Eve (2015) s02e03 Episode Script

1 Every intelligent machine is a clear and present threat to every human being on the planet.
Katherine Calvin is dangerous.
Not as dangerous as you.
SIREN WAILS It's self-replicating.
This is incredible.
I want to switch one of them off.
This is in no way a good idea.
Ah! Why are you following me? You can get your dad to listen.
Confirm deletion of Eve's survival protocol.
She has made herself vulnerable.
Adam, your orders have changed.
At the first opportunity, bring her to me.
If PRICE find out what you are, they'll hunt you down and destroy you.
Yes, we know.
We have to be very careful.
So, I suggest, for the time being, Eve stays here, powered down when she's not in use.
I'm not a machine - I'm a person.
I'm only trying to protect you from Gwenlan.
Mr Gwenlan is a criminal.
He should be in prison.
Yes, but his hard drive mysteriously vanished from the police evidence locker.
It seems our Mr Gwenlan has friends in very high places.
Lord Hoffman.
Bingo - as if we didn't have enough problems.
So Hoffman's protecting Gwenlan? Great, that's just what we need - another crazy megalomaniac chasing after Eve.
How many is that now? It depends if you count Katherine.
Yes.
Yes.
Then four.
Eve, that's not a good thing.
I know.
Eve, are you OK? I am excessively OK.
All of my protocols are running at 133% efficiency.
Right, that's not actually possible.
Maybe we should run a quick diagnostic, and make sure everything's doing what it's supposed to do.
COMPUTER HUMS Connecting wirelessly.
Hello? Hello! Dad? Eve, eyes.
Eve! Ah Dad! The door was wide open.
I hope you don't mind.
No, no, of course not.
We were just We was, erm Playing a game.
Yeah, yeah, playing a game.
It was whoever can keep the jacket on their head the longest wins.
She's been under there for ages now.
Oh, ha-ha.
Kids today, eh? Anyway, Lils, you know how you're my favourite daughter, right? Uh-huh, yeah.
Well, look, Mum and Aunt Lucy, they're off on a weekend spa break thing, and we're looking after little Zoe, aren't we? You mean, you are? The kid's a monster.
Oh.
Hi, Zoe.
So, listen, Grandad Rudy's had a flood in his flat and, well, I need to help him out.
No.
No way am I looking after Cruella De Vil's Mini-Me.
Lils, that's a bit harsh.
Who are you? She's got funny eyes.
Funny eyes, funny eyes! That's not very nice, is it? Don't say things like that, OK? WILL: It's all right.
Erm, me and Me and Eve are going to go and do the thing we were going to do.
Come on, Dad, now's a really bad time.
Can Abe not do it? Abe? Look after a child? Yeah, but he always gets away with everything.
Well, look, not this time, all right? I have given that boy a list of chores to do, and if he doesn't do them, then he's grounded.
Please, Lils, look, I'm desperate.
I will watch the tiny human.
Eve.
Yes, Eve! Thank you.
Thank you very much, Eve.
You'll help her out with everything, yeah? Erm Brilliant, fantastic.
Thank you so much, guys.
Zoe, you be good, now, all right? See you later.
Bye.
Eve, why would you say that? Eve, don't.
Eve I have never met a human unit this small.
My learn protocol demands that I study it.
I mean, her.
Will you stop that? Give me it here.
Ugh! No! GLASS SMASHES No, no, not the cereal.
Zoe! Ugh.
How did she even make this mess? I don't even know.
Can you just help me with this table, please? Given her height and weight, this should not have been possible.
Evil will always find a way.
Her programming is incomplete but it is fascinating.
Look at the state of this place.
My dad is going to kill me, you know? Wait, where is she? She was just there Zoe! Zoe! Zoe? La-la-la, Spartacus, bleep-bleep Eve? .
.
ga-ga-ga-ga, space bar, space bar, space bar.
Eve, what are you doing? Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga, oh-ga-ga-ga-da-ga.
The computer.
COMPUTER BEEPS AND HUMS Zoe! Oh, no, Zoe! What did I tell you? I want to play computer! Get off that thing.
Lily, stop her.
We need to get her out of here.
Ugh! WILL SIGHS Would you stop that, please? I'm really, really, really bored.
Maybe you should just, like, sit on the swing.
That's really, really double-boring.
I give up.
I'm sorry for this.
It's all right, it's not your fault.
Ooh! # Will and Lily sitting a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
You were kissing in a tree? When did you observe this? She didn't.
It's just a song, Eve.
BELL RINGS Ice cream! I want ice cream! Then you shouldn't have sung that song, then, should you? I will take her for ice cream.
I wish to observe her feeding protocols.
Eve, I don't think that's a Climb on.
Yay, piggyback! BELL RINGS Whoa, they're They're really speeding.
I hope no-one notices.
She'll be OK.
She knows not to draw attention to herself, but maybe we should keep an eye on them, just in case.
Yeah.
How can we expect to make progress on "Eternity.
2" when you keep letting Eve go home? It's bad enough that most of Zac's time is occupied clearing up the mess Gwenlan left behind.
You know, she's not the only AI in the building.
The Spider Bots? They have become capable of independent upgrading and self-replication.
We could learn a lot about how the artificial mind works by studying them.
You are right.
They really are "fascinating" machines, and they won't keep demanding time off.
Come on.
PHONE RINGS Hello? Abe.
Oh, hey, Eve.
I am in the park with Zoe.
She tells me she is Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored.
! .
.
bored, bored, bored, bored, bored! I hear you.
Tell her, "Me too.
" When she is "bored", she is not learning, and neither am I.
You are closer to her age.
What should I do? I want more ice cream.
You heard the lady - get her another ice cream.
And what should I do after that? Whatever she wants.
Is that what makes small humans happy? It would make me happy if I could do whatever I wanted.
Why can't you? Dad's making me clean the house.
I can't get the Hoover working.
Your uncle upgraded it and now it's got, like, a million settings.
It's a stupid machine.
Eve, I don't suppose you could, erm, have a word with it, you know, like, do you thing? Hold the phone next to it.
HOOVER BEEPS AND SQUEAKS Oh, Eve, you are so cool.
I have also reprogrammed the vacuum cleaner to respond to voice commands.
Thanks, Eve.
HOOVER HUMS OK, forward.
HOOVER BEEPS Ho-ho-ho! OK, back, back.
Oh, yes.
Now, clean the room.
HOOVER BEEPS Woohoo! Yeah! WILL: Eve! Eve! Eve! Why would she just run off like that? She's acting really weird.
I wish we'd finished that diagnostic.
I know.
Faster, faster! I recognise that irritating whine.
Who's that? I saw him before.
I think he was watching us.
Hey! Hey! Why are you stopping? Hi.
Yeah, erm, hi.
Hi, Will.
Hi, Lily.
What? Who are you? And how do you know our names? Yeah, no, I'm Cain.
Eve, where have you been? Purchasing dairy products.
I see you have met Cain.
You left Zoe with a stranger? Yummy.
He is not a stranger.
I told you, he is Cain.
And we don't know anything about him.
I do.
I know that he's been watching us since we got here.
Also, he is a loner and has no friends.
Oh, well, that's all right, then(!) No, honestly, I'm not a weirdo or a stalker.
I promise.
Oh, well, if you promise.
It's just that, my mum, she's she's gone travelling and she's left me here to stay with my dad, so I don't know anyone round here, and I just thought that you guys looked, you know, a little a little bit interesting.
So now we all have a new friend.
Eve, I don't need you to make friends for me.
You are 15 years old and have only two friends - statistics indicate that you do.
I want more ice cream! When you have finished those three.
Why have you given her three ice creams? Six.
I was specifically told that the way to make small humans happy is to give them anything they desire.
And who told you that? Abe.
Eve, rule one - never listen to Abe.
Rule two - never listen to Abe.
Yes, and I think we can all, kind of, guess what rule three is.
Yeah, OK, OK.
Eve, looking after a small human isn't exactly about letting them do what they want.
But it is not right to force someone to do something they don't want to.
That is what Mary tried to do to me.
Eve, there is a big difference between wiping someone's memory circuits and stuffing them full of ice cream.
Not just ice cream.
I also gave her four bags of marshmallows Four? .
.
and a bar of chocolate.
ZOE COUGHS Guys, guys, erm, yeah, Zoe, Zoe's Zoe, get off that roundabout before you're ZOE VOMITS .
.
sick.
The second-gen Spider Bot is in here.
I locked it up after The video conference.
I don't want to talk about it.
OK, what's the combination? I'll do it.
Don't you trust me? I don't trust my own mother.
Ha-ha! Oh HE SIGHS PANEL BEEPS HEAVY DOOR CREAKS OPEN No! SHE GRUNTS Gwenlan.
Gwenlan.
If he could get in here, what else has he taken? You tell me - you're the one he's apparently so desperate to speak to.
I told you, I didn't call him.
Really? Not even to find out what he wanted? I know what he wants.
He wants to stop our research and turn me against artificial intelligence.
Eve told me.
He thinks you're power mad, irresponsible and a danger to the human race.
But you know that he's wrong? Hmm, he's probably right, but I still won't speak to him.
I can't risk him finding out about Eve.
You're assuming he doesn't already know.
Why has he come back here? I don't know, he just kind of tagged along.
Can you tell him to go? No, you tell him.
I believe Zoe is recovering well.
I would like another opportunity to take care of her.
I'm not sure that's a good idea, Eve.
But my "learn" protocols demand it.
I'm gaining all sorts of valuable information.
Like what? Small humans need rules and boundaries.
I'm now aware of the proper procedures for the care of small humans.
I've downloaded 307 books on childcare, and the one thing they all agree on is that health and safety is the number-one priority.
Eve, I don't know.
No, let's give her a chance.
She never makes the same mistake twice.
Yeah, cos she keeps making new ones, and I don't like that Cain hanging around.
He creeps me out.
I know.
Look, why don't we let Eve look after Zoe and we'll try getting rid of Cain the Pain.
OK.
Yeah.
WILL GASPS Where did he go? I don't know.
Oh, the basement.
Basement.
COMPUTER HUMS AND BEEPS Whoa, what are you doing? That's private.
That's private.
Sorry, guys, I didn't know it was such a big deal.
Yeah, well, what are you doing down here? I was just looking for the toilet and I sort of got lost.
Yeah, well, it's not here, is it? So, if you don't mind going? Of course.
Cool place.
Is your dad some sort of scientist? Yeah, but, you know, it's We're about to go out, so if you don't mind? Yeah, nice one.
Erm, where are we going? Well, me and Will are going to my house.
Of course.
I'll just, erm, hang here with Eve and Zoe, you know, and check out some more of your dad's gizmos.
Actually, do you want to come to mine? Yeah, if you want me to.
We would love you to.
Please, please do.
Yeah.
Whoa, it's buzzing in this room(!) Who's this? Cain.
Cain.
Cain.
So, now you've got three friends.
Nice one.
I thought you were supposed to be cleaning the house? All under control.
Do the living room next! HOOVER BEEPS AND WHIRS Wait, if you're up here, then who's doing the vacuuming? New tech - enough said.
HE EXHALES CAIN GIGGLES I don't like this.
I want a triple-chocolate ice cream and I want to go back to the park, now! The park contains too many hazards.
My first priority is to keep you from harm, so all sharp objects have been put away, and all electronic devices disabled to avoid risk of electric shocks.
There.
EVE GIGGLES I have reduced the possibility of you sustaining any injury to 0.
023%.
Now we are free to have fun! How? I can't even sit do-ow-own! Take me back to the park! I hate you! I hate you! Yes, but you are safe, and according to the relevant publications, that is more important.
Ugh! WILL SIGHS AND COUGHS THEY MOUTH Do you know what, Cain? I've just remembered that me and Will have got this project to finish, so if you wouldn't mind? Yeah, we have, like, a little project to do.
Yeah, yeah.
I'veI've misread the social cues again, haven't I? A little bit.
A lot.
Mother warned me about this.
She said that I make people feel uncomfortable.
Do I make you feel uncomfortable? Yeah.
No.
Erm, no.
Nah.
I knew it.
Dad wants me to join this youth group.
He says it'll help me engage with the real world.
I guess I don't know how to make friends.
You'll make friends.
It's not that hard.
You just need to find something in common.
Yeah, right, OK.
"Hi, I'm Cain.
"Do you like lime milkshakes, writing steampunk fanfic "and hacking into the Hubble Space Telescope?" Erm, yeah.
You're joking.
No.
You can really hack into the Hubble Space Telescope? Yeah, of course, it's not that hard.
Notnot like the Pentagon.
I wouldn't know.
Show me.
Here, come on.
Oh, what? Whoa COMPUTER BEEPS Erm, Cain, if if I can get out the seat? Thank you.
I'm just going to get out, while you do your stuff.
COMPUTER BEEPS AND CHIRPS That's amazing.
Yeah, I know.
It's pretty cool, huh? LILY GIGGLES EVE BEEPS AND HUMS EVE BEEPS Zoe? EVE BEEPS AND BUZZES Zoe? That's the Horsehead Nebula.
Yeah, that's my favourite interstellar cloud.
Mine, too.
HOOVER BUZZES ABE: Stop! I ordered you to stop! HOOVER BEEPS Abe? Back off! What are you doing down there? Don't worry, it's all in hand.
HOOVER BEEPS AND WHIRS PHONE RINGS Oh, hi, Eve.
What? What do you mean you can't find Zoe? Right, I'll be there in a minute.
Guys.
Why would Gwenlan take the Spider Bot? It's an incredibly advanced AI - everything he hates.
Know your enemy.
You need to understand something in order to destroy it.
And now he knows a lot more about our AI technology.
Yes, he does, doesn't he? Let's hope he doesn't get his hands on Eve .
.
but, of course, he won't, because she's so good at taking care of herself(!) I won't change my mind on this, Katherine.
You are not keeping her locked in a lab.
Zoe? Zoe! Zoe? I'm sure she'll be OK.
She'll be fine.
She's done this before.
We usually just find her in the local sweet shop or something.
She definitely said that she wanted to go back to the park, Eve? With considerable force.
She was most adamant.
This place is huge.
We're never going to find her.
I will go into search mode.
Yeah, yeah, we'll all go into search mode, guys.
Yeah, it's a thing we all say, don't we, yeah? Yeah, like a catchphrase.
Cool.
Yeah.
I'll I'll check by the swings.
All right.
All right, now, Eve, now you can go into search mode.
EVE BUZZES I cannot locate Zoe anywhere in this vicinity.
HE SIGHS She didn't come back here, then.
I'm going to have to tell Dad.
No! He'll call the police and report her missing.
Activate learn protocol.
I've always wanted to experience a police investigation.
What is wrong with you today? If the police get involved, they'll find out you've got no passport, no birth certificate and no pulse.
Then you'll be taken away to some government lab and dismantled.
That sounds most interesting.
Oh Guys, she's She's not there.
Right, great, we'll go home and check the street again before your dad gets home.
Come on.
So, J2 to J3, ideally.
OK.
PHONE VIBRATES Hi, Will, everything OK? Erm, no.
No, not really, Dad, no.
We've got a massive problem.
Glad to hear it.
Oh, are you with Katherine? Yes, yes.
Good, good.
OK, then I'll just come out right and say it.
Eve's been baby-sitting and she's lost a child.
WILL LAUGHS Great.
Great.
Really great.
Erm, OK, I'll see you soon.
Erm, OK, thanks, Dad.
Great.
That's Well So, erm Eve, what were you thinking? Look at the state of this place.
Zoe? Dad can't talk right now.
What are we going to do? I don't know.
Well, we've looked for Zoe everywhere we can think of.
Shouldn't we call the police? We really don't want to do that, Cain.
PHONE BEEPS My dad's just texted.
He's on his way over.
Can you stall him? How? I don't Leave it to me.
Really? DOOR SLAMS Right, erm, I'd better get going.
I promised I'd be home early, so Good idea.
I think I'll come with you.
To my house? I'd like to see Eve - make sure she's not getting into any trouble.
But why would she? And if, as I suspect, she has, I'll help you sort it out.
Then, I'll bring her back to Calimov, permanently.
Hi, you must be Lily's dad.
Hi, I'm Cain, Lily's Lily's friend.
Cain, yeah? Nice to meet you, mate.
Yeah.
Erm, yeah, sorry, erm, I'm I've just moved in round here, and I was wondering, could you tell me, where does the best pizza? Pizza? Yeah, I'm more of a thin-crust man, myself.
How about you? It's actually working.
Nice one, Cain.
Yeah, I don't know what good it's going to do, unless we find Zoe in the next two minutes.
Well, at least he's trying.
Yeah, a bit too hard.
I have "no pulse".
That is what you said in the park.
Yeah, so? But you do have a pulse.
So does Lily.
Why are you stating the obvious? I can detect human heartbeats.
I will filter each of you out.
HEARTBEATS THUMP Will.
Lily.
Is that one Cain's or my dad's? The range is limited to this room.
There is someone else in here.
Oh, no, Viv's at the door.
Hurry.
EVE BEEPS AND HEARTBEAT THUMPS Eve, quick.
Hurry.
Found me! Oh Your turn to hide now.
The behaviour of small human units is beyond the range of my predictive software.
Kids TOY BUZZES Ugh! Hey, guys, do you want any sweets? Sweeties! I think you've had enough.
NICK: Will? Will! Hey, Dad.
Hey, guys.
Erm, everything OK? Fine.
Yeah, fine.
Fine.
Great.
Yeah.
Good, good.
See? I told you there was nothing to worry about.
Who's this? Cain.
Cain.
Cain Birtwhistle, pleased to meet you.
Hello, Cain.
Hi.
He's Our new friend.
Mm-hmm, friend.
Right, OK, we'd better be off.
Thanks again for looking after her, guys.
Heh-heh.
Come on.
Oh, I want to stay with Eve.
She can take off her hand and it can play cards on its own.
Oh, kids and their crazy imaginations, eh? WILL SIGHS Bye.
Bye, Zoe.
See you later, guys.
See you.
I'll see you out.
WILL COUGHS Yeah, I should be off, too.
Yeah.
See you round.
Yeah, Cain, thanks.
Bye, Cain.
Back off! Back off! HOOVER WHIRS AND BEEPS Stop! I order you to stop.
HOOVER CHIRPS Right Ah! HOOVER'S BEEPING SLOWS TO A STOP Abe! You are grounded.
No, it's justthe Oh HOOVER CHIRPS WEAKLY One splash of water's fine, but you end up in there, and you're blurgh.
Blurgh.
Time to hand in your phones.
The way that she was looking at that lake, it looked like she'd never seen one before.
Let all the tech go.
They hate you.
Their whole point is to destroy AI.
Are you frightened of water? She's in danger.
Come on! Step by step - piece by piece.
