- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

[sirens blaring]

[baby cooing]

- We've gotta find your daddy, hey?

Oh, he's out there somewhere.

And we're gonna find him.

[roosters crowing]

- Where am I?

This isn't Paradise.

- Best room in the house, though.

- I know what's going on.

This is another virtual world.

It's pretty pathetic.

- Most other folks would be grateful.

It's beats rotting on a rubbish tip.

- Who are you?

What's your name?

- Slade.

- Yeah, who are you working for, Slade?

- Who said I was working?

- [coughs] Look, I might not be feeling so great right now,

but my head is clear enough to know that this isn't real.

It's another virtual world.

- If you say so. - Look, don't interrupt me.

- Or what?

- Who programmed you?

What's the deal here?

- You're sick, delirious.

You should rest.

The deal here is you rest.

We'll settle up later.

[gentle music]

- Jay. - Amber.

- I'm so glad to see you, I need your help.

- Sure, what's up?

- Well, I need to know where he actually is.

I need to know what really happened so I can find him.

He should be back by now, shouldn't he?

What do you think's taking him so long?

- Slow down.

Who? - Bray.

- Amber, I'd really like to help you,

but since I left the technos I'm no longer privy

to that kind of information.

I don't know where he is, I'm sorry.

- Come on, Jay, you were a techno when he was taken.

The commander, you oversaw the invasion.

You took him.

- Look, there are a lot of people out there

who are still missing.

Don't you think I'd like to be able to find all of them?

- Then make Bray the first one.

I don't even know if he's still alive, Jay,

and I need to know.

It's not just for me, it's for my son.

[gentle music]

- Not interested?

- I don't believe in marriage.

- No.

- You were having a bad dream about Tai-San?

- Oh, Siva, please, I can't help what I dream.

- So you admit you were dreaming about her?

- What if I was?

You said my past relationship

with Tai-San doesn't bother you.

- Right, your past relationship doesn't bother me,

your present relationship is something else.

- I can't undo the past, nor would I want to.

When I saw her at the hotel, I was shocked.

But pleased to see she was still alive.

And now that she's disappeared again,

I need to know what's happened to her.

- You need to get a divorce.

- How that heck is that gonna help?

- It'll prove you care for me, so it'll help a lot.

- You just don't get it, do ya?

I've gotta find her, and you should stop being so jealous

and let me try.

- Go ahead, try.

Find her.

- I don't need your permission.

- You're right, you don't.

One thing.

- What?

- I can't guarantee I'll be here when you get back.

[gentle music]

- I'm not sure this is gonna help you, Amber.

We should be looking forward, a new start.

- The city is full of people who've lost their loved ones.

If you can help me find Bray,

it'll give the city hope, something to believe in.

- She's got a point, Mega.

- He's my son's father.

I have to know where he is.

- Look, help us out.

If he was abducted in the initial roundup,

he'll be on the list.

- Are you sure you wanna do this?

- Key in the password.

- Fine, if that's what you want.

[dramatic music]

[computer beeping]

Sorry, not listed.

- Let me try.

[computer beeping]

Got ya.

- Bray, you found him.

I don't believe it.

Deleted?

Mind telling me what that means?

- It means he's dead.

- [Amber] Are you sure?

In the real world or the virtual world?

- I keep forgetting kettles don't boil without electricity.

I really wanted a coffee.

Hey, well, would you like a cup of H2O?

So, is there any news from those low-life scumbags?

- How would I know?

- Well, I thought you were sorta the go-between.

- What's that supposed to mean?

It makes me sound like I'm in on it.

- No, silly.

Hey, Salene will be okay.

- Yeah? - May, Salene is strong

and smart.

She will get through this.

Hey, Mouse, what's up?

Is everything okay?

- Yes, but Sammy isn't.

- We'll have to be patient with Sammy.

He'll get there.

- How?

Salene's not here and I'm just too little to look after him

all by myself, and now he's sulking, in a really bad mood.

And he doesn't even want a hug,

which is a really big offer because he's a boy.

- What a shame, Mouse, a hug might just have done it, too.

Would you like me to come and help you?

[gentle music]

- I just had no idea that the technos had.

- Say it.

Go on, say it.

Deleted Bray, killed, murdered, butchered,

destroyed, assassinated, graphic enough for you?

Or should we stick to your quaint little euphemism?

Save your breath, Jay, because no amount of sorry

is gonna bring him back from something so permanent, is it?

[gentle music]

[computer beeping]

- Let me out!

You're gonna regret this, you hear me?

- Is it too early for a drink?

- This is Liberty, it's never too early.

What'll it be?

- Something mellow with a sour kick.

- Sounds like a guy I used to know.

- Crossword, eh?

Exercising your mind?

- Reminds me of your dad when we had newspapers.

Limit it to once a day, though.

Don't wanna get obsessive.

- Ah, just what the doctor ordered.

Give me a clue.

- Speaking of which, is he all right up there?

- Nothing rest won't cure, maybe.

[Amber crying]

- Okay, nine across,

he'll act badly being a spiteful person.

You planning on sticking around long?

- Nope. - Where are you headed?

- No place in particular.

- Waiting for your friend to get better?

- I don't recall saying he was my friend.

- But he is going with you?

- Don't recall saying that either.

- You ever win a prize for your conversation skills?

- Nope.

What do I owe you?

- Oh, about three answers and a sentence,

but hey, you amuse me.

Drink's on the house.

- Are you sure that's good for business?

- Sure, it's called loss-later.

It leaves the customer feeling obligated to return

at a later date.

- Hellcat.

- How did you work that out?

- Act badly, mix it up gives you cat.

He'll is hell, spiteful person, hellcat.

- I knew that.

- I don't remember saying you didn't.

[gentle music]

- [Trudy] I know what you're going through.

- How can you, you haven't done Paradise.

- No, but I have lost things that hurt.

We all have.

- I wanna play the game.

- Do you?

Do you really still wanna play?

- Yes.

- Well, that's not an option, Sammy.

We don't have the electricity anymore.

No power, no play.

- But I feel so bad.

I can't stop thinking about it.

- You will, ride it out.

You'll get there.

But I guess you could do with a little help.

Mouse, it's okay, I know you're just concerned

about your friend and not spying at all.

Come here.

So, you wanna help Sammy get better?

- Wait, leaving me there to rot like garbage.

I trusted you.

I gave you a purpose.

I'm gonna get you, Ray.

Left to die, I'm going to.

- As much as I don't wanna miss a single syllable

of this erudite, stimulating conversation,

sweet dreams and adios, amigo.

[crowd chanting]

- It's beginning to spread, first the car, then the signs.

- [Java] Meanwhile, I'm cooped up in here.

- Java, have patience.

We have to make this look as plausible as possible.

If I were to just let you out,

the whole thing would fall, and you don't want that, do ya?

No, no, you want what's at the end of all this.

You want all of that.

- And what do you want, Mega?

Just to play the game, is that it?

- We all have our own vision of Paradise, Java.

- We could play a game.

Lex taught me how to play Life Card Brag.

Wanna play?

- Got any cards?

- Uh, no I haven't.

- Look, Mouse, I just wanna be left alone right now.

- But Trudy said I'd be doing a great job

if I stayed here and beed your buddy.

- I don't need a buddy,

especially a small, little kid like you.

- Do you want me to go away?

- Yes.

- Okay then, I will.

[upbeat music]

[motorcycle revving]

- I can't believe I'm doing this.

- How's Sammy? - Don't know.

He told me to go away.

- Oh, well that's a shame.

- There's nothing, nothing to do.

I'm not even allowed outside.

- Well, it is dangerous, Mouse.

We don't want you disappearing, as well.

- Like Salene. - Kind of.

Hey, I know what we can do.

We might as well put this old thing to good use.

This, Mouse, will turn you into a woman of letters.

- Wow.

- Okay, go ahead and read that for me.

- I can't read.

- Oh, sure you can.

What does it say?

Okay, I'll give you a clue.

It's in this room.

[suspenseful music]

- I don't know. - Yes, you do.

It says Mouse, it says your name.

- I don't wanna play your stupid game.

[gentle music]

[birds cawing]

- It's the first sign, you know?

- What is?

- Talking to yourself. - Madness.

- Yeah, second sign is speaking to geeks like you.

- I'll ignore your ignorant remark, Sheriff,

because there's something I wanna know.

- Same here, and I'm real busy

so get outta my face.

- Who's been spreading all the rumors about Zoot.

- Zoot? - It's all over town.

Some people have even seen him.

- And his car, you remember his car.

- Yeah, how could I forget?

- So, what's the scam?

Or is it for real?

- Get a life, Zoot is dead.

- How 'bout we take a life instead?

I'm asking you because you should know.

You're the one who's supposed to have wiped him out.

[grunts]

- There is no supposed about it, he's a goner,

like you will be if you ever lay a finger on me again.

Am I making myself clear?

[baby cooing]

- [Jay] Are you all right?

- [Amber] What do you care?

- We need to talk. - No we don't.

- Amber, it's a mess out there, I need your help.

- It's your mess, you clean it up.

You're the techno.

- Not anymore, I had nothing to do with that.

You have to believe me.

- Why, will it bring him back?

Didn't think so.

Mouse, look after Brady for me?

Let go of my arm.

- Amber, please.

- I have to feed my baby.

I find the atmosphere here a little stressful.

Would you excuse me?

- There's a bunch of people out there who need our help.

We have to stay united.

- Don't make me laugh.

You don't care about the city.

You don't care about anything.

Ice runs through your veins, I can see that now.

And I was foolish enough to call you a friend.

- Stop it. - No.

You condoned the murder of my baby's father.

That's as good as doing it yourself.

I hope you can sleep at night, Jay,

because thanks to you, I can't.

[gentle music]

- Come on, it'll do you good.

- What is this muck?

I can't eat just anything.

- If you're not hungry, say so.

I'm not doing this to get the model citizen award, you know?

- Why are you doing all of this?

- Maybe I didn't want a dead man on my conscience.

- Why do I get the feeling that wouldn't bother you

for one second?

- For a sick guy, you're pretty ungrateful.

[gentle music]

- I told you not to let her see those files.

- She had a right to know.

I couldn't stop her.

- It wasn't your fault, Jay.

- Mind swinging that one by Amber?

All the barriers have come up now.

I'm public enemy number one.

She hates me.

- You think you're so clever, don't you?

But I'm on to you.

I've worked out your little game,

and this is where it stops.

- Excuse me?

- Where's Pride? - Pride?

- Well, they went out looking for Salene,

and he hasn't come back.

- I'm not following this.

- No?

Well, you've got Salene,

and I bet you've got Pride now as well.

- May, look, I understand that you want--

- No, you don't understand.

But he does.

You must think we're all stupid.

It was a good plan, Mega.

Use the Morats to do your dirty work for you.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- May. - No, you're scared

Ram's out there somewhere gunning for you.

You want him found, so you kidnapped Salene

so we'll find him for you.

- That's a ludicrous suggestion, and you know it.

- Yeah?

- I don't know where Salene is.

As for Pride, maybe he's gone off somewhere hugging trees.

- Oh, you little-- - This is not the way.

You're upset, your guy is missing.

But lashing out won't find him.

- But I have to find him.

I have to.

[gentle music]

- I've got enemies, perhaps some I don't even know about.

If anything should happen to me,

then you can locate me with this.

- Hi, I see you're sitting by yourself.

Is everything okay?

- I doubt it.

Everyone seems to be looking for someone.

People have been deleted, people have disappeared.

It's a mess, Trudy.

Even May somehow thinks I'm involved

with Salene's disappearance.

- But you're not. - No, but she's upset

and needs someone to blame.

Just like Amber. - Is Amber upset?

- She'll want to tell you herself.

But Trudy, you have to believe me,

I didn't give the direct order, I didn't even know.

I was a techno, sure, and that means I'm tainted,

at least that's what Amber thinks.

- Look, we all get mixed up in things,

and held responsible even when it is not our fault.

I did.

I never really understood what was going on.

But when I saw how it wrecked people's lives,

I was eaten up with guilt.

Please, don't let that happen to you.

- I can't believe you'd be involved in anything sinister.

You're such a good person.

- Well, I don't know about good.

Human, maybe.

Whatever it is that's happened, if you want Amber

to forgive you, you have to forgive yourself first.

- I don't know if I can do that.

[gentle music]

- Now just who's this supposed to bring, huh?

The cavalry?

- You can't keep me here forever.

- When I found you, you were rotting in the garbage.

I didn't realize you had friends.

- When they get here, they're gonna waste you.

And this whole stinking place.

- Well, now, you just better pray

they didn't get that message.

'Cause one second after they arrive, you're history.

[gentle music]

[Amber crying]

- Amber, are you gonna tell me what's wrong

or are you gonna keep this from me all day?

- Go away.

- Amber, what, what is it?

Amber please tell me.

- He's dead.

Bray's dead.

- Oh my god.

No, no.

But if he's dead, then everyone else is.

- I don't know, I don't know.

Oh, Trudy, what are we gonna do? [crying]
