Original subtitles

I don't want any part of it. We've got to go through with it. No way.

Look, you heard what she said. That chick is trouble.

If we let her go, she'll track us down and waste us.

I'm willing to take the chance.

No more deleting. You want to do it, do it on your own.

That's... Chicken!

She kind of got out on her own.

Somebody must have helped her.

The question is... Who?

Welcome home.

Our old school.

Our new HQ.

I don't get it.

What do you need for defendable headquarters, big sister?

Doors, locks, knowledge.

Right now, I'd say Mega is going to launch one of the biggest girl hunts

city has ever seen.

Come on, we know this place like the back of our hands.

No one could surprise us.

Well, anyone got any better suggestions?

All right.

Back to school, girls.

Okay, let's go.

Where to?

Ram's gone.

Time to shut shop and cut our losses.

And waste me.

Unless you promise not to tell anybody it was us.

I wouldn't. I wouldn't tell anyone.

You must think I'm really stupid.

Please. Please, you can't do this.

Let me go!

Look,

you can do this the easy way or the hard way.

I think you need to line up.

You know one of my favorite things, Mal?

Hot buttered toast.

And that is why I've made some bread. We like waffles.

We've got a waffle maker.

Can we have waffles, Trudy?

This morning, you guys can have anything you like.

Bacon and chewy, sunny side up. Thank you very much.

Oh, golly, I should go home more often.

Definitely. I found them in a weird little shantytown a few miles up north.

Save their skins, as usual.

Athletic, modern, as usual.

Jack, this is wonderful.

Mouse, can you watch the toast? I have to go tell everyone.

Well, of course I don't think she'd be that happy.

What do you know?

What are you doing in here?

We live here.

Not anymore, you don't.

Beat it!

I'm going to count to three.

One!

Needs a little TLC.

I still don't get it. I mean, it's a big place to defend.

I know lots of places that would be better. No!

We stay here.

But why?

Why here?

Because this is where it begins.

This is where it all began.

Where I first saw him.

Who? Saw who?

Power and power!

Loot.

I found her in the city after she got separated from her tribe.

Well, you're most welcome here, gal.

I never dreamed I'd get to meet the Mallrats.

I've heard all about you. You're like royalty.

Well, hardly.

You are. There are all sorts of stories about you.

How you beat the Chosen and the Locos, and one of you wiped out Zoot.

Yeah, that was me.

Really?

Where's Ebony?

I don't know.

When did you last see her?

Yesterday sometime.

What is it?

Jarvis escaped.

Oh, no.

Someone's helped her.

Where's Siva?

I don't know. I haven't been in town.

She wasn't there when I went to tell everyone about Jack.

Her bed hadn't been slept in.

Oh, no, they couldn't have.

What, you mean teamed up?

No, that doesn't bear thinking about.

What's with all the glum faces?

Hey!

Oh!

This is wonderful!

This is so wonderful!

First Jack, and now you?

We have to celebrate.

We should have a party.

It's all making sense now.

Ebony's stirring up all the Zoot stuff, making us think she's crazy.

And all the while, she's planning to spring her sister.

I could really get out of control now.

With Zoot and Paradise, we could lose this city completely.

Well, we've got the strike first.

How?

We've got the power back.

We've still got CityNet. We could do a broadcast.

I suppose the whole thing for the con trick it is.

Great. It might work.

Well, at least it'll make people think twice.

It's a start.

Good. Can you get something to get there, Amber? A speech?

Me? You're the obvious choice.

Meg is right, Amber. It has to be you.

God, I thought I'd never feel clean again.

Sorry, am I interrupting something?

Oh, no, Sal, it's fine.

Did you want something?

Yeah, my man, Pride.

Look, I'm sure he'll turn up. We'll get word out that you're safe.

Thanks.

Hey, I was thinking, if Jack's back, maybe Bray will be back soon, too. Then

we'll really have something to celebrate.

What?

Sal, they took some of the prisoners away in a plane.

He might have a long way to travel.

Oh, right.

Well, I hope Pride gets back before the party.

I'm going to dance that man to death.

He's still here.

We've got work to do.

Don't worry.

You won't say that if Mega comes sniffing around.

We need to defend the place.

There's an old alarm system we could rig up.

Don't worry about it.

It's all in hand.

How?

Zoot will protect us.

Zoot?

This is where I first saw him.

This was his desk.

So what do we do when Mega arrives?

All climb into it and hide?

Siva. Siva.

You just don't understand, do you?

How could you? You're a born follower, not a leader.

Have you seen him again?

Yes.

He was here.

Zoot's dead.

See, Java?

A born follower.

Did he say anything?

Yes.

Oh, yes.

Hey, cut this out, you two. This is scary.

What did he say?

He asked me to be his bride.

What?

Java, what's going on?

And he wants Siva to be my bridesmaid.

Ebony?

Sorry, I know it's over between you guys, but... That's not what I'm worried

about.

If it's true that Ebony and her sisters have joined together... Maybe they've

left the city. I mean, even Ebony must have given up by now.

You know better than I do.

You've been through a lot with her.

Do you really think that she'll walk away?

Run?

No.

Neither do I.

So it's like Amber said.

It's like starting all over again.

Time three.

Well, maybe Amber's broadcast will win over the city. She's brilliant at that.

She's just brilliant, period.

So are you.

That dinner... That was really kind of you.

Well, I'm a really kind person.

I was in a ways.

Truly, that was a long time ago.

We've all made a mistake.

Yeah, and I suppose we'll make some again.

I guess.

Sometimes... Sometimes you know you're going to do something that you shouldn't

do.

Something that's really wrong, that's going to hurt people close to you.

But you just can't help it.

A little too much wine last night.

Yeah, I think we both did.

Thank you for listening and the advice.

Hey, I enjoyed it, and I'd like to help.

I really care for you both.

Amber's very lucky to have you as a friend.

She'll come round.

She just needs time.

We'll see.

Thanks.

I don't understand. This is crazy. Java, crazy.

Siva, Ebony did see Zoot.

Yeah, in her head. She must have been messing with that Paradise program.

I can give you flashbacks, but it's not real.

It's real to Ebony. That's what matters.

What are you thinking of, Java?

Telling her you saw Zoot as well?

What are you doing?

Encouraging her?

What are we doing here, Siva?

We're barricading the school.

I mean, why aren't we 50 miles from here?

Where? Anywhere. Get a grip, Siva. I thought it was supposed to be Ebony

crazy. We're setting up an HQ.

For what?

To take control of the sector, I suppose.

Not just the sector. We don't need Zoot for that.

Need Zoot?

Think about it, Siva.

You heard of the Chosen?

The Guardian took the city apart in the name of Zoot.

If he hadn't lost that big style, he'd still be in control.

Zuta's still the most powerful guy the city has ever seen.

He's like a god, feared and worshipped.

And today, our little sister's going to marry him.

Hey, there you are.

I thought we'd last you now.

I just needed a quiet place to gather my thoughts.

This speech, well, I guess it's the most important one I've ever had to make.

You'll be great.

So, party time.

Mouth is so excited, she's rushing about like a mad thing.

How about you?

The older I get, the harder it is to get excited about anything.

We have to have a bit of fun, too, you know. Let her hair down occasionally.

Yeah, you're right.

So, are you looking forward to seeing Jay?

Jay?

Well, Ebony's out of the picture now, and he said it was over anyway, even

before she split.

Oh, yeah, that's right. You had dinner with him last night. How'd it go?

He talked about you the whole time.

Oh?

So, with Ebony gone, there's nothing to keep you guys apart.

Look, even if I did feel that way about him, there'd always be Bray between us.

Amber, Bray's gone.

And Jay didn't know that would happen.

I just... I can't feel anything for him.

Not with what happened to Bray.

What would I tell our son?

Amber, Jay isn't at fault.

Yeah, right.

But would Bray understand?

Your feelings for Jay? Oh, Trudy, I don't know what I feel.

All I know is that Jay and I... It'll never happen.

Sorry, Trudy. I've really got to get on with the speech.

Oh, yeah, sure. I should go and help with the party anyway.

Hey, thanks for being there for me.

Most of our surveillance cameras were trashed by the mobs. It's going to be

to find anybody, especially Ebony.

You sure she's still out there?

She's got some scars to settle.

She's out there.

Foot patrol's our only option, and that's dangerous.

Not half as dangerous as not finding her.

I got a lot of faith in Amber.

I mean, you might always see eye to eye, but you can certainly deliver.

This broadcast will be a turning point.

I hope so.

Thanks. For what?

For dreaming up the idea.

Goes with the territory.

I don't know everything, you know.

I haven't been in Mario very long.

We used to talk about them all the time.

Jack was with Ellie.

You know that?

Yeah. She's nice.

Kind of moody, though.

Yeah, I heard.

I hope she comes back. Jack would like that.

I'm not sure they're right for each other.

What do you mean?

You don't know them.

I know Jack.

I slept in a hay barn with him, didn't I?

You did?

No, not like that.

I just think he needs someone who's fun, not too intense.

What do you mean? Like you?

Give me a break.

He's cute, but he's way too young for me.

Hey, girls. You seen J .R .R.? Yeah, he went to the hotel to see Baker.

Thanks.

Now, Lex.

He's another story.

Oh, really?

Liberty. You know it. Heard of it.

Pretty violent.

A no -go area.

What, even for the technos?

No, well, there was nothing for us.

No point in having a fight unless there's something at the end of it.

Listen, you didn't hear anything about Ram while you were on the road?

No rumors or anything?

No, I didn't even know he was missing until I met Lex.

Why do you think he's dead?

Not until we find the body.

No one's safe until then.

Yeah, but Jay, I mean, what threat can there be, you know, if his power base is

gone? If Ram's alive, believe me...

He's a threat.

When Zoot arrives, tell him he can't see me till the ceremony.

It's bad luck.

When will he get here?

When he arrives, Zoot's a law unto himself.

Like me.

So where's the honeymoon going to be?

Here in the city.

Zoot wants to get the city back.

He's so impatient.

He's going to take it back all on his own?

Well, when people find out he's back and that...

Where together, they'll come running.

I mean, they've been waiting for this a long time.

Now leave me.

I want to prepare myself.

This is the greatest day of my life.

This time, no one will stop us.

Yeah, I heard of it.

Just a bunch of crazies intent on hurting each other.

The guy who runs the place didn't seem crazy to me.

No one runs it. Not that I heard.

Well, this guy seemed to own the place.

No one would stand up to him.

Did he have a name?

He called himself Slade.

Never heard of him.

Well, I think we should check him out.

What's the point?

Well, I think he's hiding something.

Like what?

I don't know.

Well, then how do you know?

It's just a feeling.

Right. So you have one of your famous feelings that this blade is hiding

something. You don't know what, but you want us to waste valuable manpower

checking it out while the city falls apart.

Okay, I'll check it out myself then.

Your decision.

Careful though, it's pretty rough out there.

Thanks for the concern.

I don't like this, Java. It's scary.

Ebony's going crazy and I don't know what to do.

Do nothing.

Just play along.

She's my sister, Java. Our sister.

I know she's done bad things to us in the past, but I can't see her like that.

I don't like using her. She needs help.

When did she ever do anything to help us?

It's always been Ebony first and last.

But I... Now she wants to be first again.

We're the one symbol that can take her there.

Zoot.

But the difference is, Siva, this time when she gets to the top...

We'll be right alongside her, pulling the strings.

How are you feeling?

Nervous. That's good.

So they say.

We'll be ready to go in five.

I just hope someone's watching.

I bet the loudspeaker van's announcing it all day.

The whole city will be watching.

Thanks. You just made me more nervous.

I wish... Pride was here for this.

Don't worry, he'll turn up.

Yeah, and when he does, he's going to get a piece of my mind for keeping me

waiting.

I didn't go to all that trouble of escaping just to get stood up.

Oh, shush, it's starting.

Please stand by for an announcement from Amber of the Mallrats.

I hope she doesn't go on too long.

I want to get the party started.

Maeve! What's wrong?

It's pride.

Pride's dead.

Do you, Ebony, take Zoot to be your husband and companion in power and

Till death do you part?

I do.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

You may kiss the groom.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I saw it happen.

Did he suffer?

No. It was quick.

Did he say anything?

Did he say anything? Anything at all?

No.

Nothing at all.

Hello.

I guess you all know me.

Don't worry, this won't take long.

What I have to say is simple.

Simple, but very, very important.

Despite all the rumors that you've been hearing, the posters, the chanting mobs,

Zoot is dead.

I saw him die.

I was at his funeral.

What's happening? Should I go on?

Wasn't that?

I'm back.
