Original subtitles

Lex, you still haven't told us where you've been all this time.

Where haven't I been?

There are parts of the city I never knew existed, and other parts I'd never want

to go to again.

But you must have stayed somewhere.

Most of the time, I was staying at a place called Liberty.

The place of the Sloan, where you found me and Gal.

The very same.

So what's this Liberty place all about?

Well, as I said, it's full of nutters.

One of them goes by the name of...

Ram.

You're kidding.

Nope.

Ram is alive and kicking.

Literally.

He's walking.

He won't be walking or breathing for much longer if I have a say in it. All

right. All right.

Nobody's saying Ram is Mr. Nice Guy, but he didn't do everything we thought he

did. Not with Mega on the scene.

Anything interesting?

Just some idiot playing the Joker.

Must be a really bad joke.

Very bad taste.

Yeah. You never believe who I bumped into on the way over here?

Oh, let me guess. A ten -foot -tall alien, and you karate -chopped him back

his own planet.

Pretty close.

Jay. Jay?

Is he all right?

Well, for someone who's escaping from Mega's madhouse, yeah, he looked pretty

good. He's on his way. Is he happening?

Yeah, we know.

Yeah, well, I told him where to find her.

Still. Ebony. Good luck to him.

Lex, did he say anything? Did he leave any sort of message for me?

Don't think so. Please, this is really important.

Why are you getting so worked up over there?

I thought Jay had the hots for Amber.

Trudy.

Nice one, Lex.

Ebony! Hey.

Look at them.

A bunch of suckers falling for Lex's new scam.

Well, Lex away.

I'm in charge, so I guess you could say it's my new scam.

Bravo.

I remember those casino movies from before the virus.

You had to be up on the game.

Deal with all the card sharks and gangsters.

Fascinating.

Of course, the casino always had a glamorous chick around.

A hot babe like yourself.

Excuse me?

What do you say, Evan?

You and me?

Time for Zoot and his bride to get back together.

Are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?

Absolutely.

Oh.

Hi.

Who do you think I am, darling?

Huh? You think I got kicked out of being made a fool?

You're hurting me.

That's the idea.

I ought to kill you for pretending to be so... I'm just not sure you're worth

the effort.

How much of what Lex says do you think is actually true?

I'm sure there's some truth in there somewhere, but it's probably buried

deep. What are you talking about?

It's all true.

His legs.

He does gorgeous romantic things.

Right. And you believe he took on all four of Mega's gods single -handedly?

You're just... jealous, Sammy, because Lex is a real man.

Someone's got it pretty bad.

What was that?

Nothing.

Hi, everybody.

Celine! Oh, it's so good to have you back.

I didn't realize how much I miss this place.

Well, we missed you, too.

So what happened? Is Mouth okay?

Yeah, no, she's fine.

She got accepted into the Ecos.

She wanted me to stay, but I thought I'd be better off here.

Oh, Sal, your hand.

Oh, it's okay now. I ran into a bit of trouble in the city.

I fell ill, and at one point, I didn't think I was going to make it.

You poor thing.

I wouldn't be here if not for somebody.

They helped me when I needed it the most.

Well, who was it? You should have brought them.

I have.

Come on. Don't be afraid.

Her?

Detrida?

What do you think they're talking about?

Well, I'd say she just complimented Jack when I was here.

And now she's building up to ask him out on a date.

How should I know?

What the heck do I do now?

Jack. Look, Ellie, this is serious.

Look, just tell us what's going on. What'd she say? Okay, Megan wants to

at the hotel.

Told you it was a date.

What? Ignore him.

Look, guys, what if this is a trap I'm done for?

Get a grip, Jack. This is exactly what we wanted.

Megan's gonna let you in.

Yeah, but... No buts, Jack. The lady's right.

Sounds like you're Omega's machine.

Let me be the first one to congratulate you. Look, Liz, we don't even know what

he wants. Who cares? You're in.

Why not take him to the box shop?

Birthday?

Celine, the tribe reached a decision. May is out. And that's written in stone

forever? We make a decision once and we can't even talk about it now? She

betrayed us!

Everything we did, Mega, was two steps ahead.

Yeah, she did try to. Okay, can we talk about this calmly, please?

Selene, it's okay.

Look, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for May.

She saved my life. Doesn't that count for anything?

Of course it does.

Anyway, who are you to say who's okay?

What about your sitting at broadcast?

You don't know the full story. A nice little puppet for Mega.

I didn't even see his lips move. Just yours. Don't you talk about what you

know. Because what?

If you want to talk, let's talk.

But not here.

No offense.

Hey, Daryl. What's up?

Nothing much.

Okay. Except discovering that I'm the world's ultimate loser, that's all.

Not exactly having a good day, then.

I always screw up everything.

Try and be somebody.

There's no getting around it. I'm a zero.

We'll have this for an idea.

You're not going to change the past however much you milk.

Question is, what are you going to do today?

Thanks for sticking up for me.

After all you've done for me, I'd be a real scumbag if I didn't.

Even so, I don't think this is going to work.

How do you mean?

They've got no reason to take me back. I did betray them. Everybody makes

mistakes, May. You don't have to go on paying for them for the rest of your

life.

I've got too much of a past here.

Maybe I should just go.

You're not going anywhere.

I'll stand by you, whatever happens.

So, like what you see?

You need to ask?

Great minds can achieve great things, Jack.

I'll tell you, a bit of hickory stuff I've been using.

Yeah, but you get a lot done with limited resources, which is what I

about you.

You got all the important hardware up here.

Yeah, not everybody sees it that way.

Exactly my point.

What would happen if you'd been at a slightly different place when the virus

broke out?

How do you mean?

Well, your whole future could have changed. You could have become part of a

tribe where your skills would put you near the top.

Yeah, I guess.

I mean, talent can only shine where it's recognized.

True. But in some places, talent gets rewarded.

Like here, for instance.

No, this is where the action is.

How'd you like to work for me, Jack?

Hi.

Hey.

I'm looking for a girl called Ebony.

You look like the sort of techno geek who works for Mega.

As if.

Afraid not, pal.

Why are you looking for Ebony?

I think that's between me and her, don't you?

Oh, snotty, huh?

Hey, you wouldn't happen to be Jay, would you?

I've heard a lot about you.

Good.

Great.

So what are we going to stay here gossiping?

You know, I'm not sure Ebony would be interested in anything you have to

Ebony's a big girl.

I think she can decide that for herself.

Friendly word of advice, pal.

This ain't techno land or the mall.

Just be careful whose toes you step on.

Fine.

It's really good to have you back, Celine.

I know, it's really good to be home.

Look, I'm sorry we had to get into a fight before.

So does this mean that Macon's there?

That's sitting at broadcast.

I haven't sold out to Magar. I just didn't have any other choice at the

You could have refused.

We're going along with Mega for the time being. He's too strong.

We're going to take him down from the inside.

Then why the big secrecy? Why couldn't you say this before?

I don't want May to know any of our plans.

She may have helped you, but I just don't trust her.

No one's asking you to be her best friend, Amber.

So, how's it going with Mega?

He's a monster.

On the outside, he's so calm and reasonable, but...

What did he do?

He threatened Bray.

I had to do the broadcast alone. He threatened my baby.

Meg is really good at getting people to do what he wants.

Yeah.

Blackmail threats the works.

Well, then, don't you think he might have used the same tactics on May as

He's asleep.

Best leave him alone.

I live.

It's a bad dream.

Got caught by a whole pile of zoot chickens.

And it got a bit better.

Sammy, what did you blow on my ear for?

I didn't.

That was me.

Oh. I came to invite you round to my place.

I'm cooking my special lasagna.

Fine. So you'll come?

Yeah. Why not?

Excellent.

Thanks a lot, Lech.

Not like I'm dealing with your girl, kid. I just said I'd eat her food.

I think she's got a lot more than that in mind.

She's cooking for the whole tribe.

That's what she meant, didn't she? Nope.

This isn't a date.

Mm -hmm.

Ah, heck.

Hey, don't I know you?

I doubt it.

I tend to hang out with my own species.

No, I know you.

You're Ebony.

Yeah, it's Ebony.

You're the one that carved up the city.

You and your zoot tribe.

We've been through hell, and it's all because of you.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Because if you had half a brain, you wouldn't get in my way.

He's got amazing hardware. Like, enough technology for, like, a space shuttle.

What? Okay, so this guy has all the best toys. What did he say to you?

Easy, Ellie.

You're the man from space.

Could be a major player we're talking to.

What's the story, Jack?

I'm in. I'm totally on the inside.

The guys offered me a job.

And if I don't mind saying so myself, you want to see me tonight?

For dinner.

Nice one. Now we're getting somewhere.

Talking of which, there's a piece of software in there I'd like to grab.

What sort of software?

It's for a physical project.

The Resistance.

The Resistance?

Let's just say the Morats aren't alone.

What? I suppose I could. What's going on, Lex? You're not usually out to save

the world. You're the guy who's usually out for what he can get.

Oh, thanks.

As if I didn't almost get lynched by Megan, now I have to listen to this.

exactly does the software do?

If I get it, we can... No. Sorry, Lex. It's too soon.

We've only just got in there. It's too big a risk.

You're on.

I just want to get moving.

You've got to start being polite, Ebony.

Nobody tells me what to do. Right.

I say we teach her a lesson. You can teach me anything.

You've had that coming for a long time. If you had half a brain, you'd know that

Mega was behind everything in the city. Don't make us laugh.

You and Zoot did all the damage.

Mega created Zoot.

He set the whole thing up. Zoot is a fake.

Yeah, right.

Let's finish her.

But the first one to touch me better say goodbye to that.

Ha! Call on Zoot to save you. Power and chaos!

Ebony speaks the truth.

She was deceived.

There is no Zoot.

Zoot's dead.

Mega used me as a double to trick Ebony. He manipulated her, me, and all of us.

Amber?

Oh, it's you.

I've been thinking, and, um, I've decided I'll go if you want me to.

Let me get this straight.

You're willing to go now?

I don't want to, but I can't blame you for saying that I should go.

Mega had me wrapped around his little finger.

It was so scary.

I guess it's no excuse, really, is it? So, um... I'll go, if you want me to.

I know how manipulative Mega can be.

Let's just see how things go, okay?

No more. Again, again.

Don't you feel dizzy?

No, I do. Again. Tell you what.

Ha! That's my baby.

What's up, Ram?

New electric toothbrush?

I have just created a totally original component.

Ha! Still got my touch.

Big deal.

Don't underestimate, Siva. Little components make great things.

There's somebody new in town.

Rat!

Whoa. Easy, Jay. Old score to settle.

Never thought I'd see you here.

Yeah, well, I don't exactly advertise.

Celebrity. Can be such a drag.

Was it fun?

Deleting bed?

Oh, number one, Jay, I didn't have that pleasure.

Number two, frankly, it was a bit of a jerk.

You're history!

Jay, no!

Somebody help us.

Mega fixed everything.

He deleted them.

Ram didn't do it.

Okay. Okay.

They really wanted my blood.

Yep. This ain't gonna work.

How can I lead a rebellion when half the kids think I'm public enemy number one?

Search me.

Bride of Zoot.

Mega really had it sussed when he set me up.

Listen.

What you did for me back there was really amazing.

Thanks. I owe you.

It's nothing.

You're welcome.

You know, for a moment there, I really thought it was Zoot. Even though I knew

it was you.

I guess.

Mega had me trained pretty well.

Yeah, too well.

We should go this way.

It's much safer.

I don't think Lex is a romantic dinner type girl.

Yeah? And what would you know about romance?

Wow.

This looks great.

You've really gone to a lot of trouble.

It's no trouble when it's for the right person.

Right.

Well, it seems a shame for only two people to enjoy it. So, Sammy, why don't

join us?

He's got stuff to do tonight.

Haven't you, Sammy?

Oh, yeah.

That's right.

I have.

Sit down, Lex.

I've been looking forward to tonight.

Yeah.

Me too.

So, how did you get here?

Lex showed me the way.

Lex? Yeah, I saw him on the street on my way out.

What kind of place is this, Eva?

It's strange.

Almost everyone who wants to get out of the city ends up here.

Including my little sister.

Hmm.

How is Ebony?

So, what do you plan to do, Jay?

You're not exactly her favorite person.

Yeah, I know.

The path is done.

I mean, what's important is that we overthrow Mega, with Ebony's help.

Easily said.

How do you think she'll react to me?

I'm not sure.

Tread carefully with her.

She's been through a lot.

You know, Lex, I think you're one of the most handsomest men in the city.

Enough of you to say so, girl.

You're not so bad yourself.

A toast.

To Lex.

To gal.

Hey. Oops.

Silly.

You know what?

I really like this wine.

I really, really do.

Want to hear something amazing?

I've never really drunk wine before.

You don't say.

Never.

Makes me feel a bit... Look, if you want to go

to bed... Uh, uh, naughty, naughty.

I've heard all about you.

Oh?

And what have you heard?

You're a very bad boy.

But I don't think it's true.

You're very nice.

It's been lovely sitting here.

Sailing.

Lovely.

Thank you for a wonderful evening.

So what makes you stick around here, Slade? I mean, one place must be just as

good as any other.

I recall you asked me that a while back.

Did I? And what did you say then?

Well, same as I'm saying now.

There ain't nothing happening anywhere else that ain't happening here.

What kind of answer is that?

That's the only one you're gonna get.

Another?

Well, this is right in the same place since, um, you showed up.

Well, I hope you're not blaming me for that.

Not directly.

Things just seem to happen around you.

Guess it's just the way it is.

We're closed.

Oh.

What the hell?

I can't believe it. Where'd you guys get that stuff?

Well, expertise has its rewards, Jack.

Let me tell you about the program I want you to head up.

Yeah, sure, what do you have in mind?

You know, even in a well -ordered society, you can't discount human

Not everyone's as clear -headed as us.

No, I guess not. People need an outlet to release all their pent -up instincts.

And why not kill two birds with one stone?

And what two birds would they be?

Well, at the same time as letting them discharge their emotions, we can deal

with the troublemakers.

Right, so where do I come in?

I want you to devise an electrical correction system one that's got enough

showbiz to please the masses and severe enough to do away with any opposition.

Sounds good to you?

You're going to be my chief punisher.
