mike?
And I begged you, just wait a few years,
and you could've sold AllSourcer for five times what you got.
And I said that it had to be now.
Three rounds of venture capital, and you kept deluding yourself.
You barely walked away with anything.
I was never comfortable with the money, anyway.
That's what my therapist told me.
Jeffrey.
Look, I'm telling you this
not as your lawyer or your financial advisor,
but as your friend.
This, whatever this is...
it will destroy you.
I don't care.
The-the cost of running a place like this,
paying everyone with no revenue coming in,
- there's no way... - Mike, I don't care.
This is it.
This is what I'm doing.
Get used to it.
Excuse me.
Good choice on the lobster tacos.
Any luck I.D.'ing that man in the video?
We're working on it.
We're canvassing everyone your daughter knew.
I'm sure the department is leaving no stone unturned.
- Let me ask you a question. - Mm-hmm?
Why me?
Why you ask for me?
Well, I watched you
investigate my daughter's murder,
and I'm sure you thought I was a pain in the ass.
You seem like a man who could think for himself.
And I thought myself right off the case.
That's because you wouldn't toe the party line to get ahead.
Unlike your partner...
Ruiz is good police.
Just 'cause I had questions about your daughter's case
doesn't mean I'm on board with all this.
Those tacos aren't gonna eat themselves.
I'll try the taco.
- Ah, there you go. - All right.
- That's unbelievable, right? - This is a good taco.
Yeah, it's a good taco.
You know how Steve Jobs got to be Steve Jobs?
You gonna tell me?
By understanding human nature.
He understood that people wanted an iPhone
before they knew what an iPhone was.
That's what I do.
That's why I know that this is gonna work.
And that video proves it.
We don't know what that video proves yet.
Or if a judge is even gonna allow it.
Listen, get ahead of the curve, Detective, please.
You're playing by rules that are obsolete.
No. I know what happens when you break those rules, Tanner.
Really? The last time I played by them,
I watched your department put an innocent man in prison.
Now we're gonna do it my way.
You know what?
I did think you were a pain in the ass,
and there's nothing I see here that changes that opinion.
So, if you'll excuse me, I'll take my tacos over here.
Carlos Ochoa.
What about him?
You showed that video to everyone that Mia knows.
Did you show it to him?
Ahead of the curve, Detective.
What is this, some kind of a joke?
We need to ask you some questions, Carlos.
I already answered all your questions.
And your little press conference,
it ain't doing nothing
but making things worse for me in here.
No, I-I know, Carlos.
Look, I-I'm just trying to help you get out of here.
Like I'm ever gonna get out of here.
We're done.
I saw you with her.
I surprised her one day at the shelter.
You didn't know I was there.
I saw the way you treated her.
The way you spoke to her.
I stifled those feelings during the trial
because I wanted to believe that you were the one.
And then when you wouldn't
plead guilty, not even to receive a lesser sentence,
that's when I knew.
I'm sorry that I didn't do something before,
but I'm doing something now.
Please.
Have you ever seen this guy before?
- That's her place. - Yeah.
Mia said something to a friend about a secret boyfriend.
She ever mention anybody like that to you?
You think I would've kept that to myself if she did?
All right.
What about a sports shop?
Does that sound familiar?
Like, maybe he used to work there
and that's where she hung out.
Don't mean nothing to me.
With the luck I have,
that dude's probably the pizza delivery guy.
I know she had your name,
but she didn't act like you.
She was beautiful.
She...
She was real.
To tell you the truth,
I couldn't even believe that she was your daughter.
Neither could I.
We're done.
Boy, you're just full of surprises.
What?
We've been hacked.
It just showed up on the platform?
No chance to vet it.
We've taken it down for now, but...
- pause. - So, I-I don't get...
Somebody hacked us and-and put up the same video?
It's not exactly the same. There's more of it now. Watch.
This car... people think he might have gotten into it.
Can we get a plate number on that?
It's too blurry.
Could be a Prius, maybe.
It's San Francisco. Everyone has a Prius.
That spoiler looks aftermarket.
Give the department a couple days.
We might be able to narrow it down.
Maybe we can do something faster.
To Sophe users, "Can you identify this car?"
And send.
How is a bunch of people arguing on the Internet
better than police work?
Well, individuals have biases
and limited spheres of knowledge.
The bigger and more diverse your crowd,
the more you can overcome that.
It's the 90/10 rule.
The 90/10 what?
Crowdsourcing is sifting through the dirt
until you find the gold.
90% of anything is garbage, but 10% of everything,
that's a hell of a lot of bling.
Flipper.
Flipper Ride Share.
It's a car service app
like Uber or Lyft.
That's not a spoiler. That's a dolphin tail.
The drivers, they used to put them on their cars
like the pink mustaches for Lyft.
You guys don't remember the pink mustaches?
Unbelievable.
Yup. Got it. Thanks.
Aram Maloof.
Car service records show that he had a call in the area.
- We're looking for him right now. - You better hurry.
It's all over the Web.
People online are already saying he's guilty.
This is exactly what I was afraid of.
We don't even know who this guy is yet, Tanner.
There wouldn't even be a problem if we weren't hacked.
How did that happen?
- Anybody? - I don't know yet,
but whoever did it covered their tracks.
Well, how did the extra footage, where did it come from?
That was in the file all along.
What?
Someone on the tech team reused
code from AllSourcer when they built the upload interface.
It cuts off videos longer than 30 seconds,
so Sophe did the same.
Who?
Who what?
Who?! Who?!
Who built the interface and carelessly took the code
- from a completely separate platform... - No. No, I picked this team.
I will be the one to discipline them.
Sara, look, this isn't some grad school project.
Who took the code?
I said no!
If you want to fire someone for this, fire me.
Everyone, can you please get back to work?
He just showed up at the gate.
And he said he wants to meet me?
No. He said you're gonna want to meet him.
All right.
Who the hell are you?
Jeffrey Tanner.
I'm a great admirer of your work.
Tariq Bakari.
I'm the guy who hacked you.
I use AllSourcer all the time, but I get annoyed when they
cut off videos; so when I saw this one was exactly 30 seconds,
I figured they reused the code.
Typical programmer... lazy, predictable.
Tell me about it.
You are quite the hacktivist, Mr. Bakari.
So, how did you do it? Hack us, I mean.
Ah, I had to use a CSRF... that's a cross-site request forgery.
That means you would've
had to compromise a trusted user's account.
Yeah.
Whose?
Whose account did you breach?
Um, actually, it was, uh, yours.
Mr. Tanner, you should
really get a better VPN
for your phone.
Your phones.
Not bad. You want a job?
Put him on payroll, Mike.
Jeff. Jeffrey.
Have you lost your mind?
Sorry, you're h... you're hiring him?
Do you want to protect this platform?
Who better than the kid that hacked into it?
They found the driver.
County hospital.
Somebody recognized him.
Next thing you know, there was a mob.
Lucky we had a unit nearby.
All right, here, take this.
Mr. Maloof.
I swear I have nothing to do with that girl who died.
And these people just started attacking me...
So, I understand,
just tell me why your car was
outside of Mia Tanner's apartment the night she died.
I got a call to pick up a girl from a dance club.
But I got halfway there and the call was cancelled.
Cancelled?
Yes. So I pulled over to eat my dinner.
I was there maybe five minutes.
What about the man in the video?
He didn't get in your car?
No, I never saw him.
I swear it.
We ran Maloof's GPS.
He had just dropped off a fare at SFO.
He couldn't have had anything to do with it.
What are you looking for?
The fare that cancelled on him that night.
- Here. - What?
Tammy Scavuzzo.
He was supposed to pick her up at this place.
Bar 86.
Just like this girl, Natalie Kirschner.
She was killed four months ago.
Would've been your case, but you got that promotion.
Probable sexual assault.
Go on.
Cause of death: Ketamine overdose.
Last place seen: Bar 86,
where she called for a car, then cancelled it.
You think there's a connection?
Only one way to find out.
What do you remember, Tammy?
Truthfully, not much.
I was out with girlfriends, we got split up.
I had too much to drink.
Started feeling woozy.
That's when I ordered the car.
Next thing I knew, I was waking up on my couch.
Do you often black out like that?
N-No. I... It was...
Tammy, did anything make you feel
like you had been assaulted in any way?
You mean, like...
sexually?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
How much you want to bet the same guy who raped her
also killed Natalie Kirschner?
This isn't even the case you're supposed to be working on.
Tanner wants me to test-drive his new toy.
Let's take it for a spin.
Sara.
Hey.
I just wanted to say thank you
for standing up for me earlier.
He's not wrong; I shouldn't have reused the code,
- but we were rushing... - I know.
Just fix it.
Right. Of course.
See you tomorrow, Josh.
_
You can do better than apologizing by text.
Ah.
Thank you.
Wasn't sure you wanted to see me.
Otherwise, I would've done it in person.
- Mm. - So I'll do it now.
I'm really sorry about earlier.
I did not mean to put you on the spot.
It's your sandbox.
Just, um, maybe be...
a little easier on Josh.
The poor boy's
absolutely terrified of you.
And, um... I think he fancies me.
I actually respect him more now.
So am I gonna have to defend my territory, or what?
Well, that would require telling people about us.
Are we ready for that?
We... we will be.
I promise. I will be.
In the meantime...
Yes.
What I ask... give it, give it...
...is that when we are together, you're present.
Yes.
Now, as to the food in your fridge...
Uh-oh.
...or lack thereof.
What is this? Are you 12? Pudding?
That, Ma, is comfort food.
- I see what you mean. - Yeah?
- It's actually great. - Right? Right?
Jeffrey Tanner,
did you just stop yourself from checking your phone
without any prompting whatsoever?
Well, when you put your mind to it...
It's not really your mind I'm interested in right now.
Daddy?
Daddy, I have a surprise for you.
It's a present.
You can keep it.
Look, this isn't gonna work.
We keep running into a blockchain wall.
Just program a cipher suite around it.
- Can't. - No, look, it's easy.
Hey, kids, glad to see
we're all getting along.
- What's going on? I got an alert. - It's not about Mia.
- Okay, what is it about? - The driver gave us a clue
that helped us make a breakthrough on another case.
Natalie Kirschner.
Hold on.
What other case?
I thought this whole thing
was supposed to revolutionize crime solving.
Isn't that what you said, right?
Sara, can I talk to you for a second, please?
Please. Come here.
What's happening? What's going on?
We always knew about the wider applications to this platform.
Yes, eventually. It's what we intended.
The more we use Sophe, the smarter it gets.
After we find Mia's killer.
All this is doing is splitting our focus.
It's the right thing to do, Jeffrey,
and you know it.
This is my daughter.
- I have to get it right. - Well, we have
an opportunity not just to prove Sophe works, but to help.
We can't not take it.
People are responding.
So far,
eight other women have come forward.
All the same, all blacked out, got in a car,
but the app says they cancelled it.
_
Uh, what's it doing now?
It's sorting the responses by similarities.
It's connecting the dots.
These four women.
All of them recall chatting with a bartender.
Okay, a bartender.
Maybe he spikes their drinks, even cancels the ride.
He needs an accomplice, someone who pretends
- to be the driver. - That's right.
We need to post this photo.
No, no, not yet.
I do not want another trial by Internet.
Then how do we find him? All of these women
were at different clubs, not just Bar 86.
But they're all pop-ups owned by the same company.
And there's only one bartender
That overlaps those dates: Eric Buehner.
How'd you do this?
Oh, I can do way better than that. Here.
Windsor Bistro... it's a bar in the Marina.
That's where he is now.
Or where his phone is, anyway.
Sara, how... what the hell are you doing?!
Well, if I had to guess,
I'd say he reverse-hacked the guy's GPS.
His cell number was in his file.
No, no, that is not okay.
Tanner, this is a slippery slope we're walking on, man.
Then you find him.
It will just take much longer.
I'm out.
Windsor Bistro.
I got it.
I'll meet you there.
Don't do it again.
Tammy Scavuzzo? No, sorry, I don't remember her.
I meet a lot of people in this job, though.
What about this woman?
Natalie Kirschner. She ring a bell?
She was the one who was killed, right?
That's right.
Was she in Bar 86 that night?
Yeah. She was pretty drunk, too, from what I remember.
Do you have any idea why she would cancel her car service?
No.
But the bouncer said he saw her get into a car, though.
Did you serve her that night?
Yeah.
But there was four of us working that night, so...
Because she had ketamine in her system.
Maybe you saw someone put something in her drink?
No.
If I had, I-I would have said something.
Thank you for your time.
Yeah.
Guy's guilty as hell.
He's got to have an accomplice.
Yeah, but if he's smart, they won't meet up.
Let's hope he's not smart, then.
There he goes.
We're in position.
He's definitely meeting somebody.
I have a visual.
All right, wait for my signal.
Roger that.
We need ears.
I can get you audio.
If I clone his cell, it's like a transmitter.
Hey, numb-nuts, what part of "inadmissible"
do you not get?
Are there any Sophe users nearby?
I got one in the park.
Julie W.
Contact her.
Hey, Julie. I'm Josh from Sophe.
Kind of weird favor.
We wanted to see if we could use your phone
as a listening device.
Damn it.
What the hell is your problem?
- Julie, you're doing great. - What's my problem?
Just a little closer.
That's good, right there.
They've got nothing.
What the hell just happened?
It's only inadmissible if you hack into someone's phone.
We got you a volunteer.
Nobody was supposed to get hurt.
Keep your voice down.
Been freaking out about this girl for three months now.
It was an accident. It's over.
"Over" my ass.
It's all online.
And all these others.
I don't care what they put online.
They've got no way to connect it to us,
and it's going to stay like that.
All right, we got it. Get her out of there.
Hey, move in, move in!
Julie, get out of there.
Don't even think about it.
Got one suspect in custody; the other one's
heading south on foot.
Hey!
Stop! Police!
Where'd he go?!
Damn.
We lost him.
Volkan Ayhan.
Charged with rape in 2009, in Florida.
Case was dropped.
Now he's in the wind.
Don't make me regret this.
Post it.
Let's do it. Let's go.
All right, I'm gonna put this up now.
"Have you seen this man?"
That's him.
Hey, Detective, we've got a confirmed sighting
at the Holden train station in Emeryville.
Two more just reported in.
On my way. And tell the people
- to stay the hell away from him. - Got it.
- Ruiz, we got him. - Copy.
Uh, guys, we got, like, a thing here.
What sort of thing?
What do you mean, they're following him?
I said tell them to stay away.
We did. They're doing it on their own.
Service to Reno, Salt Lake City, Denver,
Omaha and Chicago, now boarding on platform five.
All passengers to Los Angeles, please board on platform four.
I'm telling them to stay back. They keep moving in.
How far away are the police?
Why aren't they listening to us?
Why aren't they running away?
Because people want to be
a part of something meaningful.
Stay the hell away from me.
Are you people crazy?!
- Get back! - Police!
- Get out of the way! - Now!
Volkan Ayhan, drop the bag. Drop it!
Look, one of our users is streaming the arrest.
You're under arrest
for the murder of Natalie Kirschner.

Go ahead. Well, do the honors.
Tanner, please.
Come on, Detective.
Fine.
All right, what am I doing?
Um, press the enter button.
Oh.
- There we go. - _
Detective, you just closed a case,
a really big case, come on.
Yeah, I'm just sorry it wasn't the one
you wanted me to close, that's all.
Well, it's a start.
Yeah.
What?
The state's decided not to reopen your daughter's case.
They're standing by their conviction.
Well, I didn't expect them to.
Not until we provide them
with enough evidence to force their hand.
Good luck with that.
Hey, I know
I probably don't say this enough, but...
I love you, Dad.
And, um, I know we've had our problems,
but I wouldn't be who I am without you.
Anyways, travel safe.
Love you.
I already said that, didn't I?
Okay, bye.
