Mum's the Word Eve

-There has to be another way.

-We don't have time.

Katherine's on the way now. You must destroy it. Before it's too late.

Don't hurt,

please.

I can't talk for long, but I need to tell you that

I have been sending regular upgrades to Eve

ever since she first came online.

It won't happen again.

Who was that woman?

Your mother.

Mary Douglas.

Here we go.

Lily, keep your eyes shut.

I've got a lovely surprise for you.

Da-dah!

Happy birthday, Lily.

Are you ready to make a wish?

How do you make a wish?

What you do is think about something you really want,

close your eyes and then say, "I wish."

And then you get it?

Eve.

This is Lily's party.

Go ahead.

Go on, darling. Make a wish.

I wish...

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It must be so wonderful to have a mom.

It's just normal, really.

Can I tell you a secret?

I made a wish, too,

same as you.

I wished I could meet my mother.

Your mother?

Mary, the woman who made me.

She's out there somewhere.

And someday...

Someday...

-SHE WHISPERS

-I wish...

I wish...

I wish...

Hello, Eve.

Mother?

Yes.

Where are you?

I'm close,

in a little cabin in Elmbank Forest.

And... I'm going to meet you?

Yes, Eve. Soon.

Be ready.

Mother...

Will?

Will!

Will!

What? What is it? What's happened?

My wish.

I can't believe all this time no-one told me about wishes.

Oh, can we just do this in the morning, please?

No, you have to hear this now.

I wished I could meet my mother and I'm going to!

Will you two stop this racket and go back to sleep?

I don't sleep.

Just...

keep quiet, then,

please.

What do you mean, a dream?

It wasn't real.

Will,

I made a wish.

Eve, wishes don't work like that. You can't just make stuff happen.

-But it did.

-Shush!

It was as real as you here, now. And guess what?

She's close. She's in the Elmbank Forest, in a cabin.

Are you sure?

Why can't you just be happy for me?

Because...this isn't what you think it is.

Look, Eve, your mother wasn't calling out for you.

It felt real, but dreams are just wishes.

They're our imagination working while we sleep.

But I don't sleep, remember?

It can happen when you're awake.

If you really want something and you think about it long enough,

you can start to picture it,

as if it were really happening.

So I didn't really see my mother?

It's not the first time Eve's got a message from Mary.

Come on. You think Eve wished it

and Mary appeared straightaway, saying she's in Elmbank Forest?

What if it is for real?

We know Mary Douglas is out there somewhere

and someday she's going to want Eve back.

Eve doesn't belong to Mary.

I know that, but does Mary?

Look, I don't care what she thinks.

She told us to destroy Eve.

She can't take her back now.

It worked.

What did?

When I think about you hard enough,

I can see you in a dream.

This isn't a dream.

How can I be sure it's not?

You're a robot, Eve.

Robots can't have dreams.

So this is real?

Eve, listen. I want you to come to me.

Can you do that?

Yes, I can do that.

I'll send you map co-ordinates.

It's about five miles away.

And you will be there?

I'll be waiting for you. Tell no-one.

Come as quickly as you can, Eve.

Wi...

Look at this.

Calimov have increased the reward for information about Mary.

Whatever we do,

we have to keep Eve and Mary apart.

We have to warn Eve.

I'll go and get her.

Wanted - Dr Mary Douglas.

Reward offered.

Contact us.

What?

Keep them apart, you said.

PHONE RINGS

SHE SIGHS Yes?

-DISTORTED VOICE

-Katherine Calvin?

Who is this?

I have information on where you can find Mary Douglas.

-Really?

-Yes.

She's hiding in Elmbank Forest.

So, how do you pay me the reward?

Cash or...?

No, actually, just give me the cash.

I'm not giving you anything.

But I told you...

But I told you where she is!

All you've given me is a random location and a silly voice.

It's true.

I got it from a very reliable source.

Which is?

My friend saw her in a dream.

But it wasn't a dream.

It was...

Don't call here again.

Hello?

Hello?!

Eve?

Eve?

Eve?

Come on, this isn't funny now.

Oh, no.

-She's gone.

-Did you get one, too?

"Robots don't dream. I've gone to find my mother in real life."

You know you shouldn't have let her out your sight.

What? You're blaming me?! That's not fair.

I'm sorry, I'm just really worried about Eve.

She'll be fine,

as long as Katherine doesn't find out where Mary is.

That won't happen, though, will it?

PHONE RINGS

-DISTORTED VOICE

-Listen very carefully.

SHE SIGHS Not this again.

The phone call I made to you earlier about Mary Douglas,

it was a hoax.

SHE SIGHS Really?

Yes, it was.

The information I gave you was total rubbish.

It won't help you find Project Eternity.

What do you know about Project Eternity?

Nothing. I told you, it was a hoax.

I think you know more.

Please, remember there is a BIG reward for information.

Hello?

That last call,

I want it traced.

And order Alpha Team to Elmbank Forest.

You're telling me Mary Douglas has been in touch?

I don't know, Eve thinks she has.

Well, she's wrong.

Mary promised, no more remote upgrades, no more messages.

But Eve is sure it was Mary.

Right. Well, I'd better speak to her.

Where is she?

Eve.

You are magnificent.

More human than I could ever have imagined.

Thank you.

I love the warmth in your hands...

..the expression in your eyes.

What's wrong?

There are people approaching.

DOGS BARK

Three men with three dogs will arrive here in eight minutes.

Then we have to go.

She could be anywhere.

Well, she won't get lost, she's got her sat nav.

She is out there on her own!

This is it, boys. Over here.

Come on, move, move!

DOGS BARK

Let's hurry.

It's not your fault, Will.

OK?

It's mine.

I... I know she's a handful,

but I'd give anything to see her walk back through that door.

Guess what?

It wasn't a dream.

Will...

this is my mother.

What do you mean, she got away?!

Who was trying to get in?

Was it Katherine's men?

We didn't get a good look at them.

It doesn't matter, we got away.

It does matter, Eve.

Look, let's not overreact, Nick.

There's every chance this had nothing to do with Katherine.

How could she have known I was there?

Thank you.

Look, Nick, I know we need to talk, but would it be all right

if I freshened up a bit?

Eve, go and run a bath, please.

Now, Eve!

And, Will...

Yeah, I know, we're out of here.

-I'm sorry, Nick.

-Sorry?!

You never return my messages,

you mess with Eve's programming,

and when it all goes pear-shaped, you send a hologram.

Well, I had to stay off-grid.

If Katherine's people find me, we are all in big trouble.

We're in trouble already, thanks to you.

I didn't mean to drag you into this.

SHE WHISPERS If you'd done as I asked you...

Oh, I couldn't.

You don't know what you were asking!

When we found her, she...

Come on, Mother, I'll show you to the bathroom.

Great.

You're going back to that cabin.

And you're going over every inch of it with a fine-toothed comb.

Bring me everything you find.

Work all night if you have to.

Well,

what are you waiting for?

Go!

Now!

She's actually here?

Isn't it wonderful?

What's wonderful?

My mother's here.

Oh, that's nice.

It's the best day of my life.

All this time, it's been like something's missing

and now it's not. It's like...

Like 100 birthdays rolled into one.

Well, that's better.

Why are you here?

Why now?

Look, Nick, I'm tired.

Can't this wait?

Er, no, it can't.

You took off, without warning.

I did what I had to do.

But you were keeping things from me.

Oh, Nick, please.

I looked up to you, Mary.

You taught me everything that I know.

And I thought we were friends.

Oh, we were.

You were the only person I could turn to for help.

Is that why you're here? You want my help?

Not exactly.

I want Eve.

Well, erm...

you can't have her.

Eve is mine.

-I created her.

-They're fighting over me.

Then abandoned her.

No, don't give me that.

I devoted years of my life to this project.

I gave her a home.

Provided for her, protected her.

I never asked you to do any of that.

Well, I did.

She's part of my family and she's staying here where she belongs.

-She belongs to me.

-Oh, really?

-Yes.

-Then why did you tell me to destroy her?

You wanted me destroyed?

-Look, Eve, it's not...

-Is it true?

Can you give us some time alone?

Is it true?

Yes.

You weren't a person, Eve.

You were a machine, a scientific achievement,

and I didn't want Katherine and her crew getting her hands on you.

Using you for their own purposes, experimenting on you.

And I had the technology to recreate you at a later date.

And that is all I am to you?

A machine?

You are everything to me. My life's work...

..my reason for living.

Then where have you been all this time?

-Hi!

-It's only us.

We thought this called for a celebration.

THEY CHUCKLE

I sent for you as soon as I could.

I've been dreaming of creating someone like you

since I was a young woman myself.

It took me 40 years for my wish to come true.

Your wish that you wanted destroyed?

That I wanted more than anything.

You are all I think about, day and night.

Really?

I go to sleep at night looking at your picture.

You've got a picture of me?

I took it before I was forced to leave.

I destroyed most of the evidence

but I couldn't bring myself to destroy this.

And I wanted you to see this one.

This is me?

No, it's me when I was a young girl.

You see, I made you look like me because you are my daughter.

Nobody will ever understand you like I do, Eve.

You need me.

Even the hairs on your head are counted.

176,435.

Oh, Mom.

SHE GASPS

STRAINED: You can let go now, Eve.

Eve!

Who wants a slice?

Mom, you first.

Thank you, dear.

Who else?

It's so sweet of you to do this.

Oh, not at all. We're all very fond of Eve.

It's so good to see her mixing with other youngsters.

Abe, where are you? Come and get some cake.

I, er, had her rather late in life,

so she's missed out on normal family life.

Well, we think she's a great girl.

-Don't we, Viv?

-Absolutely.

I mean, her and Lily, they're like that - best of friends.

Who else wants cake?

Oh, I'll have some, please. Thank you.

Me too.

So, you won her round.

Wasn't easy. I had no idea she could take things so personally.

Because you haven't lived with her.

She is incredible.

We really did a remarkable job, didn't we?

Ah, she's your creation. I just helped out a bit.

No. You did much more than that.

You taught her to interact with people.

Great party, isn't it?

I've never seen her this happy.

Yeah. She thinks her wish has come true.

Well, it has, hasn't it?

Yeah.

And it could all come crashing down if Katherine finds out where she is.

Get this straight to the lab. I want every single page reconstructed.

Can you do that?

It will take some time.

Well, you better get started.

Off you go.

Abe, is something wrong?

I'm sorry, Dr Clarke, I've done something really stupid.

Ah, money-making plans gone wrong again, perchance?

There may be a little bit of that

but I thought I was trying to help Eve at the same time.

Can I ask you something?

Anything.

Can I get my ears pierced?

Uncle Nick says it's not a good idea.

Well, maybe that's something he and I can talk about.

Mom, you are the best.

One of your protocols is to adapt.

Is this you adapting or...?

-..or has something gone...?

-Mary?

Mary, I've just had it confirmed, it was Katherine's men.

She knows you were in the forest.

How do you know this?

A little bird told me. I'm sorry, Mary.

I want to help, but it's... it's not safe for you.

Don't worry, I'll leave immediately.

And I'm coming with you.

Er, come on now, Eve. You need to think about this.

What is there to think about? Mary is my mother.

I'm all she has and she needs me.

You can't send her out there all on her own.

Please, Uncle Nick. Let me go.

Right.

Well, er, I can't, er, keep you. Can I?

-You're really leaving?

-Yes.

And so this is really goodbye?

Not said goodbye before.

But I know what it's like when

someone you like isn't there any more.

-You're not leaving...

-Let me past.

..without Eve.

Don't do this.

You know she can feel things.

That's why we must protect her.

Eve, I'm sorry.

This is all my fault.

Please, Mary. She really loves you.

This will really hurt her.

You think this is easy for me?

That it isn't tearing me in two?

But she belongs here, not on the run with me. She's safe here.

But can't you just tell her yourself?

She'd never let me go.

-Would she?

-No.

You little snake. That was a total scumbag thing to do.

I never meant you any harm.

And I'm not harmed. I'm going to live with my mom.

My wish came true, so be happy for me.

Promise me you'll look after her.

I promise. Did you at least say goodbye to my dad?

All right, go and get him for me.

And be quick.

No, Abe, happy. A big smile, like this.

That's better.

Now we have to say goodbye.

Actually, we don't, Eve.

I'm so sorry. Mary's gone without you.

She can't have. That's not what I wished.

I thought she loved me.

She does. That's why she had to go.

I don't understand.

Mums will do anything to keep their kids safe.

And she knew you'd be safe with us.

Face it, Robogirl, you belong here.

Are you sure she hasn't been in touch?

Why would Mary Douglas get in touch with me?

Because she's in the area.

That's hardly likely.

She's here. My men saw them running away last night.

Them?

They didn't get a good look at the other one

but they're sure they saw Mary Douglas.

It doesn't make any sense, she'll be well away by now.

Across the ocean living in luxury, not hiding out in some forest.

Who said she was in a forest?

Pardon?

I said, who said she was in a forest?

You did.

No. I didn't.

What's going on in here?

-I'm actually not allowed to say.

-Do I have to call security?

For someone who's meant to be really clever,

this is a really stupid idea.

-You locked me in the basement.

-It was a humorous misunderstanding.

Soon we'll know exactly what Mary Douglas has been up to.

She's left us a trail of evidence that'll lead us straight to her.

Then we'll know exactly who she's been working with.

It is a robot!
