(light music)

- [Man] Howdy, Sheriff, have a nice day!

- Hey, Ellie, how's it going?

- Oh, fine.

- Good to see the marketplace come back to life, huh?

- What?

- The market starting up again.

- Oh, yeah.

- People buying stuff, getting on with their lives.

Shows those creeps we're not beaten yet.

Life goes on.

- I'm sorry, what did you say?

Life without Jack?

Life without Tai-San?

What kind of life is that?

We don't even know if they're still alive!

- They're alive somewhere.

I can feel it.

- I have lost everyone I was ever close to,

and all anyone can keep saying

is that life is getting back to normal.

So do me a favor, Lex,

take that old Mall Rat spirit and shove it!

(light music)

- [Pride] The Technos could've really hurt us just then.

- Yeah, but they didn't.

And why not?

I mean, they had us at their mercy,

and all they did was slap our wrists

and tell us to go home.

And now, Ebony's suddenly the heroine?

- Isn't she always?

- Listen.

Do you think Ebony could've made a deal with the Technos

behind everyone's back?

Is that possible?

- What, after the battle, you mean?

- No, Pride, I mean from the start, from day one.

- I wouldn't put it past her.

She'd sacrifice anyone and everyone to stay in power.

- Maybe she already has.

We just don't know it yet.

(light music)

(shouting)

- Ow!

- You might have a scar there.

Something to remember the Technos by.

Funny, you're the only one who got injured.

Well, apart from bruises.

- What's so funny about that?

- It was probably deliberate.

They singled you out.

You're the leader,

and they wanted to make an example of you.

- Yeah, could have.

- Pity about that (sighing) what's him name?

Jay, though.

- What about him?

- If he wasn't on their side,

I could really go for him.

What do you think?

- Yeah, when hell freezes over.

(light music)

Ow!

Careful!

- Sorry.

(birds chirping)

- Silly leader, who would've thought Ebony

would end up respectable,

and in such a short time?

How did she manage that?

- Same way anybody does.

By lying and cheating.

Personally, I'm not a bit surprised.

- So, what do we do now?

- What we came here to do.

Get rid of her!

- But what's Ram gonna say about it?

Doesn't he object to stuff like that?

- Stuff like what, Siva?

- Ebony.

- What about her?

- We were saying how embarrassing it all is,

having a revert for a sister.

- No, we weren't!

- No, we weren't?

- Ram, Ebony has to go.

- She what? - She's poison!

Do it now and get it over with!

- Do away with your own flesh and blood?

Now, there's a new one.

- This is different.

She will destroy us all.

- It's true.

- I'm intrigued.

Tell me what she's done to earn such a reputation.

- You'll just have to trust us on this one.

- I'm afraid you'll have to talk with Jay,

refer to his department.

- Jay won't do anything!

- No, Siva, Ram is right.

We should leave this one to the generals.

Sorry we bothered you, Ram,

guess it's the revert's blood in our veins.

- Don't worry, girls.

No one's perfect.

That's why they invented cyberspace.

(motor humming)

- You think these kids will ever speak again?

- They'll speak again when they're ready.

- Who knows what would have happened to them

if you hadn't found them.

- Well, they're safe now.

At least, as safe as we can make them.

(clanking)

Ellie?

I'd better go check if she's okay.

- Pride?

- Yes, Cloe, what is it?

- I was wondering if you found something.

- What have you lost?

- Well, I didn't exactly lose it.

I left it somewhere.

A piece of paper?

- Paper?

- It doesn't matter!

- Hey, that was deliberate.

I'm watching you guys!

(light music)

- You're late.

- [Ebony] You think it's easy getting here

through the city without being seen?

- I forgot, you're a celebrity.

So, everything went fine, don't you think?

(door slamming)

- Perfect.

And I have the scars to prove it.

- If you have a scar, Ebony, everyone will want one.

- You're sick, you know that?!

We had a deal!

- Sure, I kept my end of it.

- What?

You told your men to hurt me!

- I didn't tell them anything!

The attack was real on both sides.

We suffered casualties ourselves.

Or did you forget that?

- You didn't tell your own men what we agreed?

- It was better that way.

No loose ends to tie up after.

Anyhow, we were lucky.

No one got badly hurt.

- And what about my virtual execution?

As far as I remember, that wasn't in the script!

- I improvised.

I knew that if it felt real for you,

it would look real to everybody else.

So, tell me, did it work for them or not?

- Why don't you go ahead and finish me off?

No loose ends.

- I should've, but it would've been a waste.

You have the city in the palm of your hands.

- That's right, I do.

- And I have you in the palm of mine.

So, keep your end of the bargain, Ebony.

Sell the deal to your people.

Unless you're having second thoughts?

- I'm due to make a speech in about an hour.

It's not gonna be easy convincing them

to lay off you guys.

- What are you gonna say?

- Maybe I'll do some improvising of my own.

You'll have to wait and see.

(light music)

- I don't wanna hear it.

- What?

- Whatever you've got to say, I don't want to hear it.

(sighs)

- I was just gonna ask--

- If I'm okay?!

Well, I'm not okay, okay?!

- Okay.

- I know that we've all lost someone,

and I know I'm just being selfish.

- You're not.

- Lex thinks I am.

- Since when have you cared what Lex thinks?

- All I know is everyone I get close to,

everyone goes missing or...

Whatever.

Maybe I'm a jinx.

If I were you, Salene, I'd be worried.

I mean, you talk to me,

you're probably next on the hit list now.

If you know what's good for you,

you'll just stay away.

- Ellie. - And don't!

Whatever you do tell me,

how much you care or that we need each other

or any of that, please,

just leave me alone.

(light music)

- We fought honorably.

We took the Technos on, and we lost.

There's no shame in that.

We couldn't drive them out.

But now, there could be peace.

Cooperation is all the Technos ask.

They've given us their word, they won't attack us.

(shouting)

I know we're all wrecked by what's happened.

The loss of our friends,

but I have been given an assurance

that they are safe.

(shouting)

Believe me, I know how you feel.

I was against the raid on the Technos

because I couldn't bear to lose

any more of our people.

As it turned out,

I was badly beaten myself.

I'm for cooperating.

And if there's any one of you out there

with a better plan, then let's hear it!

I'll stand down and that person can be city leader.

Very well.

Then I say we start rebuilding our lives.

I say we start today!

(cheering)

We may have been defeated in a battle,

but we have made an honorable peace.

We are heroes, all of us!

- I knew she was gonna be good,

I didn't think she was that good.

- As your elected city leader,

I will continue to make our city

a better place to live.

- Would you look at that?

Pure anabolic protein animal juice.

Hey girl, look at me!

- We will be our own heroes.

(cheering)

- Whoa, spooky.

- Can you believe that?

- Almost.

She was pretty convincing.

What if we're wrong?

- If we are wrong,

that speech would've been hard for her to make.

It goes against everything she believes in.

- Oh, then again, leaders argue

for things they don't believe in all the time.

Sometimes for the common good.

Maybe she was fooling them deliberately.

- Maybe she was fooling us.

- What do you think, Cloe?

- Who cares!

(light music)

- What'd I say?

- Ellie's in a bad way, too.

I have a feeling these wounds

are gonna take a while to heal.

(birds chirping)

- We blew it.

The more we tell Ram about Ebony,

the more interested in her he gets.

- We should never have mentioned it.

- He'd have known anyone just by looking at us.

The problem now is getting rid of her

without arousing his suspicions.

- We'll have to wait. - No, this can't wait!

If she gets her claws him, we're history.

You know as well as I do, Ebony has to go for good.

Ram would thank us if he knew what she was capable of.

- I know she deserves it, but--

- No buts!

What's the matter with you, girl?

- Okay.

- Can I count on you to help me do this?

(light music)

- It has to be done.

- And there will be no interfering with the Technos.

Okay, not from anyone!

They'll police themselves.

- Are you serious?

They'll walk all over us!

- Well, they already have, or didn't you notice?

- And what am I supposed to do when they start to get rowdy?

Which they will!

Just turn the other cheek?

- Look.

All you have to do is make sure

our people are away from them.

And under control, that's all you have to do.

- Now, that's all, is it?

- Well, you'll need help, of course.

(sighs)

This is your new deputy.

- Deputy?

I don't think so.

- And what's wrong with me?

- Well, if it was just babysitting, sweetheart, nothing.

But police work is a completely different matter.

- I can handle myself.

- Why are you doing this?

Cooperation was one thing,

but total surrender is something else.

- Everything is quiet now,

and we have to keep it that way.

Okay, the Technos will destroy us if we cross them!

I'm doing this for you, Lex.

Okay, you're gonna need someone

to watch your back, aren't you?

(light music)

(crashing)

(laughing)

- Stop that!

This is getting beyond a joke.

- [Cloe] Love of my life, I need you.

More than words can say.

Out of this life I lead you

to our bright new shining day.

Cloe.

(laughing)

- So, Ebony sent you to spy on me, is that it?

- Do you need spying on?

- No.

That's not exactly what I heard.

So what are we supposed to do?

- Just do what I do.

- You mean, I have to walk like that?

- Like what?

- Hey, you!

Watch where you're going!

- Me?!

You watch where you're going!

- Hey, it's the sheriff! - Oh no!

Way too scary for me!

- Hey, don't hurt us, please!

- Hey, maybe meathead here wants to play Squirtiver.

- There's no need for that.

Our mistake. - Go direct traffic.

- Fine, we were just going to do that.

Right, Lex?

- Wrong. - Come on, sheriff,

duty calls.

These guys are guests in our fair city, remember?

- I'm not gonna take this from them!

- Hey, come on, it's the law! - What law?!

- The law called to Ebony.

Besides, it's better than being zapped again, right?

(laughing)

- What are?!

(light music)

- Star or smooth?

- Star.

- Then I guess it's up to you, sis.

(sighs)

- Hey, Pride.

Why don't you say hello to my new deputy?

Ebony talked me into it.

- Thanks, Lex, I love you too.

- Congratulations.

- Not that we actually have much to do.

Apart from standby

and watch the Technos walk all over us.

- Anyway, I kept him out of trouble.

So far.

- You call that trouble?

- [Dee] Those guys would've zapped you for sure.

- Did either of you guys see Ellie out there?

- No, not since this morning.

I saw her in the marketplace.

She was acting a bit strange.

I couldn't quite figure it out.

- What's happened to her?

- I don't know.

- You don't think maybe the Technos have got her?

- Well, maybe.

They can do whatever they like,

now it's part of Ebony's new deal.

- Oh no!

(sighs)

(light music)

Look at this!

Look at what these kids have done!

- Settle down, Cloe.

- Why should I, Salene?

You're the one who brought them here!

This is all your fault.

- You don't know it was them.

- Of course it was them.

Who else would it be?

- Well, why don't you start clearing up,

and I'll go get Ellie.

- Do it yourself.

- Cloe, it's okay, they're just playing around.

- No one cares.

They don't care what gets broken and neither do you!

- What's up with her?

There's nothing broken.

- Maybe there is.

(funky music)

- Pride, you're here!

- I've been looking for you.

- So, you did get my note?

- Yeah, I found it.

(funky music)

The kids were playing with it.

They made a paper plane out of it.

So.

- Did you like it?

- Yes, yes, I did.

- I had to try and tell you what I feel.

- I know.

I appreciate it.

- So, what's your answer?

- Cloe, stop.

I can't lie to you.

I don't have those kinds of feelings for you.

- Because you think I'm a child.

- No, no, that's not it, really.

- That's the reason, I don't care what you say.

(sighs)

- Listen.

You remember what I told you about May?

About how I didn't really love her?

Well, I ended up hurting her.

Much more than if we'd never gotten together.

So, you see, Cloe, I can't do that to you.

I don't love you.

And I'm not going to lie to you.

- But you don't know.

- I want you to take this back.

It's not for me.

(light music)

- Get away from me!

(suspenseful music)

- Ellie, are you there?

Ellie?

(sobbing)

(light music)

I've got you.

I've got you, Ellie, it's okay.

You're safe now, we'll keep you safe.

You're gonna be okay, I promise.

(funky music)

(yells)

- Well, well, if it isn't Little Miss Tin Face.

Why are you following me? - I wasn't!

- If this is Ram's idea of some kind of a joke.

- No, I swear!

- What do you want from me?

Free makeup tips?

A more natural look?

Okay, let's check out your skin problem.

Let's see who you are. - No!

This is for you.

It's from Jay.

He wants you to meet him.

- Does he now?

Well, why didn't you say so?

Next time, just call by the office.

(owl hooting)

(fire crackling)

(light music)

- I can't believe this connection.

- It's my amulet.

It's bringing me luck.

- And me?

(sobbing)

- I have to pay for what I've done.

But you don't.

- What are you saying?

- I mean.

This isn't right, Ellie.

You and me, we have to-- - No, no, no!

I love you, and we're gonna make this work, we're going to.

Why does love have to be so complicated?

Why couldn't I have just stayed loving Jack

and lived happily ever after?

Why did things have to change?

(sobbing)

I never meant to hurt you.

- No, but you did.

- I tried not to.

I'm so sorry.

Please just say that you forgive me

and we can still be friends?

(sobbing)

- I don't exactly know what Lex is up to,

but he's definitely up to something.

- So, tell me something I don't already know.

- Well, you told me to keep an eye on him

and report to you.

- Sure.

When you got something to report.

- Well, for starters, he's not obeying

your orders about the Technos.

- Like how?

- Like mixing it with them!

He's starting in on these two guys.

I mean, if I hadn't have been there.

- Right.

(clicking tongue)

Oh, what did you do?

- Oh, I reminded him about what you said.

- And that stopped him?

Lex?

- Sure.

He wasn't happy, mind.

- No.

- You going somewhere special?

- That's my business.
