- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

(mellow music)

(river flowing) (birds chirping)

- Jay, Ebony?

What?

- Oh, thank God.

We thought you were the Technos.

- You know these guys?

- Oh, yeah.

We know them, don't we, Ebony?

- Now, listen--

- Love the outfit, Ebony.

That the latest fashion?

- Yeah.

Mud and straw.

It's the new cool.

(calm acoustic music)

(wind blowing)

- So, have we found them yet?

- Not yet, no, but we will.

(sighs) I've got search squads in all directions.

- All directions?

So, you're saying you don't even know which way they went.

- We have a pretty good idea, but it's not easy.

They're out in the backwoods.

There's no technology out there,

no cameras, no CCTV, just nature.

- (laughs shortly) Nature.

Nature sucks!

- Yeah, don't worry.

We'll catch them.

They can't run forever.

- Hm.

Neither can I, or had you forgotten?

- How could I?

- I want my revenge before I go into reality space paradise.

- I know.

- Okay, what's this all about?

- It's a long story.

- Oh, I bet it is if she's got anything to do with it.

- Trudy, please.

Let's just get them back to camp.

There might be Technos about.

- Yeah, him.

He's one of their generals.

- Not anymore.

I quit.

- You did it?

You really did it?

- Jay's the Technos' public enemy number one.

Ram's got the whole city on him.

He wants him dead.

- And what about you, Ebony?

I thought you were all set up as the bride of Dracula.

- I got myself a divorce.

- So, the Technos are after both of you now?

- Afraid so.

- Oh, great.

And you had to come--

- Trudy, please.

Let's just get them back to camp.

Let's go.

(gentle acoustic music)

- What's this?

Tears?

- I don't wanna lose you.

- You don't have to.

You can come with me.

- Somebody has to stay here to look after your body.

- That's my lovely Javie, always so thoughtful.

I'm gonna be so lonely without you.

- You could always take Ebony.

- I've got plans for Ebony, when you find her.

(wind blowing)

- Take two of these now, and two more in another four hours.

They'll help the pain.

That's all I can do.

Get some rest, okay?

- Thanks.

- Hi!

- I thought you might like a drink.

- Oh, wow, thanks.

- Watch it, it's hot!

- (laughs) Right.

- You look really tired.

You been doing too much.

- I've been up all night.

The Technos are just going to town enforcing the curfew.

- Why don't you sit down and take it easy?

You've earned it.

(Patch sighs)

You've been doing a really good job here.

- I couldn't manage without you, you know?

You just--

- Yeah, but you, I mean, you're the one who--

- No, I, I need you to know, I mean, we...

- Yes, we?

- We, uh, we really need more painkillers, you know?

If it keeps on going like this, we're gonna be out.

- Yeah.

(mellow music)

(drums beating) (birds chirping)

(dogs barking)

- Everyone, this is Jay and Ebony.

They're friends escaping from the Technos.

- Hey! - [Amber] I've invited them

to rest for a little while before

they continue their journey. - Hi.

- They're just passing through.

- That's right.

We won't be stopping.

- Hey, little man!

Hey, how're you doing?

(baby laughing)

- This is yours?

- Yeah, this is little Bray.

- You called him Bray?

- That's right. (baby crying)

You think he looks like his father?

- Yeah.

- This one really is Bray's.

- He's cute, Amber.

Real cute.

(mellow music)

(wind blowing)

- What are you doing?

- Reading.

- No, you're not.

You can't.

- Well, I will soon.

I'm learning.

- I'm bored.

- You wouldn't be if you had a book to read, Sammy.

- Yes, I would!

I wanna go play the game.

- You can't!

Salene said you can't.

- Salene can't stop me if I'm out of the mall.

- Sammy, you mustn't!

You know what it did to Pride.

- Don't care!

The game's the greatest thing ever!

I'm going.

Do you wanna come with me?

- Sammy, no!

It's too dangerous.

- What are you gonna do about it, tell Salene?

- I might, then you'll be in trouble.

- If you snitch, I'll never talk to you again.

- See if I care.

- I'm going.

(mellow music)

- Sammy!

Sammy!

(birds chirping)

- This is great.

- You like it?

- Yeah, it's, it's so peaceful.

Don't you think, Ebony?

- Don't get too attached to it.

We've gotta keep on the move, remember?

- Yeah.

- But you can stay for a little while?

- No.

We're still too close to the Technos for my liking.

- Well, you'll be safe here for now.

- Maybe, but it's not that easy.

I mean, they've got the hunting dogs on our trail, now.

Ebony's right, we have to move on.

- At least take the time to get cleaned up

and have a meal with us.

- Yeah, I'd like that.

- And I'll see what I can do about your clothes. (laughs)

- I'd like that.

- Maybe I can get someone to recover your stuff.

- That'd be great.

- Well, while the food's cooking,

you can fill me in on what's happening in the city.

You don't know how worried I've been about you.

- Mouse?

- Hi, Salene.

- Have you see Pride?

I can't find him anywhere.

- No.

- What about May?

- She said she's going out for some supplies.

- Oh.

Are you on your own?

- Yeah.

I'm actually trying to read.

- That's really good!

Hey, where's Sammy?

- Uh, he's, um, dunno.

He doesn't like books, exactly.

- No, never mind, you keep at it,

and if you see Pride,

can you tell him I was looking for him?

(mellow music)

(Mouse sighs)

(Ram typing)

- [Java] Ram?

- I'm working.

- How are you getting along?

- If I didn't keep getting interrupted.

You know the score, Java.

I don't have much time, but right now,

I want to see Ved, okay?

And I want to see him urgently.

(calm music)

(Ram sighs)

(swings creaking) (birds chirping)

- You're late.

- To be honest, I had second thoughts

about meeting with you here.

- Because of Salene?

- Yes.

- Well, then, we really do have something to talk about.

(wind blowing)

(Mouse crying)

- Mouse, what is it?

Hey, come on, it can't be that bad.

(sighs) You wanna talk about it?

- Can't.

- Is it the reading?

I know it's hard to start off, but,

but once you get the hang of it, it's worth the effort.

- It's not the reading.

- Is it Sammy?

You had a row with him.

Look, I'm sure it can't be anything serious.

- He went outside to play the game.

I tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen.

- Well, have you told anyone else?

Salene?

- He said if I snitch on him, he'll never speak to me again.

- I don't think it's snitching to tell on somebody

if it's for their own good.

- You don't?

- Why don't you and me go see Salene together, huh?

I really think she ought to know.

(calm acoustic music)

That's my girl.

(wind blowing)

- This is going to blow everybody's minds.

- There could be a problem, Ram.

- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Not so long as people keep on working at the power station.

(computer beeps)

We gotta keep the power supplies up.

Otherwise, my life support systems will fail,

and that's hardly paradise, is it?

(Ram typing)

- I don't think you understand.

There could be a problem with Ved.

- Oh.

- I've checked his quarters and the operations room,

but there's no sign of him anywhere.

- Then where is he?

- That's a very good question.

(mellow music)

- Why don't you pull up a chair?

- Lex, hi.

- Oh, hey.

- Can I talk to you?

- Sure, don't cost nothing to talk.

- Lex, you're, you're a man of the world, right?

- That's me, bud.

- And you know about, um, stuff?

- You mean women?

- Yeah.

I need some advice.

- What's your problem?

You got a girl up the spout?

- What?

- Pregnant.

- Oh, (laughs) no.

No, definitely not.

- Is it someone I know?

- It's Dee.

I just don't know how to, you know, what to say.

- Gotcha.

- I think she likes me.

- I'd really love to give you some advice,

but I don't really have that problem.

You see, women, they just seem to go for me.

I don't know what it is.

- Well, if it works for you, why can't it work for me?

- You really want some advice?

I'll tell you exactly what to do,

and this never fails.

(birds chirping) - I've been struggling

to keep things together.

You know?

The problems after being scanned.

- You don't have that problem anymore.

- I, I just need some space, May.

I'm only just starting to get back

to thinking clearly again.

- So, what, you expect me to wait around for you?

- I know this can't be easy.

- Yeah, well, it seems easy enough for you!

- That's not fair!

- No, it's not fair on me, Pride!

After everything we've been through.

(mellow music)

(wind blowing)

(electronic whirring) (crowd cheering)

(upbeat music)

- Do you still think there's a problem?

- Not if you don't, Ram.

- I decide if there's a problem,

and if Ved goes missing,

then I can bring him back, if I want.

Who is the true controller?

- You are.

- Who can bring pleasure or pain?

- You can.

- Do you feel pleasure?

- More.

(upbeat music)

(crowd shouting and cheering)

(camera shutters clicking)

- [Ram] Are you enjoying it?

- No.

- Don't fight it.

Experience the pleasure.

- No.

- Indulge yourself.

- No.

- This is what Siva lives with every day, Java.

Just imagine it, you and Lex.

- Unlock me, Ram.

I don't want to play this game.

- Oh, this is my game and I make the rules.

I need to know if you're gonna go the way of Siva

or if you want to live with me until the end of time.

- I want to be with you forever, Ram.

- Who am I?

- Sometimes, I don't know anymore.

- You know exactly who I am!

I am Ram, look at me!

You know, I can be Lex if you would like me to be.

- No.

- So, you'd prefer me to be me,

the master creator, the true genius?

- For all eternity.

(low intense music)

- [Pride] Get down! - [Sammy] (screams)

- Where are you going, Sammy?

- Oh, hi, Pride.

- What are you doing here?

- I was gonna go play the game.

Are you gonna come?

(wind blowing)

- I've been worried!

- About what?

- You.

You didn't tell anybody where you were going.

- So, what, I have to report to you now, do I?

- No, but you might let someone know when you're going out,

especially with all the stuff happening with the game.

- I'm over that, now.

- (sighs) You haven't seen Pride anywhere, have you?

- No.

(mellow music)

(Salene sighs)

(wind blowing)

- [Ram] What do you mean,

they got away? (glass shattering)

- Well, Java's picked up their trail,

but they managed to put them off the scent somehow.

At least we know which direction they took.

- Why can't we find them?

Can anyone do their job properly around here?

- What's going on?

- I'm surrounded by incompetence, that's what's going on.

Go and find Jay and Ebony immediately,

and if they're not found,

I'll hold you personally responsible.

Now, get out of my sight.

(door shutting)

- What about Ved?

I still can't find him anywhere.

- Typical. (laughs shortly)

- You know where he is, don't you?

- Let's just say he's in my program trash,

and any time, I can tap my keyboard,

boom, and bring him back, but until then,

he's stuck in my hard drive forever.

- But your program--

- My program can be everyone's program.

All it is is a personal paradise, whatever they imagine.

- You sure about that?

It's only ever been tested on me.

- You seem okay to me.

- What I mean, Ram, is that it could be risky.

- What fun is life without a bit of risk, anyway?

I want you to take this, copy it,

and deliver it around the city, on the double.

(mellow music)

(snapping)

(Ram sighs)

- Here she comes.

- (sighs) Oh, I don't know if I can do this.

- You'll be fine.

Just remember what I told you.

- Patch, there you are.

- Hi.

- Where've you been?

- Oh, you know, around.

- Yeah?

- So, um, how's my sexy friend?

- Your what?

- You mean that girl, right?

You know, that, that one

with the big eyes and the great body?

Right?

- Right.

- Patch, are you okay?

- Yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm fine.

- You just seem sort of, I don't know.

- Well, uh, a guy knows when a chick's coming on to him.

- And do you fancy her?

- Uh, yeah, of course I do.

She's a doll.

She's a real doll.

- And you believe you can seduce her with your smooth talk?

- I don't know, I...

Yeah, uh, I do.

- I think you've got it all wrong, Patch.

- (groans)

Oh, Lord.

Now what?

- I think that was great, mate.

It was great!

- But she's gone.

- Don't worry about it.

She'll be back.

It never fails.

(birds chirping) (intense orchestral music)

- There they are.

Let's take them and get out of here.

(dogs barking)

- Look!

- Technos!

Get down!

- Where are they?

Where are they?

(wind blowing) - [Pride] You go find Mouse

and make up with her.

- Do I have to?

- Yes, you do.

You go and say sorry to her,

and I won't say anything to Salene, okay?

- Say anything about what?

- Oh, that's between Sammy and me.

Don't worry, it's, everything's under control.

- Where have you been?

- Out in the city, trying to see what the Technos are up to.

- You've been playing the game again, haven't you?

- No, I--

- And with Sammy?

Mouse told me Sammy went out to play the game.

He probably thought it was safer with you there, too.

- It's not like that.

I found him in the street.

- I don't believe you.

You're like all addicts.

You don't care what lies you tell

as long as you get your fix.

- I told you, I've kicked it.

What do I have to do to make you believe me?

- Just be honest with me, Pride.

That's all I ask.

(mellow music)

(birds chirping)

- You're a good girl, yes you are.

- [Amber] Make a lovely father, wouldn't he?

- Yeah, lovely.

I can hardly wait.

- Oh?

- We aim to start our own family,

as soon as we find a place to settle down.

- [Amber] That's nice.

- Yeah.

Ride away from all this,

the city, the Technos, all those bad memories,

make a fresh start, just the two of us.

You know, I think this is the real thing,

my first big chance of happiness since... you know.

- Yeah.

Well, I'm pleased for you.

There's been enough bad blood between us, Ebony.

It's time to draw a line.

- These what you're looking for?

- Thanks.

- Yeah, thanks.

- You two better get going.

- Hawk!

- There's Technos out there.

We almost got caught.

- Where are they?

- They're miles away by now.

We led them off in the wrong direction.

- They could come back!

You guys really have to go!

- If there's Technos out there,

then these guys are better off lying low for a while.

They're more likely to get picked up out there.

- We're okay.

We can look after ourselves.

- I know that,

but you're better off starting off tomorrow.

Trust me.

(mellow music)

(wind blowing)

(Salene crying)

- I thought about what you said earlier.

- Oh?

- It's not just about being honest to you, Sal.

It's about being honest to myself.

I know it's been hard for you, what with May and everything.

- I think I know how May might feel.

- Forget that.

It's over.

(mellow orchestral music)

- Yeah.

It is.

Now, get out!
