[dramatic music]

- Zoot's dead, Zoot's dead!

Zoot's dead, Zoot's dead!

- Hey.

You been here all night?

- I must have dozed off.

- You hungry?

I'm getting this for Ebony.

- No, thanks.

Is she okay?

- She's had nightmares again.

She's a bit shaken up.

- I'm sorry.

- Why don't you go up and get some proper sleep?

- I can't.

- Look, May, we're gonna find Salene and Pride.

You just have to keep believing it.

- Do you believe it?

- Sure I do.

I got people combing every sector, block by block.

We'll find them.

I better get this back to Ebony.

- Sure, thanks.

[soft music]

[crowd shouting in distance]

- Ellie.

Ellie?

Oh, sorry, I thought you were somebody else.

[crowd shouting in distance]

- What was that?

- What? - All that noise outside.

- Just some crazies.

Breakfast.

- Thanks.

- Can you remember anything about the nightmare?

- No.

- Did it have Zoot in it?

- No, Jay, it's over.

I don't want to talk about it.

Where's yours?

- I'm gonna go eat with the others.

There's a lot to talk about.

- Can't you stay here and talk to them later?

- There's no time.

Look, you'll be fine now.

You're up.

What?

- Why don't you ever do anything for me?

Why is everyone else always more important?

- I do do things for you.

I just made you breakfast in case you didn't notice.

- Whatever.

[soft music]

- Zoot's dead, Zoot's dead, Zoot's dead!

Zoot's dead, Zoot's dead!

- This is crazy.

Dude, man, what's your problem?

- Get him!

[crowd shouts]

Don't let him get away!

This way!

- Please don't hurt me!

I'll do anything you want.

Just don't beat me up.

- It's okay, whoa.

I'm not gonna do anything.

- You've been doing Paradise?

- What?

- Paradise, the game.

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

My name's Jack.

What's yours?

- Gel.

- Gel, pleased to meet you, Gel.

Do you come here often, a lot?

[soft music]

- Good morning.

Are you watching for your rescue party?

- Look, they'll be here.

- For your sake, I hope not.

[soft music]

- I was in one of the work camps, right?

And then, one day, all the guards just split.

So that's when I came back.

But my tribe had all gone.

- Which tribe is that?

- The Modes.

- The who?

- You never heard of the Modes?

The Modes were the coolest tribe in the whole city.

We're so out there, no one even came close.

But I think they're all dead.

- Why?

- Because of this Paradise thing.

Everyone's gone crazy.

That's why I'm trying to get out again.

- I mean, do you think you can make it out on your own?

- You got a better idea?

- Yeah, my tribe will help you if you want.

The Mall Rats.

You heard of them at all?

- The Mall Rats?

You know Amber?

- Yes, I do.

She's a friend of mine as it happens, yeah.

- But I thought all the Mall Rats were supposed

to be really cool and tough.

You sure you're not on Paradise?

- Yes, I'm sure, thank you.

Now do you want to come with me or don't you?

- I guess I could fight you off if you did try anything.

- Let's go.

[soft music]

[computer beeps]

- Over there, he wanted to see the records.

I couldn't bother to tell him he's wasting his time.

In case you're interested, we'll have the power

back on very soon.

[computer beeps]

- What?

- You're not going to find her in there.

- How do you know?

What is it with this stupid thing?

- You're in the wrong database.

This is a list of food supplies.

- I know that.

Just won't let me in the right one.

- Let me help you.

- I can manage.

- I know you can, go on, shift up.

- Come on, Sammy.

I'll point to the pictures and you point

to the words.

- I don't want to play.

Go find somebody else.

- Everyone else is busy.

It's so boring.

- Well, it's not my fault.

- It's your fault you went and messed up your brain.

Now, you're grumpy all the time.

- I am not.

Leave me alone and take your stupid game with you.

- Now look at you.

You're acting like a baby.

- I said I don't want to play.

What are you, deaf?

- What is going on here?

- Sammy won't do anything--

[conflicting voices]

- That is enough.

Don't you think we have enough problems

without you guys fighting?

Sammy, go and help clean up the cafe.

And you can look after Brady.

- I looked after her yesterday.

- Yeah, and you can look after her again today.

Now!

[soft music]

- Sorry, there's nothing.

- I don't understand.

If everyone else is in there, why isn't she?

- She could have been on one of the special projects.

Maybe that's why.

- What sort of special project?

- I don't know but Mega says Ram's virus

wiped all his secret files.

So even if she was involved, we can't find out.

- Great.

- Lex, maybe it's time to face the fact that she's gone.

- What?

- If she was still around, there'd be some sign

of her somewhere.

- Is that what this all about?

Trying to convince me to give up?

- No.

- How do I know that what you've been telling me

in there is even the truth?

- I was trying to help you.

- Oh yeah?

- How is it everything I do, you throw back in my face?

I'm tired of being the only one who's trying to make

this relationship work.

- Well, maybe I'm tired of you always giving me grief.

If you want to help, stay out of it.

[door slams]

[soft music]

- Come on, where are you?

- [Gel] How much further is it?

- [Jack] Quite a ways, so come on.

- Wow.

- Hey, what are you doing?

- Getting that makeup kit before someone else does.

- But the whole point is you stay out of sight.

- Yeah but there's no one around.

This is so cool.

I haven't seen stuff like this for years.

- Yeah, that's what they all say.

[Gel screams]

- Let her go!

[grunting]

- [Punk] Let's go!

[Gel screams]

- Lying in bed?

It'll never do.

- How long are you gonna keep me in here for?

You know you can't win.

- Oh really?

How's that?

- You really think they're gonna exchange Ram for me?

After all he's done?

- You better pray they do.

- You're wasting your time.

Let me go and I promise I won't send anyone looking for you.

You can just disappear.

- We don't plan on disappearing.

That'll be your part

if your friends don't play ball.

[soft music]

[door slams]

[grunting]

- Okay, everyone, listen up.

Mega has an announcement to make.

- It's taken a while but I finally cracked

Ram's little farewell gift which means

we can have the power back on.

[all cheer]

- Only on one condition.

I get the first hot shower.

[laughing]

- I take it everyone is happy with that, then?

- No.

- What is it, Mouse?

- If you turn the power back on,

Sammy will start playing the game again.

So will all the other kids.

- No I won't.

- He will.

It's what he wants more than anything else.

- Don't listen to her.

She doesn't know what she's talking about.

- It's true, I know him.

- You know nothing.

You're a stupid little brat.

- Sammy!

- She is, she's just trying to cause trouble

like she always does.

You've got to turn it back on.

You've got to.

Why are you all looking at me like that?

- Sammy, why don't we go and see what May is up to, okay?

- Thank you, Mouse.

I think we all owe you one.

- There's something else.

What if it's Paradise that started all this stuff

with Zoot?

- Zoot?

- What, you haven't seen it?

The whole city has gone crazy with it.

[soft music]

- This is ridiculous.

Amber has seen some graffiti and there's been

some rumors about Zoot's old car.

Are we gonna not have power just because a few crazies

out there have lost control?

- A few?

Most of the population, you mean.

- I've seen them.

They're scared kids who jump at their own shadows.

Someone started this Zoot rumor as a joke

and now it's gotten out of hand.

- Well I don't want to live in a city full of crazies

and zombies, I vote no power.

- Maybe there's another way.

Maybe we can have our cake and eat it too.

- How?

- We don't switch the power back on

until we get all the Paradise headsets back.

- Get real.

- I take it you know how many were handed out?

So we tell the city no power until they're all handed in.

- In the meantime, they lynch us.

It's brilliant.

- In which case we protect ourselves.

Mega?

- We can handle it.

- What exactly gives us the right to do this?

- It's not a right, it's a duty.

- We switch it on now, we turn them back into addicts.

Mouse can see it, why can't you?

- Why don't we take a vote on it?

All those in favor?

[soft music]

Sorry, Lex, you're in a minority.

[ominous music]

[grunting]

- Zoot's dead, Zoot's dead, Zoot's dead!

- You missed quite a show.

We're gonna turn the power back on.

And try to get all the headsets back.

- Sounds like fun.

Whose idea was that?

- Amber's.

[eerie breathing]

What is it?

Ebony, whatever you're going through, I want to help

but I don't know how.

Nothing I say or do seems to make a difference.

- You really want to help me?

- Yes.

- Then take me away from here, Jay.

Like you promised, will you do that for me?

- Ebony, I'm--

- Just go.

Leave me.

[eerie breathing]

- She's claiming him for her own.

Nothing you can do will stop it now.

- You shouldn't have said anything.

- What are you saying?

That I can't have a different opinion?

- I'm saying you made me look stupid in front of everybody.

- You made yourself look stupid.

Why are you so keen to have them all playing again anyway?

- I'm not.

I just expected my woman to show me some respect in public.

- Is that what Tai-San would have done?

- Don't bring her into this.

- Why not?

She's in everything else we had going for us.

- Yeah well, at least she didn't drive me mad

by whining all the time.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean that.

- If you'd rather have Tai-San, then go right ahead.

Just remember, you have to find her first.

[soft music]

[grunting]

- Going somewhere?

- [Jack] Gel, are you over here?

- Jack, is that you?

Quick, get me out of here!

Those guys, they were using that makeup case

as a trap.

- Really, surprising.

- Yeah, and they were gonna--

- Shh, I'm trying to concentrate.

There, there.

- [Punk] Don't be a loser.

- Quick, put your hand in.

Okay, just hang on.

- You left the door open.

- No, I didn't.

- Your memory's gone, loser.

- Jack, don't leave me!

- Hey!

How'd you get in here?

- I followed the reek and the welcome signs.

Whoa, hey, two guys.

Whoa, no need for the rough stuff.

- Waste him.

- Hey, but what about our deal?

You didn't say you wanted to call it off.

- What deal?

- You said if I brought you enough girls,

you'd cut him out of it.

Now you're going back on it.

- He's lying.

- I was bringing her to him.

How did you think I would know where you'd be?

- You're with him?

- You're cheating me?

- Don't be stupid.

[shouts]

[grunting]

- [Gel] I trusted you.

- Gel, let's go, come on.

[grunting and shouting]

- Well, nice of you to squeeze me into your busy schedule.

- How are you doing?

- How do you think I'm doing?

Cooped up in here, 24 hours a day.

Not that it means anything to you.

- What do you expect, Java?

You were going to have us all deleted, including me.

Maybe that doesn't mean anything to you.

- You chose a filthy Vert over your own kind.

- I didn't have any choice.

- I hope he's worth everything you destroyed

but somehow, I doubt it.

- Won't you stop this?

I didn't come here looking for a fight, okay?

I came here because whatever you may have done,

you're still my sister.

This was a mistake.

Sorry I came.

- No, wait.

See how I guess I'm going stir crazy in here.

And it makes me say things I don't really mean.

I take it all back.

I'm really sorry.

You're right, we're sisters.

We can still talk, can't we?

[soft music]

- [Jack] Gel, I risked my life to get you out of there.

- Yeah, after you got me caught.

How do I know you haven't got someone else

you're gonna sell me to?

- Gel, you got caught because you weren't listening

and you're not listening now.

- But how could I fall for such a corny trick?

No one's that stupid.

- I don't know, you used to deal with Paradise addicts

or maybe their brains are fried.

- I'm still not coming with you.

- Why not?

- Because I'm not staying in the city full of mad people.

Have you heard all the rumors about Zoot?

- Heard how he got lynched by a gang of them.

- I'm getting out, like I meant to.

- You're not going to make it, Gel.

Look at what just happened.

- Yeah, because I went with you.

Bye, Jack, it's been great.

Not.

- Gel!

- All he thinks about is Tai-San.

Because he can't find her, he takes it out on me.

- I had no idea.

- Do you know anything about her?

- No, no one tells me anything.

- I suppose I'm lucky in a way.

I mean, if she was here, I'd have the whole thing

in my face like Ebony does.

She's so convinced that Amber is trying to take Jay away

from her, it's driving her crazy.

She's been acting really weird and I mean really weird.

- Yeah, tell me about it.

- Hey, have you seen May?

- No.

- Jay, she'll get over it.

I know her.

- What?

- It'll just take time, so don't get down about it.

- It's not Amber.

- Jay, what is it?

- You know, when she and I found Bray in the deleted list?

- Yeah.

[computer beeps]

[sad music]

- He's dead, Drew.

I'm never gonna see him again.

[Trudy gasps]

- Figures, Lex is a neanderthal.

I'm surprised it's taken her so long to assess him.

- Siva has always been a sucker for the bad guys.

- You think she's ready to recruit?

- I don't think she's quite there yet.

But I'm working on her.

- We need to get Ebony soon.

I hit her with a massive dose in the Paradise program.

Would have fried most people's brains

but it's gonna wear off unless we can top it up.

[knocking at door]

- She's early.

Come in.

- I was just leaving.

- Java?

- Thanks for coming.

- Siva told me it was important.

- There are some things I want to say to you

before it's too late.

- Too late for what?

- I don't know what they're going to do to me.

Even if they don't get rid of me,

I don't know for how long I can go on like this.

I want to make my peace with you.

- Yeah?

- I know it's a bad time to lay this on you

with Jay and Amber and everything.

- What do you know about Jay and Amber?

- Just what Siva told me.

That's partly what set me thinking.

Knowing I could have warned you.

- Warned me of what?

- You know, how obsessed he's always been with her.

From the day they met.

I just feel so bad I didn't say anything.

[computer beeps]

- Are you saying they were an item then?

- From the word go.

And from what I hear, they still are.

- [Zoot] When will you believe what I tell you?

You have lost him forever.

- What is it?

You look like you've seen a ghost.

Ebony, tell me.

You can tell me.

- I have, Java.

I've seen him.

I've seen Zoot.

[mysterious music]

And I'm gonna spread his message to the world.
