Le prime 200 righe.
Clean water and breathable air,
the promise of which is a fundamental human right.
EVA Solutions has been keeping that promise alive
for over a decade since founder Desmond Frey's unveiling
of the very first EVA prototype to the EVA units used today.
A drop of hope in a world of desperation. EVA.
Lights on.
Ambient temperature, 23 degrees Celsius. AQI, 151.
Laura.
Laura.
There she is.
How'd you sleep?
-Good. You? -Good.
Good.
Gotta stay inside today. Index is 150.
Dad, please.
Air quality index over 125, I gotta ground you.
You know that.
Am I getting worse?
No.
No, it's just precautionary. Hey, chin up.
We could work on one of our projects today.
You got the part?
Not exactly, but there has been a plan
that's been put into motion.
I think I found a way into his compound.
Just need a little time.
These guys think they own everything. The air, the water.
What's next?
Let's keep you on extra water until you improve.
What about yours?
I'll be fine this morning.
Inhale.
Exhale. Warrior two.
Inhale. Hold.
Exhale. Lower down.
Inhale. Pull through.
Press back. Down dog.
Inhale. Rise.
Exhale. Fold.
Step right foot forward.
Inhale.
Rise. Warrior two.
Find focus.
End sequence.
Namaste, Desmond.
And more about
the situation here.
First, let's go live to Emma Evans in the field.
Hi, Genevieve.
I'm here on location in downtown Los Angeles
where protesters are angry about the failed vote
to... Hey.
It's a little too early for that, don't you think?
We're supposed to be saving water, remember?
Okay.
This is filter compound test number 107.
Beginning water purification test.
Primer ready. Starting synthesis.
Toxicity level dropping.
Toxins parts per million?
20,000 and dropping.
Energy's neutralising.
Keep an eye on radiation levels before the PPM drops.
Let me know when.
Now.
PPM at 10,000...
Filter failure.
Water toxicity above safe consumption threshold.
It's okay.
There's still the EVA beta.
The FOV was on the fritz, so I had to reset it.
Seems like it's working now.
No substitute for the whole thing, I guess, though, huh?
I'll put in a service request.
So, you meeting with the board today?
Board?
You mean the guys who I made rich over the last 10 years
and now they want to push me out of my own company?
No matter what, you know I support you, right?
You've worked so hard to build all of this.
You did that, for us.
And it's great and I love it, but we don't need any of this.
I'm good either way.
I know.
Okay, well, anyways,
I'm gonna head out for a bit, so I'll see you later, yeah?
-Yeah. See you later. -Good.
Why don't you come with me?
You know, get out of this fortress.
The real world does still exist.
Maybe next time, okay?
The position isn't so cut and dry.
However, Mr. Frey is a visionary, a genius, if you will.
But to fix these issues takes strategy,
rationing, implementing laws, and so on.
Shareholders are getting weary of the constant bad news.
That's not good for EVA or anyone else.
New residents losing hope
that as development slows and land ownership appeals...
Who claim that EVA is selling water
to the highest bidder.
You okay?
If you're thirsty, we could get some water
from rations, just for today.
No thanks, Dad. I'll be fine for today.
I have their best interests at-
Clean water is a basic human right.
Would you plan to make this available to everyone?
I'm gonna go take a shower.
Why don't you get ready for bed?
It's a simple question.
Mr. Frank? I mean, ballpark.
Sonic chamber initialising.
Breaking news.
In a sudden move, EVA Solutions founder and CEO,
Desmond Frey, met with board members today
and announced intentions to leave the company
and relinquish his controlling shares to the next owner.
-No... -Emma.
Genevieve, while this is a new development,
the questions and concerns regarding the source code
for the EVA-
-Dad? -Technology remain.
What is known
is that Mr. Frey will be leaving EVA Solutions.
Many expect shareholder fallout from creating room
for the new leadership to craft a future...
Good night, Angel, I love you.
Good night, Mr. Frey.
Good morning, Desmond. Starting morning sequence.
Visitor. Front door.
Maintenance tech alpha, 1756.
Visitor. Front door.
Maintenance tech alpha, 1756.
He's here to fix the FOV.
I never sent a request.
Oh, it was an automatic request.
Well, you got it?
I'll be upstairs.
I'm alpha one... No.
Alpha 1756, I'm sorry.
That was rude.
I'm Desmond.
No problem. I'm George.
Incoming call. Urgent.
George, I have to take this.
Can you find your way there?
The panel is over there by the FOV.
-Incoming call. Urgent. -Yes, sir.
You all done?
Uh, yeah.
Let's grab a drink.
Oh, I don't drink.
I insist.
You like the view? I had other options, you know.
Martian colonies, the floating cities in the clean zone.
But I chose this place.
I guess something about it reminds me of the part
of my life that once was.
Of course it all looks different now.
Of course.
You wanna know how I got to where I am?
It was George, right? Know how I got where I am, George?
Eight years ago, I designed the first EVA device.
The EVA beta.
It was the first working prototype that would lead us
to the EVA pure units today.
I keep it here where I can see it every day to remind me.
You have any idea what it takes to start a company?
The magnitude of sacrifice?
It's amazing.
You should be very proud. Thanks for the water.
But I really should be going. But yeah, it's...
Beautiful?
Yes, it is. This construction is impeccable.
Honestly, the design is flawless.
It's a wonderfully tooled replica.
It's incredible, but something like this just
has a soul that can't be replicated.
I knew the second I saw it. Security is already on its way.
I'm assuming mine's in the bag there.
Why don't we go ahead and put that back where it belongs?
Though I got to ask you,
why steal something that only has meaning to me?
You have no idea what this represents. The work.
The ingenuity it took to create.
You see, that's the difference between you and me.
That's why I am where I am.
No.
No?
This is the difference between you and I.
For you it's all about money and profit. But to us?
It's about life and death. And sacrifice?
You can talk to me about sacrifice?
Have you ever had to ration your water?
Water that if you drank it would just make you sick?
You'd die from dehydration if you didn't?
Yeah, if we had one of your EV units we'd be fine.
But no one can afford it.
