Fair Cop Eve

Right, we're in.

Hacking is extremely illegal

and something that PRICE would never condone.

What's that?

Mother!

Can you deliver?

-If you can.

-Then we have a deal.

Is it a hologram?

Something else.

I need to go.

Eternity wasn't the only secret project I worked on with Mary.

There was another. I think she's cracked it.

Project Sparrowhawk,

test phase 14.2.

The previous attempt at transference was successful

but unstable.

I have boosted the quark router.

This should optimise

the chances of a sustainable materialisation.

Ah! Too much!

-COMPUTER:

-'Teleportation test failed.'

Clearly a more radical redesign is needed.

In the meantime,

I shall have to rely on more conventional means of communication.

It's definitely Mary. She's up to something.

She's always up to something.

You're absolutely sure it just wasn't a hologram?

The light's all wrong.

So she was actually there, following us around?

I think so, but I need to run some more analysis.

-Cain said we should...

-Wait. What?

You spoke to Cain about this?

Will, Mary's planning something big.

We need all the help we can get.

Right.

Hi, Eve.

Oh, did you finish that research?

Yes.

I have watched Robo Death 5,

Android Annihilator,

Killer Cyborgs From Hell Space,

Murderbot Versus Death-O-Tron,

Violent Steel Psychoborg parts one, two, three and the prequel.

Er...

They... They sound educational.

If I'm to learn all about robot-human relations,

I need more data.

What were you talking to Lily about?

Erm, we were...

..just talking about

homework and other things,

which, I've decided, is not information I wish to communicate.

Are you trying to sound like me

or are you another robot impostor?

Ow! That hurt.

You are the real Will.

You make a distinctive sound when you're in pain.

Ow! Ow!

I do not make that noise.

Shall I replay the recording?

I've heard other puny humans do it.

"Puny humans"?

I've been expanding my vocabulary.

Those movies were very helpful.

SIREN

One police car.

Judging by the decreasing rate of the Doppler effect,

it's coming here.

Hold on.

It's at Lily's house.

Please, Mum, help.

Don't worry, love, we'll sort this.

-Listen, call as soon as you know anything, all right?

-Yeah.

What just happened?

It's Lily. She's been arrested.

For hacking.

It's ridiculous. She's not a hacker.

You don't like Lord Hoffman, do you, or his group, the PRICE?

No. They're a bunch of technophobes that belong in the 1970s.

Is that why you hacked into his computers

and downloaded top secret government files?

I didn't.

You hacked into Hoffman's personal computer

and, from there, gained access to business and government networks.

After planting viruses throughout the networks,

you downloaded confidential documents on his work

on the House of Lords National Security Committee.

-I didn't do any of that.

-It's your IP address. Why is that?

Don't know. I swear.

Sorry. What exactly does that mean?

And in plain English, please.

The illegal access to Lord Hoffman's files can be traced back

to her computer.

In your house.

Like tracing a phone call.

Well, you've traced it wrong, then.

You're a member of several hacking forums.

Are you denying that, too?

Come on, Lily. Just tell them it was all a mistake.

Just tell the truth.

Yeah, I'm a member, but I would...

How long has this been going on for?

Look, I didn't do this. The forums are just for fun, like puzzles.

Accessing security documents is a major offence,

even if you didn't read them or know what they were.

I don't think you know how serious this is.

Why are you walking in circles?

I have seen other human vermin do the same thing before.

I'm pacing.

It's what people do when they don't know what else to do.

Does it help?

Not really.

Lily's always been hacking for us and now she's been arrested.

But that was helping people.

They don't care why. It's still illegal.

What if it's our fault?

I'll check the police database.

Records of cyber crime are kept in a secure shielded police server

which I cannot access.

I need government or military clearance.

Calimov's got government contracts.

Oh, and break the law, just like that?

Even if I wanted to, Will, Eternity.2 is nearing completion,

so Katherine's sealed everything off.

Nothing gets in or out.

Plus, she's constantly hovering over me like a grumpy vulture.

Can we get back to work now?

If it's not too much trouble.

Yeah, I've got to go.

Lily's been arrested for, er, hacking.

Bit too clever for her own good, that one.

Can I speak to Calimov's lawyers? See if they can help.

Absolutely not.

I don't want to do anything that might antagonise PRICE.

Not until we've taken down Mary Douglas.

Until then, they have to believe that we're on their side.

PHONE RINGS

-Hello?

-'Dr Calvin, we need results now.'

I see.

Is the prototype ready?

Well, of course the prototype is ready.

Excellent. Is this afternoon a good time?

No.

This afternoon won't be a problem.

Glad to hear it.

See you then.

You told the Board the prototype was ready?

I had to tell them something.

I'm fighting for my job here, Nick.

Right, back to work.

And no more phone calls.

I'm blocking mobiles, now.

Just a quick consultation with the lawyer?

I'd love to help,

but you know what we grumpy old vultures are like.

Thanks for taking these.

I don't even know if she'll need them.

I just wish we could do more.

Which one of these do you think she'd want?

I mean, what is this anyway?

I mean, I don't even know if it's a top or a skirt.

-I don't know.

-It's a scarf.

She likes to wear it with this jacket.

I'm not sure what else we can do.

What would Death-O-Tron do?

I have an idea.

What?

Wait, Eve.

Eve, what are you doing?

No, Eve, don't go in there. Don't go...

Please, don't get arrested. Please, don't get arrested.

I didn't do this, I wouldn't.

So when we decrypt your laptop, we won't find anything illegal?

Nothing interesting at all?

Paperwork, eh?

MUFFLED CONVERSATION

Maybe I could reduce some of the charges, if you cooperate.

Eve.

-Please, let my friend go.

-Hey, you can't be in here.

Whatever you think she did, you're wrong.

-Isn't anyone watching the desk?

-I brought clothes.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

-Right, come on, get out of here.

-Don't worry, we're on the case.

All right, miss, come with me.

I mean, she's a really annoying sister, but she's MY

really annoying sister.

Yeah, I know. I miss her too, mate.

Hang on, shouldn't you be football coaching at PARTY?

PARTY? Please. They don't need me any more.

Given Lily's arrest, they think it creates a, "bad impression".

But Lily's innocent. They're not going to get away with this.

I'm taking them down. I'm taking them down to Abe Town.

Excuse me? You will do nothing of the sort, OK?

I don't want any trouble. No shenanigans.

No shenanigans? That's not how I roll.

Well, that's how I roll, OK?

I like rolling with the no shenanigans crew. Clear?

Hey. What did you do?

I took photos of the evidence against Lily.

The servers were hacked using a simple brute-force technique.

Lily's far too clever to use that on a nested server system.

She'd use the Anghelides Staggered Attack.

OK, I was with you till "I took photos."

-Does this mean somebody else did this?

-I don't know yet.

There's a lot of code to analyse.

I told you, mobiles are blocked.

Just wanted to find out if there was any news about Lily.

Tough. Get on with finding out what's wrong with this.

What are these encrypted subroutines?

Behaviour, standard movements. Some of the code is classified.

Well, I'd like to make sure you haven't built anything in

while I was away. We don't want a super-intelligent,

super-strong machine with YOUR ruthlessness.

I prefer to call it determination.

Mm-hm.

-What are you up to?

-Oh...

Look, I've warned you, no shenanigans.

I'm not. I wouldn't know what to do anyway.

The membership numbers are rocketing up.

Gosh, I don't believe it. These arrogant little liars.

Look at them, hiding behind a flashy dope website.

It's typical, isn't it?

Did you just say, "dope"?

Yeah, yeah. Dope means cool.

What? Dope, fly, on-fleek.

-Dad, please, stop. This is painful.

-What do you mean? What's painful?

Look, it's very uncool when parents say something like that.

-Now, that gives me an idea.

-Abe.

Oh, the dark side comes in many forms.

And I can take down this group with only six words.

PHONE RINGS

PHONE BUZZES

-Hello?

-It's Mary.

-Please, don't hang up.

-How did you get through?

It's about your friend Lily. She's been framed by Lord Hoffman.

I've got the proof. Turn off Eve's blocking device,

so we can talk. I promise not to take control.

Sure you won't. Just get lost.

I can't find any other programming fingerprints on the code.

I wish Lily was here. Was she OK?

See for yourself.

-We've got to do something.

-But we have tried everything.

There is nothing more we can do.

Why do you look guilty?

I don't.

My memory files contain records of the same look

on 17 other occasions when you were hiding something.

All right.

Mary wanted to talk.

My mother?

I don't want to talk to her.

I know, but she says PRICE framed Lily.

She reckons she's got proof. But it's probably rubbish.

But maybe it's a risk we should take...

for Lily.

Ready for final software checks for Project Eternity.2

Although, technically, it's not possible to have an

Eternity.2, eternity is infinite.

You can't physically...

Ready for final software checks.

Excellent.

Once the software is up and running, we can get ready to activate.

And here...we...go.

No.

This is all wrong.

I've spent months working on you. Don't make me get a hammer.

-We're doing everything right, but...

-But we're creating a form of life.

It's not an exact science.

Sometimes you need a magic leap of inspiration

and you can't plan for that.

And how does this help us?

We don't know what we don't know.

So, essentially...

I don't know.

SHE SIGHS

-Now, remember the conditions of her bail.

-Yes.

If you want to make things a bit easier on yourself, help us.

Tell us what you know.

Look, I told you, I don't know anything.

Well, I'll find out anyway, when we get into your laptop.

You think about that.

She's got a 6pm curfew every day, from now until the trial.

And she's not allowed to use smartphone or computers.

We won't keep her for too long.

I'll just go and dump my bag. I'll be down in a second.

Did you know this was coming?

And do you know what she's been doing online?

No, not really.

Yeah, well, neither did we.

Look, can you talk to her, OK? She will not listen to us.

Look, she needs to tell the police everything.

-Can you convince her?

-Yeah.

Yeah, I'll try.

Hey, it's the jailbird.

Got any prison tattoos?

Hilarious.

Are you OK?

Not really, bit scared.

Don't tell anyone I did that.

-I'll lose all my cool points.

-Same here.

-We think Lord Hoffman framed you.

-Well, Mary said so,

-but we don't know if it's true or not.

-Mary?

What's she got to do with this?

Somebody definitely framed you. I could tell from the code.

She says she can help if I turn off my blocking device to talk.

No, Eve, don't. It's too much of a risk.

But you're my friend. You're worth any risk.

Thanks.

What are you doing?

Pacing. Pathetic earthlings do it when they're worried.

It does not matter whether my mother is lying about Hoffman.

-Of course it does.

-No. If the police decrypt Lily's laptop,

they will find other things that she is guilty of.

They will find out about me.

My mother is the only person who can destroy that information.

But she might control you again. I'm not letting that happen.

Your blocking device stays on.

You could just call her.

That does make more sense.

I have remodelled the quark router.

Now ready for test phase 14.3.

Call incoming. Call incoming.

Why did you want to contact us?

Can't a mother talk to her only daughter once in a while?

I love you and I'm worried about you.

Yeah, whatever, Mary.

Why did you appear like a ghost in the old house?

A ghost? I have no idea what you're talking about.

You said you had proof that Hoffman framed Lily.

Yes, I've been watching them for some time.

The hack came from a server that Hoffman has access to.

If I show the police, they'll have to drop the charges.

Yeah, not when they break into my laptop.

I can destroy that easily.

If you want.

Why? Why would you help me?

Because you're a friend of Eve's. Helping you is helping Eve.

And we all want to stop PRICE.

Yeah, well, I'm not buying this. What's the catch? What do you want?

Project Eternity.2 is a weapon.

Katherine has written military code into the programming.

It could hurt a lot of people.

And cause a lot of anti-robot feeling.

None of us want that, I assume.

Save your breath, Mary, we're not stealing it for you.

I don't want you to steal it. You have to destroy it.

To protect humanity, to save Lily, and to protect Eve.

She is my daughter and my first priority.

Why don't you destroy it yourself?

I'd never get anywhere near Calimov. They'd have me arrested.

We have to work together.

Well, we didn't see that coming.

What do you think she's up to now?

Oh, this is so slow.

She's really locked this thing up tight.

She'd have quite a career in computer security,

if she wasn't in trouble.

Hold on. Look at this.

Tedaco?

The nuclear power plant. What have you been up to?

If Project Eternity.2 is a weapon, maybe we should destroy it.

Yeah, but then you'll be betraying your dad, destroying his work.

But what if he is building a weapon? He's betraying himself and us.

I think we should go check it out.

I can't ask you guys to do this. And I can't come with you.

You've been there for us so many times.

It's our turn now.

I don't care what happens, just as long as you're safe.

This time, we've got your back.

Lily two-mates, remember?

That's...that's them.

Logic dictates that they cannot stay in the lab indefinitely.

But we need to get in there now.

What would what's-his-face do, Death-O-Tron?

This.

Dr Calvin and Dr Clarke,

please report to main reception, urgently.

I need to see all the code.

It's classified.

-What's in there?

-Project Eternity.2. Why are we whispering?

Don't know. But it must be pretty horrible,

if it's hidden away like that.

I saw something like this in Murderbot Versus Death-O-Tron.

When the scientists revealed the creation,

it lasered them into a million tiny pieces.

Eve, that's not helping.

And after it lasered them, it set fire to the lab.

All right.

And then it lasered all their friends and their families,

and set their houses on fire and then...

Eve, OK. Lasers and fire, I get the general idea.

Eve, I don't need to hear about the rest of the movie, OK?

Thank you.

It's not the scariest death machine I've ever seen,

to be honest.

-So can I have my room back now?

-Yeah, sorry,

-I was just reading the news.

-You, reading the news?

Yeah, a local branch of PARTY is being disbanded.

-Hundreds of membership cancellations.

-What have you done?

Nothing bad. I just e-mailed the headmaster and told him,

"Please support this popular youth group." Six words.

Then he told all the teachers to stand up in assembly

and say, "PARTY is really cool."

If there's one thing worse than parents saying something's cool,

it's teachers saying something's cool.

They are finished.

Honest Abe, that's something I never thought I'd see.

I'm a man of many hidden depths.

So where's Eve and Will?

They've made a deal with Mary to get the charges against me dropped.

She says Hoffman framed me.

-He didn't frame you. He couldn't have.

-What do you mean?

Well, the security files taken from Lord Hoffman's computer

were all over the internet.

He's in trouble with the actual Government.

Why stitch himself up that much just to get you?

I mean, I love you, sis, but you're not that important.

Fair point.

He wouldn't, but Mary would.

She set this whole thing up to get us.

Call Will.

Hidden subroutines. I can't decrypt them.

They could be anything.

Well, you don't put in secret encrypted stuff

if it's going to be playing with kittens.

Why make it look like a kid?

What better disguise for a weapon?

Maybe Mary wasn't lying.

But why is Dad a part of this? He doesn't want to make a weapon.

The code is encrypted.

It looks like Katherine hid it from him.

So as usual, she's up to no good.

We have to destroy it. For Lily.

Stopping Katherine is a bonus.

Strange, my arm won't pull the plug.

Am I malfunctioning?

It's not a malfunction.

It's just difficult, when you have mixed feelings.

Let me.

Now you're malfunctioning, too.

Yeah. Sorry, Dad.

Will!

I'm OK.

It's gone.

You were supposed to destroy her, not get her working.

Where are you going?

To protect Eve. She could be next on the thief's list.

KT, stop!

SHE SCREAMS

It's another protocol clash. Will, run. Now!

Will? Will, what's happening?
