- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

All children under the age of 18 years

should report to their local sector for transportation.

- [Mom] You have to go.

- But what about you and dad?

- It's too late for us, Trudy.

You have to accept that.

Save yourself, for your mother's sake.

And mine.

- No. (sobs)

- [Dad Voiceover] Save yourself.

- [Trudy Voiceover] No!

- Hey.

What is it?

- I had the dream again.

Mom, Dad, they were there.

Here in the house, like it was yesterday.

- Priority will be given to those children

exposed to adults already contaminated.

- I didn't wanna go.

I didn't wanna leave them,

but there was nothing I could do.

- Trudy, there was nothing anybody could do.

Come on, we'd better go.

The Roosters are moving in.

You're not safe here.

- We're not safe anywhere.

- In sector 10, we may have a chance, Trudy.

I heard there were only strays and nomads.

We've gotta get through.

- I don't wanna go back there. Locos!

- We've gotta at least try.

There isn't much time.

(cow moos)

(fire crackles)

(wind blows)

(solemn music)

(siren blares)

(cat meows)

- They're getting closer. What do we do?

- We can't outrun them.

We just have to get out of sight.

(birds chirp)

(Roosters laughing)

- Come on, hurry up.

(siren blares)

- Come on, Dal, through here.

- What are the gangs doing here?

- Sunday afternoon drive? - Is it Sunday?

- Who knows. Get down!

- Can't have been chasing us after all.

- Unless they're toying with us.

Locos do that, they love to catch you off guard.

- Where is he? Lex? Maybe we got it wrong.

Are you sure this is the meeting place?

Or maybe we got the wrong time.

These guys don't wear watches, you know.

- Quiet. I'm thinking.

- Yeah Zandra, let the man think.

If he can't think, he can't come up

with one of his brilliant plans.

- I don't like it here out in the open.

Anything could happen. - Shut up, the both of you.

Zoot will keep his word. - Where is he then,

legendary leader of the Locos?

- You heard the siren. - Siren?

That could've been anyone. It could've been

the Demon Dogs, this is their patch, or the Roosters,

any of the gangs, this sector's a war zone.

- The whole city is a war zone, in case you hadn't noticed.

- Porky, eat up. Then we'll barbecue you.

- Yeah, he's got more meat on you. (laughs)

- You want more? Good. - Tasty, tasty.

- If we could steal their wheels,

we'd be out of the city in an hour.

- Forget it, they've got lookouts everywhere.

We wouldn't get more than a couple--

Dal, look. They're sure to pick her up.

What's she doing out there on her own?

- She's a stray.

- Are we talking about the girl or the cat?

- You know the rule, Amber. Look after number one.

- Yeah well there's always an exception to the rule.

Here. Come here, come on. Hurry up, come on.

- Here--

(cat screeches)

- It's not far now. Come on, if we keep going,

we could take shelter in the city by nightfall.

(seagulls call)

- They're coming.

- What's the matter, Glen? Ain't getting scared, are you?

- I wanna know what you've agreed with Zoot.

- What do you mean? - Don't be stupid, Zandra.

You really think we're gonna be allowed

to join the Locos just like that?

Now I'll tell you what's gonna happen.

Old Lex here, he'll be in the tribe, you can bet your life.

The rest of us might not be so lucky.

- Anyone who doesn't like the plan can leave. Now.

- How far would I get before I was hunted down

by the Locos, along with you and stupid here?

(body slams) (grunts)

- Stop it! Ryan, do something!

- They're here.

- I thought you said they'd be alone.

- Welcoming committee?

- They don't look very welcoming to me.

- I'll do the talking. - So it's made.

Not getting scared, are you, Lex?

- Zoot! I was starting to think you weren't coming.

Guess timekeeping is not your thing, eh?

Yeah, me neither. Time's dead. It's the old way.

We're making the rules now, right?

- What's in the bag?

- Glad you asked for it. Glad you asked.

Walkie talkies, CD players, batteries, you name it.

- Food?

- We've only got enough for us.

- Give it to me.

Why do you wanna be a Locust?

- You guys are the best outfit around.

You're kattered. You're really...

- What? Really what?

- You're scandalous.

- We're what? (Locos laugh)

- Damn it, we're gonna run.

(Locos shout)

- It's all right, we're not gonna hurt you.

What's your name?

I'm Amber and this is Dal. We're friends.

Do you have anyone? Any family, brother and sisters?

- She doesn't understand. Let's just go.

- She needs help. - We all need help.

That's the way things are.

I'm sorry, Amber, but we decided that

we were gonna leave the city by nightfall.

Nothing was gonna change that, you said it.

How are we gonna do that with this thing tagging along?

- I bet I know his name. Teddy, right?

And what about you? - Cloe.

- What are you doing out here, Cloe?

- Playing. - Can we play?

- If you like, but there's no room on the swings.

Patsy and Paul are hogging them.

There's a slide, you could play on that.

- Yeah. Yeah, maybe I will.

You'll have to go without me. I can't leave her, Dal.

- That's okay. We've come this far together.

(Locos shout)

- Lex, what are you doing?

- Just another one of my brilliant plans! Good luck, friend.

- Where's Glen? - They've got him.

There's nothing we can do.

Zandra, we have to save ourselves.

Glen would've wanted us to.

- You really think it's gonna be

that different in the countryside?

- Can't be any worse, can it?

- Fewer places to hide.

- They'll be no one to hide from.

Look, all I wanna do is find a little place

of my own which I can call home.

A little piece of land where I can grow my own food.

Not scratching leftovers like some animal.

- It's a nice dream.

- It's more than a dream. Amber, look around you.

There's no future here. The tribes have got the city.

Let then live on tinned food.

- And what happens when the tinned food runs out?

Do you think they're gonna leave

you alone on your country estate?

- I don't believe this, you've changed your mind.

You're not coming with me.

- No, Dal, I haven't changed my mind.

It's just that--I don't know, it feels like running away.

I know there's nothing we can do.

We can't stop the tribes taking over.

I just hate to see them get away with it.

This is where I grew up. It's where you grew up, Dal.

You might be able to walk away, but I can't.

It's not that simple.

Wait, where's Cloe? Oh no, we've lost her already.

- No, we haven't. Look!

- Good boy. Bring it here.

Ready, Teddy? Whee!

Did you like that? Come on, let's do it again.

Good boy. Good boy.

(engine clicks)

- Did you see that guy? What was his problem?

Those tribe leaders, they get too much power.

I'll show him. I'll get even with him, that's a promise.

(sighs) - What's the matter with you?

- Don't touch me. - For the last time, Zan,

I'm sorry about Glen. It couldn't be helped.

You had a thing about the guy, is that it?

- No! - Then stop your sniveling.

He wanted to be a Locust, now he's got his wish.

You know what I think? I think he sacrificed himself

deliberately to save us. It had to be if you think about it.

(sobs) - Lex.

- What are you looking at?

Is this thing gonna start or what?

- It's out of gas. I did find something, though. Gum.

- Let's get out of here.

- Whee!

- Who are you with? What tribe?

- We're not with any tribe.

We found Cloe a couple of streets away.

You obviously know her. I'm Amber, by the way.

This is Dal. - Salene.

- Did you know Cloe wandered off?

- I can't stop her. What difference does it make?

We can't run anymore.

(dog barks)

I wanna give us up, then I found this place.

I thought they could have a play.

One more time before... - I'll scout around.

See if I can find some shelter for tonight.

- Okay. I'll share the food out.

- Yeah, you'd better, friend. You just better.

See? I own this city now. And you're trespassing.

I'll tell you what, I'm feeling generous today.

Why don't you just give me the bag

and I'll say no more about it?

Oh, and don't try running. You might get away.

But they won't. - Who are you?

I don't recognize your tribe.

- Don't tell me you've never heard of us.

What? - Locos!

(Locos yell)

- Get them!

- He's gonna hurt you!

- Demon Dogs!

(synth pop music)

(gang members shout)

- I wonder where this carpark leads to.

- Must be a shopping mall or something.

There should be a way our over here.

- I hope you're right.

- Come on.

- I hope it's safe.

- Come on, let's check it out.

- Mm, maybe there's some food here.

- I'll go have a look around.

Looks like the place has been looted, but you never know.

- Dal. Be careful.

- Come on. In here.

What's up there? - Nothing.

- We better get back to sector 12

while it's still light. Come on.

(junk clatters)

- So you're Patsy and your name is?

- Paul. - And who's this?

- Bob. (Bob grumbles)

- Did you have any luck? - No.

- Well.

- We don't have much, so we have to share.

- This is Patsy and Paul. Patsy does all the talking,

I think her brother's a bit shy.

- He's not shy. - I don't think that true.

- Doesn't seem to have any trouble talking.

- When he feels like it. - Oh, I see.

Do you lip read, Paul?

- He says he prefers to sign.

(soft footsteps approach)

- What does that mean?

- It means we're in trouble.

- Now, where was I before I was so rudely interrupted?

(machinery clanks)

(gates slam shut)

How the hell did you do that?

We'll find another way in.

You're not getting away that easy.

- Looks like you're the one not getting away.

- What do you want with us?

We've got no argument with the Locusts.

- These aren't Locusts. If they were,

they would've done the job right.

- Open it up. Open it up now or you'll regret it.

I'm gonna count to ten. One, two, three...

- Four, five, six...

seven, eight, nine, ten.

So what happens now? I think you'll find

that was a fairly empty threat.

You didn't quite think it through, did you?

Not to worry. Hi, I'm Jake.

And I think you've got something to say to me?

- Like what? - Well then,

my idea was thanks, but times are changing.

- Thanks. - Don't mention it.

These gates can only be lifted with a special wrench.

I'll lift the far one when you guys

have had a chance to cool off.

Come on, I'll show you around.

- Hey! Where are you going?

- Stay here and don't move. You're safe here.

- But what about you?

- Well, I'll scout the area and see what I can find.

- Why are you doing this? - Doing what?

- Helping us. You could be Demon Dogs for all you know.

- You guys? - Maybe not.

All the same, you didn't have to

let us in here. - Hey!

- It's simple, love. I've been living out of

a crate of tinned beans for the last six weeks and

even that's running low.

- Well we haven't got much food either.

- But you can help me find some.

That's the least you could do after I

helped you with your little problem back there.

- Look, thanks for your help, but we have to move on.

First thing in the morning. Right, Amber?

- You'll see yourself. You won't find

a better place to crash than this.

- It's so big and empty.

- I'm tired. - Me too.

- It's getting dark. What are we gonna do about sleeping?

- I've got a blanket, the younger ones can have that.

The rest of us will just have to make do.

- Sounds good but I can go one better.

- Look! Beds! - Hey!

(children laugh)

- What do you think?

- It's like heaven.

- Clean sheets. Real feather pillows.

- Of course, I sleep in the electrical shop

so I can protect the place. - Hey! Open this gate.

- What are we gonna do about those three locked in a cage?

- Forget it. It's what you do with animals. Lock 'em up.

- Hey, look at this couch. You're wasting your time.

They're not gonna let us out.

Save your strength.

- This place aint so bad.

We've slept in worse places, Lex.

- Who asked you? Give me that.

- What's wrong?

- She can't find her Teddy.

- I wanna go home. (cries)

- I know. It's all right.

This is your home. For now, at least.

- Come on, Lex. There's nothing you can do.

- All right. Sounds like the Locos. What would that mean?

- You'll see. (sirens wail)

I'm warning you!
