["The Dream Must Stay Alive" by Meryl Cassie]

♪ Look into the future, what do you see ♪

♪ I really need to know now, is there a place for me ♪

♪ If we're gonna survive

♪ The dream must stay alive

- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

[ominous music]

- What?

- Zoot.

We were just,

please don't - You're dead!

He's back, Zoot's back.

- I believe at last that everything was going to plan

he only saw what I wanted him to see.

The end of the Mall Rats.

All it took was a specially adapted headset.

- Ringside seat.

[yelling]

[lasers firing]

Cool.

- What he didn't realize was that they were virtual

Mall Rats getting wasted.

- You gave Ram a whole new reality?

- Including a tearful sendoff into Paradise.

[woman crying]

- I'll see you in my dreams.

- What happened to him?

Did he end up in Paradise or what?

- Not exactly.

- This isn't reality space.

This is real.

[dramatic music]

- Starving to death and they won't let me take off

their helmets.

- You can hardly blame them,

wanting to live in a virtual world

after all they've been through.

- How are we ever going to clear up this mess Amber?

- One day at a time.

Look I'm heading back to the mall,

see if everyone's okay, you wanna to come?

- [Pride] What are the others doing?

- Well Lex is doing what he does best,

throwing people in jail.

Everyone else is celebrating.

We should be too, we won Pride,

we've got a real chance now.

- Yeah until the next control freak comes along

and decides he wants to take over the world.

- We won't let that happen,

besides if we can survive Ram, we can survive anything,

who can be worse than that guy?

[ominous music]

- [Zoot] Ebony.

- You're not real.

This is a trick.

- I'm disappointed Ebony.

You show so little faith,

don't you remember what I told you when we became one?

[sirens wailing]

I told you we'd always be together.

That one day we would see my prophesies fulfilled.

That time has arrived.

Power and chaos Ebony!

Remember?

- No!

- Power and chaos!

- No!

- You coming to the mall?

Some of us are heading off to spread the word.

- You a Mall Rat now?

Let's hope people want to hear the word.

You go, I got my hands full here.

Power stations don't run themselves unfortunately.

You're going to have to start recruiting people Jay,

training them up.

- Look, I want to thank you Mega, for everything.

- Ram had it coming.

- I was hoping maybe Ved was gonna join us.

I think maybe he was planning to with Chloe.

Which is why Ram got rid of him,

because he found out.

What do you think?

- We'll never know.

[peaceful music]

- Name?

- The name's Wizard.

And is that thing loaded?

- Why don't you jump me and find out?

- It's quite an invitation.

- Hey Sheriff, how log you planning on keeping us

locked up in there?

- Well, you're all murdering scumbags who deserve

to be punished, and that includes Mrs. Ram here

for all here scheming and fun and games at our expense.

I dunno, how about I lock the door and throw away the key?

That sounds fair.

- Is that some kind of joke?

- You see me laughing pal?

- I never deleted anyone.

- No but you had a pretty good try at it Java.

Your own sister too, nice going.

- That was her hard luck,

hanging out with a bunch of verts.

She deserved everything she got.

- You going to put her in with the others Lex?

Only I think she'd be better off alone and under guard

so she can't cause any more trouble, don't you?

- Sure babe, good idea.

- Everything under control?

- I'm just gonna go have a look around outside.

- Rounding up stray Technos?

- Exactly.

- Like Tai-San?

[tense music]

- Ebony?

[Ebony sobbing]

- [Man] Whatch out, they're getting away,

hold it. - Hey, hey!

Nice going May.

[seagulls squawking]

- Bray so good to see you.

Did you miss mommy, hey?

- Oh look who's here.

- Hey how are you doing?

- Hey, it's so good to see you.

I can't believe you're all safe, did anybody get hurt?

- Only the bad guys.

- And what's happened to Ram?

- We took all his toys away and hid the batteries.

- What?

- He's still alive but he can't hurt anyone, not anymore.

- Does that mean we're gonna have to turn the power off?

I'm kind of getting used it. [laughs]

- Yeah, we'll have to talk about all that.

- Well if you ask me, we should go back

to the way things were, like the Technos were never here.

- Amber!

- Hey Mouse, how are you?

- Did you win?

- Yeah of course, you didn't have to worry

we had it all planned.

- I was scared.

- I know, but it's like I told you Mouse,

sometimes you've just got to have a little faith.

- Stats!

Wait a minute.

Why are we running?

- I don't think anyone followed us either, but just in case.

- But I mean why run?

It's just a bunch of filthy verts man,

they're cowards, all of them.

- Maybe but they have our weapons and there's at least

one of them back there that ain't afraid to use them.

- Lex?

Did you see that?

Even his old lady's got him on a leash.

Do you know what I reckon?

I think Ram's still alive, I don't think those

Mall Rats have the common sense to finish him off.

- So what if he is?

There's nothing we can do about it.

- Not yet, not until we've got something to trade.

Or someone.

- Are you insane?

- Big reward if we pull it off.

I mean, saving the Technos, it's got to be worth,

Paradise on Earth.

- What if you're wrong?

What if Ram's dead?

[seagulls squawking] [girls laughing]

- That's the one, that's Sammy.

- [Girl] He's cute.

- [Girl In Pink Top] Hands off, I saw him first.

He's the greatest ever.

Hey Sammy, you're so cool, could I get your autograph?

- Ah yeah, yeah.

I don't have any paper.

- Oh well you could sign it here, on my heart. [laughs]

- Sammy!

Sammy!

Sammy!

- Huh?

- Sammy listen to me.

- What are you doing?

Can't you see I'm busy, leave me alone.

- But I thought you'd want to know, it's all over.

- What is?

- You know, Ram and the Technos.

We've beaten them.

- Beaten them what?

- I mean we've defeated them,

they can't boss us around any more.

- You got me out of Paradise to tell me that?

Listen, don't bother me unless it's something important.

Come to think of it, don't bother me at all.

[reflective music]

- Look, I know I went back on my word,

but I had my reasons.

We can still be together.

Just not in the woods Ebony.

This is where we belong.

- Do you mean it?

- We're city kids Ebony.

And I don't know about you,

but I never really suited that retro look.

[Ebony laughing]

[ominous music]

What's wrong?

- Nothing.

- Are you okay, what are you cold?

- No I'm fine, just, keep talking.

Tell me again about that retro look.

- Worked like a dream.

Time for phase two I think.

[rustling metal]

[motorbike rumbling]

- Get!

What are you, deaf?

Get out of here.

- Hey so this is where we're going to have meetings

from now on?

- Yeah, Pride and I thought it would be best

to keep everyone close to the exit, added security.

Where's Salene?

- Still no sign.

- Siva wasn't she at the hotel?

- Yeah, I thought she was coming over here.

- She was probably just helping Mega or something.

- Yeah, we need to have a roll call.

Is anyone else missing?

- Mouse, where's Sammy?

- In his room, what about Patch and Dee?

- That's a point.

- Tai-San's gone AWOL too.

I reckon we should look for our missing friends, right now.

We can split into groups and that way cover more ground.

- Hold it Lex, it's a bit early to sound the alarm.

Besides we've got more pressing matters to attend to.

- Like what?

- Like the Technos for starters,

we can't just lock them up and throw away the key.

- Nah, sorry you're right.

Maybe we should put them up here in the Mall,

give them a hot meal, read them a bedtime story, how's that?

- Once again you're missing the point,

we need their skills,

especially if we're gonna keep the power going,

Mega will vouch for their loyalty.

- Jay's right Lex, when those kids who'd signed up

with the Guardian got free, a lot of them became, well,

almost friends.

- Some of us were even accepted back into the Mall Rats.

- Not by everyone, Trudy.

- I'm sorry Amber but I agree with Lex.

I have to know what's going on,

I'll catch up with you later.

- Yeah, goes for me too.

- What's the big deal?

Salene and Tai-San are probably catching up on some gossip,

as for Patch and Dee,

I think we all know what they'll be getting up to.

- Ugh.

[peaceful music]

- Hey, get off me!

- Knock it off you hear me?

- Let me out!

- Look at that, she drew blood.

- Not such cowards after all.

- Let me out of here. [door banging]

- You keep it quiet in there, be good girl now.

- Come on!

- Play it cool and I'll come back with the food

like I told you, we're gonna do a deal but if you

keep this up I may not come back at all, you hear?

- She heard.

- Well at least the hard part's over now.

We just gotta wait for the trade.

- That's not quite right.

- What?

- The hard part being over, I'd say it's still to come.

- You're a freak you know that?

[reflective music]

- Can I come with you?

- I move around faster by myself, thanks anyway.

- Lex, if Tai-San went over to the Technos,

then maybe she got arrested with the others?

- Who says I'm going after Tai-San?

- Yeah, like you're suddenly worried about everyone else

and Salene is such a big mate of yours.

- What is this?

- I gotta feel guilty for looking out for my own tribe?

And for your information, Salene and I go way back.

- Yeah, but Tai-San's your wife Lex,

she's the only one you care about, isn't she?

- I don't have time for this.

We'll talk later.

[tense music]

[Mega laughing]

- It's a pity Ram's not here, he'd be very impressed.

[upbeat music]

- So the Mall Rats are back in charge huh?

What do you know?

- Looks like it, they always are.

Salene was Mayor anyway wasn't she?

Or did she quit?

I forget.

- Well I'll tell her you were looking for her.

- Yeah, I mean only if you see her,

don't knock yourself out.

Can I have another one of these?

- She won't be needing that.

- What are you doing here?

- Wanted to see how tough you were without that stun gun.

- Beat it, you don't scare me.

- Oh come on, that's not very friendly now is it?

- Listen Warlock-- - Wizard!

- Whatever.

Not many kids around here like being pushed around

by Technos, all I have to do is shout.

- Well go ahead, and your friend will suffer.

- My friend?

- She calls herself a Mall Rat.

Look we don't want to hurt you, you're the messenger,

you're the one who's gonna do the deal for us.

- Shall we go?

I hope you don't mind but we're gonna have to blindfold you.

[wind whistling]

- Where is she?

Where is Tai-San?

- How would I know?

I'm in solitary remember?

- Yeah and if you ever want to see daylight again

you better start talking.

- She's not in the cupboard or under the bed,

if that's what you think.

- Don't mess with me Java, you know something.

- I don't know, you found out she was spying on the Technos

and you had her taken care of,

but if I found out, if something's happened to her,

I swear to you, you'll pay.

- Have you finished?

Why don't we calm down and discuss this.

I'll tell you what I know, maybe I can help you.

But only if you help me first.

- What does that mean?

- Hmm, you and me,

we're not so different are we Lex?

- Is that right?

- You know it was all Ram's doing.

All the bad stuff, I was just along for the ride.

- So what?

- So you're making me take all the blame

and letting Ebony and Siva off the hook, it's not fair.

But why don't you use your influence with the Mall Rats,

and get me out of here, hmm?

- In your dreams Java.

Do you know anything or not?

I'll take that as a no.

- Then I'll bring you down, all your scams,

selling Paradise, what if I tell them everything?

- Go ahead Java, who'd believe a loser like you anyway?

- Lex!

Lex!

Just who is the loser Lex?

[peaceful music]

- Leave it be!

[stirring music]

You wanna fight?

Fight me!

- We have a lot to celebrate.

The defeat of the Technos, the new cafe,

we should have a party or something.

- I think we're all too exhausted.

- We can't have a party without Dee.

She should be here, and Patch.

- They'll turn up, you worry too much Mouse.

I know what Tai-San would do if she were here.

- What?

- She'd have us all hold hands and say a prayer.

- Let's do it.

- Okay.

Jay you wanna join us?

- With what?

- We're going to say a prayer.

- Thank you for our freedom and for our home,

and for bringing our tribe back together.

- And please bring our friends home as soon as possible,

and don't let any of them come to any harm,

especially Salene.

- Mouse, that was, that was really nice.

Come on, let's get you ready for bed.

- I'm gonna turn in too, get my beauty sleep, goodnight.

- Goodnight Siva.

How are you feeling?

- Shattered.

- Well you did it, you beat Ram,

you should be feeling proud.

- Now that it's over I just,

I feel ashamed that I was even involved.

Taking orders from that creep.

- Yeah but you stopped taking orders,

and you found your own way.

Sometimes that's the hardest part,

just standing up for what you believe in.

- Thanks to you.

Ebony, are you going to join us?

- Oh I wouldn't want to spoil the party,

I mean you've got such a beautiful thing going on here.

- Ebony it's not like that.

[lights crackling] [tense music]

- Oh my god, what's going on?

Are we under attack?

- I knew it was too good to last.

- No, no it's just a power cut.

Mega's lost half his technicians.

- This is it, this is the beginning.

- Ebony wh...

- The beginning of what?

[alarms beeping]

- Give me backup, get those generators working, now!

- That password was incorrect, that password was incorrect.

You said the wrong password, you said the wrong password.

That password was incorrect, incorrect.

[Ebony sobbing]

- Ebony what's the matter?

- Trudy, get out of here,

just take your kid and get out of here while you still can.

- It's just a power cut okay?

We'll be fine with candle light,

it'll be just like the good old days.

- The good old days, but there's nothing good about them.

Trudy.

[ominous music]

Zoot's back!

- What?

- He's back.

He's here now, right now.

- I don't understand Ebony.

- Are you blind?

He's in this room Trudy!

He's right behind you.

- Ebony you're scaring me.

- Can't you see?

He's here.

It's him.

- I don't see anything.

You poor thing, you must be exhausted.

- What happened to all the lights?

- We don't know yet, I take it you didn't find her?

- You mean Tai-San?

- Who else?

- Do me a favor and don't even start on that.

- Hey look, just take it easy okay?

I'm as worried as you are.

- Yeah, I guess you are, I'm sorry.

- You don't know what you've got until it's gone huh?

- I'm telling you Pride, if she's gone for good this time,

I don't think I can handle it, I can't loose her again.

- We heard the grill go.

- I was just locking up, still no sign.

- Wa-wa-wait, someone's coming.

- It's only me.

- May are you alright?

- No not really.

- What's up.

- I bumped into those Techno guys, the ones that escaped,

well they didn't leave empty handed.

They've taken a hostage and they want Ram in return.

- Is she alive?

- She's alive.

Look they took me to this warehouse.

- Where is it?

- I was blindfolded, I can't tell you that.

I did see her, she's okay, she's just scared.

It's Salene.

[reflective music]

They've got Salene, Pride.

And they said, unless we hand over Ram,

they're gonna waste her.

[crickets chirping]

[tense music]

- Urg, search the area, I want him found!

[motorcycle rumbling]

- Argh!

- And you can take this garbage with you!
