- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

- Mouse!

Mouse!

Patch, have you seen Mouse?

- Salene, I'm cooking.

- Jay, have you seen Mouse?

- What?

- Never mind.

Pride?

Was she in her room?

- No, I haven't seen her.

- She's forever wandering around.

It drives me crazy.

Where are you going?

- To look for Mouse, that's what you wanted, isn't it?

- No, well, yeah, but what about breakfast?

Patch is making pancakes.

- I'm not hungry.

- Come on, get on with it.

Don't be such a crybaby.

- I'm not crying!

- Well, you better get on with your work.

No coal, no codes, and without your special codes,

you won't be able to finish your game.

- [Salene] Mouse!

- Hi.

Hello?

- Hi.

- You look terrible.

- Thanks.

- You wanna talk about it?

- Why?

So you can tell your boss how much of a loser I am?

- What?

You think I'm some kind of spy?

- Well, are you?

What are you doing here otherwise?

- I could ask you the same question.

If you can come around to the Mall Rats' point of view,

why can't I?

- That's not it.

- What, then?

- I don't know.

It's odd, you being with Lex, that's all.

Turning your life upside down, giving up everything.

I thought it would've been something else.

- If that's what you think, you are so wrong!

(sighing)

- Curse her!

- Ebony?

- Yes, Ebony.

And her filthy germs.

- I tried to warn you, but you wouldn't listen.

- Don't lecture me, Java.

- Someone has to.

Have you forgotten what happened last time,

how close you came?

(sighing)

Come on, drink this.

- I don't want it.

- Please, Ram, for me?

- Will you stop fussing?

Where's Ved, he was meant to be here 10 minutes ago.

- He'll be here.

At least we know we can trust Ved, unlike his brother.

After all you did for Jay, he walks out on you.

Unbelievable.

- Don't you worry about Jay.

I've got plans for him.

He's a traitor, and he'll be dealt with like a traitor.

- But don't delete him.

- What's on your mind?

- You wanna see the traitor suffer, don't you?

I thought we might pay a little visit.

(sniffling)

- I want a complete itinerary of all market traders.

Issue a license to each existing stall holder.

Name, tribe, all the blurb.

New pictures are suspended until further notice.

- Paperwork?

- It's called administration.

One would think you couldn't do it.

- [Siva] I've decided no hard feelings, okay?

- Yeah, look, I'm sorry about what I said before.

It was none of my business.

- Wow, Patch!

That was great.

- I heard you'd taken an interest in cooking.

And I thought you might like to borrow this.

- Oh, thanks, Patch.

You're a sweetheart.

- What was that all about?

- What?

- You and Jay.

He said it was none of his business?

- Oh, that's right.

And it's none of yours, either.

- Bad night?

- Couldn't sleep.

- Ram, Ved?

- Both.

One's lost it, the other's,

well, the other's just lost.

- Jay, no one would blame you

if you decided to leave the city.

It might be for the best.

- I had a vision, and now it's in ruins.

I wanted a better city.

I wanted to make a difference.

- You have made a difference.

What about the hospital?

No way would we have got that without you.

Maybe you should stop thinking about us

and start thinking about yourself.

'cause Ram's gonna want revenge.

- So what, I just leave?

- Do you two want pancakes?

Come on, guys, help me out here.

(beeping)

- Oh, and I was just about to win!

No, I can't have used them all.

I paid more than this.

I can't believe this.

- You get it all?

- Yep.

12 bottles of vintage champagne.

- Excellent.

Pitch 17.

You can move in immediately,

it's on the other end of the markets.

- You said prime position.

- That was yesterday.

You can take it or leave it.

You've already been trading here for two months.

- Here, give it to me.

You're such a weedy weakling.

- I can't help it.

- I'm sorry about what I said before.

It's not your fault you're little.

- It's all there?

- Sure, all 11 bottles.

- There should be 12.

- Come on, mate, it's tough work, lugging that case around.

Anyway, 11 bottles must be worth, what,

11 codes, right?

- I'll give you nine.

- 10.

(sighing)

- Aren't you gonna count 'em?

- I trust ya.

- Let's keep it that way.

- Well done.

- Pride, I didn't see you there, mate.

- Dealing with the enemy?

How low can you go, Lex?

- It's not what it looks like.

- What, have you totally lost it?

What would Salene say if she found out about this?

Her own deputy sheriff.

- She's not gonna find out, though, is she?

- Okay.

I'll go with that.

As long as you tell me why you're deliberately

playing into Ram's plan.

- It's business.

- And business is booming.

Come on, Lex, you can't deal with the Technos.

Hand 'em over.

- Get out of here.

- Why?

We'll never discuss this again,

and Salene will never be any the wiser.

- That's blackmail, Pride.

- I guess it is.

- Okay.

You win, I'll destroy them.

- No, I'll destroy them.

You've done the right thing.

(ominous music)

(shouting)

- Hey, you!

Stop, this is the sheriff, and I command you to stop!

(groaning)

That was my makeup, you punks!

- Okay, bud, let's play.

- They're thugs.

They don't care.

I mean, where's it all going to end?

- Tribal war?

- They wear these bands.

If a blue sees a red in the middle of the street,

they hit first and question later.

Someone is gonna get really hurt.

- Dee, Mouse is out there somewhere.

- Thanks for helping me.

- Forget it.

What have you got there?

One code?

That is so stingy.

- If it hadn't have been for you,

I wouldn't have got anything.

(gasping)

- Give me your codes or I'll cut all your hair off.

- No, please!

- You too, come on.

- Come on, give it!

- You know, you two shouldn't be out without a chaperone.

These streets are dangerous.

Bad people everywhere.

- You just wait til I get bigger!

- Hi, Jay.

You made the right decision, leaving Ram.

- We both did.

- Who would've thought we would end up here?

- Look, I'm sorry about earlier.

I just find it hard, seeing you and Lex as an item.

- You don't know him.

He comes on as this bad boy, but underneath all that,

he's compassionate, tender.

- You love him.

- Yeah, is that wrong?

- No.

On the contrary, all the people I've ever loved

have fallen by the wayside.

One way or another.

- You're worried, aren't you?

- About Lex?

You've convinced me.

- No, I mean about Ram.

- Aren't you?

- He's cut me off.

As far as he's concerned, I don't exist.

Besides, he's got Ebony now.

I was never a match for her anyway, but you?

You're a threat.

You know too much.

Maybe you should make a run for it

while you've still go the chance.

- That's what Salene said.

- Well, isn't this cozy?

Don't let me interrupt, I just thought

some champagne would help the party go with a swing.

- What are you talking about?

- Is this new, or have you guys always

had a thing for each other?

- Now, look.

- No, you look, pal, and you listen.

Stay away from my girl, you hear me?

- Just today, or from now on?

- I don't want you anywhere near her.

- Take your hands off me.

- Lex, it's not like that.

We were only--

- I could see what you were doing.

- We were chatting.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

(somber music)

Whatever.

- What's to celebrate?

(sighing)

(beeping)

- Something on your mind, Ved?

- [Ved] What do you mean?

- You know what I mean.

You programmed the computer.

- Me and Ram.

The programming took months, and now we're free

to manipulate anything we want.

From Virt land, reality space.

All it needed was brain power and fuel.

- You're so clever.

- Look at this.

This is image manipulation.

- What's that?

- It's when you take one image from one location

and superimpose it into another.

Like, remember that time when your sisters and Ram

hung out at the beach?

And he's never been there with you.

Well, there's a first time for everything, right?

Watch.

- What else can they do?

- Let me see, uh, they can hold hands.

- Hey, what are you doing?

- Well, there's a lot more that I can do,

but I think that's enough for now.

Fun, isn't it?

- It's brilliant.

(beeping)

And it all makes sense.

- Don't you have a fantasy, Ebony?

- Is this the way you treat all your girlfriends?

You give them a present, and then you insult them?

Well?

Wanna know what we were talking about?

- Not especially.

- We were talking about you.

Jay didn't know what I saw in you.

- Oh, and what did you tell him?

- I told him that you were kind.

Tender, I think, was the word I used.

That you only acted tough, but underneath all that

you were a really nice guy.

Thanks for making me look like a fool

as well as a two-timing tart.

- Look, I--

Siva.

- Hey, champagne!

Is it your birthday?

- I wish.

- Then all we need is a cake, right?

Why didn't you say?

Look what I got.

Flour and sugar.

Reckon you can find a recipe?

- I reckon I can.

- Hey, we could make it together, if you like.

- I'd like that, Patch.

I'd like that very much.

- Well, where were you?

You can't just hike off whenever it suits you.

It's dangerous out there.

- I, I...

Went out for fresh air.

- Well, it doesn't look like you found any.

Look at you, you're filthy.

- You told me fresh air would make me grow

big and strong, just like you.

- Okay.

Just let me know next time.

Off you go.

(sighing)

- What on earth is up with you?

- What do you think?

- That reality space thing.

You know, when they superimpose images

so it looks like you're there with someone,

but you're not with them at all?

- Yeah, it's mega, isn't it?

Ram's so clever.

- I saw Amber in there once, in one of the games.

Does that mean she's in the database,

or whatever they call it?

I mean, could they use her image?

- Yeah, I guess so, from when they were doing

those experiments on her.

But you know that was all exaggerated.

Most of those kids were volunteers,

and they enjoyed it too.

- Yeah.

- But I guess you know all that.

You're with us now.

You're just like me.

After all, we are sisters.

Don't you think it's about time we get to know each other?

- I know you, Java.

Just like Siva.

You'd both stab each other in the back if you could benefit.

So don't play friendly sister with me.

- Hi.

- Jenny, are you okay?

- Yeah, thanks to you.

- It was Patch, mainly.

I just fetched and carried.

- I was wondering--

- Yes?

- If you needed any help.

I used to be a first aider, before the virus.

Medical family.

It would be my way of saying thank you to you.

- We could do with all the help we can get.

When can you start?

- Now?

(glass breaking)

(suspenseful music)

- Don't you ever want those fantasies to come true?

With me, they could.

(beeping)

- Oh, gosh.

How stupid.

Oh, Jay.

Jay.

- Some party.

What happened in here?

- We heard this noise--

- But we were too late, they'd already gone.

- And this is the present they left behind.

- Patch, you must have seen them.

- I wasn't here.

Dee sent a message to the mall.

- Why are you covered in dust, then?

- What?

Oh, it's flour.

I was, um, baking a cake.

- I don't understand.

Who would trash a hospital, who would stoop so low?

- I've got a pretty good idea.

- You've got such great bone structure.

You really don't make the best of yourself.

Natural beauty takes a lot of hard work.

- Then you can't call it natural.

- Oh, don't be ridiculous.

You're beautiful, Java.

More so than your sisters.

- Really?

- The Techno queen.

- Yes.

- But you must be aware of your sisters.

- You don't think I can trust them.

- You know you can't.

But you can trust me.

Together, we can defeat them.

- Thanks for coming, guys, I appreciate it.

Look, this is my fault, okay?

They're getting me back.

- Would you stop beating yourself up about this?

If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even have a hospital.

- Well, we don't, not now.

- So what's next?

Do we hit the Technos back?

- We've got no proof, just my gut feeling.

- Look, the city is crawling with gangs

wanting to fight each other.

It could've been any one of them.

- I don't know if I should stick around

with you guys any more, okay?

There are people out there who obviously

still see me as part of the Technos.

And they're prepared to destroy anything I try to achieve.

What do you think, Pride?

- Maybe Jay's right, Salene.

He could be in danger.

They targeted the hospital today,

probably thought he was there.

The mall could be next.

- Just because things are tough right now

doesn't mean we turn our backs on our friends.

It's not the Mall Rat way.

- Thanks.

But Pride's got a point.

- Remember what Ved said.

Not everyone's playing the game,

not everyone's being scanned.

We should be recruiting them.

- Dee's right.

Ved thinks there are heaps of unscanned kids out there

that Ram doesn't even know about.

We've gotta find them.

- Train them up, you mean?

- Like the old militia.

- Exactly.

We can totally turn this thing around.

Look at us, we're sitting around moping

when we should be out there fighting back.

- I appreciate it.

But if any of you guys got hurt,

I'd never be able to live with myself.

- Jay.

- I'm sorry, guys.

(somber music)

(bell ringing)

- This should keep you going.

- For a month.

- If at first you don't succeed.

- Give up and head for the hills?

- I didn't mean it like that.

- If you see Ebony--

- It's not likely.

- Yeah, but if you do, tell her I say hi.

- Sure.

- And my brother.

- Ved?

No way.

- He's still my brother, no matter what.

Things may change, Siva.

Well, thanks again.

(somber music)

- Jay?

Are you leaving?

But you can't.

- Thought you'd be pleased.

- Look, don't go.

I'm sorry.

For everything, I've been a complete fool.

- I'm sorry, Ebony, it's kinda late for that.

- I know.

But just stay long enough to see this.

Please.

- What is it?

- My worst nightmare.

Jay.

Please.

I was wrong.
