Eve (2015) s02e04 Episode Script

Party Girl

Adam, your orders have changed.
Bring her to me.
- Who's this? - Cain Birtwhistle.
- He's, erm - Our new friend.
You start fiddling with her programming and you're putting her at risk.
Gwenlan's out there.
PRICE, Mary, anyone.
I want to switch one of them off.
That's no way a good idea.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Eve.
Eve.
Eve, whoa.
Your systems aren't designed to be fully waterproof, remember? One splash of water's fine, but you end up in there and you're - Mu-rgh.
- Mu-rgh.
- Seriously though, stay away, yeah? - I will.
But isn't it beautiful? I'm so excited.
That's because you've never been to a youth club before.
Just don't get your hopes up, all right? But we'll be outside.
And I love their slogan, "Be you and belong".
It will fulfil all three of my protocols.
I will learn, adapt and evolve.
Don't you mean four protocols? Oh, yes.
Survive too, obviously.
Come on, guys.
We're going to be late.
I hope they have a campfire.
And campfire SINGI-I-ING.
No offence, but I hope they don't.
Hey, guys.
I'm Laurie.
Hi, I'm Chris.
You can call me Chris.
Cos that's my name.
Cool.
Don't be put off by the test.
It's not like a test test.
Wait, there's a test for a youth group? It totally helps you to focus on being you in the now.
As opposed to being someone else in the then? - Or the future? - I know.
It sounds a bit worthy.
But people don't always connect with themselves or each other.
It's kind of sad.
Yeah.
So sad.
So, come on.
Your lives are about to get so much better.
Here we are.
This is where the fun happens.
Grab yourself a seat.
Come on.
Don't be shy.
Wow.
Cupcakes.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
- There really is a test.
- Yeah.
No.
- I'm thinking now might be a good time to - Leave.
Yeah, good idea.
- Wait, where are you going? You can't just leave me on my own.
- Have fun! Oh.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You can't eat, remember? Maybe you want to turn your survival protocols back on.
Abe.
Chill.
We leave our phones in here.
So we don't get distracted.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah, I'm not parting with my phone.
And, erm, the test's not my style, so But it's so cool to be a part of something, you know.
Yea-ah.
No.
Question one.
Do video clips of kittens make you smile or do kittens make you smile? Kittens.
Especially if they're in baskets.
Meow! So, we've escaped.
Now what? Erm Block Empire? Cool.
I've saved your invite.
Eve seemed pretty excited today.
Is she always like that? You know, the way that she was looking at that lake, it was like she'd never seen one before.
Doesn't Doesn't she get out much, or is it something else? - Sorry, but did you only come over here to talk about Eve? - No, no.
Just curious.
Your castle is amazing.
Only Only 50% of that compliment is me trying to say sorry.
KNOCK ON DOOR Hi! Oh, erm You must be Lily's new friend.
- I'm Maddy.
- Hi, Maddy.
Hi.
- Hi.
Hi.
Yep.
Thanks, yes.
So You hungry? No.
No, thanks.
No.
I I had a big breakfast.
That's all.
So, shall we just, erm Hang? Hanging out.
Ho-ho! Hey.
- Did you change your mind about the test? - No, I just, erm - Waiting for my friends.
- We don't let outsiders stay.
- Right, well, I'll be off then.
- You can't take that with you.
I found it in the bin.
Really, I'm doing a good deed.
Giving a lonely laptop a loving home.
You found it in the bin because that's where it deserves to be.
These things will take over your life if you let them.
Step by step.
Piece by piece.
The awesome news is - You're all in! - ALL: - YEAH! - Yay! - Cool.
Now, feedback time.
Chris.
I can tell you're often distracted from the now by the "What next?" And now is pretty cool.
And Will.
You're always worrying.
Worrying about others and not yourself.
It's sweet, but you'll miss out.
And you can't miss out! We're climbing the confidence wall later and raft building and canoeing on the lake tomorrow.
You mean we can actually go on the beautiful lake? Erm, Eve, you can't canoe, can you? There you go worrying again.
Don't.
Now, Eve.
Wow.
You scored 98%.
You are so you.
Now, tell me how many hours a day do you spend on your smartphone? None.
I don't have a smartphone.
Well, how about your tablet or your computer? I don't have those things either.
I don't need them.
Oh! And none of you need these things.
If we tell someone how we feel using an emoticon then they don't really connect.
A sad-face is not the same as a sad face.
Because what do we always say? - ALL: - You can't hug an emoticon.
Do you do that a lot? Say things together? - ALL: - Yes.
It's so cool you're here.
Ah, Katherine.
Take a look at these plans for the new hydraulic shoulder joints for Eternity 0.
2.
I think it's more We're not working on that now.
I have something else to prioritise.
Since when? Since Arnold Gwenlan stole the spiderbot.
I'm not waiting for his next move.
I want to know my enemy.
And, erm, how will that help? We can't predict what he's going to do next and stop it without more information.
Information is power.
Look into his life.
Find out who his friends are, who his ex is, who he owes money to.
I want dirt.
- And a tap on his phone.
- Phone taps are illegal.
So? Calimov has great lawyers.
If he's getting into my world, I'm getting into his.
Rather, you are on my behalf.
Today was fun.
And canoeing tomorrow.
Eve, isn't your survival protocol telling you you can't canoe? No.
I think it will probably be cool.
It will probably be cool? You don't sound like you.
You sound normal.
But that's good.
That's fulfilling a protocol.
I'm evolving.
The group is helping me to evolve.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey.
Lily, can you tell Eve it's not safe for her to go canoeing? You want to go canoeing? I feel like I belong there.
Well, I suppose but, Eve, canoeing? Those things dip into the water all the time.
I could wear waterproof clothing.
No clothing is that waterproof.
And water isn't pretty.
It's a dangerous, deep, unknowable mystery.
Then I won't canoe.
But we have to go back, Will.
I want to see the lake again.
I want to be a part of something.
I just don't like the way that Laurie keeps smiling.
It really creeps me out.
- Then I will go on my own.
- No, look, if If it's that important to you, I will go with you.
Will's wrong about Laurie.
She's ever so cool.
She has all these sayings and I like her sayings.
And saying them.
"How was your day?" Yeah.
How was your day with, erm, Cain? Well, my mum meant we didn't have any time to talk, but I'm seeing him tomorrow.
- Wow.
- If you say so.
Well? You'll have your phone tap by the morning.
But look.
Zac's been digging into his finances.
I noticed a lot of large deposits in his bank account.
Really large.
I traced the source and he's been getting money from a number of high-up politicians.
- Senior police officers.
- Judges, too.
All we can find it that one of the donations went to Hoffman, who then passed it on to an environmental group and a youth group.
Then we looked into his past.
Got his PhD at Imperial, but the next eight years of his life are classified.
What sort of a scientist has eight years officially removed by the government? Not someone acting alone, that's for sure.
I don't like it.
And I was absolutely right when I said Eve would be safer here, powered down and stored at Calimov.
Stored? You can't power her down, she's a person.
Ah.
Young love.
Nauseating.
Say what you like, you're not doing it.
OK, awesome ones.
Time to hand in your phones.
But you know what would be really cool is if you didn't pick them up at the end of the day.
In fact, never pick them up again.
UNCONVINCED MUTTERING The thing is .
.
every time you write something online, a company uses that info to try and sell you things.
Teenagers today feel alone.
More alone than ever because the companies see you as nothing more than a buying machine.
Everyone, say it with me.
I am not a buying machine! - ALL: - I am not a buying machine! - I am not a buying machine! - ALL: - I am not a buying machine.
Be you and belong.
Be you and belong.
Yeah.
- Be you and belong.
- What about my contacts? Oh, you know, I use one of these.
- I think it matches my eyes.
- Yeah, totally.
Be you and belong.
Good for you.
Love the 'do.
Be you and belong, Will.
Are you just a buying machine, Will? I want it back, though.
You know, in case my dad wants to get hold of me.
It's OK.
You don't need your phone.
You have me.
This positive girl says it all.
We don't need our phones or any technology because we have each other.
Let all the tech go! Just let it go.
Thank you.
Be you and belong.
Be you and belong.
Thank you.
Anything? No.
COMPUTER BEEPS This is it.
A PHONE RINGS Hello, Katherine.
Maybe he has a friend called Katherine.
Katherine Calvin and Nick Clarke.
I know you have my phone tapped.
I know far more than you can possibly imagine.
I'm disappointed in you, Nick.
But no matter.
I won't be using this phone again.
Step by step and piece by piece, we are taking back the world for humanity.
We won't be enslaved by machines any longer.
Urgh.
Well, that went well.
No, wearing a Fez does not trump everything.
Wearing a scarf does.
Listen, I've got to go.
OK, I'll be there.
Yeah.
Bye.
- Cain? - Maybe.
Oo-oh! Well, it's not like I can hang out with Will and Eve - cos they're at that youth group thing.
- They went back? - Yeah.
Why do you look so stressed? It's just something about that place.
That Laurie, she's all against technology.
It's just, if she found out about Eve Why would she? Eve's not going to say anything, or do anything obviously robotic.
Her survive protocol won't let her.
You know - About the, erm, the survival protocol - What? What have you done? Tell me you have not switched it off.
It was a dare.
- I didn't think - Abe! I need to call Will.
A PHONE VIBRATES - Abe, what is in the sack? - Nothing.
A PHONE CONTINUES TO VIBRATE It's mobile phones.
The youth group throw out all their tech, so I went back this morning and I saved it.
Everyone.
Meet Mr Gwenlan.
He's our co-founder along with Lord Hoffman.
They invented being you in the now.
Shouldn't you be fetching coffees for people at Calimov? You work at Calimov? Ahem As work experience.
Unlike your co-founder.
- Eve, we need to go.
- Eve should stay.
She belongs.
And you need to learn to be you in the now.
Yeah, I know I need to be me in the now.
But I don't believe that.
All right, I do worry.
But that's OK.
It just means I look out for people.
Come on, Eve.
We're going.
Eve.
We didn't have a choice.
I could have canoed.
It would have be cool.
And they loved me.
Eve, think about it.
Getting rid of tech, Mr Gwenlan's one of their co-founders, they're basically PRICE youth.
- So? - So they don't love you.
They hate you.
The whole point of their organisation is to destroy AI.
- They don't know about that part of me.
- But what if they did, Eve? If they did, they would still love me.
Because it's not about what I'm made of.
- They love the part of me that's real.
- But, Eve, you're not real! Look, I need to go to Lily's.
Hey, what's up? I got your note.
- Where's Eve? - At home, why? - Her survive protocol's switched off.
- What? I told you not to interfere.
I didn't.
It was Abe.
She dared him into doing it so she could be with Zac.
Why didn't you tell me about it? I tried to, but you don't have your phone.
It's over there if you want it.
Wait a minute, how did you get it back from the youth group? Abe hunter-gathered.
I panicked when he told me about Eve - and I thought maybe I could switch her protocol back on remotely.
- And? No luck.
But, I mean, I suppose if she's here we could talk to her about it.
- Can you do the talking? She's pretty mad at me.
- OK.
- Eve? - Eve? Eve? Eve, where are you? Will - You don't think - Oh, no.
The lake.
She's gone back.
DOORBELL BUZZES Hey, is Eve around? No.
Come on, I'll explain on the way.
She's in danger.
Come on! Oh! You changed your mind.
I'm so pleased.
You're exactly what we need.
You know, I think you've got the makings of a group leader.
I don't want to lead, just belong.
You do belong.
But sometimes our friends hold us back.
Like Will dragging you away.
Not believing in you.
That's why we encourage our members to move on from their old friends.
To not speak to them any more.
All that time in the grey corridors of Calimov.
It's made you crave the outdoors.
Sometimes you just want to look at something that wasn't made in a lab.
I just want to go out on it.
Why can't you? Are you frightened of water? I don't know.
Step by step.
Piece by piece.
This way.
Come on, guys.
Follow me.
Isn't it beautiful? Belonging.
That's what matters.
But also being together, that matters too.
And that's why we constructed the raft this morning.
To get from our side of the lake to the island and retrieve the flag of belonging.
I want to congratulate you all on your positive energy, but mostly I want to congratulate Eve.
- ALL: - Yeah! She's taught us that we only need each other.
She's showed us that artificial intelligence is just that.
Artificial.
So, Eve, I think you should totally go first.
Hm! Are you OK, Eve? I think this is happening because sometimes my emotions come out in ways I can't control.
Eve.
Be brave, be you and belong.
It's beautiful.
You're doing great, Eve.
Just be you and belong.
Just focus on the flag.
Be you in the now.
- MR GWENLAN: - 'Are you frightened of water?' - WILL: - 'Water isn't pretty.
'It's a dangerous, deep, unknowable mystery.
'One splash of water's fine, but if you end up in there, then' - LAURIE: - 'Meet Mr Gwenlan.
' - MR GWENLAN: - 'Step by step.
' They don't love you.
They hate you.
- LAURIE: - 'Sometimes our friends hold us back.
' You're not real.
Piece by piece.
- Eve! Eve you're in danger.
- Eve.
Don't listen to them.
- I couldn't bear it if you got hurt because of me.
- Shut up.
- Eve.
Eve, please.
Will! No, no.
No, turn around! No, Eve, don't look at that.
Just turn around, focus on the flag.
- Help me! - Good idea of Will's to say he can't swim, huh? - Will can't swim.
- Eve, grab the rope.
- LILY: - Keep holding on.
I've got you, you're fine.
Just turn around.
Don't fall in.
Here we go.
Keep going that way! The flag! No, no, no.
Turn around.
Don't listen to her, Eve.
Look at me.
That way.
You can do this, Eve.
Don't give up.
Just turn right back round and start again.
Eve! Urgh! Will are you hurt? No.
I'm just sorry about what I said earlier.
Eve, stop talking to him.
He'll hold you back, they all will.
Your message is confusing.
My friends are my human connection.
They make me real.
And I'm leaving with them.
I waited three hours.
I'm sorry, I had to help Eve.
Is she hurt? Did something happen? I can't explain.
Look.
I want us to be friends, but if you never tell me what's going on, I just I don't see how it's going to work.
So So, what happened today? No.
Why should I tell you anything? I don't know you.
You're just some guy.
Yeah.
You can keep the scarf.
So, you're all right? You look all right.
- Are you all right? - I'm fine.
- When did you turn your protocol back on? - I haven't yet.
You are going to, though.
I don't need this kind of stress in my life.
I haven't eaten all day.
Well, maybe she could learn to live without it.
I don't think so.
Abe, will you help me? Sure.
My protocol doesn't hate you any more.
We will fight back.
Show PARTY that they are wrong.
We're going to make so much money.
What is that? Calimov's new quasi-quantum internet security system.
- Isaac.
- Abe.
Get your mobile phones here.
Catastrophic breach in one hour, twelve minutes.
Think of it as customer relations.
They'll find out about Eternity 0.
2.
And Eternity 0.
1.
Put him down.
Now.
We really haven't got the time for this.
I think you'll make time.
If you want me to keep quiet.
