["The Dream Must Stay Alive"]

♪ 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.

- Did you miss me?

- It was just a dream.

You were shouting.

- It was that Zoot, it was so real.

He was coming to get us.

He was coming to get us all.

- I'm gonna go get May.

[uneasy music]

Sammy, Sammy, she's not there.

Her bed hasn't even been slept in.

- Well? - Nothing.

- Nothing.

- We've widened the search.

Ram's just vanished.

- Ram, or his rotting body, must be found.

[mouse squeaks]

- I can't stay here, it's filthy, I'll die.

I'm ill, I need things.

Medicines, somewhere sterile, germ-free.

- Is that right?

- My system needs special conditions.

I've gotta be monitored.

I need a special hygienic regime.

No dust, no germs, special food.

[chuckles]

Something amusing you?

- Nope, but I'm beginning to see why somebody dumped you

on a rubbish tip.

- I could die.

- Okay, could you like just get on with it.

I got a heap of other things to do.

- What's the word out there?

- For what it's worth, Ram was dumped on a garbage tip.

- A what, where?

Let's go.

- Too late, he's vanished.

- A garbage tip, geeze, do you think he'd survive that?

- Statistically, I'd say the odds were heavily against,

maybe 80, 20, or 85.

- If only he'd use his homing beacon,

we could've tracked him.

- Maybe he did.

- No way, we would've known.

What?

- Batteries. - Sets?

- I asked you to remember, remember?

What are we gonna do about her?

- She's gettin' to be a real liability.

- He's got to be out there somewhere.

- Most likely dead.

- No, no, my men would've found the body by now.

They've searched the city with a fine toothed comb.

- Calm down, I've never seen you like this.

You're Mr. Cool, remember?

- Java, you know what Ram was capable of.

Suppose he finds someone to help him get him stuff he needs

so he can set up again?

You know the first people he's gonna be looking for.

- Person.

- What?

- The first person, not people.

I'm your prisoner, remember?

I was on Ram's side.

I mean, if that's what we want the city to believe,

then he'll believe it too.

It's a joke.

We're in this together.

Would you lighten up?

Everything's going well.

I'm moving in on Ebony today.

- Amber.

We need to talk.

- About? - A lot of things.

Paradise, this whole Zoot thing.

- I think Lex is right, I think it's just

a practical joke on Ram.

The kids out there are so screwed up,

they'll believe anything.

Zoot is dead.

We burned his body in a boat, Bray and I.

It's just a very, very bad joke.

- Then the sooner we get the headsets,

then the sooner we can clean this mess up.

- Like I said before, Jay, it's your mess, not mine.

- You don't think you're being a bit unreasonable, Amber?

Getting the headsets was your idea.

- Excuse me.

- Good, was she?

- What?

- Better than me?

- You're not saying that--

- Why not?

You haven't been able to keep your eyes off her

ever since she came back.

- Ebony, we've been through this.

- Maybe you've been playing me along all the while.

Maybe that DVD of you and Amber in cyberspace

wasn't in cyberspace after all.

Maybe it was in real time.

- You're being paranoid.

- Oh, I'm paranoid as well as insane, is that it?

Is that the story you're both cooking up?

Oh, you just listen to me, Jay.

- No, you listen to me.

You're seeing things that don't exist,

and it's destroying you piece by piece.

Nothing is going on between me and Amber, got it?

Nothing.

- Not from where I'm standing.

- Mornin'.

- Hi.

Ew, look at me, like I've been dragged

through a hedge backwards.

It's okay for you.

- What, you mean nobody will wanna beat my brains out

'cause I'm untidy?

- You know what I mean.

- A pickax handle isn't gonna care what shade

of lipstick you've got on.

- But. - Oh, get down.

- [Girl] Watch my hair.

- [Boy] Somebody coming.

- [Girl] Who is it?

- [Boy] How do I know?

- It could've been someone I knew.

- Excuse me for wanting to survive.

Do you want me to get him back and we can invite him

back for tea?

- Now you're being silly.

- I'm being silly.

I'm the one who wants to find a safe place.

- Nowhere's a safe place.

- The mall, my friends, that's where we should be going,

Gel, not out into nowhere.

- I'm not going back to the city, no way.

I don't wanna bump into Zoot.

- But listen to sense.

- Siva, bear with me, please.

You think I wanted her just to turn up?

You think I enjoy seeing you hurt like this?

- But you're gonna keep looking for her, right?

Maybe she doesn't wanna be found.

- Say again.

- Maybe she saw how things are with you and me.

Maybe she's clearing the way for us.

- If I thought that were true,

I'd give up looking for her right now.

But I have to give her the chance to say all of that.

To put all of this away for good.

You've gotta let me do that.

- Hey, hey, have you seen this guy?

- No, sorry.

[intense music]

- Mouse, you all by yourself?

- Yeah, they're all gone.

- Who, who've all gone?

- Saline, Pride, and now May, she's gone.

Who's gonna be next?

- Hey, I'm here and Amber and Jay.

- But what about when you're not here?

Who's gonna look after me then?

- Listen, I'm sure we'll find them.

- It's Zoot, isn't it?

- Zoot?

- He's taken them, he's bad.

- Mouse, that is all just silly gossip.

Who's been saying that to you?

- Sammy, he said, he said that Zoot's gonna get us all,

all the Mall Rats, because you wasted him.

- Well, well, well, Mr. Hero.

You plan any coups lately?

- I don't have time for this, Lex.

- Oh no, I forgot, you need people to help you

with that don't you, like Tai-San.

- Look, I'm sorry you haven't found her, but--

- But she served her purpose, right?

- That's not how it was, Lex, and you know it.

- No, I don't know that.

All I know.

All I know is that she was back in my life for 10 minutes,

and it was just long enough to--

- I wish I could help. - Yeah.

- Look, if you wanna take your mind off things,

we could use your help.

- Doing what?

- Collecting headsets.

- You've got the amnesty.

- Yep, that's from the sensible ones.

We still need to collect from those who

don't wanna give 'em up.

We can use all the help we can get.

- I'll think about it.

- Come to think of it, I do remember May saying something

about going away for a couple of days just to be on her own.

- Really, did she really?

- Yeah, something like that.

- Yeah, I remember her saying that now.

- Do you think they look alike?

- Well, they are cousins.

- Will they every see their daddies?

- We were just finished.

I'll see you later, Trudy.

- Mouse, can you finish this?

- Sure.

- Jay.

[giggles]

Don't blame her.

- Is this how it's gonna be from now on, her avoiding me?

Me feeling like a heel every time I look at her?

- She needs time.

- We had a trust between us.

Now all I feel is disappointment.

I've lost her friendship.

That, I'll have to live with,

but if she can't forgive me for what happened to Bray.

- I will speak to her.

- Hey, Slade, you got a minute?

Look, what I said earlier, things they just got

on top of me, you know.

I mean, hell, I'm grateful you brought me here.

Not everybody would help a man not even knowing who he was.

- So, who are you?

- The name's Gabe, short for Gabriel.

So, tell me, Slade, just where are we?

- Tell me, Gabe, who's Mega?

- Mega?

- The guy you shout about in your sleep.

- Oh, if I'm disturbing you at night, slick, I'm real sorry.

- He's the guy who dumped you, right?

- Friends argue.

He'll pay for it.

- I'll bet he's trembling in his boots.

- Okay everyone, listen up.

You might be ex-Techno's, but we have to stick together.

The soup business has stirred up a lot of crazies out there.

Stay in twos and threes, anymore could be seen as a threat.

The headset amnesty, anybody volunteers a headset, take it,

or direct them to a collection point.

Any questions?

- How do we deal with violence?

- Play it cool, withdraw.

Only use your weapons if you have to.

There's a lot of bad feeling out there,

do nothing to aggravate it.

This has to be handled delicately.

- Headsets.

Thank you.

[baby coos]

- I know why you're here, Trudy.

- And you know what I'm gonna say.

- I just can't get around the fact that he was part

of Bray's death, I can't.

Look at him.

It's like Mouse said, he'll never know his father.

Sorry, I didn't mean it badly.

- No, it's okay, it's okay.

- Now I know what you must've gone through.

- Well, I had you to help me, and Bray.

- You must miss him almost as much as I do.

- He was the best.

And you were the best thing to happen to him.

So don't spend too much time blaming.

He wouldn't have wanted it.

Did you know that Jay lost his brother too?

- Bud?

I knew he was missing, but,

no, no I didn't.

- So now he has to live with the fact that the system

he helped set up killed the only brother he had.

- Alright, you stay here and I'll go to the other town.

- You're kidding?

- Well, you know, it might be dangerous.

- If you were a bad guy, would you choose to live

in a place called Liberty?

What would that do to your street cred?

You think there might be a store?

I'd kill for some ice.

- Yeah, let's just keep walking, eh?

Okay, let's get off the streets.

- Is that the best you could do?

- It's a start.

- That doesn't even scratch the surface.

- I didn't see you out there.

- I said I'd think about it, which is exactly what I did.

- Nothing in it for Lex, that it?

- No, I just don't see myself taking orders from Technos.

- My men have been out there all day to bring those in.

If you have any better ideas, let's hear them.

- I'm sorry, Mr. Techno, but that is your problem.

You produced 'em, you get rid of 'em,

but just remember, if there's any left out there

when the power comes back on, ooooh.

- Thanks.

Hey, you know what we were talking about earlier,

about that guy, Mega.

In the circumstances, if somebody was to collect from him,

could be very profitable for that person.

- Your revenge, friend, is your business.

- Revenge?

Could you really see me taking revenge from a bed, helpless?

I got no way of fighting back, I've got nothing.

So just how do you suppose I take revenge, Slade?

- If you want it badly enough, you'll find a way.

- Hey, you.

- Lex.

Have you found Tai-San yet?

- No, have you?

- I told you.

- It's not your problem?

Well, rubbish, I think you're holding out on me.

- Why would I do that?

- 'Cause you're a Techno.

Maybe I should beat it out of you.

- Well, if it makes you feel better.

Look, if there's anything I can tell you that might help,

you just have to ask.

- Okay, how did Tai-San fit into the system?

Was she programmed, threatened, forced to act, what?

- Well, Ram favored her strongly.

- Favored?

- You might not wanna hear this.

He wanted her.

In fact, he was planning on taking her

with him into cyberspace.

- What?

- But we both know he never went into cyberspace.

- So what are you saying?

- You really wanna find Tai-San?

Find Ram, odds are that's where she'll be.

- My turn, the Modes.

We used to raid for cosmetics.

Jack, would you do my hair at the back, please?

As I was saying, we Modes, we were wicked.

My friend, Belright, she had long, long nails,

and really cool hair.

She had like the whole manicure.

- Hey.

- Going somewhere?

- The headset hunt.

Jay asked if I could help find some of the ones

that are hidden away.

- Can't it wait?

- Well, it seems not.

- You could go first thing in the morning.

- I thought I'd spend some time out there trying

to find Ram.

- Yeah, will this be before or after you've

found the headsets?

- Well. - Bull, who do you think

you're trying to kid, Lex?

You've got wind of Tai-San, haven't you?

- No.

- What is it?

You heard of somebody who saw her out there balanced

on one foot in disguise facing east?

- You don't own me.

- Wait a minute, you found her.

Why else would you be in such an all fired hurry

to get away?

- Leave me alone.

- I've brought you some champaign.

It's a good vin, it's straight from the tap.

What's this, the Iron Maiden crying?

- Please, please help me.

I'm so frightened.

I'm scared, what if they don't find Ram?

What's gonna happen to me then?

- You should've thought about that before you trashed Ram.

- But it wasn't me.

It was Jay and Amber.

I'm not a fighter.

Look at me, I'm just a helpless, frightened girl.

- Don't even think about it.

- You. - No violence.

- What?

- I said no violence, we want her in one piece, don't we?

- At least if they don't find Ram,

I'm gonna have the pleasure of dealing with you.

- It's where we used to come when we had time.

It's heard most of the things we had to say to each other.

[gentle music]

- [Trudy] I can't push anymore.

- Come on now, just one really big effort.

- Bray, I'm pregnant.

[bird chirps]

Bye, Bray.

- I'm glad you came.

- Well?

- I wondered, after what you said.

- About Zoot?

- I was concerned.

- For me?

- You are my sister.

- And you, you think I'm going crazy.

- I didn't say that.

- Why not?

Everybody else does.

Why can't they see, Java?

It was meant to be.

And they can't destroy Zoot.

Zoot is a god.

You remember the Guardian?

He was right.

He was a prophet.

If only I'd seen it then.

- You see it now.

- Yes, I see it.

I see him now.

He's in this room with us.

Why is it only me?

- It's not only you, Ebony.

I can see him too.
