- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

(soft music)

- Jay, wave to the camera.

- I tried to warn you.

Ebony betrays everyone.

Ram?

Are you okay?

Ram!

Ebony, you little.

(yelling)

- Reds are weak!

Reds are nothing!

- This is getting out of hand.

- I don't think this was part of the plan.

- Vos, Miranda, come on!

(yelling)

- You better hope you find Jay before they do.

(yelling)

- That's not a good place to rest.

- Ha, Pride.

- We need to get you out of the cit, now.

- Not without Ebony.

- Oh great, as if you weren't conspicuous enough.

- Look, he's right Jay,

maybe you'll have a better chance without me.

- No, I am not leaving without Ebony.

- Okay, all right.

I think I got an idea.

(soft music)

(yelling)

- Java to all units, listen up, the game is over.

Repeat, the game is over.

Get the city tidied up and find Jay and Ebony.

I want them brought straight to me.

(mumbled yelling)

- What?

What?

- I'm trying to tell you it's a trap.

(soft music)

- Where's Jay?

- He's not with us.

- We won't ask again.

- We've tried telling them that we don't know.

- You heard the sheriff, now get out of here

or you'll be sorry.

- Oh really?

Haven't you noticed that you're slightly out numbered?

- As city leader, I order you to leave,

right now, get outta here!

- Maybe we should take you all on

until you give us Jay.

- You brought us down into sewage?

- Better in than out.

- This'll be helpful.

I'll go and check up ahead.

- Are you sure you want to do this?

It's not too late to turn back.

- To Ram?

Reality space luxury.

- I'd rather live in sewage with you forever

than spend a second of luxury with that creep.

- Hmm.

- Come on let's go.

(soft music)

(yelling)

- [Announcer] This is an announcement.

The game is over.

Repeat, the game is over.

Players are instructed to return to their homes.

Return to your homes.

- Why have they called the game off?

- Maybe they caught Jay.

(chanting)

- We want Jay, Jay, Jay!

We want Jay, Jay, Jay!

We want Jay!

- Why don't you just turn around and get out of here?

Jay is probably already been caught

on the other side of town, you've already lost.

- We don't like being called losers.

- When that's exactly what you are?

- I'm warning you, you'll regret coming here.

You and your little army gonna take us on?

- I can't hit a girl.

(laughing)

- Oh but I can.

- Why don't you take me on?

(yelling)

(grunting)

- Go Siva!

- Get up!

I said get up!

Get out of here!

Now don't come back, you hear?

(soft music)

- They must be somewhere.

They can't have just vanished into thin air, can they?

- Excuse me.

- Where are you--

- I will be alone.

(soft music)

- It's quiet.

- Ah, it's fresh air.

- We're safe.

- We should stay on the move.

This area might not be safe for much longer.

- Just a minute.

I wanna thank you, Pride.

- Please don't.

- No he's right, Pride.

I could never have got Jay out of the city unseen.

How'd you know about these tunnels?

- Let's just say I learned a few things

from some of the tribes that used to be on our side.

- Until they started liking what the Technos had to offer.

- Can you blame them?

Ram even had me eating out of his hand.

- Not anymore.

- No.

- Look, if you don't want my thanks,

then accept my friendship.

- You nearly died because of me, Jay.

- But I didn't.

Let's forget about who saved who and when,

and if you owe me or I owe you

for saving each other's lives.

Let's forget all that.

We're friends, and friends look out for one another.

(soft music)

- All right, get outta here.

(soft music)

- Maybe they thought he was hiding underneath the tables.

- Come on let's fix it before you start crying about it.

- You were very brave before,

standing up to them like that.

- Stupid more like it, lucky Siva showed up when she did.

- I'm glad Patch stayed back at the mall with me.

Even if it got bad, at least I knew we were in it together.

- You and Patch aye?

You were both pretty cozy before.

- What do you mean?

- Well you were tied up together, remember?

- Oh yeah,

that was the Colors, they tied us up.

- I know.

- But they wouldn't take no for an answer.

Actually, Patch said something to me

before all this happened.

- What was it?

- He said that he loved me.

- That's slightly full on, at least you know he's honest.

- Salene, you're not meant to say that.

- Come on Dee, we've all seen the way he looks at you.

The way he treats you, he's totally smitten.

- No he's not.

- Well, I'm gonna go check the damage

in my room and leave you two to clean up the cafe.

- What?

(soft music)

- Listen,

um, I've come to--

- Yes?

- I've come

to help.

It's a big mess, you know, can't do it all yourself.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

Whoop, oh, sorry.

- Patch.

- Yeah?

- Maybe you should go and get the mop.

- The mop.

Good idea.

Good idea.

(crashing)

- [Ved] Where is he?

- Resting.

- Resting?

He's supposed to be in control of the game, Java.

What happened?

- Maybe something made him get out of control.

- Did he call the game off?

- Might have done.

- It was you, wasn't it?

You called the game off, didn't you?

What happened?

- Guess.

- Jay escaped, right?

- Does that please you?

- Where is Ebony?

- She betrayed us too, like I always said she would.

- She's with Jay.

- Why do I get the feeling you're glad they got away?

- I just don't like the idea

of attending my brother's funeral.

- I'd dance at my sister's

out of loyalty to Ram.

- I don't think you know what loyalty means, Java.

- My troops have already been instructed

to take whatever force necessary to get everyone indoors.

No need to worry, Ved,

Jay will be caught, I promise you that.

(soft music)

- That should fix it.

- I didn't know you were a handy man.

- Only in emergencies.

- I admire practical skills.

- And I admire yours, especially when they save me

from being beaten up by a redneck.

- I am good at that, aren't I?

- I've missed my warrior woman.

- How much?

- This much.

(banging)

- Who's there?

- Hey guys.

Jay's safe.

You gonna let me in?

(soft music)

- May, you don't know how lucky you are.

You could've been wiped out back there.

(soft music)

- Ebony!

You've returned to me.

(machine buzzing)

- Hey, Pride!

You should've seen the fight against the Colors.

Siva kicked butt!

- That's great to hear, Sammy.

- Did Jay get away?

- Yes, Ebony's with him too.

They're still on the run, but they should be safe tonight.

City's so quiet, Technos forced everyone indoors.

There won't be any trouble, not tonight at least.

- Good to hear, goodnight.

- Just wait.

I want to apologize to everyone.

- Again?

- I'm tired, I'm going to bed now, night.

- Me too, night everyone.

Night, Patch.

- Goodnight.

- Whoa, guess I'm not so popular around here.

Do you believe me, Salene?

- Goodnight Lex, Sammy.

- Whoa, burned.

(soft music)

- See what I can provide for you?

Everything you could ever want.

The finest food,

ultimate VR,

and devoted attention.

- I'd like that Ram.

- Then why did you leave me?

Explain yourself.

- Ram?

- Yes Ebony?

- I'd like that Ram.

- No, no, no, just say it, tell me!

You left me!

You left me to be with,

(soft music)

I am your husband!

- Your husband.

- No!

You're my wife!

Remember?

- My wife.

No, your wife, you say, your wife.

- Your husband.

(yelling)

- Why is everything not perfect?

Why aren't I perfect?

- Your husband.

- No!

- Husband.

Hus-wife.

- I do not want to be alone!

- I'd like that.

(machine buzzing)

- Your curfew is in place, Commander Java.

- Excellent, that should settle things down.

Make sure that anyone found walking

in the city has specific business.

- A curfew won't stop the Colors fighting.

If we stop the game, we stop the rioters.

- It's not that simple.

We pull the game all together, we'll have different riots

on our hands, it's far too popular.

The game gives us a hold over the city.

If the game goes, so do we.

- Well then I'll just make them a new game.

- What kind of game?

- You'll see.

- Will it take long?

- Just give me some space.

I think I've got an idea brewing up already,

which even Ram will be impressed by.

(soft music)

- We need to get them where it hurts.

- I've already tried taking out the power station.

- No, not there, the scanning and gaming centers.

- Exactly, stop all access to the game.

- Problem solved.

- Is this a private meeting?

- No, as long as you're on our side.

- Of course I am.

- We just thought you might need a bit of sleep

after yesterday's adventure.

- Oh,

thanks for your concern.

- We need a list of what centers we'll target first,

and then we'll smash them.

My militia are wary to get out there to take Ram down.

- Wait a second,

you're planning to attack the centers

where the game's played?

- The game is causing all the unrest.

We take it away, problem solved.

- I don't think that's gonna work.

You're only gonna drive the players on the ground,

that will make it worse.

- He has got a point.

If it's not out in the open,

it's gonna make it harder to monitor.

- No, he doesn't have a point.

All he wants is easy access to the game,

isn't that right, Pride?

- I'm past that, Salene.

- I believed you once before, I can't afford

to believe you again.

- Well you can believe me, Salene.

Me and Pride know our way around the game.

You need us.

- Like a hole in the head.

- We can work to earn your trust back,

but first you have to give us a chance.

(soft music)

- I don't think you should log on Sammy.

- I'm just checking to see how the game's going.

- Don't count me in.

- Come on, Mouse, I thought you loved the game?

- I ran out of credits.

- I'll give you one of mine.

- No thanks, I'm busy.

- Busy doing what?

Being a bumblebee artist?

- It's better than playing a stupid computer game.

- You're just chicken.

- Am not!

- Are too, you're scared of a game.

- So what if I am?

(bocking like a chicken)

What do you know anyway?

Before I came here, me and my brother were chased

by our tribes, lucky we got away.

People shouldn't be chased.

- It's only a game, Mouse.

- Play it by yourself then, I'm busy.

(soft music)

(machine buzzing)

- [Narrator] The game belongs in the virtual realm.

Help us restore your pleasure

by keeping your combat activity off the streets.

(soft music)

(beeping)

- Hey, wait right there.

State your reason for being out past curfew.

Hey, I recognize you.

You caught Jay in the reality game, great play.

- I've um, come to collect my lifetime pass

for all the games.

- No, I'm not sure that's allowed,

well with curfew and all.

- But I'm a great player, you said so yourself.

- Oh, what the heck, just this once, aye?

I'll go fetch it for you.

(soft music)

- Ebony.

Where are you?

- Come back to me Ram.

I need you.

- Ebony!

- I can't do this by myself.

(upbeat music)

- [Narrator] Help us restore your pleasure

by keeping your combat activity off the streets.

- Where'd you get those?

- I traded them for one of your fellow Mall Rats.

- Well,

I think you have something I need.

♪ Where did you go ♪

♪ I'm hoping it's you ♪

♪ Maybe we could ♪

- You want a present?

- From you?

- Close your eyes.

- Okay.

- You can open them now.

- Mouse, thank you it's beautiful.

- A busy bee for a busy Salene.

You can put it up in your office.

- I'll do that right now, it's beautiful.

- I'm not gonna play the game again, ever.

- I'm really glad to hear that.

- It was fun chasing people, and it was a fun game.

- Then what changed your mind?

- Well, seeing people chase after Jay for real,

that scared me, and I don't like being scared.

- Me either.

I don't think many people like being scared, Mouse.

(soft music)

(knocking)

- Excuse me.

- What do you want?

Where did you get them?

- Forget about that.

This isn't about earrings.

This is about trust.

- I think he's sorry.

(soft music)

- Looks like it might rain.

We should find some cover.

- I know somewhere quite nearby.

There may be food there too.

- And you'll be leader.

- My pleasure.

Would you follow me, Jay?

Anywhere?

- I'm all yours if there's food and a bed.

- Be careful, I might have to keep you to that promise.

- [Announcer] Observe the curfew.

Observe the curfew, anyone found

on the streets after the morning siren is sounded

will be arrested, this is your final warning.

- We're running out of medicine

and he won't ration what we've got.

- I can't.

- Why not?

If you're gonna do it then do it.

- You can't ration antibiotics, okay?

You just can't.

- Hold it.

How long until you run out, Patch?

- I don't know, two or three days maybe?

- Well you're just gonna have to manage.

- So why are the Technos doing this?

- They're frightened.

They want order, peace, everyone working.

That was the whole point of the game.

Instead, it created chaos and violence.

- It created more than that.

- Now they don't know what to do.

- Well that makes two of us, doesn't it?

Haven't they caught Jay yet?

- No, they'd be showing him off

all over city net if they had.

I think it's safe to assume that Jay

and Ebony are still on the run.

- Pity.

- What?

- Well it is, if Ram had what he wanted,

he'd ease up on the city.

He's taking this out on us.

- I'll try and get through to Ram and Java,

see if they can renew our supply.

In the meantime, you're just gonna have to make do, Patch.

- Of course you'd be in a much better situation

if someone we all know hadn't stolen

half the medical supplies in the first place,

then let somebody else take the blame for it.

- He's right.

And I'm sorry Siva, for everything I've put you through.

- What you put us all through.

Should keep that medicine cabinet locked, just in case.

- Why don't you do the same with your mouth, Lex?

- I think this meeting is over.

- Mouse is gone!

- What do you mean gone?

- I was trying to find her.

I thinks he went outside.

- I'll go look for her.

- Pride, the curfew.

- I know.
