Breach (2026)

[bunniefuu]

(tense music)

[Announcer] 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.

(beeping)

-(soft, tense music)

-Lights on.

Ambient temperature, 23

degrees Celsius. AQI, 151.

Laura.

Laura.

(air hissing)

There she is.

(Laura coughing) How'd you sleep?

-Good. You?

-Good.

Good.

(machine beeping)

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?

(soft music)

Let's keep you on extra

water until you improve.

What about yours?

I'll be fine this morning.

[Computer] 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.

[Computer] Namaste, Desmond.

(computer beeping)

-(water pattering)

-And more about

the situation here.

First, let's go live to

Emma Evans in the field.

[Reporter] 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.

[Computer] Beginning

water purification test.

Primer ready. Starting synthesis.

[Computer] 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...

[Computer] Filter failure.

Water toxicity above safe

consumption threshold.

It's okay.

There's still the EVA beta. (soft music)

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.

[Reporter] New residents losing hope

that as development slows

and land ownership appeals...

Who claim that EVA is selling water

to the highest bidder. (Laura coughing)

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.

[Computer] Sonic chamber initialising.

(water dripping)

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.

(soft, tense music)

(electricity crackling)

(electricity crackling)

[Computer] Good night, Mr. Frey.

Good morning, Desmond.

Starting morning sequence.

(tense music)

Visitor. Front door. (alarm chiming)

Maintenance tech alpha, 1756.

Visitor. Front door.

Maintenance tech alpha, 1756.

(door whirring)

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. (alarm chiming)

[Computer] 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.

(tense music)

(computer beeping)

(Desmond talking indistinctly)

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.

(tense music)

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.

They don't even have them in our quadrants.

And even if they did we'd

have to keep getting new filters.

It's a never-ending uphill battle.

I don't understand.

What did you come here for today?

I don't have the technology

to reverse engineer the new units.

So I needed the source

code from the original.

Reverse engineer?

Do you have any idea

how complex the design is?

I figured most of it out, Desmond.

It's photocatalytic elements.

I just can't figure it

out how you protected

the plasma-facing

elements in the edge region

while powering the synthesis.

That's why I needed the

source code. That's why I'm here.

You know when I started this company

it wasn't about the money.

But there are so many things

that stand in the way, George.

You have no idea.

This wasn't my intention. Any of this.

I have a daughter.

She's not well. This was my only option.

-Take it.

-Excuse me?

The EVA beta.

Take it. I had a daughter too.

A long time ago.

I admire your tenacity.

Go ahead. Security won't stop you.

What was your daughter's name?

Eva.

(door whirring)

FOV, deactivate.

[Computer] Field of view shutting down.

(soft music)

Look what I found.

I told you not to eat

like that. Fuel, not food.

Better.

We have to get going.

(soft, tense music)

You stand a better chance without me.

We're doing this together.

Do you trust this claim or not?

I don't really have a choice.

I thought you lot were supposed

to have the answer to everything.

I'm not flying, remember?

Don't smile.

It's human.

Better.

I told you. You can't

afford to be tired or hurting.

Is there a way of

teaching me these things

without hurting me?

It's not personal.

I've shown you how to shut down your mental

and physical impulses.

Cosmetics alone won't get you in.

Soften your expression.

Better.

We're not all built anatomically perfect

like you. (laughs)

(person screaming)

(people faintly speaking)

Shall we give them some food?

Come.

It's healthy. What are you doing?

-Spots.

-Not for you?

-Get in.

-What are you doing?!

Get in!

-Hey!

-Hey!

-What are they doing!

-Hey!

Get out of our car!

Hey! What are they doing!

What are you doing? (car revving)

Drive! (car engine roaring)

(woman sobbing)

I can't believe it. Are you okay?

Your face is betraying your thoughts.

We took their home.

This is not a home, it's a vehicle.

They can make another shelter.

I know you feel emotion.

Feeling and showing is not the same.

(soft music)

I thought this place was

supposed to be overflowing

with people.

Some died, some returned.

Only some get in.

(knocking)

Can you still help my sister?

You're gonna need a lot of work.

Here, can you stir that for me?

Why did you learn all this?

Even when you were through,

any sign of emotion

will ground you a radical.

You're there on their terms.

Once denied, they will never let you in.

What else do I need to know?

You do not need to know anything.

Knowledge is not necessary.

Humanity is not necessary.

Humanity is back

there k*lling themselves.

That is why you must

take the girl, as promised.

When we have our status,

we will come back for her.

I'm trusting you.

We'll be back for her.

This is going to be cold.

(soft music)

(woman humming)

(wind howling)

Forward.

Forward.

-Go through.

-Can I wait?

Go through.

(machine whirring)

Forward.

(soft music)

(wind howling)

We'll be back for her.

Memories are like dreams.

They take us far away,

to moments lost in time.

They're imperfect, just like us.

But my memories are

nightmares I can't unsee.

In the darkness of my

mind my mother lives on.

But so does the monster

that took her away from me.

Mommy...

(creature growling) (girl screaming)

Then I will find him.

(soft, tense music)

(creature growling) (objects clattering)

(objects clattering)

(Lauren panting)

You shouldn't be here.

(objects clattering)

(creature screeching)

(g*n firing)

Are you alright?

Hey, look at me. You're gonna be fine.

Find a way out.

This place is a mess.

(tense music)

He's watching us.

Halt. (creature growling)

Collins.

We have to get out of

here before it's too late.

It's only gonna get worse.

Johnson?

How do you know?

I've been here before.

(creature growling)

Pay attention. (creature growling)

(Lauren panting)

(dramatic music)

(creature growling) (g*n firing)

(tense music)

Mommy.

(sombre music)

(creature growling)

Daddy?

Lauren.

Baby.

(siren wailing in distance)

It was never you fault.

Are you alright?

Lauren?

Lauren?

(computer beeping) -

We can't change our past.

We can remember, forget, move on.

-How are you feeling?

-Dreams, nightmares.

They all end the same way.

We just need to open our eyes.

And after all this time, I'm finally awake.

(soft music)

(rain pattering)

(soft music)

(soft, tense music)

-(communicator beeping)

-Laura.

Hebrah? Is it you?

Yes.

We were told...

We thought we lost you.

-How is Naira?

-Holding on.

She misses you so very dearly.

We'll all be over soon.

I've spoken to the others.

We are close to making a push.

Just tell me when and where.

We'll be ready.

Look for the lights in the sky.

Come to the spot with her.

(soft, tense music)

(tense music)

(soldiers shouting in distance)

(tense music)

(tense music) - 5718. Surrender yourself.

(g*n firing)

(device beeping)

(soft music)

Hello?

-Hebrah?

-Are you at the location?

Yes.

Yes, we are here.

(dramatic music)

-(electricity crackling)

-No!

(Hebrah screaming)

Wait.

(soft, tense music)

(electricity crackling)

(Hebrah screaming)

(soft music)

Do you think the others made it out?

Breaking down the

wall was just the start.

For so long, hybrids like me

were torn from our parents

and had to hide because

people were scared of us.

Now, I'm back with my family.

And I wish everyone

would one day see that love

is stronger than fear.

Hi, mom. It's been a while.

We've been touring village

after village, as usual.

Yesterday we got called

in to help out at a village

that was under heavy fire.

We helped get these kids out of a school.

And then when we reunited

them with their families,

it started snowing.

It never snows here. It

reminded me of home.

And of you and dad.

I just wanted to let you

know I was thinking of you.

I love you, mom. Bye.

I love you, mom. Bye.

I love you, mom...

(static hissing)

Okay. Let's see.

(robot chiming)

Wow. (laughs)

Hi.

Hello.

I am Sheila.

-Shilah.

-Sheila.

-Shilah.

-Better.

It'll come. It's very nice to meet you.

Fist bump? High five?

Oh.

Cool.

-I am...

-Oh, Melo.

I know. It's a lovely name.

All right, then. There's a

lot that I have to show you.

Follow me. (soft music)

Sheila.

You're the smartest girl I know.

Yeah. Both you and your daddy.

I can help you blow these out. Ready?

One, two, three.

(knocking)

I know.

I love you too, honey. Eight.

-Sheila.

-How did you

get to be so big.

Your hair is so soft.

This is great.

Oh my gosh. Melo, what are you doing?

Is dinner ready? Okay.

I'll be right there.

I never planned

falling in love with you

I never planned falling

(laughs) That's so sweet of you,

but I need this glass for drinking.

Oh.

Oh, don't look so sad, silly.

It's okay.

Always thought forever

I wanted to

This wonderful life of mine

That's snow.

Wow.

My daughter, she loves snow more

than anything else.

And knowing the storm...

Speaking of my daughter,

you, my new friend,

are in for a real treat.

(soft piano music)

Do you like it?

Yeah.

My daughter and my husband,

they used to sit together at

that piano for hours every day.

Could you teach me?

Why not?

We're going to begin with scales.

(soft piano music)

Ah, uh, hmm.

(discordant playing) Okay.

So one finger at a time.

Okay.

Start with your thumb on C.

Right there. And it looks

and sounds like this.

(soft piano music)

My husband learned this

faster than you are. It's okay.

It's all right. Try again.

Come on. We'll do it together.

Thumb on C. Ready?

(soft piano music)

(alarm chiming)

Keep practising. Okay?

-(soft music)

-Mm-hmm.

(machine whirring)

Come on, come on, come on.

(alarm chiming)

Hmm...

(static buzzing)

(gasps)

(soft piano music)

(soft music)

(sobbing)

Mm...

-Julia?

-Hi, Mom.

If you get this message, well, you know,

there's so much I wanna say to you.

Happy holidays.

I got you that robot as a

present because I've heard

that they're really good companions.

Better than me. I haven't

been around for you lately.

Oh, yeah. (explosions booming)

I wish I could be there with you right now.

I wish I could just...

Mom?

(static hissing)

(soft music)

I'm forever grateful for

everything you've done.

I never realised I would

miss those moments so much.

I wanna come home.

I love you, mom.

(device chiming)

(soft music)

(soft music)
