- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

(soft music)

- They're coming, Lex.

The true bringers of power and chaos.

- Salene?

- It's okay, Lex, it's okay.

It was just a dream.

Don't worry.

- I've got to find Tai-San, Sal, I've got to.

- Lex, you can't even move.

You've gotta stay still.

- She's gone, Sal.

- What do you mean?

- She's not in here anymore.

- Just rest, Lex, okay?

Just rest.

(soft music)

He's in a really bad way.

- That weapon they used on him.

I need to know what it does.

- Why?

- The whole city is buzzing with rumors

about what these newcomers are capable of.

You know people are calling them the Technos.

We need to find out what's myth

and what's reality here,

and we need to do it fast.

Salene.

If they can do what they did to Lex,

what else can they do?

(dramatic music)

- Ram's awake.

- Good for him.

- He's having his protein juice

and then he wants us to report.

(soft music)

- Where are you going?

- To the farm.

- What?

Don't be stupid.

You can't, it's too dangerous.

- I have to go, Jack.

I have to find Alice.

- Listen to me-- - No, Jack.

I can take care of myself.

- No bugs, no glitches?

- No.

- So, you'd say phase one is about over.

- Nearly.

You've got the labor you need.

And I'm not expecting trouble

from the ones who are left.

For awhile, anyway.

Those were the objectives, right?

- Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay.

He's the coolest guy I know.

He takes over a whole city and then he just

stands there like he's eating low fat yogurt.

(giggles)

So, tell me about the verts.

How are they taking it?

- Badly.

- Oh, verts.

Always getting so emotional.

Always trying to resist.

But they will settle down

once they realize it's pointless.

You are getting that point across to them,

Jay, aren't you?

So, what about phase two?

Where are we?

- I want to finish reprogramming the communicators first.

- Do you think that's necessary?

- Yes.

- Well if that's what you think,

you go right ahead because

I have complete confidence in my general.

But just remember.

Nothing gets in the way of the program.

(soft music)

- [Guard] Roger that, we have two long alleys

to search in this quadrant.

You, over there.

(soft music)

No, don't hear anything.

- [Guard] Hey, what was that?

Let's go.

No, this way.

(soft music)

- Ellie, I wish you'd just come back.

- No I told you, I'm going to the farm.

(moans)

- How are you feeling?

- Yeah.

(baby gurgling)

Any sign of Bray?

- You think you can walk?

- Why?

- That nightmare you had.

When you saw the man in the mask.

(gasps)

It wasn't a nightmare.

There's been some sort of invasion.

- An invasion?

What are you talking about?

- I saw a truckload of kids being taken away.

And they saw you here, Amber.

We have to leave.

- No, no we can't leave.

Bray's gotta come back.

What if he comes back and I'm not here?

(baby gurgles)

- Amber, what if they come back?

You want them to take your baby too?

We have to think about our children now.

- It's for you.

No, go on, look.

It's good.

- Help you?

But you sent Bray and Amber away, Ebony.

Why should I help you?

- I don't have time for this.

- Why?

Aren't you counting them in the casualties list?

- The Mall Rats aren't the only

tribe to lose people.

- Is that supposed to make us feel better?

- Well, what do you suggest?

You've seen these Technos, Pride.

They can take us out at any time they want.

We have to outthink them or get wiped out,

so help me to do it.

- That what this is about?

Or is it that your little house of cards is falling down?

Tell me, Ebony.

What does it feel like to know

that if the strangers don't throw you

in the dust, the city will?

- You know, I thought you were the one man

who'd have a clear mind in all of this.

But you're not even starting to think.

What is it really?

Oh, are you feeling guilty about two-timing May?

Or is that old Amber colored flame

that just won't die down?

- Shut up!

Can't you just shut up?

- You're finished, you know that?

- Oh, you think so?

- Stop it, both of you.

This isn't helping anyone.

- If no one else does it, Ebony,

I swear I will.

- Alice!

Alice!

Alice!

- Ellie, there's no one here.

- Well then, maybe she's in the city.

She's somewhere in the city.

Come on, we're going back.

- Ellie, I'm not sure I am.

- What?

- I said, I'm not sure if I want to go back.

- Is this Luke?

Are you still upset about me and Luke?

Because if you hadn't noticed, Jack, he's gone.

Like everyone else.

But I guess you're glad about that.

- Ellie, no, I'm not glad.

But the reason I came here back, that's,

that's gone too, hasn't it?

- So you're gonna leave everyone behind?

- Get off my back, Ellie.

I mean, there's hardly anyone left.

- Oh what, so time to go then, eh?

- Look, you've made it quite clear

that I've got no chance here, okay,

so just back off.

Because you've got no right to tell me

where I should be.

- Then go ahead.

Go on, leave us.

It's what you do, Jack, so go do what you do best.

Go on, now!

- Okay then.

I will.

- You're not gonna leave us, are you?

- No Cloe, I'm just going out for a bit.

- Why?

- We should know what's happening out there.

- When they get rid of her,

you have to be the leader, Pride.

- What?

- There's no one else.

And I'll fight by your side.

Against Ebony, I mean.

Or against anybody, if that's what you want.

- I don't think we should be

fighting amongst ourselves right now, Cloe.

- But I thought--

- No, Ebony's right.

I've stopped thinking.

And she was right about May, too.

I didn't mean to hurt her.

I just needed someone.

But then I let her think that I loved her.

And I didn't.

- You didn't.

Do you think she's alive?

Do you think any of them are?

- I don't know.

- Pride.

I'm not a little girl anymore.

Give me something to do.

Something I can help with.

I won't let you down.

- Ebony around?

- Why?

- The tribe leaders have called a meeting.

- Amber, we need to talk about what we should do.

I think we should find a safe haven

and rest until we-- - No, no, no.

We stay here, near the barn.

We wait for Bray.

(baby gurgles)

- I don't think

that Bray is coming back.

- What do you mean?

(sobbing)

- I found this.

Outside the barn.

They must've taken him.

- This ring.

My dad gave it to me.

No.

- I'm so sorry. - No.

Maybe he got away.

Oh, Trudy.

- I'm so sorry.

(sobbing)

- They want me to come to their meeting?

- [Dee] Yes.

- You listen to me, you little upstart.

If anybody calls a meeting around here, it's me.

- Hey, I'm on your side.

I'm just the messenger.

- What did you think?

You'd collect a few brownie points from the others

by being the one to come here?

Look, if you want to be a messenger,

then you go back and tell them,

if they want a meeting, then they see me.

Here.

And then you can get out of my sight.

You got that?

- Okay, okay, I'll go tell them.

Oh, and Ebony?

They want to get rid of you.

- Do they?

(soft music)

- You're hacking Ram's personal program.

Come on, Ved, man.

- Imagine taking one of those girls on.

Or maybe even both of them together.

- Forget it, man.

They're Ram's property.

Come on, it's your turn.

- Man, I'm bored.

When are they gonna let us outta here?

Hey, Java.

You want to play?

- You're good, aren't you?

- The best.

- Sorry, kid.

I don't play little boys' games.

- Well then, how about you and I go into town?

- Ved.

- What?

Scared to break the rules?

Come on, we could have some fun with the verts.

Hey!

- You used your power ration up yesterday, Ved.

- I'm on the unlimited list.

Ram put me on there for special projects.

- Well you still don't go into town, Ved.

No one does.

Not until the city is properly secured

and the matrix is up and running.

You got that?

I said, have you got that?

- Yeah, sure.

Do you even believe that that guy's my brother?

- Oh, I'd say there's a certain family resemblance.

Except he's a man.

- So, who's in for going into town then?

- Ved.

- Forget him.

He just doesn't know how to party.

(soft music)

- Hi.

I guess I can't seem to make up my mind.

(birds chirping)

Or you reckon that maybe,

maybe I should take the petals of a flower,

you know, one by one,

and see what that says.

Either stay, go.

Stay, go.

You know, you sure know how to be,

you know, mean sometimes, you know that?

- Yeah.

(soft music)

- Who are they?

- [Salene] Lex, you should be resting.

- I've had enough rest.

- They're just a couple of kids I found on the street.

- So you brought them here?

- Well, somebody had to look after them.

- And you chose us.

- It's what we do, Lex.

Remember, we're the Mall Rats.

- Yeah, what's left of us.

Look at them.

They don't even look house trained.

Take them back where you got them, Salene.

- They're staying, okay?

- Well then keep them out of my way.

(yelling)

What's going on?

- Just a meeting.

Ebony and the tribal leaders.

- And nobody told me.

- Lex, you're still too weak.

- I've gotta go.

Someone's gotta tell those losers.

- Just stay out of my way, she said.

Like I'm the one who called

the meeting in the first place.

(laughing)

- Hey, what you looking at, stare eyes?

Boo.

Hey, where do you think you're going?

(beeping)

Okay.

Let's just get one thing clear.

You are a vert.

In fact, you're all verts.

You know what that means?

Means that you're virtuals.

You're half alive.

Whereas me and the boys,

and this little weapon,

we're the real thing.

Got that?

Good.

Because it works out like this.

We matter and you don't.

So, vert.

Where's the party?

- Time to get outta here.

- Hey, you.

Did I say you could leave?

- I'm not letting my people

fight with you on our flag.

You're cowards, the whole lot of you.

- Come over here and say that.

- See you've got it all under control, Ebony.

- I don't remember inviting you.

- You didn't.

Listen up!

(yelling)

(whistles)

They've got my wife.

Probably your wives.

And possibly your men too.

So I say we find out where they've taken them

and get them back.

(cheering)

- What with?

- With whatever it takes.

- She's saying we shouldn't attack, Lex.

- Is she really?

- Stay out of this.

- If you don't want to lead us, Ebony,

you can always stand down.

- Yeah, stand down.

(chanting)

- Look.

A nice shiny bracelet.

You'd like a bracelet, wouldn't you?

Ah, there we are.

You're a virtual beauty now.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Does the vert want to go after her friend?

Go on, then.

- Please, stop it, please.

- Test, sorry.

Forgot to mention.

You see, it's a tagging device.

And when you run off like that,

there's not much I can do about it.

I guess you have to stay close to me.

What are you doing, she's mine.

- Think you'd better come back with us, Ved.

- Who says?

- I could put this on you right now.

But I don't think you'd like the humiliation.

Not in front of all these verts.

What's it to be?

- Whatever.

It was getting boring anyway.

Get out of my way.

(mumbling)

- Order!

- Who do you think you are?

(whistles)

- [Crowd] Stand down, stand down.

- I gotta hand it to you, Lex.

You know, you got rid of me

and created a well coordinated rebel

all at the same time.

(mumbling)

(clanging)

- Look, you've heard Lex.

You've heard he wants to fight the strangers,

and you've heard why.

Now hear Ebony.

- You want Lex to lead you?

Go, help yourself.

But please just take a look

at what you're getting first.

Okay, one Techno with one weapon

nearly killed our Lex just by pressing a button.

You know, as far as we know,

each of their warriors carries the same weapon.

But this is an enemy none of us

have ever faced before.

And even if you could agree among yourselves,

which I doubt,

they'd mow you down like grass.

Each and every one of you.

Before you've got anywhere near them.

- Then what should we do?

- Survive.

(mumbling)

- Must be joking.

- Oh, was that not sexy enough for you?

What, do you want a more futile gesture?

More losses?

But I'm telling you.

Our business is to survive.

Until we've worked out how to defeat them.

- Yeah, you know she's right.

- Right?

She doesn't even--

- Shut up, Lex.

Then what's your plan?

- Okay right now, it doesn't look like

they're taking any more people.

There's a window of opportunity so we use it.

Okay, we wait.

We organize, we watch, we spy.

Okay, we have to find out where they're weak

and how to exploit it.

Any questions?

Then this meeting is over.

(birds chirping)

- Hey, Trudy?

You're right.

We should move off and get right away from here.

Before we leave though,

there's something I'd like to do.

Will you help me?

- Of course.

- So, what happened at the meeting?

- Nothing.

No fighting.

We wait.

- So, she won.

- But they've got Alice, Tai-San, everyone.

We have to do something.

- You tell me what and I'll do it.

- Pride, you could do it.

You could get through, they'd never see you.

- They've got security cameras, Ellie.

All around their base.

- What are you doing here?

You're not one of us.

If you don't want to fight, you should just go home.

- Yeah, go home.

- Don't listen to them, Pride.

You are one of us.

- I'm sorry.

I don't know why I said that.

You didn't deserve it.

- It's all right.

I'm not one of you, Ellie.

But if it's all the same to you,

there's a few people I'd like to see

back safe and well before I go.

(soft music)

- Which one does it go with?

That one or that one?

- I want to thank you.

- For what?

- For what you did.

- You think I did it for you?

Ebony, I'd no more have you as a leader than the Guardian.

But right now you're all we've got.

And if the tribes don't unite under one leader then

we don't have a hope, do we?

- So, what, you think we should

hit them with an all out attack too?

Look, I thought I told you--

- I've got something you want to see.

Really want to see.

In private.

(soft music)

- I wish for you a fine bright world to grow up in.

And a future for you to believe in.

But you'll need a name to be known by.

And I can't think of any name

better than your father's.

So Bray, my little son,

welcome to the world.

- Food, we need to find food.

- What's this about, Dee?

- I had a little trouble with the Technos.

One vicious little creep in particular.

- And?

- And I fished this out of the little

creep's pocket when he wasn't looking.

I think it's one of their communicators.

So, did I do good?

- Sure you did, honey.

You did real good.
