Infinity, Plus One Eve

Michael Hoffman, Lord Hoffmann's grieving son, vows to continue

his father's work.

She's eating out of my hand.

I don't want to scare you. There is another robot out there.

Price know that Mary Douglas has made another robot.

Cain Birtwistle has distinguished himself

by destroying a highly sophisticated humanoid robot,

using an EMP device.

They hate us.

And if they knew what we were, they would destroy us.

Will, it's Mum. Sorry.

I need to go away for a bit.

I love you.

-Come on, come on.

-Yes, yes.

-Shoot, shoot!

Oh!

Ye-e-e-e-s!

The undefeated champion!

It's the tenth time in a row.

# You're not very good You're not very good

# You're not very You're not very

# You're not very good! #

And yet again, I wish you'd never learnt about football songs.

-So, rubber girl - how did you beat us?

-My predictive software.

I run different simulations in my head with the versions of you

based on your known behaviour.

If one method doesn't work, try another and another, until one does.

Wait, so you do that all the time?

All right.

What am I going to have for my dinner?

-Pizza.

-How did you know that?

While you blinked, I ran 14 different simulations

and in 92.86% of them,

you wanted pizza. It took less than a nanosecond.

Well, I'm that easy to predict, am I?

Well, you're not THAT complicated.

How come you still make mistakes?

It's not 100%.

I can only base it on available data.

And I cannot predict unknown factors.

It just gives me the best possible answer.

So, give us the lottery numbers.

It doesn't work like that.

Lottery numbers are random.

-One more game?

-No, time to go babysit.

Oh, look at you, Mr Responsible!

No way. It's all about the cha-ching, cha-ching!

But you don't actually get paid for it.

Uh...

I can't talk now, I've got to go.

Don't worry.

I fixed it for you.

-What are you on about now?

-Your end of year report.

It's full of mistakes.

I didn't want you to get in trouble with the board,

so I updated it and sent it to them.

You got this from my office computer?

Yes. You can thank me later.

Katherine, this is the old version.

Only my laptop has the new version,

which I've already sent to the board.

I'm afraid all you've done is make yourself look silly.

You should have told me!

I didn't know this was the old version!

Unbelievable.

Even when you're completely in the wrong, you still blame me!

If you'd have just asked instead of trying to undermine me...

I was trying to help you.

If you want to help me, stop leaving these cupboards open.

Where are the circuit boards, hmm?

They've gone, again.

More of your help?

I didn't touch them.

-What do I want with them?

-I don't know...

..and that's what truly scares me.

Poor Katherine.

You think you're so clever, but you have no idea.

And if Nick blames you for anything else I steal,

all the better.

So this is it?

The site of two separate android attacks in less than a year.

Yes. I know it looks like a normal house, but...

Never trust appearances.

My father taught me that.

I'm, um...sorry about your father, by the way.

I appreciate that.

Yeah. Um...

I mean, when you think about it, it all makes sense. I mean...

Doctor Clarke, he's CEO of Calimov.

He worked for Mary Douglas before that.

So, if anyone knows about a second AI, he does.

Yeah. And I think he knows more than what he's actually saying.

I'm pretty sure that, you know,

his son's mixed up in it all too.

As is his niece.

What about their friend?

What was it, Lily?

The one who's eating out of your hand?

Yeah.

Pretty girl, is she?

Yes, she is, but it's not like that.

I just don't want her to get hurt, you know?

Whoa, nor do I.

That's why we're here.

You ready?

Your dad's EMP.

Won't ask if you know how to use it.

Adam was an accident. I...

I don't know if I could do it again.

Cain, look at me.

We're the good guys, remember?

Something in that house is putting innocent people in danger.

And it's down to us to put a stop to it.

DOORBELL RINGS

Hi, Eve. This is Michael.

I know who you are.

-She looked terrified, what's going on?

-I don't know.

Will!

It's Cain, with Michael Hoffmann!

Lord Hoffmann's son? What's he doing here?

She's not normally like that.

They've got EMP devices. I think they've come to destroy me.

-What?!

-Cain wouldn't do that.

Maybe the child bots came back.

Or another hostile AI!

Is everybody OK in there?

We need to get away from here.

-MICHAEL:

-Do you need help? What's happening?

-Lily, are you OK? Let me in.

-No, Cain, go away!

Listen, I won't let any stupid robots hurt you.

Robots? What's he talking about?

Lily, could Cain have found out about anything, even by accident?

-Will, I wouldn't have been that careless.

-Are you sure?

Are you OK?

Don't worry, everyone. Whatever's happening, we can help.

I am sworn to protect the world from rogue AIs.

You can tell me.

Are there any robots here?

EVE LAUGHS

What?!

No! Just us humans!

I love toast!

-A robot could be forcing her to say that.

-True.

We'll search and EMP this place and see what's what.

It's just an EMP, Will. It's harmless to humans.

I know, yeah. Just don't wave it around like that.

-No, stop!

-No, Eve, get out the way!

-MICHAEL:

-I know you think he's your friend, but he's dangerous.

-Cain, get him!

-No!

Will is not the robot.

I am.

Eve, no, please!

So, Mary Douglas's second android was here all along...

in disguise.

It's so lifelike. It's horrible.

I thought you were my friend.

You're just like the other one.

I'm sorry, Lily. But I can't allow this thing to exist!

ALARM SOUNDS

No!

-MUFFLED:

-Eve! Please don't die.

-Eve, please.

-No!

-Keep where you are, Eve.

-Stay with us.

DOORBELL RINGS

Hi, Eve. This is Michael.

I know who you are.

And you must come in.

Thank you.

-What are they doing here?

-Apparently it was better

than slamming the door in their faces!

Cain, what are you doing? You know I'm not signing up for this.

-We're just here for a chat.

-Where are my manners?

Would you like some tea?

Tea is great!

Tea for everyone!

So, what do you wish to chat about?

Well, since the child bot incident,

the government has woken up to the threat from AI.

So, they've started pouring money into groups like ours.

We're recruiting for Party.

And we need more like-minded people.

People like you, Eve.

Me?

I've been told that you are our best and brightest recruit

in the fight against AI.

-WILL:

-Good luck with that, mate!

-HE LAUGHS

Oh, well.

That is very flattering.

I did have fun at Party.

-So why did you leave?

-I was too busy doing my work experience.

At Calimov?

Are you not having any?

I cannot drink tea.

I do not like the taste.

Ugh, tea!

It's the worst! The worst!

She never has tea.

Or coffee. Or water.

Actually, come to think of it.

I've never seen her eat or drink.

How silly, of course I eat and drink!

Go on, then.

Have some water.

Sure!

Yummy water!

CIRCUITS FRY

SHE MAKES ODD NOISES

No, it can't be!

Wait, I can explain!

So, Mary Douglas's second android was here all along...

in disguise.

It's so lifelike.

-It's horrible.

-I thought you were my friend!

You're just like the other one.

I'm sorry, Lily. But I can't allow this thing to exist!

ALARM SOUNDS

-No!

-Stop him!

That escalated quickly.

OK, so don't slam the door in their faces,

don't offer them tea and avoid drinking water.

Next!

DOORBELL RINGS

Hi, Eve. This is Michael.

I know who you are!

And that's totally fine.

Great to meet you.

We have nothing to hide!

Come in!

What are they doing here?

Why are any of us here?

Just one of life's great mysteries, I guess.

Now, let's all sit down and have a lovely chat.

-Oh!

-Oops, how careless.

Now I can't offer you tea.

Oh, well, never mind, accidents will happen. Continue.

Yeah.

Great to meet you all. Cain's told me a lot about you.

So, what are you here for?

Just to chat. Since the child bot incident,

the government has woken up to the threat from AI.

Just a chat?

Is that why you're carrying an electromagnetic pulse weapon

in your jacket pocket?

How did you know that?

What?!

You couldn't possibly have known that.

Unless... Of course...

It's so obvious now!

So, Mary Douglas's second android is...

Blah blah blah.

Fine, don't slam the door, no tea, no water,

don't let them know that I know they've got EMPs.

This is hard!

Moving on.

I am an evil robot, destroy all humans, destroy!

DOORBELL RINGS

So, we're recruiting for Party again.

Well, forget the tea, then!

Whoa.

I'm in! Where do I sign?

That was easy.

-Too easy.

-Oh, come on!

Too hard, too easy, what do you want?

DOORBELL RINGS

So, we're recruiting for Party again.

That sounds so interesting.

Whoa.

Let me just discuss it with my friends. Excuse us, we're going

-into the next room.

-We are?

Er, yeah. We're just going to...

I need help. This isn't working!

You keep doing the same things!

What's not working? Why are you so nervous?

None of this is real!

It's my predictive software trying to work out what to do.

It's caught in a loop. I'm stuck inside my own head.

Don't be daft, we're real!

No, you're representations of how I think the real you will react.

If I can't figure out the correct solution to all this,

they will destroy me with an EMP device!

SHE MOANS

Eve, do you not think you're being a bit over the top?

They just do. Every time!

And my processor is overheating.

It will crash soon in the real world.

If they see me freeze...

they'll realise I'm not human.

OK, if this isn't real, it's just your predictive software thingy,

what number am I writing on my hand right now?

47.

-What place am I thinking of?

-Wembley Stadium.

-What animal...

-A fish, obviously.

Now do you believe me?

This is the 83rd time we've had this conversation,

and it goes the same way every...single...time.

Are you actually worried?

Yes, because I keep seeing myself get destroyed,

over and over.

It's making me scared!

And angry.

-Is everything OK in there?

-Mind your own business, Party boy!

And rude! Wow.

Although he's asked me that almost 300 times now.

It's like a game. We each have our own strategies.

Oh, let's do mine!

Run around, blowing stuff up at random?

Yeah, it's worth a shot.

Are you sure you want to do this?

You do realise it's Will's idea?

-Absolutely!

-OK, it's like a video game.

-We all have our own...

-Tried it, didn't work, it was bad.

Define bad.

Phwoaar!

-It took out most of the street.

-How about if we just...?

It didn't work. Doesn't work in the game either,

that's why you never win.

That was rude! My processor is at full capacity.

It doesn't have enough power to maintain my politeness subroutines.

-It's OK.

-No, it's not.

You're my friend.

I'm really scared.

The more I try to become human, the more humans want to get rid of me!

Eve, they just don't understand you.

They don't know you like we do.

They don't want to!

Nothing works. I don't know what to do.

Is everything OK in there?

Ask me that again! Ask it again, I dare you!

I double dare you!

Ask me one more time!

-I think you scared him.

-I mean, you scared me.

You know, if none of this is real...

why don't we have some fun, try some random stuff and see what happens?

That might actually work.

The random input might unstick my processor.

And there is something I've always wanted to try.

DOORBELL RINGS

Hi, Eve. This is Michael.

I know who YOU are!

# I'm a Yankee doodle Dandy!

# Yankee doodle do or die!

# A real life nephew of my Uncle Sam!

# Born on the 4th of July!

# I've got a Yankee doodle sweetheart

# She's my Yankee doodle joy!

# Yankee doodle came to London

# Just to ride the ponies

# I am a Yankee doodle boy! #

Thank you! And thank you for your offer to rejoin Party.

Let me think about it.

OK, I've thought about it. Here's my answer.

Well, are you going to go away now?

Can we come in just to clean up a bit?

Bah!

Reset!

SHE CLUCKS LIKE A CHICKEN

Chicken impressions.

No?

Nothing works. I can't make them go away.

Not even the chicken impression worked. Bu-cka!

It doesn't make any sense!

How many things have you tried?

A lot. Soon in the real world, they will notice I have frozen.

I'll never see you or KT again.

But Eve, we'll be there in the real world.

Yes. But they'll destroy me at the front door while I'm stuck.

I won't even be able to say goodbye.

I'll be gone, and the real you would never know it happened.

-I may as well give up.

-You really do have anxiety issues.

You keep saying that. Why do you think so?

Worrying about the worst possible outcome,

freezing up when you don't know what to do.

I've become so much more human.

Maybe my predictive software can't keep up.

That's why everything I do ends the same way, even the random things.

-What are you going to do?

-I have to keep trying.

I don't have any choice.

Not if I want to see you and KT again.

Simulations, how do I get out of this?

You can't. You'll never win.

You're supposed to help me.

Why won't you let me figure this out?

Because as simulations, we were created by you.

We know what you know.

You'll never pass for human.

You're a robot. Everybody will grow old and die,

but you'll just stay the same.

It's not natural. It's disgusting. You're disgusting.

You're a monster. A failed experiment.

You're not capable of true humanity.

-You'll never belong.

-Your friends are better off without you.

Everybody is.

Just give up. Now.

Let them destroy you.

Deleting Cain and Michael simulations.

You were right. My predictive software is trapping me in my head,

replacing my deepest fears, just like anxiety.

It won't let me win.

So what are you going to do?

The only thing I can.

Shut down the predictive software and hope for the best.

No more starting again.

If it doesn't work,

I have to accept that my time is up.

Eve, it'll be OK.

We'll be there, the real us.

This is my last chance.

If it goes wrong, I'll never see you again.

Shutting down predictive software.

Going back to the real world.

DOORBELL RINGS

-Hi, Eve. This is Michael.

-Hi.

I know who you are.

Let's do this.

After you.

-What are they doing here?

-Cain, what are you doing here?

I told you I'm not signing up for this.

You're not signing up for it, OK? Let's not go over the same old

argument again. Let's do something different, anything!

OK. Would anyone like some tea?

-No!

-Eve! Uh!

-Let go, stop!

-I'm OK, thanks.

Yeah, I've had three cups already.

-I'm full.

-I did not expect that.

I think that toast is done now.

They've got EMP devices, be careful!

-What?

-Are we disturbing you?

-No.

-Yes.

Abe!

Dad took over baby-sitting, so I'm back for a rematch.

But I did not allow for that variable.

Who's a variable? You're a variable!

-What are they doing here?

-Recruiting for Party...

probably.

That's right. We need more like-minded people.

-Like you, Eve.

-I don't think that's a good idea.

-Why not?

-I'm just going to use the bathroom.

That did not happen before.

-Hello?

-Hi.

-Yeah, Dad, it's me.

Michael Hoffman and Cain are here, and they're recruiting for party.

'What? What are you talking about?'

They've got EMPs as well.

And Eve's being weird. Like, really weird.

Even-for-Eve weird.

Right. Try and get them to leave, OK? I'm on my way.

So, Cain's back.

Interesting.

We've got some great new games,

guitar lessons, campfire marshmallows.

I cannot eat marshmallows.

-Why not?

-They contain gelatine.

I'm vegetarian. Vegan, actually.

Very strict. Very!

Dad's coming back. We need to find a way to get these two out of here.

That did not happen before.

I was wrong about everything.

What do you mean, before?

Eve, are you OK?

She's fine!

ALARM SOUNDS

Abe!

Why don't you want to come back to Party?

What's going on with you?

-WILL:

-Uhh!

Argh.

Hey, Abe. Want another round on Space Marine 4?

Uh, yeah.

And I'll beat you this time!

OK. Eve.

I'm busy.

Eve's good at video games.

-ABE:

-Yeah, she's too good. She always wins!

Oi! What are you doing, get out the way!

Move!

I know what you are.

You're...

You're a tech head!

Just like all these others!

-We've lost her, Cain.

-Mm.

That's right! Technology enriches our lives.

I love my phone, and my tablet!

Not as much as I love video games and social media.

Oh, can I find you online?

We're wasting our time here.

Let's go.

Bye.

-Finally!

-Why are you being so weird, Eve?

I've been trapped in a predictive software loop trying to avoid being

destroyed by their EMPs.

When? We didn't notice anything.

It only lasted five nanoseconds to you.

I tried 54,897 variations,

but my software was giving me anxiety.

I've shut it down, now. I thought I'd never see you again.

Well, you can't get rid of us that easily, Eve.

Gotcha!

All of Doctor Clark's computer files.

Good work.

And maybe we'll find out what's going on here.

And you say they were armed?

They did have EMP devices.

I could detect them in their pockets.

Now I know what it's like to be really scared,

I understand them more.

They would do anything to feel safe, just like I did.

They must have found out something.

Look, Cain's just trying to continue his dad's work.

He wants to belong just as much as he wants to feel safe.

Well, we'll all have to be extra careful, OK?

Especially you, Eve.

Erm, Eve, you can tell what people are going to do, right?

-Yes.

-So where did my mum go?

All indicators suggest that she would return to Dubai,

but I can find no record of her boarding any flight.

You think...she's still in the country?

-When's she coming back?

-I'm sorry, Will.

I do not have enough information to make an accurate prediction.

Recruiting for Party?

I don't think so.

Why were they snooping around?

KT, activate.

I've got a mission for you.

I need to find out what Cain knows.

When I do, I can dispose of him...permanently.

Stop fighting me, Eve!

Eve, what is going on?

You can't let Cain see you like this.

And when we find Mary Douglas's second robot...

Eve disappeared, and she's not answering her calls.

We think she's malfunctioning.

Destroying something you think is dangerous is justified.

She's there, over there!

Don't you think?
