- Lex, Lex!

You devil!

(laughter)

- What's wrong?

- I've only just woken up.

- That didn't stop you yesterday morning.

- The tribal forum wasn't yesterday.

- Yeah, and Trudy wasn't back either.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Nothing, just forget I said it.

- Come on, nothing always means something.

- Okay, it means that you were obviously glad to see her

and it means that I know that you and her

have some kind of history

and it means that I'm being a jealous cow, right?

- I don't know about the jealous bit.

- Bray!

- Going somewhere special?

- Just celebrating being alive.

- Oh you poor thing, you must be in deep shock.

- Nothing a good brekkie won't fix.

Tai-San, you don't have

some of your magic healing potion, do you?

- You have been hurt.

- Oh no, it's not for me.

It's for Lex.

He hurt his back.

Oh, Tai-San, he was amazing.

He risked his life for me.

It's the least I can do.

- If you're hoping for breakfast in bed, you can forget it.

- I'm not hungry.

- You're always hungry.

- Well, today I'm not, alright?

- Okay, okay, keep your wig on.

- Sorry, look, you go.

I'll see you later.

- Come along anyway, we can still chat.

- Look, I do not want to sit at boring breakfast.

It'll be moan, moan, moan, nag, nag, nag.

I'm not going and that's final.

- What is it, Pats?

- Trudy, I can't face her.

- Why, what have you done?

- I only got her baby kidnapped, didn't I?

- That was ages ago.

- You don't forget things like that if you're a mother.

- How do you know?

- I just know.

I bet she hates me.

- But it's all worked out fine.

- Not in my head it hasn't.

- Well, you can't avoid Trudy forever.

- What am I going to do, Clo?

- [Alice] How's your back?

- Sore.

- That's to say thank you.

Not much for saving a girl's life, I know.

And to apologize.

- For what?

- Well, if I hadn't of stormed off,

you wouldn't have come after me

and we wouldn't have got ourselves into that damn mess.

- Alice, forget it, we're alive aren't we?

- It's not that simple.

- You're not going to go do

the major guilt trip thing on me, are you?

It's too early in the morning.

- This all happened because I didn't believe in you.

I didn't think you had the strength to quit boozing.

- Yeah, well, that makes two of us.

- Well, yesterday you proved us both wrong.

You were a hero.

- Hey, come on, you're making me blush, babe.

- You have to show the others

that you're no longer a boozing slob.

- As far as compliments go, I've had better.

- I'm serious, Lex, you have to show them.

Especially Ebony, our leader from hell.

You need to take back what's yours.

- You really want me to do this, don't you?

- You bet.

- You're not such a bad girl after all.

- It's amazing what you discover about someone

when you face death with them.

Now turn over.

- What?

- I have to fix your back.

Tai-San's famous healing potion.

Well actually, it's feeling miles better.

- But you said it was sore just a minute ago.

- That was before I smelled breakfast.

- You gotta print this stuff, Allie.

Lex, holding up a gigantic beam with his own bare hands,

stopping the whole place from falling down.

Dynamite story.

- This isn't some corny action-adventure, Casey.

My sister was almost killed.

- What about Lex?

You should have seen them

when they staggered back last night

almost dead from exhaustion.

- Trudy isn't here?

- What does it look like?

- Where was I?

Oh yeah, Lex!

- Is your Superman.

We all know that.

Personally, I'm amazed he stayed sober

long enough to rescue anyone.

(cheering)

- Well done, Lex.

Welcome back, mate.

- Isn't he fantastic?

- All in a day's work.

- Listen up, folks, the man is back big time.

- We looked for you at breakfast, but you weren't there.

- That's because I'm here, and who's we?

- Me and my friend.

He's for Brady.

- To say I'm sorry.

- For what?

- For losing Brady.

I wouldn't blame you

if you never wanted to speak to me again.

- You think I feel that way?

- Well, I would if someone nearly lost me my daughter.

- But that didn't happen.

She's here, safe and well with me.

- So you don't hate me?

- Of course not.

- See, I told you.

- Patsy, you weren't to blame.

We're safe now and that's all that really matters.

Come here.

- So how much did that thing weigh?

A ton, two?

Go on, tell us.

- I don't know, do I?

I was busy trying to save someone's life.

- If you've finished the hero worship,

could we get on with something important,

like setting up the forum?

- Is that hot on the agenda today, is it?

- You probably have it more in mind

to prop up a bar somewhere.

- Look, I've already told you.

- Yeah, yeah, he's this big, reformed, born-again character.

Sorry, but I don't buy it.

- Leave it, Alice.

Sitting around chin-wagging with your tribal buddies

doesn't keep us safe at home.

- Yeah, well, I've been handling security just fine

while you've been off on your benders.

- Is that why when me and Alice

accidentally tripped on the alarm wire last night,

it didn't go off?

- Jack?

- Not everyone's infallible, not even me.

- [Ebony] You better be.

Fix it!

- Can't you ever say please?

- Just leave it, Allie.

- The point is it should have been spotted and fixed.

And that is why I'm taking back my old security job.

- No way.

- Says who?

- I think it's a great idea.

Doesn't the guy deserve a break, Bray?

- Yeah, without arm-twisting, of course.

- Lex covering the mall and Ebony the city.

- Forget it.

- Think about it, Ebony.

More time to concentrate on what you're good at.

Being out there sussing, checking, taking charge.

- You always had the smoothest chat up lines.

- Okay, Lex, but on probation.

All those in favor, raise your hands.

- Thanks a lot, team.

So glad to see my services have been appreciated.

- Cool color.

- Yeah, it's dead fashionable.

At least it was before.

- I'm glad I found you.

I've got a whole list of questions.

- Look, if it's about the chosen, you can forget it.

I already said I didn't want to talk about them.

- Well, sure, when you first came back

but now you've had time to...

- Time to what?

Shrug it off?

Put it all behind me?

All those stupid cliches.

- Not at all, but surely you're feeling stronger

now you're safely back with us.

- You don't have a clue how I feel.

You couldn't even begin to imagine.

- Then why don't you tell me.

- Because there is nothing I can say

that doesn't hurt like hell.

Can't you understand that?

Or is your little news sheet

more important than anything else?

- Leave her alone.

- This isn't about the news sheet.

This is about us.

We're all in danger.

If she knows anything about the chosen that could help,

she should tell us.

- No matter how much it upsets her.

- That's right.

- You're just being horrible.

Go away.

Fine, I will.

But they won't.

- You can't just come in here making demands.

I mean, I'm busy with other things.

- What other things?

- I've got a life outside security gadgets, you know?

- You mean you have a woman and she's the boss.

- Yeah, alright, I said I'd help Allie with the amulet.

- And the rest of us just go to hell for all you care?

- Would everyone stop having a go at me?

Look, I'm trying my best.

- Well, maybe it's not good enough.

Allie or the tribe, man.

It's your choice.

- You're so graceful, so beautiful to watch.

- Thanks.

- Who would guess that underneath

lies such a devious, warped mind?

- I'm sorry?

- Playing dumb isn't your style, Tai-San.

- I don't understand.

- Then I'll remind you.

Running to Bray

and blabbing everything I said to you about him?

- That's not what happened.

- Then why did he come over all sweetness and light, huh?

Sorry for the way he'd behaved,

realizing I'd been telling the truth?

Unless it was a divine revelation.

- I was just expressing an opinion.

I didn't break any confidences.

- You set the whole thing up, didn't you?

Played with us like little toys in Tai-San's game of life?

- No, that's not true.

- And why?

Because you love power and manipulation.

- Ebony, you've got me so wrong.

- Quite the opposite.

I've finally got you sussed.

I get given a hard time because they say I love power.

Your kind of power is far worse.

- What are you talking about?

- You're like a spider, enticing people into your web,

seducing them with your phony, sweet concerns

and I was dumb enough to fall for it.

- I wanted to help.

- On second thoughts,

it wasn't just your concern that was phony.

Everything that you stand for, your sick making beliefs,

they're all phony.

- Ebony, I'm sorry if you don't think...

- Oh you will be sorry, believe me,

if you breathe one word about Bray.

I missed out the first time because of that stupid dog.

Next time I won't.

- So how are things with Ryan?

Any better?

- Worse, if anything.

He keeps on tip-toeing around me, trying so hard.

He's driving me nuts.

- You'd want him more if he left you alone?

- Well, yeah.

That's absolutely true, but how can I tell him that?

- Here's your big chance.

- Oh no.

Hi, Ryan.

- Hey.

Glad you're up and about Trudy.

- Thanks, me too.

- So do you think I could borrow your nurse

for a few minutes?

- You want a word with Salene, sure.

- I'd just like to spend some time with her,

if that's alright with you.

No problem.

- I hate sarcasm.

- I wasn't being sarcastic.

- If that's alright with you?

What else were you doing?

- Trying to talk to my girlfriend, is that too much to ask?

- There you go again.

You really are annoying me, Ryan.

And yes, right now it is too much to ask.

- Trudy, about what Abbie said...

- Ignore it, sweetheart, trust me, we're in no danger.

- Hi, where are you off to?

- I've invited them out to lunch.

- Do you think I could come with you?

I really want to get out of this place.

- I'd love to say yes.

- Great.

- But this is my special treat to the girls to thank them.

They came to my rescue earlier.

- So that's a no then?

- I'm sure you understand.

- Actually, I don't.

- Salene, I'm sorry,

but I need to rebuild my relationship with them,

especially Patsy.

- What about our friendship?

- Salene, they're younger than us.

They need more of my time, okay?

Come on, girls.

See you later then.

- It's my job now, remember?

- Oh, I thought you might be asleep

on a park bench somewhere.

- Oh drop it Ebony, that's yesterday's news.

- There's something you need to know about me, Lexie babe.

I only drop what I want when I want.

- Let me share a little gem with you, sweetheart.

The king is back and the queen should watch her head.

- Let me get this straight, you're going to sit here

playing with your electronic toys

while I go out in the street alone?

- Look Ellie, be reasonable.

Lex asked me and I'm good at this stuff.

- He bullied you into it, didn't he?

- No, not exactly.

- You had a choice between loyalty to me or to Lex

and you chose Lex.

I hope you'll be very happy together.

- This is amazing.

I haven't had a picnic since, in ages.

- I just with Salene could have come.

She's been so kind to us both.

- Well, maybe I'm being selfish

but she's been so upset about Ryan lately.

I wanted this to be a happy time for us.

No weepy women.

- We tried to help him make it up with her,

but I guess we didn't do a great job.

- When I start going out with boys,

I'm never going to let them get to me like that.

- So you haven't yet, either of you, while I've been away?

- Like who?

There's not exactly much choice.

- But you want to.

- Maybe soon,

if only they'd stop treating us like little kids.

- So no one's noticed you growing up?

- They're all too busy sorting out their own lives.

- Well, I'm not and I have noticed.

- You have?

- Yes, and anytime you want to talk about boys or anything

you know where to come.

- So reassuring to see that our leaders

have nothing better to do than snog.

We may be on the brink of civil war

but who cares about that?

- We do.

- Then run along and do something about it,

something more useful than gazing into lover boy's eyes.

- Look, Ebony, I know it's hard

but I want to make everything okay between us.

I really am sorry.

- For what?

There isn't a problem.

- No?

Then why are you being so bitchy to Dani?

- Oh so that's what this is about?

You want me to be nice to your little darling.

- I'm simply trying to find a way for us all to get along.

- Playing happy families, you mean?

- If that's what you call a bit of peace and harmony.

- Peace and harmony?

No, not my thing, Bray, not my thing at all.

- It's like whatever I do isn't my...

I do my best.

I think I'm quite a good guy.

But somehow it isn't enough.

Maybe there's something wrong with me.

- Ryan, that is so not true.

- Isn't it?

- No, you're kind, caring, supportive.

I would want you as my friend.

- You would?

That means a lot to me.

- Hey, I've got an idea.

Why don't you come investigate the chosen with me?

Be like a journalist, you mean?

I couldn't.

- Well, all you'd have to do is ask some simple questions

or just hang back and let me do it.

I'd like the company.

- My company?

- Yes, Ryan, your company.

- The most powerful forces

are the ones that come together quietly.

Everything is done in a whisper

and in secret plotting to overthrow.

- You've been reading too many trashy novels.

- It's just another Mall Rat's con.

- How can I make you understand?

Okay, maybe you're right and we're just paranoid,

but what if you're wrong?

Can you afford to lose everything

we've struggled so hard to achieve?

(mumbling)

- Trudy, you've got to overcome you're fears.

You've suffered at the hands of the chosen.

Tell them.

- I can't.

- Don't they deserve to know what's going on?

Trudy, I'm begging you.

Please, think of the children, think of Brady.

We've got to protect them, please.

- Okay.

I've got something to say.

So these are the kind of people we're dealing with.

They will stop literally at nothing to get what they want.

And the have the means to do it.

I beg you, do not underestimate the power of the chosen.

Believe me, I know.

- Congratulations, they certainly got the message.

- That was entirely down to Trudy.

- Yeah, well, I'm glad she helped out someone today.

- You and her have fallen out?

I noticed you kept your distance.

- I'm probably just overreacting.

I think the situation with Ryan is getting to me.

- Yeah, what is it with you two?

- It's all about kids.

He wants them I don't, simple as that.

- Come on, is it ever that simple?

Isn't is also to do with the right time, the right place,

and of course it has to be the right person?

Or am I just shooting my mouth off?

- No, no, you're spot on.

- If you ever need a shoulder to cry on.

- You really mean that?

I just came to say well-done at the forum.

Both of you, well done.

- Do you think I'm like a spider?

- What?

- It's just something Ebony said.

- Suits her, that description.

She's like a human tarantula.

- Yeah, I can definitely see the poison connection.

Anyway, you said you wanted to talk.

- It's about Lex.

- Go on.

- Something happened yesterday.

- I know.

- No, no, that's not what I mean.

Something to do with my feelings.

- For Lex?

- I know you all see me as rough, tough Alice,

the girl from the farm who mucks in and gets on with it.

But yesterday I felt something soft and tender.

I felt like a woman.

- Danger can bring out the best in people.

But what happened to the Lex you know so well?

- Well, I know he can be jerk.

But he was different yesterday too,

maybe more like the real Lex.

- Maybe you won't see that side of him again

for a very, very long time.

- He saw me differently too.

I know he did.

We're going to get together, Lex and I.

I've got a really good feeling about it.
