The X & Y Factor Eve

Let's start over.

What's your position?

Nothing to report yet.

Calimov Systems are tracking the chip in her.

We have to shut her down, now.

There's only one bedroom left.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Sorry, just looking for my friend.

You're sure you saw these two at the party?

Yeah, I spoke to this girl.

Said her name was Eve.

She's the niece of Nick Clarke.

One of our engineers.

And that's his son, Will.

I have a hunch the Clarke family know more about Project Eternity

than they're letting on.

You think they're in contact with Mary?

Or she's using them somehow.

-Without them knowing it.

-Let me go over there.

Make friends with this girl.

See what I can find out in the house.

I admire your enthusiasm.

But it's Saturday.

I don't want Nick catching you snooping around.

Can't you call him in for some bogus work thing?

I like the way you think, Zac.

But, if you get caught...

I don't know you.

Again? Can't it wait until Monday? This is my weekend.

Ow! Ow! What are you playing at?

No, no, not you.

All right, all right, I'm on my way in.

-EVE:

-Ouch!

Yes! Will Clarke beats The Terminator.

Er, can we not call Eve that, please.

Right, I've got to go to work.

Katherine says it's urgent.

Yeah, urgent that you kiss her again.

Why do humans kiss?

Show how much they...love someone.

-Isn't that right, Dad?

-I do not love Katherine.

I did it to protect you.

Scientific studies show over five million bacteria

are exchanged during a kiss.

Why would you risk your health?

Mmm. Why indeed?

See you both later.

Bye-bye, William.

Agh. Dad!

Suddenly feel ill.

Ow!

Let's play tennis in the garden.

Do I look like the sporty outdoor type to you?

Come on. I can't play on my own.

It's not fair.

Will has Eve to play with all day.

Wish I had a best friend like Eve.

Eve is not Will's best friend.

I am.

Yeah, right. HE LAUGHS

ROCK MUSIC PLAYS

CHEERING ON TV

Ha! Yeah. Look.

-Golden tonsils.

-HE SIGHS

Beat that.

ELECTRONIC VOICE

What is that noise you're making?

I'm communicating with the programme using a digital frequency interface.

No, Eve, you can't do that.

Eve, no, that's cheating.

ELECTRONIC VOICE

Sorry.

Are you looking for someone?

I'm looking for Eve. Does she live here?

We met at a Halloween party.

You, too, I think.

Oh...you're the guy she...

Hit.

Sucker for punishment, I know.

So, does she live here?

Yeah, but I think she went out. She's hardly ever in.

Like, never.

Well, I guess there's only one way to find out.

Look who I found on the doorstep.

-Oh, you're the guy Eve...

-Hit.

Yeah.

Zac Dominguez Guerrero.

So, is she in?

-Well, actually...

-EVE:

-'I'm winning!'

ELECTRONIC VOICE

I got the high score.

Eve, um, someone here to see you.

Zac!

I calculated there was only an 8.4% chance of seeing you again

-after I...

-Hit me? Yeah.

I've forgotten about it.

Just wish everyone else would.

You're my first ever visitor.

Of the day, obviously.

She's had visitors before, right.

Of course.

Please, sit, and we can talk.

Er, what was that weird noise coming from in here?

-The radio.

-The TV.

Um...it was a voice-changing game.

You sing and it does weird stuff to your voice.

Oh, you know what, Eve?

You can't do this right now.

Cos...

We've got that thing.

Thing?

What does 'thing' mean?

We were going to go and see that movie. Remember?

I think you're in error.

We have no appointment to see a movie today.

I could, er, get going if you've got stuff to do.

-Probably for the best.

-Some other time, yeah.

Please stay. They can go to see the movie without me.

Or we could stay and hang out with you guys.

We could all play Song Wars.

Yeah, that sounds fun.

No!

I, um...

I mean...

the...the batteries ran out on the mics.

So I'll just take...them.

There are batteries in the basement. Zac and I will fetch them.

No. I'll go.

You...you stay here.

WILL BREATHES HEAVILY

Er, what is this?

We think it's one of Mary's prototypes.

I need you to rebuild it.

Where are the engineering plans?

She must have deleted the files.

How am I supposed to rebuild it,

if I don't know what it is, or...

how it works?

You're clever.

You'll work it out.

Hey, Dad. Do you want to fly this model aeroplane with me?

Yeah. Yeah, you know what, why not?

I thought it was ready to fly.

Six hours and this tub of glue should do it.

Ah, do you...do you know what? I've, um... I've got...

I've got a couple of things to do. All right?

But you need two people. One to hold and one to glue.

Yeah, look, I'm sorry. Another time, yeah? But have fun, though.

-You wasn't supposed to leave them alone.

-Stop panicking.

He won't be here for long.

-This visit's just phase one.

-ZAC: We should sing together.

What's phase one?

Make contact.

Show you're interested but not too interested.

You've got to keep them guessing.

Wow. You're good.

How do you know all this stuff?

I get bored at school.

Watching how boys operate helps me pass the time.

I heard your uncle works at Calimov Systems.

That's pretty cool.

Ever get to see the stuff he's working on?

Sometimes. He doesn't like to be disturbed

when he's working on his electronics projects in the basement.

Ah, gotcha.

Can I use your toilet?

There's one upstairs.

How's it going?

Making progress. It's starting to take shape.

What do you think it could be?

Some sort of advanced energy generator...perhaps?

Hmm. Intriguing.

Keep up the good work.

Does this have to be done today?

I'd rather like to spend some time with my family.

I'm starting to wonder just how committed you are to Calimov Systems.

I'll stick at it.

Good decision.

-Why can't Zac be my friend?

-Because he don't want to be your friend.

-He doesn't like me?

-No, he wants to be your boyfriend.

Why is that a problem? Will is your boyfriend.

-No, we're friends...

-It's not like that.

-..but it's like not...

He wants to...you know, kiss you.

-You think he loves me?

-You made a big impression on him at the party.

-And not just with your fist.

-You need to tell him

-you're not interested. Get rid of him, yeah?

-But I am interested.

I would like to analyse five million bacteria under a microscope.

If he finds out you're a robot, you'll be the one under a microscope.

All right?

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Sorry.

I couldn't resist a quick peek at your uncle's workbench.

I must ask you to leave now.

Oh.

I mean, have I upset you? I thought we were having fun.

We were.

But now I must have fun with Will and Lily.

Sure. I have to get going anyway, so...

ELECTRONIC VOICE

HE SIGHS

Why don't we play something else?

Will Zac ever come back?

Eve, forget about Zac.

You've got us two. Right, Lily?

Yeah, I mean...

who needs the hassle of boyfriends anyway? Yuk.

Let's get back to having some fun, yeah?

I don't feel like playing.

I'll talk my way back in...and finish the job.

I almost got into his personal laptop.

Find out what's on it.

And try and get one of the Clarkes relaxed enough to spill the beans.

They must know something.

Eve's my best shot.

I think she likes me.

Then use it.

Oh-oh.

That's blown it.

He's never met you. Play it cool.

Nick.

This is Zac. Our new apprentice.

He'll be joining you in the lab very soon.

Right. Well, welcome to Calimov.

Anything I can do to help, just give me a shout.

Thanks. I think I'm going to need all the help I can get.

TELEPHONE RINGS

Clarke residence, Eve speaking.

'Hey, Eve, it's Zac.'

Zac asked me on a date tonight. I said yes. What's a date?

Well, you do something together, like go to the movies.

No, you can't go.

It'd be much safer if you'd just stay here and hang out with me

and Lily. Isn't that right, Lily?

-I think she should go.

-What?!

I must recalibrate before the date.

Playing hard to get will only make Zac more determined.

Let them go out. He will get bored and move on anyway.

-Yeah, and what if he doesn't get bored?

-Boys always get bored.

We can't leave them two alone together. It is too risky.

Maybe Eve wants to take that risk.

You're going to have to let her meet other boys one day.

She is my friend. I don't want to see her get hurt.

Grrr!

Grrr! Let's get ready to rumble!

Not now, Abe.

Perfect, you'll knock him dead.

But...don't do that.

Seriously.

-What do I say to Zac on the date?

-You know, just this and that.

Chitchat. Fun stuff.

Zac is from Cuba. I could list facts about his home country.

More fun than not. Pop music, that is always a good icebreaker.

I will download data on that.

What do you talk about on your dates?

You know, I just go with the flow, see where the banter takes us.

-Do you hold hands?

-Sometimes.

-Would you kiss on a first date?

-If it was Zac, then definitely.

What is the proper technique for kissing?

Can't you just look it up or something?

You don't have the data?

-See, the thing is...

-Have you ever been on a date?

-Well, I never said I was an expert.

-Come with me tonight,

then we can both go on our first dates together.

Thanks, but that is not how it works.

Two's company, three's a crowd.

But tell me all about it when you get back.

EVE SQUEAKS

-Can we play a different game?

-No, we are playing this game.

It will be fun.

-Whoever finds the most dirt on Zac wins?

-Yes!

Right, ready, steady... Go!

-If I win, can I choose the next game?

-Yeah, yeah, sure.

Just keep searching, will you?

POP MUSIC SOUNDS

# The first day I met you

# You were so sweet

# And meeting you was like a dream come true

# You swept me off my feet. #

What are you?

MOTOR WHIRRS

I don't believe it.

-TELEVISION:

-'Oh, I love you.'

'I love you, Paula.

'Goodbye, Paula.'

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Wow.

You look...amazing.

Come in.

-I thought our date was tonight.

-I couldn't wait till tonight.

-Can we go now instead?

-Yes.

But I must gather items I will take with me

and inform Will of the change to my schedule.

-HE LAUGHS

-OK, I'll wait for you.

SHE GIGGLES HE LAUGHS

(OK...)

Boom, look at this. A photo of him with another girl.

That's Zac's sister.

How do you know?

Cos it says it on the tag there. Just keep looking, yeah?

-But...

-We need some proper dirt on Zac

if we're going to put Eve off him.

Keep looking.

I hope you're getting this, Katherine.

Let's commence our date.

After you, my lady.

Attaboy.

That's more like it.

I thought we were going to the movies.

Isn't that what you do on a date?

Well, seeing that Song Wars gave me an idea.

Look, they do lunchtime karaoke.

And I know how much you like singing.

We're going to sing?

Well, let's eat first.

I always feel braver on a full stomach.

I reserved a table for us.

Hey. He works at Calimov.

He kept that quiet.

-How come Zac and Eve...?

-Look at this.

Zac works for Katherine.

We have to get Eve to cancel that date.

It's too late, she just texted me.

She says she's gone to that Italian place in town.

That's where they do lunchtime karaoke.

We better run.

It's just a vacuum cleaner.

Really?

I thought it was going to be something much more exciting.

Next time you need something fixing urgently, call someone else.

Before you go...there's just one other thing we need to clear up.

I want you to tell me what the password is for this folder.

Er, that's from my home laptop.

How did you get it?

Eternal.

More like Eternity.

Project Eternity.

-You're, you're out of your mind.

-Give me the password.

-It's private.

-Then we'll just sit and wait

while my password cracking software works it out.

I'll just watch you eat.

I'm not eating alone, Eve.

Come on, you have to order something.

-Mmm.

-Mmm.

Rebecca.

Your ex-wife still guarding your secrets?

Not any more.

I password protected my private photos to stop them

getting accidentally deleted.

I, er...

I told you - I don't know anything about Project Eternity

and I haven't spoken to Mary since she left.

Stay away from my family, please.

PHONE RINGS

-'Katherine.'

-The data was useless.

Find out what Eve knows.

Get me something I can use.

OK. Got it.

Uh-huh.

-Got it.

-'Get me information...'

OK.

Yeah, no problem.

Bye.

Sorry.

-Have you completed your mobile communication?

-Yes.

And you really do have a funny way of talking.

How was the spaghetti?

De-licious!

Guess where I got a job?

Calimov Systems.

Congratulations.

Yeah, I bumped into your uncle Nick.

We're going to be working together on this thing called, er,

Project Eternity.

Sounds...interesting.

I don't know much about it yet.

Does he, er...?

does he ever talk to you about it?

Nick is very security-conscious.

I guess I'll find out soon.

You want something else to eat?

I have sufficient calories, thank you.

I'm really enjoying this date.

I don't think I've ever met anyone like you before.

Is that good or bad?

Good.

All kinds of good.

Come on, let's sing.

There she is.

No, no, no, no. Don't sing.

Too late.

# The first day I met you

# You were so sweet

# And meeting you is like a dream come true

# You swept me off my feet

# And now every day I'm blessed

# And in my heart I feel

# I kiss your lips 100 times

# A thousand reasons to stay right by your side

# The way you make me feel

# Touch the sky, feel alive

# The way you make me feel

# I could run a million miles

# Now the fairy tale has started

# Happy endings I will share with you

# The way you make me feel. #

You ARE amazing.

You know that, Eve?

AUDIENCE: Oh! Whoa!

Whoa.

It's not bad as first kisses go.

This has to stop now.

Eve!

We're leaving.

But...I haven't finished my date!

It's an emergency.

Where are you going?!

Eve!

Katherine sent him to spy on us, Eve.

He asked a lot of questions.

I thought he was acquiring data because he was interested in me.

Oh, I'm sorry, Eve. I know how much you liked him.

My first date with a human boy has ended in failure.

OK, so Zac was a rat.

You've still got me and Will.

So Will caught up with her before I could get anywhere.

You got nothing out of the girl?

Not yet. But I still think I could get her back on-side.

I don't think so.

-But she may have...

-The Clarke family is a dead end.

Nick's not going to lead us to Mary.

But I've got a better idea.

Arrr! You're on my team.

We are going to go to attack Will and Lily's base out in the garden.

Come on!

You crack this and we're one step closer to finding Project Eternity.

For you.

This is dying foliage.

We need to get Zac out the picture.

Get Katherine to fire him.

Have you any idea what you did?

I just don't want to look at you right now.

Please do not hate me.
