♪♪

There's rioting breaking out throughout the city.

Fires continue to burn everywhere.

Troops are shooting people.

My God, I... I don't know why.

There's a woman dying in front of me, and no one's helping her.

There are conflicting reports about who or what started the chaos.

Will someone tell me what's happening?

This is madness.

What is this world coming to?

Get me back, sir.

Hurry.

I won't die here.

♪♪

Debi, turn it down, please.

Debi!

There's no point in listening to it if it's not loud.

Okay, but I can't hear myself think.

Just because you hate it.

I don't hate anything. I just don't want it to make me deaf.

That's what all parents say, Debi. Mine did.

Nobody understands.

Do you mind shutting off that noise?

See? Everybody's on my case.

I was trying to get some sleep.

It's not fair. I can never listen to what I want to.

Life's not fair.

Fine, I'll go in the tunnel with the rats, like always.

She's only 13,

and she's trapped 200 feet underground.

You could at least try to understand what it's like for her.

It's hard for me, too.

It's harder for Debi.

Yeah, but you're forgetting one thing. This is my place.

I'm sorry if we're in the way,

but we didn't choose to live like this.

Okay, we're having a little bit of a problem here,

so let's talk about it, huh?

The problem is I need my privacy.

I can't even turn around in here.

I can't get a decent night's sleep.

I have to watch what I say and what I do.

Well, it's the same for all of us.

You're not the only one who's made compromises.

Yeah, well, I ain't cut out for domestic bliss.

I need space.

Where are you going?

Somewhere I can breathe.

Maybe we have taken a lot for granted.

What are his chances?

Reasonable. The crisis has passed.

He nearly died.

They had no reason to do it.

Another setback like this, and we'll be forced to leave this place, too.

You heard him. Ardix will live.

And what about the others who weren't so lucky?

We've lost ten of our best to these creatures.

We're trapped here. Even the Eternal is at risk.

I want to find another base.

No. I won't run from humans.

Our mandate is to make this planet safe for the Morthren race.

You selected this quadrant.

Now we're at risk every time we step outside.

You made a mistake. Why don't you just admit it?

Since we came here, our numbers have been dwindling.

We've tried to reproduce,

but we have only one offspring to show for our efforts.

Unless action is taken now,

we will not survive another year.

All right. All right.

What do you suggest?

Exploit what we can.

We have to somehow gain control of these animals.

They're so full of hate and rage.

And that certainly is weakness.

Perhaps we can make this weakness work for us.

You've been studying their behavior, Sol. What do you think?

One thing unites them and gives them power...

Their music.

I think that's the key to any control we might exert.

Music.

This is a public safety announcement.

Electrical services in Quadrant 7 have been interrupted.

I repeat. Electrical services have been interrupted.

This is a public safety announcement.

Electrical services in Quadrant 7 have been interrupted.

I repeat. Electrical services have been interrupted.

Hello, sweet thing.

Hey, Johnny.

It's been a long time.

Yeah, it has.

You look good.

So do you.

I missed you.

You never call.

Yeah, well, I've been kind of busy.

Gee, that's what your brother always used to say.

Nothing ever changes, does it?

You're in the handyman business now?

No.

Can't seem to get anyone to come out here anymore.

This whole place is like a war zone.

Scavengers control the whole area.

People are really scared.

Last night they trashed old Snyder's place just for a handful of change.

You ought to move out of here.

Yeah, well, I don't have any choices, do I?

You want me to help you?

Thanks, but I look after myself.

It's a lot simpler that way.

Simpler, but not as much fun.

Nope, it's not as much fun.

You've gotten too serious, Rose.

It's good to see you.

Oh, well, I'm glad to hear you say so.

Who invited you?

Please don't start, Larry.

Why don't you just hit the road?

You see, you're not welcome around here.

Are you a lawyer?

No. No, I'm not a lawyer,

but I am the only man around here now.

And we don't need you at all.

Larry.

Just leave us alone, Kincaid.

I'll only take so much from you, Larry.

What are you doing here?

You want to make something out of it or what?

- Maybe I better leave soon. - No, don't leave.

Come on in.

♪♪

Call off your friends, Mr. Ripper.

I've come on business.

What kind of business?

My name is Dennis Lawson.

I represent some people in the business who are interested in your work.

I think you'll like what I have to say.

Either you're pretty gutsy, or you're stupid.

Which is it?

I know your reputation, Mr. Ripper.

I've got a proposition for you, that's all.

Talk.

As I said, I represent a group of people

who are interested in you and your music.

How interested?

We want to back the Terminal Band.

We can give you the future you want on your terms.

Talk, talk, talk. I've heard it all before.

Oh, this is more than talk, believe me.

We'll call this a retainer...

A gesture of our faith in you.

Okay, Dennis.

I'm a listener.

What's on your mind?

I'd like you to meet my partners.

Okay, let's meet your partners.

That your partner?

We'll take you to them.

In what? Why didn't you bring them here?

Scavengers!

Let me out of here!

He been giving you trouble?

Yeah, a little.

He's unreachable. He won't talk to me.

I don't know where the hell he got that bike or the clothes.

I just pray he isn't running with the Scavengers.

He's just going through a phase, Rose.

So how are you holding up?

I'm overworked.

I'm tired, I'm frustrated,

I'm broke...

and I'm lonely.

You should get yourself a man, Rose.

Yeah, you're right.

Rose, I can't make any promises.

I'm not asking for any.

Explain this plan to me.

We know the Scavengers' music already incites them to violence.

I've buried neural patterns deep within the music.

They act as triggers.

I can increase their aggressive tendencies...

Making them more violent.

How will that help us?

This amplifies the existing neural pattern and allows us to control it.

We'll be able to direct their aggression.

If you're wrong, we'll be in a worse position than we were before.

And if I'm right, we can use this technique on a much wider scale...

A younger army under our command.

He's ready.

Show the people some Scavenger truth.

♪♪

The music is an expression of their decay and imbalance.

Make them love it.

Make them love you.

♪ In my world I... ♪

That's the music, on the surface?

And there is the signal we planted.

That tells me nothing.

You think they'll approve this on speculation?

I won't risk any more of our people

on an unproven theory.

Test it.

That can easily be arranged.

I wish it could be different, John.

I know.

I feel like everything is falling apart,

and I don't know how to keep it together anymore.

It's going to be all right.

I'm all alone, John.

You've got Larry.

No. No, I don't have Larry.

We were tight once, you know,

but now I don't know who he is or what he does.

I'm really afraid he's headed for trouble.

Well, I'd like to help,

but I don't think he's going to listen to me.

He hates me.

He hates everybody.

He's really starting to scare me, John.

Well, I'll talk to him if you think it'll do any good.

I wouldn't ask you.

It's just I don't really know who else I can ask.

You can ask me anything.

Okay, where do I find him?

He hangs with the Scavengers at the Scorched Earth Club.

I know it.

John, these aren't just kids letting off steam.

Scavengers, I want you to meet my new manager, Mr. Lawson.

He's got some great plans for us.

You're going to love them.

The world's going to hear about the Terminal Band.

I can promise you that.

We got something for you.

It's sonar technology, gentlemen.

Intra-cortal, perfect resolution.

Now you're going to be able to hear our music the way you should.

They fit right in the ear.

Feel better?

Now you'll be able to go into the streets with the message.

From now on, this quadrant belongs to Scavengers.

Anyone who doesn't get it dies.

The first citizen you see,

kill them.

Aah!

Aah!

I'm barely getting a pulse.

He's got a hole in him the size of my fist.

He shouldn't be alive.

It's like nothing I ever saw before. They just kept coming.

I shot one of them three times.

Can you get this thing off him?

I don't know. It's alien, and it's alive.

I don't know how it's attached or what it does.

I'm afraid that if we try and take it off, it'll kill him for sure.

Look, I got to go.

You're going to go back out there again?

There's something I've got to take care of.

This kid's a Scavenger.

That doesn't tell me why you're so eager to go out there and be killed.

It's personal.

Besides, there's nothing I can do here.

Look, if this a new alien move,

it affects us all.

The personal will have to wait.

A friend of mine's brother is involved with the Scavengers.

She could be in real danger.

Look, if aliens are involved in this gang,

you could be walking right into another trap.

That's a chance we're going to have to take.

I have to do this.

Go on. I'll be fine. Go.

What do you mean, you lost them?

We recovered all the bodies but one.

He vanished.

And what am I supposed to tell them?

That the music does its job.

Two dead, one missing.

Is this your army?

Their deaths are not important.

The point is the programming worked perfectly.

We can now begin to extend our control.

And what about the one that's missing?

If he's alive, perhaps we can locate him with this.

I wonder where John got all this stuff.

I don't know, honey,

but let's just hope it still works.

Brain damage.

From the bullet?

I don't think so. There's no serious head wounds.

Must be from this thing.

Honey, go turn on the sterilizer.

I'm going to try and take it off.

What are you doing?

Worried about Suzanne.

Want to make sure she's all right.

Yeah.

Let's check again, Suzanne.

Any results?

The EEG reads almost no brain function.

Any response?

No, not yet.

Increase the levels.

If I increase the levels much more, we'll lose him...

Increase the levels.

Then how has he survived this long?

I'm sure that device is keeping him alive,

but I don't know how it works.

You take a tissue sample and get a culture of that thing.

Yeah, well, I'm going to try to remove it.

- Be careful. - Yeah, I will.

Bye.

Mom, what happened?

I don't know.

He's dead, isn't he?

Yes.

This is your idea.

You promised me an army of obedient human youths,

you would provide us with a secure quadrant,

and once again your dreams have exceeded your ability to deliver.

You ordered this random testing, not me,

and now a receiver is lost

and very likely in the hands of some human.

You have no right to question my decisions.

Then let me try my way.

What other options do you have?

Go on.

The transmitter can be installed in the band's amplifiers at the club.

Mr. Ripper will perform as usual.

The music will unleash the Scavengers

into the quadrant and cleanse the area.

♪♪

♪♪

What are you doing here?

Larry.

Get out.

Now.

So you are one of them.

Why?

Because they're my family, Rosa.

I'm your family.

I care about what happens to you.

Oh, you do?

Well, what's been happening to me, Rose,

is I've been living in the sewer.

Look around.

What do you see?

This is your future.

Maybe it is,

but at least I don't go around hurting innocent people

to prove I'm a big man.

You don't know anything about nothing.

I know a lot.

You're a born victim, Rose. You know that?

Not me.

Scavengers don't take crap from anyone.

People don't hassle us. You know what I mean?

When we walk down the street, people move out of the way.

I like that.

Listen to yourself.

No, you listen to me.

First it was Max.

Now it's his stinking brother.

He's going to take what he needs

and vanish.

And you talk about me?

You're...

Don't you ever open your filthy mouth to me like that again.

I'll be with my friends.

I'll kill him.

No, John.

So what do we know so far?

The boy died from the wounds he received.

In fact, he should have been dead long ago.

So something in this device was keeping him alive somehow.

No, don't touch it.

We don't know enough about it so far.

Can you take it apart?

I think so.

I'm going to need some finer instruments.

Set down the equipment right there.

We only have a few moments.

Don't worry.

Sure this will work?

There's only one way to find out, isn't there?

What happened?

I don't know.

I just... He was dressed like a Scavenger.

One minute we were talking, and then the next...

Have any idea where he went?

Look, John, please, please, don't hurt him.

He didn't mean it. He doesn't know what he's doing.

I'll be back with Larry.

I promise.

What's happening?

Tell you on the way.

Hey, Larry, I see you made it for the big, great event.

Yeah, I made it.

Why, are you surprised?

Not really.

I just wonder if you've got what it takes.

What do you think?

Try me.

Scavengers look out for Scavengers.

Any citizen that wanders in goes down immediately.

And I live by it.

You're sister's a citizen.

What if she steps through the wrong door?

Well, then we'll do what has to be done.

The music.

Kincaid!

Kincaid!

We're near the time, Mana. The Scavengers are ready.

This is excellent.

Now let's see if our army will perform for us.

Freeze on 54-0-2. Enhance.

We have a problem.

Kincaid, stop it!

You pig-headed idiot, stop it!

Stop it!

It's the music!

Listen, they programmed in the music!

They programmed the music!

You've got to put your mind to something else.

The multiplication table, anything, anything.

Anything to jam their conditioning.

Listen to me.

We've got to kill the music.

Debi?

Debi?

It's up there. It's coming from up there.

I think we're in trouble.

Don't listen to the music, Larry. Think of something else.

- They're using you, Larry. - They want you to kill for them.

Be your own man. You're a tool, Larry.

Give us the gun.

No!

Oh, my God.

Max loved you like his own kid.

He didn't want to leave you.

He had to.

Debi!

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

At maximum.

Debi, can you hear me?

Debi. Debi.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Decide now.

No!

Scavengers!

The truth is here.

We can find it in the darkness.

Watch out!

Let's get him out, come on.

The programming was effective.

The reaction time can be increased.

It can be corrected.

- We can repeat... - It failed, Ardix.

It's over.

You allowed a couple of humans to defeat you.

Their interference could not have been foreseen.

You always underestimate them, Mana,

and so we find ourselves in the same situation.

We try it my way this time.

We exterminate them.

No, I... Look, I can help... Let me get you something to drink.

- No, I don't want to... - No...

Larry.

What I said in the club, it was true.

What do you mean?

About how Max felt about you

and Rose.

Well, look, Kincaid, just get to the point.

The point is there are a lot of dangerous people out there.

Max knew that.

He didn't want to risk your lives.

Neither do I.

Yeah, but he left,

so I guess he chose to risk his life, right?

Yeah...

but he also chose to protect you.

Sometimes when you start something, it's hard to give it up.

Life's not simple.

You're going to have to make some hard decisions on your own now.

And, Larry...

Those are real rock 'n' roll.

I'll keep trying, Larry.

John.

He'll be okay.

I wasn't thinking about Larry.

I can't.

Well, thank you...

for everything.
