Original subtitles

He's out there somewhere.

He got through the checkpoint. Now he's outside the safe zone, probably looking

for Ebony.

If those two team up, they could be a threat to us.

Ebony's enough of a threat without Jay.

But don't worry, they won't get together. They hate each other.

That's right, that's right. I was forgetting.

Emotional entanglement.

There are compensations to falling in love, you know.

I guess you don't know.

Your hit of security.

and two dangerous rebels have escaped. Of course, it's your fault.

Everything is your fault.

Oh, they've even got you sweeping up now.

I have to in my keep, don't I?

Still, kind of a fall from grace.

One minute you're the queen of the technos and the next you're... I could

the same about you.

Listen, Ebony.

If it's a choice between worshipping a non -existent God and sweeping a real

floor, I choose the floor.

So, are you going to stay?

If they'll have me.

You know, it's good to see you.

Andrew, I'm glad you got out in one piece.

You know me. I'm a survivor.

Yeah.

What happened? What are you doing here?

Staying out of sight.

Amber,

you're up.

What time is it?

Um, I don't know.

Early.

You okay?

Yeah, just...

Couldn't sleep.

Too much going on in my head.

What were you thinking about, Bray?

Yeah, well, I guess you're pretty worried about Jay, too.

It's not that, Trudy.

Then what?

City net.

Oh, of course. You have to do your broadcast today.

It's one thing being paraded around like a prize trophy.

City president.

But now I've got to go into a speech about what a great guy Mega is.

Amber?

You're pretending. That's all. That's just it.

My whole life is a pretense now.

What if... What?

What if I wake up one morning and I start to believe my own lies about Mega,

safe zone?

I mean, look at us, Trudy.

We're like royalty with full bellies for once.

Trudy, what if we're selling out and we don't even realize it?

You were married at 8 .30 and you said you were home.

Good morning.

Oh, is that for me?

Thanks.

Got you a drink.

Oh, water.

What did you think I meant? Coconut milk.

No. Water's great, thanks.

How's your hand?

It doesn't hurt as much. I think that medicine really helped. Oh, good.

Hey, listen, you can't stay here.

You've got to go back to the mall where they can look after you properly.

Well, what about you? Well, I can take you to the checkpoint.

It's about all I can do.

I'm not leaving you on your own out here.

Celine, even if I could get back into the safe zone, I'm not welcome at the

mall. They kicked me out, remember?

But you helped them.

You set a trap for Mega. I betrayed them.

They're not going to forget that in a hurry.

Okay, but you helped me.

And that counts for something.

You're a mall rat, May.

You belong with us, and I am not going back without you.

I didn't see where they went.

Which room, I mean. But he was following her around all night.

You should watch his back.

That's all I can say.

You think?

They're together?

Are you kidding?

He fell in love with her poster before he even met the woman. He's crazy for

her. Right.

But... They're definitely an item.

Why?

Look, Daryl, don't even think about it. No, no.

No, I'm not. You play with fire, you'll get burnt, kid. You know what I mean?

Of course.

Yeah, I mean...

He'd kill me if I took his woman off him, right?

Ruby, what's for breakfast?

Bite me, Lex.

That isn't often.

Better maybe later.

Good little errand to run.

Tell me, Lex, are you ready to rumble? As ready as I'll ever be.

And the software, you sure that's what we need?

Oh, yeah.

How are you going to get past Mega's security?

I'm working on it.

Hey, Lex.

Going somewhere?

Yeah. We need more supplies.

Catch up with you later.

You've got him well trained?

He thinks he's getting stuff for the virtual casino.

What do you think his chances are of getting out of there in one piece?

Lex is capable of anything.

Especially when he thinks there's a profit to be made.

If only he knew.

Morning, Ruby.

The coolest thing about Megan? What?

The way he totally blitzed Ram. I mean, Ram never knew what hit him. He played

him at his own game.

Yeah, I guess that was pretty cool.

I mean, you have to hand it to the guy. You know, stamping barcodes on everyone

else so he can keep track of us all.

That's awesome.

Yeah, that's pretty awesome.

Jack... But the coolest thing of all... Jack, this isn't working.

Why? What's wrong? Well, for a start, I have barely any lines, and when I do

speak, all I do is agree with you. You know, that's a contradiction.

What? Well, first you said you had no lines. I mean, you said that... Don't

think we should be arguing?

Megan knows I hate him. I wouldn't be agreeing with you. I'd probably say

something like... Wait, go from your line. Go from there.

Ram never knew what hit him. What are you saying? You like the guy?

He's a jerk, a creep, a slimeball.

And the way he just stands there and stares at you.

Talk about cold fish. The guy's dead from the toes up.

Okay, you're not really going to say that, are you? Because that'll get us

arrested. I'm just trying to be honest.

Well, that's what I'm afraid of.

Trini, can you have a seat here? I mean, I... I want to get Megan to think I

believe in him.

Megan's a smart guy. If he thinks you're reading something out, the game's up.

She's right.

But we have to know what to say.

Just be yourself, Jack.

You certainly had me fooled.

Ray, it's time for your nap.

I can't say this, Megan.

Why? What's wrong with it?

All this stuff about how safe the city is and how we're all happy and working

together. No one's going to buy that. Not even from me.

But it's true. That we're all happy? Get real.

Maybe not everyone, but a lot of kids are.

We're changing the city for the better. They know that.

Let me ask you.

What would happen if another tribe were to invade now?

Wouldn't you be glad of the barriers then?

What if the Chosen were to come back?

Talk all you want about your big achievements.

I don't believe in forcing anything on people.

Not even security.

Happiness. You say they're happy. I don't see it. Because you don't want to

it.

Okay, I'll make you a deal. You can write your own speech.

You mean that?

Why not?

You're our president, after all. I wouldn't interfere.

What's the catch?

No catch.

You do what you want.

But remember one thing, Amber. The kids out there are depending on you. They

need something to believe in, some good news for once.

And as a mother, I'm sure you understand the need to ensure the children's

future.

Don't let them down.

Got any strong liquor?

Just what you see here, Java.

A few beers.

You're lying.

Put it on the counter now.

That's better.

Now open it.

I'm thirsty.

No sign of Jay anywhere.

Wait for me outside.

Go on, get lost.

But won't he have left the city by now?

I don't care where Jay is.

I gave you an order now. Which part of get lost are you having trouble with?

Do you expect me to drink from the bottle?

So you don't have to risk this. You're not barred.

You can walk into the city anytime you want. I told you, we're sticking

together, okay?

What is this place? Music, perhaps?

Sort of.

May, I don't get it. Why are we in Sector 5? The mall's that way.

This building is right on the city boundary.

The place is a basement, which is a secret tunnel that goes under the wire.

This house is different.

They let kids in and out with no barcode.

For a price.

How do you know all this stuff?

To pick things up.

Are you going to be loose?

Me neither.

Well, how are we going to get in there?

Lex? Jay?

What are you doing here?

It's a long story.

How about you?

I thought you were dead.

Yeah.

Sorry to disappoint.

Here. Thanks.

You, uh, heading to the mall?

I guess.

Look, you'll never get into the city.

I've got the whole place sealed off like a fortress.

I'll take my own chances.

Where are you headed?

Uh, well, I was going to go and hook up with Ebony, but it seems she's gone to

ground. You sure you don't want to hook back up with her?

Not like that, Lex.

Well, it's good we bumped into each other. I just left her. She's at

Liberty?

Right, you told me about that before.

Whereabouts is that from here?

About an hour's walk.

That -a -way.

Think I might go and check it out.

Anyway, I'd better get going.

You don't want to be seen with a wanted man.

Take care, Lex.

You too.

Hey, Jack.

I should probably warn you.

Liberty's full of some...

Pretty disparate folks right now.

I should fit right in.

I really thought I'd stay here, you know?

You guys got something new.

Make a home for yourself.

But sooner or later, it always catches up with you. What does?

The madness. All these crazies moving in.

That loot trash.

You mean Ebony.

Well, they worship her. I mean, they're bound to follow her, aren't they?

I don't think you like my sister very much.

Look, it's not that I meant that. It's okay.

She's done a lot of bad stuff.

That's funny. My jewelry.

What's it doing down here?

Hey, hey.

It wasn't me.

I was playing hide and seek.

Honest, Eva.

Lottie, stick to thieving because lying is not your game.

Lottie, wait!

Those kids are right.

She's trouble.

We can't kick her out of town, Ruby.

Why not?

Look, this is my stuff, so it's my call, isn't it?

I don't understand.

Why are you sticking up for her?

She reminds me of someone.

I looked after Ebony when we were kids.

I tried to.

She was always in trouble.

But it wasn't her fault. Well, not really.

The virus made her that way.

Underneath, she was a sweet kid.

I wanted to help her, but I was only a kid myself.

So what happened?

We fell in with the bad crowd, and that was that.

I thought I'd let her down, though.

It's too late now.

But maybe there's a chance for Lottie.

Lottie. Is that your name? What?

No, it's Blake.

That's not what it did here.

Ah, uh, Lottie's my nickname.

That's what some of my friends call me.

I've got a pretty thick sense of humor.

Thanks, Ryan.

I need you to give me your blessing.

I know that you'll always be there for me.

I don't know how I'd know.

My one true love, my wife.

If only I had known that the others would betray me.

If only I had known that you would be the one who would truly love

me all along.

You ever been in love?

I guess so.

If you have to get, then you haven't.

I was in love once.

He left me.

Not what you think.

It wasn't for another woman.

He left me for cyberspace.

I'm a paradise widow.

But I got my revenge.

I got him back. Don't you worry about that.

So how come I feel so bad?

Because you still love him?

I guess.

Who asked you?

We can't wait any longer.

What are you going to do?

When in doubt, turn on the charm.

Hey, you open for business?

Not for you.

Go on.

New lip.

Oh, get out of here.

No, come on. Just a little peek inside. Come on, please.

That's too bad.

For you.

Charm is for losers.

Come on.

Something eating your girlfriend's plate?

Which one? There are so many.

Don't try and be cute. It doesn't suit you. It's done pretty well for me up to

now.

Ebony isn't my girl. She's just a friend.

Yeah, if you say so.

If you could cheer her up, she looks pretty down.

Why don't you?

You're the hostess.

She probably had a bad night, that's all.

Is that what you call it?

What? Not that I care either way.

But you don't have to lie about it, Slade.

I'm a big girl. I can take it.

I saw her, Slade.

Leave your room this morning?

So don't try and tell me you're not an item.

I should have known better than to try and fool you, Ruby.

You're right.

Ebony slept in my room.

But not with me.

I was in the barn.

Felt like a log.

It's so quiet.

Kind of creepy.

Wow, they've really tidied up this place. I hardly recognize it.

Yeah, Megan's big on tidying up in front of my mom.

Look, Cal, I really don't know about this. Maybe I should go back.

To what?

Back outside the zone amongst the crazies?

I told you, Mae, the mall is your home.

And anyone who says otherwise will have to deal with me.

Besides, I don't think that guy back there would be too happy to see you

Phoebe. Hi, Ebony.

Something wrong?

Well, not exactly.

Can I come in?

So, how do you like Liberty?

Fine.

Except nobody wants me around.

So what else is new?

Why did you come?

To recruit more rebels?

We have to find a way to beat Mega.

No, I thought I could take him on.

But all I did was make him stronger.

At least you tried.

I was wrong.

Siva, I've been wrong about a lot of things.

Like you.

You tried to warn me about Mega.

You tried to protect me.

And I didn't listen.

I... I came to say that.

I'm sorry.

I was never any good at it.

You're doing fine.

For the first time since the virus, the city is a place of safety.

No one can get in or out without having to identify themselves.

With the work program bringing us better food and more electricity, we can be

proud of what we've achieved.

I'm not saying there aren't any problems, but we have, at least, the

better future.

Thanks to Mega.

So let's take that chance.

This is Amber, your president.

Thank you for your time.

I need a drink. I need a bucket.

It's a trick.

Virtual reality or something.

That wasn't Amber. Please tell me that wasn't Amber.

You did well. I'm grateful, Amber.

Anytime.

How do you think it went?

Oh, fine.

I enjoyed selling my principal. Certainly everything I've ever worked

You gave the kids out there a sense of hope for the future. Is that such a bad

thing?

I don't know anymore.

Well, I do.

I'm glad I gave you the speech to write.

It was very moving.

Can I owe now?

How could you be so two -faced?

She's acting, Sammy. She doesn't mean it.

You sure about that?

She sounded pretty convincing.

Get real, girl.

Ellie. Well, I just don't understand you. Do you even know what side you're

I think I should be asking Amber that question.

I thought what she said made a lot of sense.

The city is much safer.

You can't deny that.

Trudy?

Sammy, don't listen to her.

I think Amber's changed her mind.

Good on her. That's what I say.

It's not worth it, Ellie. Come on. Now it's our turn.

Java. Go away.

There's a message for you.

What is it?

Who sent it?

Some kid.

What kid?

Bring him to me.

Coolest thing about Mega.

What? The way he totally blitzed Ran.

I mean, he played him in his own game. Ran never knew what hit him.

You know, sometimes I wonder about you, Jack. It's almost like you admire the

little creep.

Oh, no, no way, no.

Look, I hate him just as much as you do. It's just... I don't know, I can see

that he's not all bad.

He's done some good things, too.

Well, where is he?

He got away.

Well, what did he look like?

Just a kid.

I'm sorry, Java.

Forget it.

He was just the messenger.

Graham is alive.

I'm dancing.
