- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

- Ellie?

Ellie, look at me.

You can't stay like this forever.

That's a start, I suppose.

Listen, Ellie, I know how you feel.

Really, I do, I've been there before.

- What do you want?

- Have you been taking stuff from the food store?

Listen, I remember when things got really rough for me,

and I used to take food and stuff myself stupid.

I'd feel better for a while, but then

I'd feel guilty and throw it up.

- I haven't taken anything.

- Ellie, it's an illness called bulimia.

I don't want to see you start down that road.

- I don't do that.

- Are you sure?

- I haven't eaten anything for days.

I couldn't.

- Ellie, if you carry on like this,

you could do yourself some serious damage.

- Good.

- Ellie, don't.

- It'd solve everything.

Everything.

- You totally sure she doesn't suspect anything?

- Not a thing.

Like leading a lamb to the slaughter.

- Except Ebony's no lamb.

- Thought she was so clever, trapping me like that.

- Yeah, that's our Ebony.

Always thought she was smarter than anybody else.

- I can't wait to see her face when we put her straight.

- Right.

This I'm gonna enjoy.

- We've waited long enough.

Only thing is, how do we get out

without Jay asking questions?

- No problem, sister.

Come on.

- Remember what I told you about May?

About how I didn't really love her?

Well, I ended up hurting her.

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

I don't love you, and I'm not gonna lie to you.

- Listen.

Have you been helping yourself to the food store?

I just wanna say, you don't have to.

I mean, I'm not gonna let you starve

while you're here with us.

I promise.

Have you taken food from the food store

and maybe hidden it away for safekeeping?

Are you sure?

Okay, I believe you,

but just remember what I said, okay?

- There's a bug in here someplace.

- There can't be.

- Go check it out, and report back to me

when you've found it.

- If you say so.

- I do.

Now, move it.

- [Ved] Hi there, big brother.

- What do you want?

- Yeah, it's nice to see you too.

- Ah, where do you think you're going?

- Into town, to get some air.

Maybe have a little bit of fun.

- Uh-uh.

It's not secure yet.

The matrix isn't complete.

- So?

- So it's not safe, especially for you.

After your last couple of skirmishes,

you're about as popular out there

as a swarm of wasps at a picnic.

- Anybody tries to swat me, I've got my zapper.

- Yeah, that's what bothers me.

- He'll be okay, Jay.

- I said no.

- We'll be there to keep an eye on him.

- You?

With him?

- Ram's orders.

- Watch his back and keep his nose clean.

- Ram said this?

- You know what a soft spot he's got for Ved.

- And how mad he'd get if anything happened to him.

- Where is Ram?

Doesn't he need you?

- Not for a while.

He's resting.

- Oh, and uh, don't worry, bro.

I shan't lose anything this time.

Not even my cool.

(screaming)

- Hey, Sal, what's cooking?

- Not much.

- What do you mean not much?

I'm starving.

- Well, I'm sorry, Lex, but we're running low

on just about everything.

- That doesn't surprise me.

You keep feeding every lame dog in the city.

- They hardly eat anything.

- Okay.

Well, that looks good, I'll have that, then.

- No.

- Sal, you could've taken my hand off.

- This is for Ellie.

- Another loser.

- She's had a tough time.

- We've all had a tough time.

- She hasn't eaten in days, Lex.

- Well, she won't want that, then, will she?

- If she doesn't eat soon, she could get really sick.

- Fine.

That's one less mouth to feed, right?

- Lex, you!

- Get off me, Salene!

- What's going on?

- Get her off me!

- Easy now, easy, cool it.

- She's a maniac.

And as for these two--

- If you ever say a thing like that again,

I swear I'll do something you never

thought I was capable of.

- You can't take a joke, huh?

- What is it, what did he do to you?

- Don't you worry, boy, I never laid a finger on her.

- It's okay.

It's okay, kids, I'm sorry.

- You need my help?

- What I need is more food.

How am I expected to feed everyone

if I have no supplies?

- Okay, I'll go get some.

- You will?

- Yeah, what's so funny about that?

- How do you expect to do that, nature boy?

The markets are pretty much empty.

You need contacts.

Have you got any contacts?

- I'll manage somehow.

- Sure you will.

But will we survive that long?

- Woo!

Jay, come here, come see this, man, it's wicked.

It's wicked.

- I thought you were resting.

- Me, resting?

Where did you get that idea?

- I think we need to talk.

- Hey, don't be scared.

It'll be okay, I promise.

- You sure about that?

- Yeah.

Hey, I'm sorry about shouting at you before.

- Oh, that's okay.

I guess you were pretty wound up.

Better go see what I can find.

- Good luck.

- Cloe, hi.

- Hi, Pride, how are you today?

- Fine, I'm fine, how about you?

- Me, oh, I'm fine.

- Great, um.

Well, can't stop.

- Cloe, just the person I need.

- What for?

- Can you take this to Ellie?

- Why?

She lost the use of her legs?

- She's not well.

- Is it catching?

- She's really depressed.

- So am I, I don't get waited on.

- I want you to take it to her,

and see if you can persuade her to eat it.

- Why me?

- Because I'm busy, and there's nobody else.

Please.

- Oh, all right, then.

- Can you sit with her for a while?

I'm really worried about her.

(sighing)

(upbeat music)

- There you go, Ved, baby.

Just remember, don't do nothing we wouldn't do.

- What do you mean?

You ain't coming in?

- Uh-uh, not this time, kid.

- This is your treat.

We've got one of our own waiting for us.

- But I thought you, and you, and me, were gonna, you know?

- In your dreams, baby.

(laughing)

- Hi, Ellie, chow time.

Ellie?

- I don't want anything.

- Salene says you've got to.

She's gone to a lot of trouble,

I brought it all the way here.

You might at least try it.

- I just want to be left alone.

- Yeah, I know how you feel.

People fussing over you all the time,

treating you like you're a kid.

- Cloe.

- Yeah?

- Go away.

- Okay then, if that's the way you want it.

- So, where's all the action?

- I guess you picked a quiet day.

- Yeah?

- Hi there, mind if I sit down?

You wanna buy me a drink?

- Where's all the pretty girls?

I'm not interested in just anybody.

(sentimental music)

- See ya.

- We don't have much time.

I want you to come away with me, now.

- Away with you, why?

- Because, because I love you.

- Cloe, where are you going?

- Out.

- Like that?

- What's wrong with me?

- What about Ellie?

Did you give her the food?

- Of course I did.

She wouldn't eat it, though, ungrateful cow.

- I asked you to stay with her.

- And she told me to go away, so I went.

- So you left her alone?

Cloe, you want to be an adult,

you've got to learn to take responsibility.

Show some thought for others.

Now go back and help Ellie.

- No, I don't want to.

You can't tell me what to do, Salene,

you're not my mother.

- Cloe, please.

- I'm going out.

- Cloe.

- What?

- Be careful.

- Here's your chance, Lex.

- What do you mean?

- Your chance to be a hero.

Reckon you can take 'em both?

- Just shut it and smile, okay?

Hey, guys.

- Well, what do we have here?

- I declare it, it's gotta be the sheriff.

- Yee-haw.

- Howdy, Sheriff.

Where's your horse?

- Have a nice day, y'all.

- We surely will, Sheriff.

We surely will.

- Hey, Sheriff, I'm impressed.

- Cut it out, will ya?

- No, seriously.

Such self-control, such willpower.

- Is that what you're gonna report to Ebony, is it?

- What are you talking about?

- Come on, Dee, I'm not stupid.

I know you're Ebony's snitch.

- So what are you gonna do about it?

- I'll think of something.

- Hey, I don't have to tell her everything, you know.

- I should hope not.

- My friends are very, very hungry.

- Shhh.

- [Pride] Could you spare some food?

- What?

- Just keep out of sight.

- Just a couple of cans.

Nothing?

You won't give me anything?

- No way, Tofu Boy, no way.

- Thanks for nothing, cheapskate.

- Look, you carry on, and I'll catch up with you later.

- Why?

- I've just got someone I've gotta see.

A bit of private business.

But don't worry, it's nothing that'll bother Ebony.

(ominous music)

- Anybody there?

Jay?

Hello?

Who's there?

(laughing)

What?

What is this?

What's going on?

- Hi there, little sister.

- What's up?

You never seen a ghost before?

(sobbing)

(upbeat music)

- No more bets, no more bets.

18 red.

- Ooh, you lost again.

- Aw, it's getting kinda tedious, anyway.

- Can we have some more champagne?

- Get lost.

Hi there, honey.

What's a nice girl like you doing in a dive like this?

- Looking for a good time.

- I like her, I like her a lot.

You hear that?

Get this nice little lady a drink,

and make it special.

- You sure about this?

- Just serve the drinks, man.

- That's right, just serve the drinks.

(sobbing)

- No, what are you doing?

Shoo, go away.

Get out of here.

Please.

What do you want?

- Eat.

- Thank you.

- You got nothing to say, Ebony?

- Cat got your tongue?

- Thought you'd never see us again, right?

- Right.

Okay, what are you doing here, and what do you want?

- What we're doing here is our business.

- And what we want is you.

- It's payback time, little sister.

- Payback for all the harm you've done us.

- Payback for all your wickedness.

- For Ma and Pa.

- And everything.

- You can't.

- Oh, but we can.

- And we will.

- Goodbye, Ebony.

I wish I could say it's been nice knowing ya.

- Goodbye, and good riddance.

- Hold it right there.

- Jay!

- This is family business, Jay, stay out of it.

- Enough.

Leave her.

- What are you doing here, anyway?

- We've been tracking you, monitoring you.

- We?

- [Jay] Me and Ram.

- Ram?

- Yeah, and he is not pleased.

He wants to see you both, now.

- We ain't done with you.

- Yet.

- Move!

- I guess you saved my life.

- Yeah.

- How can I thank you?

- You can't.

Come on.

- Where?

- Back to base.

Ram wants to see you, too.

(upbeat music)

- You okay?

- Fine, I'm fine.

- You sure?

- Look, just cut the talk and keep the drinks coming, okay?

- If you say so, okay.

- Beats me how a pretty girl like you

don't have a regular boyfriend.

- You think I'm pretty?

- I'd go even further, and say you're beautiful.

Sexy.

- Sexy?

- Sure.

Come here.

You like that?

- Yeah.

What?

Was it all right?

- Oh, yeah, sure, not bad.

For a beginner.

- What?

- Um, that's it for now.

- I don't understand.

- Look, school's over, kid.

Go run back to your mommy,

and your little teddy bear.

You still have a teddy bear, don't you?

- But all those things you said.

- You didn't think I was serious, did you?

What do you think I am, a cradle-snatcher?

- I'm not a kid any more, I'm not.

- Okay, you're a stupid little girl.

Now get outta here.

Girls, let's get this show on the road.

(somber music)

- What is this?

- Food.

- Food?

Toadstools?

- Well, it's all I could manage today.

I'll have to go out again tomorrow and--

- How am I expected to feed everybody on this?

- It's all very edible, I assure you,

and very nutritious.

- Yeah, if you're a bird or a rabbit.

What's Lex gonna say when I dish this up to him?

- Well, if all you're concerned about

is what Lex is gonna say, then--

- That's not what I meant.

- Well, that's what it sounded like to me.

You don't know what it's like out there.

- No, but I--

- Hi.

- Cloe.

Where have you been, I've been worried.

- You shouldn't have been.

I can look--

I can look after myself.

- You sure can.

Did you have fun?

- Yeah, I had a great time.

It was lovely.

- Cloe, are you okay?

You look a bit--

- I'm fine.

I think I'll go freshen up.

(retching)

- Anything worth getting?

- Nah, it's all a load of rubbish.

So, you get what you was after?

- Yeah, just calling in a favor a guy owed me.

- So you got a deal going, then?

- Maybe.

- Feel like cutting me in?

- You?

What do you know about deals?

- More than you think.

I keep my eyes open.

- And what do you see?

- Well, for instance, the night before

the raid of the Technos.

- What?

- I see their head honcho visiting Ebony.

- Yeah?

- Hmm.

So why has she said nothing about it?

What's she up to?

(sniffling)

(somber music)

- So, this is Ebony.

- And you must be Ram.

- Germs.

- I've heard a lot about you.

- And all of it bad, I guess, if it came from those two.

- They do seem to hold some sort of a grudge, yes.

- Grudge?

They were gonna waste me today.

- I know, but I decided to press Escape.

- Yeah, that's something you're gonna regret, Ram.

- I don't think so.

- You don't know her like we do.

- She's poison.

- Ooh, is that so, Ebony?

Are you poison?

- Me?

Only to my enemies.

(laughing)

- I like it, I like it.

And to your friends?

- She ain't got no friends.

- To my friends, I'm milk and honey.

- She's never had a friend in her life.

- Jealousy can be such a terrible thing,

don't you think, Ram?

You ever heard of what they used to call sibling rivalry?

(laughing)

- I love it, I love it.

Terrific, don't you think so, Jay?

Just terrific.

- Yeah, terrific.

- Don't listen to her, Ram.

She's like a virus.

You gotta delete her before she corrupts the system.

- Yeah, delete her.

Delete her now.

- I don't think so.

I don't want anything bad to happen

to my new friend Ebony, you hear me?

Nothing!

And just to make sure, I'm gonna provide her

with some protection.

Bodyguards.

- Bodyguards?

- That's right.

You and you.

I'm giving you the job of keeping your little sister

safe from all harm.

- [Jay] What have you really got in mind, Ram?
