[birds chirping]

- Hey.

Someone should say something.

Do you want me to?

- He never really joined us.

Not officially.

He was too much his own man, a loner.

"Why do we need tribes," he used to say,

"when everyone on the planet is connected."

And yet, in some ways he represented

everything the Mall Rats stand for.

Gentleness, kindness,

but also strength.

And now he's gone, the world is a scarier place.

But we have to carry on.

We have to celebrate his life, and what he stood for.

[sirens]

- Bow down before Ebony, the bride of Zoot.

Only Ebony is Zoot's representative among all,

and fulfill his prophecies to bring power and chaos

to the world!

- Are you okay?

You sure?

- I just haven't been to many funerals.

Not since the virus.

It just brought it all back, that's all.

- I know how much you cared for him.

But it's gonna be okay, really.

- What do you mean?

- We've lost friends before, but whenever we lose someone,

the tribe grows stronger.

We will get through this, you'll see.

- Alright, thanks.

- If you think about it, it could have been a lot worse.

We could have lost Salene, too.

[dog barking]

- That's it.

That's all you could find?

There's a whole city out there, Slade.

- It's a computer, isn't it?

- Yeah, I need lots of them, to link up together.

Understand?

Look, if you want me to build something,

I need processors, hard drive, and memory.

Lots and lots of memory.

- Anything else, like software?

- I don't run software.

I write it.

Just get me some memory, okay.

- What exactly are you gonna do with this computer

when it's all linked up, huh?

- You tell me, Slade.

I mean, this was your idea, wasn't it?

To put Ram to good use.

I'm afraid that Ram without a computer

is just no use at all.

- Memory.

- I don't mean to hurry you,

but the kids are on their own at the mall.

It was beautiful, what Salene said,

about him being home.

- He'd have been home a lot sooner

if it wasn't for me and my wonderful principles.

He'd be alive, too.

- No Amber, there's nothing to discuss.

Not with Salene's life on the line.

- You can't blame yourself, Amber.

Pride only did what he wanted to do.

And as for his principles,

well, I think they're the same as yours.

- This is unbelievable.

When Salene's life is on the line, Ram's too dangerous,

but as soon as you want the power back on,

hey, let's get him back here.

- It's a turn-up.

Telling me not to blame myself.

Isn't that what I'm supposed to say to you?

- First rule of conquering a people.

Get them scared, and keep them that way.

That's where Ram got it all wrong,

he thought he could buy them off with paradise,

but you give them candy, they just keep

coming back for more, until one day, no more candy.

You never run out of fear, though.

That's the secret.

Brand new day is coming, Stats.

We're gonna rule over this city.

And the whole empire.

Maybe the world.

Such a pity you won't be there to see it.

- I wanted to thank you, May.

- Thank me, what for?

- I know you did your best, trying to make a deal

with those creeps to get me released.

Not knowing what they were gonna do.

I mean, for all you knew,

they could have taken you prisoner.

- Yeah, it was nothing.

- Hey, I'm proud of you, how you handled it back there.

- It was all an act.

To tell you the truth, Amber,

I wish they'd killed me instead of Pride.

[sirens]

- Get down!

- [Salene] It's just like the old days.

Zoot's back.

- There it is!

- Salene!

- He's gone to a better place,

that's what you have to remember.

He's up there right now in the sky,

with his mummy and daddy, looking down on us.

- Salene said they took him to the woods.

- His body's in the woods.

But his spirit's in the sky.

Don't they teach you kids anything?

- Wherever he went, he's not coming back, is he?

- You mustn't think about that.

You'll make yourselves miserable.

The best thing we can do is try to find a way

to cheer ourselves up.

I know, let's have a fashion parade.

I'll teach you how to walk like a real model.

- If you wouldn't mind, I think we'll stay miserable

just a little bit longer.

- Suit yourself.

[sad music]

- Hey, Ruby, how's it going?

- What's all that for?

- This?

Oh, Gabe likes to play solitaire, and he hates cards,

since they're dirty.

What can you do?

- You know we don't allow Paradise in this place.

- No, ma'am, no chance of any Paradise for me.

- It's alright Salene, we're home now.

- I'll take her from here.

- Is she alright?

- She'll be fine.

- Jay, you're here.

What happened.

- Ebony is what happened.

They're going crazy for Zoot out there.

My broadcast achieved nothing.

If anything, it made things worse.

- You could be right.

- Well what do you think?

That Zoot image was obviously a fake.

A computer image, maybe?

- Or a hologram.

- You know about these kinds of things?

- Well I know it wasn't Zoot.

And a hologram will give you that halo-like effect.

- Whatever it is, Ram's behind it.

No one else in the city has that kind of technology.

- What about Ebony?

You see her out there?

She's rounding up the old gang, it's like Loco City.

- Yeah, and some new kids too, from out of town.

- Right, so what are we waiting for?

Let's go and hit them.

- What, now?

- You got something better to do?

- Well, Lex, I mean, we're pretty outnumbered.

- We could take the stun guns, might even the odds.

- No.

Even with the stun guns,

you just finished burying your friend.

You won't be a match for Ebony, not in this state.

- Every day we wait, Ebony gets stronger.

- Yeah Lex, but Mega's right, we're not ready.

- [Jay] Talking of burying our friend,

what about the scumbags that wasted him?

- Well Salene took care of Wizard.

As for the other one, Stats, he disappeared.

I wouldn't worry about him.

I doubt we'll ever see him again.

[roars]

- Do you know who I am?

- Should I?

- I'm the leader of the Jackals.

You better let me go or there'll be trouble.

- Did you hear that my Lord?

A jackal.

Oh, what should we do with him.

- [Voiceover] Arrest him.

- Good idea.

- Who's she talking to?

- Zoot says Jackals are the favorite food of lions.

Take them away.

[roars]

- Some honeymoon.

- What?

- Mr. And Mrs. Zoot over there.

- I don't know how you can joke about this, Java.

She stole our sister.

- What's the matter with you?

Are you going soft on me?

- I agreed to use her fantasies to get what we want.

I just didn't think she'd take it this far.

- Relax.

Look at the fear she's generating.

It's gonna be a breeze to take over the city.

Everything's working out better than I dreamed it would.

Besides, I'm kinda jealous of her.

- Jealous?

Of Ebony?

- Why not?

She's got her fantasy guy.

And since he's not real, he can't dump her.

Oh, it's a marriage made in heaven.

- Is she gonna be alright?

- Yeah, Salene's upset, she just needs to rest.

- Then why did she faint?

Gel said she saw something in the city, something bad.

- Try not to worry about it, Mouse.

Come on, let's get you something to eat.

- Are you just gonna sit there while Ebony

builds an army out there?

Seems a shame, doesn't it, after we

risked our necks defeating Ram.

- So what do you suggest we do?

What, do we go and round them up, just the two of us?

- Take some of the troops.

At least track 'em down, find out where their base is.

Come on, Jay.

- Look, Mega said--

- Since when has Mega run the show?

Don't let's make a meaning out of this.

It's guy stuff.

Right?

- Alright.

I'll round up some men.

- Great.

Jack, get over here!

- Yeah, what's up?

- You just volunteered for special duty.

[crying]

- Tragic affair.

- Excuse me.

- This business with Pride, very tragic.

- Yeah.

- Especially for you.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- It's just that there was a rumor going around

that you and Pride, well that you cared for each other

at one time.

- So?

- So, it was good news for Salene when you were captured

by the bad old Technos.

Soon as you're back was turned, she moves in.

That's gotta hurt.

- Get out of here.

- Actually, I was just leaving.

Why don't you come back with me to the hotel?

We'll talk some more.

- We've got nothing to talk about.

- Oh, I don't know.

We've got a lot in common, May.

You're pretty cool, you got a lotta guts.

Like right now, you're breaking up inside,

but you keep it under control, I like that.

- Are you gonna cut to the chase?

- I know you lied to Wizard, telling him the Mall Rats

wouldn't play ball.

Practically begging him to delete Salene.

- Wait a minute!

- But it didn't work out that way, did it?

That's what happens when emotions get in the way.

Now Pride's dead, and all you wanna do is cry, like her.

Cry like you've never cried before.

But you can't.

Because you're wondering if they already suspect the truth.

- What do you want?

- Like I said, to talk.

Don't worry, your secret's safe, I'm the only one who knows.

I think.

[hip-hop music]

- [Jack] Look at this place.

- Yeah, no one trashes a town quite like a bunch of Locos.

- Yeah well at least they're easy to track.

- Get down!

See anybody out there?

- No, nothing yet. [mumbles]

- We've got a job to do.

- [Voiceover] You are not alone, my bride.

- [Siva] Ebony, can I talk with you?

- What's the problem?

- No problem.

I just wanted to know, are you okay?

You know, are you happy?

- Strange kind of question to ask a new bride.

- [Voiceover] That's right.

- Well yeah, but that's because it's all been so sudden.

I'm concerned for you, that's all.

- No need to be.

I'm following my destiny.

- [Voiceover] Tell her where it's at.

- With Zoot?

- One day, when you're all alone,

wondering what to do with your life,

then suddenly you get swept off your feet

and put on the right path.

- What about Jay?

Didn't you once have those kind of feelings for him?

- How can you compare a mere mortal with a god?

- [Voiceover] The only God.

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean--

- No need to be.

As long as you don't become blind to Zoot's message.

As I was once.

We have to give up worldly things, Siva,

we have to let Zoot into our hearts.

Nothing else matters.

- Salene?

Can I ask you something?

- What is it?

- Those guys that kidnapped you?

Did they say anything about anything?

- Like what?

- Oh, you know, like where they were gonna set up base,

or where they were heading, or how the negotiations

were going, that kind of thing.

- They kept me pretty much in the dark.

Why do you ask?

- Oh, I just...

I want to find that guy.

The one called Stats.

I really hate him for what he did to you,

and I just thought you might have some clues.

- May, there's no point in going after him.

Getting revenge on them won't bring Pride back.

Besides, I don't think Pride would

want you to put yourself in danger.

- I guess not.

Well thanks.

- Don't go!

Sit with me for a while.

I feel a lot closer to you now after all we've been through.

- Me too.

- May, can I tell you something?

I haven't even told Amber yet.

- Sure.

- You know the night before the raid on the Technos?

When we knew we might be walking into a trap?

Remember?

- Yeah.

- Well, Pride asked me to marry him.

We were gonna be married, May.

What is it?

- Maybe you're better off.

- What?

- Well he may have said that.

I mean, people say all kinds of things, but,

if I know Pride, he wasn't really the marrying type.

Look, he was a free spirit, you know that.

His home was in the woods and I just don't think

he would have given that up.

Not for anyone.

[growls]

- What better place to look for Zoot?

In a zoo.

- Has some tribe been running this place since the Virus?

- I don't know.

- Look out!

- [Jack] Do we hide?

- Too late, we've been spotted.

- [Jack] What do we, fight it out?

- What would be the guy thing to do?

- Run. - Run.

[yelling]

- Let's put you down.

There you go.

Hey, you alright?

- Yeah.

I've come to a decision.

- What about?

- This was Pride's.

- Yeah, I know, it's his amulet.

Every Eco tribe member is given one when they join.

- I was gonna keep it to remember him by.

- That's a good idea.

- Pride never felt at home in the mall.

So it feels wrong to keep this here.

It should go back to the Eco tribe.

I wanna give him back, Amber.

I wanna give him back to the Ecos.

I want you to come with me, 'cause I don't think

I can do it on my own.

- What brought this on?

- Something May said, actually.

She helped me realize I need to let go.

[sad music]

[crying]

- May, promise.

- Promise what?

- Tell Salene I love her.

- Pride!

- [Slade] What are you doing now?

- Familiarizing myself.

Getting to know the machine.

- You really understand these things?

I wouldn't know what to do with one.

- Well I wouldn't know what to do without one,

so I guess that makes us even.

- Course, you have an advantage over me.

- Yeah, I'm intelligent.

- No, I meant being stuck in a wheelchair.

I was wondering, is that how you got started?

Looking for something to do?

- Look, do you mind?

That's not a toy.

- Oh, sorry.

- Now if you've finished wrecking the equipment,

I'd kinda like to concentrate.

- It was afterwards, wasn't it?

- What?

- The accident.

Whatever happened to you.

It was after you took up with computers,

maybe because of one?

- Maybe you're not so stupid after all.

- Course you don't have to tell me.

- Look, what do you know about reality space?

- Is that like Paradise?

- This was before the days of Paradise.

Back in those days, we had no safety features.

Didn't know we'd need them.

Just strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.

It was a blast.

Look, when you were a kid, did you ever dream

you were running down the street and then suddenly,

you just took off, leaving the ground behind?

- And there I was, thinking it was just about

clicking the mouse.

You tried to fly, didn't you?

- Fell off a 20-foot high wall onto concrete.

Once I dreamed of flying around the world,

now I'd be pleased if I could walk across this room.

Satisfied?

- Alright, I'm here.

What's this all about?

- Uh, guys, give us a minute.

Might wanna keep your voice down.

- You can't prove anything.

Tell the Mall Rats whatever you want.

It's your word against mine.

- You're forgetting Stats.

- No, he got away.

Didn't he?

- That's true, he did.

But not before we had a little chat.

- We thought they didn't care about Salene,

wouldn't pay any ransom for her.

That's what May told us.

She said we'd better waste Salene.

Otherwise if she ever got free, we'd be dead men.
