- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

(soft music)

- So it's true,

you were one of Ram's prisoners?

- Come to finish me off, Ebony?

- I gotta admit, you're a hard woman

to keep down, Amber.

I can't even play a little computer game

without you showing up trying to spoil my fun.

- For your information, that was no game.

- Then why did you attack me?

- Because I had to.

- Amber, are you okay?

- What's wrong with her?

- Nothing, I'm fine, really.

- What's this about a computer game?

Are you involved with these Technos, Ebony?

Using people as pawns in some game?

'Cause if you are, I--

- No, I don't know know anything.

Ram took me into his virtual play room

and showed me some stuff, before I knew it,

we were being attacked.

She was there, trying to waste me.

All I did was defend myself.

Go ahead, ask her.

- Amber?

- When you're in the game, it's get or be got.

If you get hit, you lose a life.

- But if you score a hit you get one back.

Like in the arcades.

- And you expect me to believe you're not involved in this?

- I don't care what you think.

Ram is giving me a hard enough time without all this.

If he finds out you guys broke into his lab--

- He is not going to find out though.

Unless of course you sold out to the Technos, Ebony,

and I can't image you'd do such a thing.

- Well Ebony has been doing deals on our behalf.

Mostly.

- Look, I'm out there every day protecting all of you.

How long do you think the Mallrats would have lasted

against the Technos without me?

- Well, now you have a perfect opportunity

to prove your loyalty.

- How about it, Ebony?

You gonna turn us in?

- Wait and see.

- Ebony!

- Let her go.

- Look, maybe we should find somewhere else to live

- You're not going anywhere.

- Except back to bed.

Amber, you're in no condition.

Let us worry about Ebony.

(soft music)

- I can't stay long.

- You okay babe?

You look terrible, what's wrong?

- I can't handle this.

- I know, if you're upset because I missed our date--

- No, it's not that.

It's Java, Lex.

- Is that all?

- Are you kidding?

What if she tells Ram about us?

- What if she does?

What are you, his property or something?

- Yes, actually.

Look, I think we should, you know, cool it for a while.

- What?

Because of Java?

She's your sister, she's not gonna rat on you.

- You don't know her like I do.

- Come sit down.

- No, Lex, I'm scared.

- Nothing's gonna happen, I promise.

Come and sit down and we'll talk this through, okay?

You know what this is really about, don't you?

- What?

- She's jealous.

- Of me?

- Of us.

Of what we've got.

She's jealous of this.

- Don't Lex.

(kissing)

- And this.

(kissing)

(soft music)

And this.

(laughing)

(soft music)

- Ebony!

- Let me guess, you tried insults, but that didn't work.

Now you're gonna beg for your life.

Am I getting warm?

- Not my life,

Amber's.

You have no idea what she's been through.

- What?

You mean losing Bray?

No I can't imagine what that feels like.

- Come on, Ebony, you can't support these monsters,

what they're doing to people.

- I don't support anybody but myself, okay?

- Yeah, and that is what I'm afraid of.

- What happened to you two anyway?

Why didn't you get out while you had the chance?

- We stayed with the Echos for a while,

or what's left of them.

And I promise, Ebony, that as soon

as Amber's strong enough, we're gonna go back.

Our babies are there.

I just want you to know that whatever you might think

of me or Amber, we are no threat to the Technos

or to you.

(soft music)

- How many fingers am I holding up?

- Four.

- Good, you're still a bit shaken up though,

but after a bit of rest, you should be all right.

- Thanks.

- Chloe!

Are you going out?

- What does it look like?

- I'm sorry to keep nagging, but you could at least

tell us where you're going.

- Why?

- In case you get in any trouble.

- What possible trouble could I get into?

- You're going out with Ved?

- I can take care of myself!

- What's wrong with her?

- Nothing, apparently.

- Hmm, well how's Amber?

- She's okay.

- Is she up for talking?

- Why?

- No reason.

Looks like you got your hands full.

- So which is better?

Reality specs or the real thing?

- I think we both know the answer to that.

Why else would I be here?

- Well, you could be spying on me.

- Oh yeah?

Like you Mallrats are such a big threat tot he Technos.

Get real, Lex.

- Could be.

There's all sorts of things going on

that you don't know about.

Actually, that's the reason I couldn't make it yesterday.

- What kinda stuff?

- Come back to bed and I might tell you.

- Get real.

I'm spending way too much time here.

Java's warned me already.

If it gets back to Ram--

- She's not gonna say anything.

- How do you know?

- She gave me the same line

and nothing's happened yet, has it?

- She spoke to you?

- She was here yesterday.

- You mean she knows about this place?

- So what?

- Why didn't you tell me?

- What are you getting so excited about?

- I need my head examined.

- Siva!

(soft music)

- Remember the Locos?

I always used to think,

at least it can't get any worse than this.

But you know what?

So it was a pussy cat.

- Hey, try not to think about it.

- Amber, you okay?

We thought we'd lost you there for a while.

- I feel like I lost myself.

- Amber, is there anything you can me

about this technology, how it works?

- Not much.

You're looking at a screen, but it wraps around

so you can't turn away.

You can close your eyes, but when you open them,

sometimes it's pretty and sometimes it's scary.

You can walk or run wherever you want,

but the trouble is, so can they.

- They?

- The enemy.

Springing out at you from behind every doorway, every tree.

Just keep coming at you over and over again,

trying to get you, and there's no where to run

and it just goes on and on and on.

(soft music)

- You wanted to see me?

- Did you get my gift?

- Chocolates.

Very nice.

- I chose the hard centers.

Was that right?

- How did you guess?

- And uh, how are those flowers doing?

We said that once they wilted--

- I'd give you my answer, I know.

But they're still going strong, they're beautiful.

- And so are you.

But I still want my answer.

- Isn't there a small problem with your idea, Ram?

Having my sisters and I for your wives?

I mean, we don't get on, you've seen it for yourself.

Whenever we're together--

- Don't be avert, Ebony.

This feud with your sisters,

I can make it disappear like that.

I will give you more time,

but not too much more.

Do we understand each other?

(soft music)

- Everything okay?

- It is now you're here.

Let's go somewhere, let's just get out of here.

- What is it?

What was Ram talking about?

- Oh, computers, the usual stuff.

That guy gives me the creeps.

- Try working for him.

- Did you find out any more about the raid?

- I know where it happened, that's about all.

- Jay, do you trust me?

- Right now, you're the only one I trust.

- I know who did it.

- The raid?

- It was the Mallrats.

They sprung some kids, one of them was Amber.

I told you about her, she's a big shot in the city.

She'd have been their leader but--

- Don't tell me, you had other plans?

- It wasn't like that.

- Why are you telling met his, Ebony?

- I don't like the way he treats you.

You're a general, but he's freezing you out.

Whereas if it turns out you're the only one

who knows what's going on--

- If only that were true.

I want to check the facts first.

Starting with this software land.

- Well, how you gonna get through their security?

- By ordering them to let me in.

Like you said, I'm a general.

Wanna come?

- Didn't they ever take this helmet thing off?

- Only for sleeping and eating.

They were testing our endurance.

- Seems we got to you just in time.

- The worst part, the game, it gets inside your head.

After a while you can't even sleep.

You close your eyes and you're right back in there.

This one time I, I thought I saw Bray.

I called out to him and he,

he just looked straight through me

and turned and walked away.

I tried to follow him, but I lost him.

(crying)

(soft music)

- You've been with him.

- Why do you say that?

- Don't lie to me, Siva!

- I wanted to tell you, I did see Lex today.

But it was only to say goodbye.

- You broke it off with him.

Really?

- Really.

- Good, now you're being sensible.

- I did what you asked, and I don't want

to hear it anymore.

- What do you mean I can't go in?

You don't tell me where I can and can't go.

- I'm sorry, sir, Ram's orders.

I have the authorization.

- Yeah?

How's this for authorization.

Step away, soldier, I don't want you to get hurt.

- Jay.

What's up?

I'll take over from here.

Come on in.

(soft music)

After what you said,

I thought I'd check this place out for myself.

I thought Ram was exaggerating, you know how he is.

Then I soon discovered how much fun these guys were having.

I mean, if that's not happiness,

then I don't know what is.

- Yeah, looks that way.

- I've been asking around lately.

Seems to me those guys that got busted out

didn't even wanna go.

- Is that so?

- Absolutely, I mean, who'd wanna leave this?

And their leaders?

The guys who busted them out?

They had to beg them to leave.

They've been having so much fun here.

- Well Jay, I said you were being paranoid.

- Hey, could happen to anyone.

It's like I said, Ram overreacted.

But these guys are just coming up to try out this stuff.

You want me to hook you up for a spin?

- Thanks Ved, maybe another time.

- No problem.

(cheering)

Knock it off!

They're gone.

Perfect.

(laughing)

- Why did you let him get away with that?

He treated you like a fool.

- We have no proof that Ved was lying.

- What?

You know as well as I do he was scamming you.

- I said we have no proof.

Everything I said of Ved goes directly back to Ram.

I have to be careful now, things are different, Ebony.

- I didn't' realize that Ved was

that deeply involved with Ram.

- Neither did I, not until today.

You know, I never saw it coming.

All this time I've been living with a genius

and I didn't even know it.

- Putting up with these people,

playing their stupid games all the time.

That makes you the genius in my books.

(soft music)

(tires screeching)

- You're late.

- Something I had to take care of.

So what's the story, Chlo?

Your place or mine?

- Neither.

- I told you to give yourself to sector six

and you still went to sector four.

What's wrong with you?

Lex,

get outta here.

- Before you say anything, I'm here on business.

- Yeah, like what?

- Uh, the power?

Yeah, the electricity.

- What about it?

- Well, I heard you were doing it in rounds,

sector by sector?

- Yes, we are, and what's that got to do with you?

- As the sherif, quite a lot actually.

I've gotta let my people know,

so they don't fry themselves.

Have you had a look out there, Java,

it's like Armageddon.

- Okay, you want to speak to the chief engineer?

Go to the lobby and ask them.

- It's what I was trying to do.

(soft music)

(beeping)

- What are you doing here?

- I can't live without you babe.

I was getting lonely, so I though, you know, we could--

- Oh no you don't.

Java--

- I've talked to Java, she's cool.

She thinks I'm here on business.

- The triage of cool.

Lex, please, you can't do this, not here.

Ram could come in any minute.

What are you gonna tell him if he finds you?

- Business.

- Please leave, now.

- Okay, I'm leaving.

Just one kiss.

One proper kiss.

- You promise?

- Vert's honor.

(soft music)

(knocking)

- Just a minute.

Yes, what do you want?

I'm in the middle of something.

- I just, I,

nothing, sorry, doesn't matter.

(soft music)

- What did you think?

- Hmm?

- Was it okay?

- Was what okay?

Oh yeah, guess so.

- Is that all you have to say about it?

- Guess so.

(soft music)

- Hi.

- How did you get in here?

- I know my way in.

I came to see Amber.

- There's no one here by--

- Please, I have no weapon.

I'm alone.

Do you honestly think I would come here like this

if I wanted to arrest her?

I just want to speak to her.

- So why do they call you Mouse?

Well I think it's pretty.

It suits you.

- Amber, there's someone to see you.

This is Jay.

- He's one of the Technos.

(soft music)

- How did it go?

The business with your brother.

- Oh, oh yeah, yeah, he bought it.

- But you're not happy, Ved.

You're thinking that perhaps I've pushed too far,

overstepped the mark.

- No, no, not at all.

I don't mind doing it, I mean, I wanted Jay

off my back as much as you did.

- He's a good man, your brother, an honest man.

But he doesn't see the larger picture as we do, does he Ved?

He's forever stuck in this world

while you and I roam the universe.

(door opening)

- We've been robbed.

- What?

- Computers, half a dozen of them taken

from the store some time today.

- How could this happen?!

Where was security?!

I mean first the lab and now this?

What is going on around here?!

(yelling)

(soft music)

- I know I'm being sold a lie, just looking

at you I can tell that--

- What do you want?

- Just,

to see for myself.

- And then what?

- I don't know.

- Look, maybe you should go.

- No.

I wanna hear this.

I wanna know if he thinks it was all worth it.

Laying waste to an entire city,

taking our friends, and just for a bunch of torturers

who won't even tell their generals what's going on?

- I tried to bring about a new society.

I tried my best.

- Yeah?

Well your best wasn't good enough.

It wasn't nearly good enough.

(soft music)

- One more for the road?

- No.

- You're the life and soul tonight.

- Yeah, sorry.

- Anything on your mind?

- You don't wanna know.

- Well, I'm going back to the mall.

You coming?

- You know, I think I'm just gonna

take a bit of a walk and clear my head.

- Suit yourself, goodnight.

- Night, Dee.

(soft music)

- How do we know we can trust you?

- You don't.

- Well then, why should I let you leave?

- I told certain people I cam here.

I haven't completely lost it, Pride.

You say that Amber was the leader of this tribe once?

- Not just this one.

- I can see why.

Well, I better go.

- Hey Chloe, did you have a nice time?

- Not bad.

(soft music)

(owl hooting)

- Siva?

Java?

Nice work.

- Hi Lex.

Thinking of going digital?

- What is this?

- Well it's really quite simple.

That's stolen property, and we're here to take it back.

- Wait a minute, I don't know anything that.

- Well don't worry, you can tell Ram all about it.

I should warn you though, he's in a pretty bad mood.

- Get outta here.

- Don't worry, we're leaving, and you're coming too.

I hope you know a good lawyer, Lex,

'cause you're under arrest.
