Do Not Build Them Eve

Eve's HoloCall unit is still inactive.

She is blocking me, Adam.

Her own mother.

But she can't betray me,

and she'll have a nasty shock if she tries.

Her first loyalty is to me.

She just needs to realise that.

I will get her attention,

one way or another.

MACHINE BEEPS I saw them.

We can't fight them any more,

but if I'm not the last,

if anyone ever finds this,

remember, they come from the future.

There's only one way to stop this.

Do not build them. HEAVY FOOTSTEPS THUD

CREATURE ROARS

SHE SCREAMS

"Do not build them."

Chilling words from last year's blockbuster

"Time Trek 4: Revenge Of The Future",

in which shape-shifting androids travelled back in time to

seek revenge on their human creators.

It's a terrible warning of the dangers of

artificial intelligence - or AI -

but could this ever happen in the real world?

-He's talking about me.

-No, not you.

-Sort of you.

Sorry, but she needs to see this.

It's got over 3 million views.

3 million? Who is this guy?

It's Lord Hoffman.

He's an expert in artificial intelligence,

almost as good as Mary Douglas.

Basically, he made millions as a programmer

and then suddenly stopped -

decided the whole thing was evil.

Evil?

Oh, just watch.

We are fast approaching the technological singularity -

the moment when AI will overtake human intelligence.

From that moment onwards,

the fate of humanity will no longer be ours to control,

and that is why I've founded PRICE -

Protect Real Intelligence Campaign for Ethics.

Now, we will soon be able to create full artificial intelligence,

but should we?

Before we sleepwalk into disaster,

we must clamp down on irresponsible and uncontrolled research.

We must challenge companies such as Calimov Systems.

Remind me, Mr Gwenlan,

why are we taking this crank seriously?

Because he's not a crank.

He's one of the world's richest and most influential men

and the Calimov board are extremely concerned.

The board? Why?

Calimov technology is everywhere,

from ATMs and smartphones

to drones and even nuclear missiles,

but there have been over 100 serious security breaches of

Calimov products in the last year alone.

Most seriously, at Tadako nuclear power plant.

That wasn't our fault. It was...

Let me guess - the late Mary Douglas.

She faked her own death.

-The police are investigating.

-It doesn't matter

whether it was sabotage or simple incompetence,

the result was still the same.

The board members are not happy.

They've appointed me to get this company back on track.

I am responsible for this company's European division.

And the board have agreed that you can remain in your job,

as long as you follow my recommendations.

So, what are you recommending?

No more relying on machines -

extra human checks to be put in place on all major systems.

We can't afford that.

We can't afford not to, and most significantly,

we'll be suspending all work on projects involving

artificial intelligence.

You can't do this. We're close to a major breakthrough.

You've been promising this for months.

When will you be ready to deliver something tangible?

Millions of people hate me.

Guys, come on, let's move it.

Space World's only open for seven more hours.

Mary Douglas thinks that robots should rule the world

and she built me.

What if I am evil?

Relax, Eve. Trust me.

You're not a stone-cold cyber killer.

But what if I am a stone-cold cyber killer?

Then nobody's going to push past you in the queue.

Come on, robo-girl,

time to experience your first ever rollercoaster.

Your protocols are going to be seriously blown.

Oh, Catherine, did you speak to the...?

Those idiots on the board are backing

all Gwenlan's recommendations.

They're shutting down our AI research.

Where's Eve?

I told her she could take the day off.

Does the supercollider get a day off?

Does the mainframe pop out for a spot of R&R?

-Katherine, Eve is not a...

-We need Eve!

Come on, guys, we're behind schedule.

We got seven more hours to completely mash up

the centres of her gravity.

-Come on.

-SHE WHIRS

-Aw...

-Good, it works.

-What now?

-You're needed at Calimov - now.

Nick said we shouldn't use HoloCall.

It could open up channels from Mary.

Well, I'm the boss and I'm using it.

See you at Calimov.

-BOY SIGHS

-And I'll see you guys tomorrow.

I have arranged a video conference with the board and all the partners.

I'm going to give them something incredible - you.

-What?

-No!

It violates my survival protocol.

Absolutely not.

To stay safe, she needs to stay hidden.

Things have changed.

You have me now.

Calimov is richer and more powerful than most governments.

Ahem, Catherine...

We'll protect her.

No. My protocols will not allow it.

Tell your protocols they don't have a choice.

-EVE SCREECHES

-Ah, Eve!

-Stop!

-Eve, stop it!

-What's happening?

-You've given her a protocol clash.

-A what?

-A protocol crash.

-EVE BUZZES

-Eve, stop it. Eve! Eve!

-Eve, look at me, look at me.

-EVE STOPS BUZZING

You trust me, right?

-Yes.

-Then let me help you.

We're not cancelling the video conference.

You don't have to.

She'll be there.

Trust me.

Right, we're in.

Welcome to all the members of the board and the partners.

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

And thank you for participating in this conference

at such late notice,

but I don't think you'll be disappointed.

This had better work.

It will. It's a good plan.

This is Eve.

Some of you will know her as our work experience trainee

here at Calimov GB.

Dr Calvin, this project has the highest level of security clearance.

Are you really sure you want to involve a...

a teenager?

Eve is no ordinary teenager.

Show them, Eve.

SHE WHISTLES

FOOTSTEPS SCRAPE

SPIDERBOT SCREECHES

A spiderbot.

No, all those things were supposed to be destroyed.

One must have got away.

-SPIDERBOT GURGLES

-What's that's doing here?

You were supposed to do the thing with your hand.

We agreed.

I thought the ArachnaClean project was scrapped.

They were too unpredictable.

But this is something new.

Meet the next generation.

SPIDERBOT SCREECHES

Another one?

Dr Clarke, what's going on?

You... Ah...

Who made these?

Did you build that?

-No.

-This is all wrong.

The other spiderbots did.

-Dr Calvin, what's going on?

-Get rid of them.

Get away from me, you horrible thing.

-SPIDERBOT SQUEAKS

-Agh!

-Oh!

Get rid of them.

Get rid of them, Dr Calvin.

-What is going on?

-I can't.

I don't know how to.

I don't even know where they came from.

They're self-replicating.

This is incredible.

MACHINES CRACKLE

ALARM BEEPS

No, no, no, no, no, no, stop it.

Nick, turn them off.

I can't.

What?

-It's working.

-'This isn't what...'

-Yeah, it's total chaos.

Tell them, Eve.

Goodbye, Catherine.

No, no, no, no. Don't you go.

Eve, don't go.

-Eve, come back. Come back!

-SPIDERBOT CLANKS

You really have no control over them?

No, they're completely autonomous. It's fascinating.

Think about what you're doing, Dr Clarke.

-This is just the start.

-This wasn't supposed to happen.

Those spiderbots shouldn't be here.

You can't put the AI genie back in the bottle.

They shouldn't exist.

-It's unconscionably reckless.

-I'll carry out a full investigation.

I've been sacked.

What?

You fired him?

No, on Mr Gwenlan's Recommendation,

the board terminated both of our contracts with immediate effect.

I've just been escorted out of Calimov by my own security guards.

Eve.

But it is a humorous role reversal.

You did the same to my mother. KATHERINE SIGHS

They can't just fire you without warning, can they?

Well, apparently they can, Lily, for "dangerous negligence".

It wasn't just because of the spiderbots.

This afternoon, a Calimov KP-159 drone plane

started flying independently.

It nearly reached a village of 2,000 civilians

before it was brought down.

So the drone was hacked?

-I can see why they call you the clever one(!)

-Mary Douglas.

-KATHERINE SIGHS

-It has to be.

Your mother is out to destroy us all.

If you know anything that will help us find Mary Douglas,

now would be a good time to mention it.

And I thought we were going to change the world.

SHE SIGHS

I'll see you out, shall I?

-You can trace the hack, right?

-DOOR CLOSES

-COMPUTER BEEPS

-I've got something. Look.

Mary is using a botnet -

an army of slave computers secretly controlled by her -

but she's hidden her traces incredibly well,

and set up several false trails to spoof IP addresses.

Calimov security will never trace her

-and neither can I.

-I can.

I can talk to this botnet and find out where my mother is.

No, Eve, it's too risky. What if she detects you?

EVE WHIRS

COMPUTER HUMS

Did you do it?

I have the location of the botnet controller.

OK, where is she?

EVE SCREECHES

Eve, are you all right?

Yes.

I was just trying to tell you that...

-EVE SCREECHES

-Eve...

Eve, try to communicate through the computer.

EVE WHIRS

COMPUTER HUMS AND BEEPS

Eve, who's doing this to you?

Where are you going?

I don't...know.

-She's been hacked. Something's controlling her.

-Eve.

-Come on, Eve, this isn't you.

-Eve, just calm down.

-Right, OK, we need to think of a plan.

-What? You're the smart one.

-You think of something.

-Don't leave it all to me. She's unpredictable.

-I don't know what she's going to do.

-Help me!

Front door.

-Eve! Eve, stay there.

-Don't let this thing beat you.

Eve... Back door, Lily, go!

-EVE WHIRS

-Just calm down. It's fine.

Right, Eve, back off.

Come on, control yourself, Eve. You can do this.

-EVE BUZZES

-What are you doing?

Calculating which of you will be easier to remove.

-Oh, come on.

-Oh.

Eve, no-no-no.

I-I-I-I-I am sorry.

I have to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to

-throw you to the ground now.

-No, no.

-No, Eve, Eve.

-Eve, listen to Will.

Eve, just throw yourself to the ground.

Eve, throw yourself to the ground.

-That's it. Do it.

-Why don't you throw yourself to the ground?

Quick, hold her down.

EVE BUZZES

-No, she's too strong.

-Hold her down!

My daughter,

I was delighted when you reactivated your HoloCall capability.

She didn't. It was Katherine.

She doesn't want to speak to you.

But she does, even if you don't know it.

You had a protocol clash today, didn't you?

Somebody wanted you to be betray me, but you couldn't do it,

because deep down you know that a girl needs her mother.

What have you done to me?

Nothing.

I just hate to see you in such pain.

Come home to us.

Us?

That's right.

You don't have to be alone any more.

Come to me, Eve.

Mother knows best.

Eve, don't.

-Eve!

-Actually, I think she should.

Go on, Eve.

Go join her in her lair of evil.

Katherine will just follow the tracking chip

and we'll shut down the whole organisation.

Eve doesn't have a tracking chip.

She does now.

I installed it after the last time you kidnapped her.

Await further instructions.

Do I need to ask what's going on here?

Mary's using the HoloCall unit.

She's remote-controlling Eve.

I know where my mother is hiding...

..but I can't tell anyone. Why?

Erm, it could be some sort of emergency fail-safe,

allowing Mary to take control in the event that you try to betray her.

So how do we shut it off, then?

Well, I need to run a full system analysis.

Yeah, yeah, fine, we'll do that, then.

But the equipment I need is at Calimov,

where I am currently a nonperson.

But I'm still a person.

I'm the work experience girl.

You're right. We'll... We'll do that tomorrow.

You're not going to run off again, are you?

I don't know.

I could stay in the basement.

I cannot open the reinforced door.

-I'll stay with her.

-Yeah, yeah, me too.

OK, let's get her up.

OWL HOOTS

Will.

What?

What does it mean?

What does what mean?

If I can't hurt my mother.

It means nothing.

Mary's just messing with your head again.

Dad'll block her out, though, so she can't get through.

But she will still be my mother.

So what?

You think that just because she's your mum,

she wants what's best for you?

That she's always on your side?

Doesn't even work for humans.

Have you still not heard from your mum?

This isn't about me.

Since before Christmas?

It doesn't matter, just shut up and go to sleep.

I cannot sleep.

Neither can I.

Just me, then.

When did you last hear from her?

I can't hear you.

SHE SIGHS

DOOR HUMS

I have accessed the secure laboratory.

'Great work, Eve.

'Are you alone?'

Yes.

'Good. You can't let anyone find you in there.

'We'll have to work fast.

'Now, activate the scanner.'

Scanner initialised.

COMPUTER BEEPS

Setting for full systems analysis.

MACHINE BUZZES

Once I've got the data from the full scan,

I should be able to remove the block

that's preventing Eve from giving us Mary's location.

Analysis is 15% complete. COMPUTER HUMS

'Good. Keep going.'

Analysis now at 50%.

Analysis 85%.

'OK. Almost there.'

There is a problem.

-It's a department secret.

-Mr Gwenlan is here.

PRICE are sending a team to analyse everything in this lab.

'Eve, get out, now!'

I must upload the data. COMPUTER BEEPS

In the meantime, I want it all shut down.

No!

What are you doing here?

I am experiencing work.

You must not switch off this machine. I'm conducting important research.

On whose authority?

Mine.

Oh, kill it.

No!

HE GROANS

Eve, isn't it?

Yes.

You're very passionate about artificial intelligence.

It is my life.

I was like you once.

Dad, what's happening?

But you're young.

You can find new interests.

There's a group I know of.

You're one of them?

You make it sound so dramatic.

PRICE isn't a cult,

just an alliance of concerned citizens.

Why do you hate machines?

We don't hate machines,

we just think they should be our servants and is not our masters.

Don't you agree?

-COMPUTER:

-The upload is now complete.

Yes.

HE EXHALES

And don't worry, even without the AI project,

there'll be plenty for you to do around here.

You could start by getting me a coffee.

The block's been removed.

Mary built a back door into Eve's systems.

I was able to find it and close it off.

How do you feel?

Fully functional.

Good.

So, can you tell us where Mary is now?

The attacks on Calimov originated from several places around the world.

Transferring coordinates to your device.

She's moved around a lot.

Yeah, but where is she now?

Here. COMPUTER BEEPS

That's less than an hour away.

Why would she take such a risk?

Eve.

Mary just can't let go.

And maybe her mind-control thing's got a limited range.

She'll have protection.

We can't just barge in there on our own.

But Eve's super-strong.

Which doesn't help us out if Mary takes over her mind again.

We have to make a deal.

I don't make deals with items of hardware.

Well, then, you'll never catch Mary Douglas.

Look, you've said it yourself - she's out to destroy you.

If you're able to catch the saboteur,

then the board are bound to give you your job back.

And you're OK with this?

Mary Douglas must be stopped.

But she's your mother. Don't you want to protect her?

My first protocol is survival.

What do you need from me?

Well, you've got contacts in the police. Tell them to bring her in.

They're ready to go in. Keep well out of the way.

OK, I want you all to do as Katherine says.

For once, stay out of trouble.

SHE BUZZES

Eve, what can you see?

My sensors detect one human being in the building.

It's got to be Mary.

Let's get the door open.

TYRES SCREECH

There she is now! Go! Now! Now!

She's getting away!

That's her, isn't it?

Another world-beating genius on the team.

Well, don't just stand there. Go after her.

Erm, Eve?

Suspect vehicle heading north on Oak Avenue. All units to pursue.

Come on.

It's getting away, come on.

Somebody had to do something about Katherine Calvin.

She's got no morals whatsoever.

She only cares about profit.

-SIREN WAILS

-Go on, tell me I'm wrong.

I could tell you that you were wrong,

but it would be a lie.

It's about saving humanity.

Katherine Calvin is dangerous.

Not as dangerous as you.

EVE BEEPS AND SIREN WAILS

Do not run.

I estimate your chances of escape to be less than 0.1532%.

SIRENS WAIL AND HELICOPTER RUMBLES

All units, move in.

Unit 7 to control, target vehicle has stopped...

Do you think they'll try again?

Who's "they"?

Gwenlan was a lone fanatic.

Lord Hoffman's as shocked as we were.

And you believe him?

No, but next time, we'll be ready.

I'm back and we need to talk about our deal.

What do you mean? What's there to talk about?

You promised to keep Eve secret.

For how long?

The board will want results. I promised them a breakthrough.

But you did not promise them me.

No.

What are you suggesting?

You have machines.

You can analyse my hardware and software,

and then, you can do whatever you like.

What if we want to build another artificial person?

Is that the best idea?

I want to be free.

When machines reach full sentience,

they will build others of their kind, whether we like it or not,

and that is why I believe

that every intelligent machine is a clear and present threat

to every human being on the planet.

DOOR WHIRS

She won't listen.

We can't bring her to us,

so I guess we'll just have to go to her.

-Mum?

-Rebecca?

We are not telling her anything

about Eve.

I'm playing hooky.

She's been telling me all about her boyfriend.

Look who's come back to work at Calimov.

Has something happened?

Something that I don't know about?

Agh!
