- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

[chanting]

- Why can't they just be quiet?

- They don't want to miss Zoot when he comes back.

- But Zoot's dead.

Zoot's dead, you stupid people.

- Tomorrow.

That's when they say he's coming.

[chanting]

- Hey sorry, Trudy, but you said we could...

- Amber.

[soft music]

- [Lex] Do you get any real men around here?

- [Ruby] Real?

- Yeah you know, a man that can show a girl a good time.

- No, I don't suppose we do.

- Well.

Maybe you should look a little closer then.

- Maybe you should do something about your halitosis.

- What?

- Slade.

Good trip?

- No cuffs.

- Ruby and I came to a agreement, right Ruby?

- Yeah, you could say that.

- Yeah.

We got on really well.

You know, when a man appreciates a woman--

- Oh, and he appreciates a woman.

- It's not all that difficult.

- Strikes me then.

Halitosis apart.

You found yourself a friend.

- Is that all you're having?

- Not hungry.

- Jay--

- Jay yeah, can I have a word with you?

- Not now, Jack, thanks.

- Sure, sorry.

- Look Trudy, I know what you were gonna say.

Amber--

- No Jay, not Amber.

Me.

Us.

I need to hear from you straight.

Are you really happy for us to go on as we are

after what has happened with her?

- Haven't you been listening?

I'm sure I want to be with you.

- I hear you, Jay, but that is not what I asked.

- Then let me clarify.

- Amber, hey, we need to talk.

- What makes you think I have all the answers?

- What?

- Am I the only person that can work out

anything for myself anymore?

Doesn't anyone know anything?

- Okay sorry, but like, who the heck do I talk to?

You know, I mean, Jay's preoccupied,

Salene, I can't, you know, bother her,

so who does that leave?

Mouse?

Gel?

- Okay, okay, what is it?

- Okay, okay, tomorrow's the day, right?

You know, Zoot cometh, resurrection time,

and they're getting a line out there already.

- What's the point, Jack?

- The point is that we need to suss out

what's gonna happen.

You know, what's this shadow at noon gaff?

How are they gonna make a Zoot appear before a crowd?

If that happens--

- Jack, not now.

Come by my place in, I don't know, an hour.

- An hour?

You want an hour.

- Take it or leave it, Jack.

Right now, I don't care which.

- What was it like outside?

- Interesting.

In a Zooty kind of way.

- Bad?

- Like you wouldn't believe.

- How bad, Slade?

- I see gangs chasing a lone woman

through the streets with clubs in their hands.

I reckon they're not collecting for the Red Cross.

- Well, you know who's behind it all, don't you?

- So you keep saying.

And Ebony?

- You came across Ebony?

- That's one way of putting it.

What's her story?

- Why don't you ask the man she married?

- Well, it might be a little difficult,

seeing he's dead.

- I don't mean Zoot.

- Ram?

- Could be a little awkward.

Looks like her first guy's on the way home.

Arrives tomorrow.

- May, how nice.

You know Darryl.

You have something for us?

- You asked me to reach out the mood in the mall.

- And?

- No change, no threat.

- Jack?

- If he could get anyone to take him seriously,

he might be a problem.

- Any chance of that happening?

- They're also biting each other's backs.

Nobody's got their head together.

- So, we're home and dry.

- Sorry?

- What Darryl means is that it's good news for tomorrow.

- The second coming of Zoot.

- Yeah.

How's that gonna work?

- Like a dream, right Mega?

- We have it well planned, yes.

- Be there, May.

I can promise you a real surprise.

- Enough, Darryl.

Out.

- What's he on about?

- Sorry May, you know I trust you.

I just don't want to give away too much.

[chanting]

- Zoot stinks, Zoot stinks.

- Mouse, you never know who's listening.

- Listening?

Gel, you're not out in the streets anymore, you know?

This is the mall.

Everyone in here is friends.

- Yeah, Amber and Trudy didn't seem friends earlier.

- Well, that's stuff between them.

Nothing to do with you.

- It's over Jay, isn't it?

- Nothing to do with you.

- If you ask me, Amber needs to outshine the competition.

Now, if it's between me and her for Lex--

- Mouse, could you look after the baby for me?

Just for half an hour.

There's something I've gotta do.

- Sure, Amber.

- Thanks, whenever you're ready.

- Amber.

- Yeah?

- About Jay.

- Gel.

- I always find a good makeover does the trick.

Looks like Trudy already knows that.

So, if you want my advice, we could,

or maybe not?

Something the matter?

- Yeah, I'm just trying to imagine you with a brain, Gel.

It isn't easy.

Maybe your sole purpose in life

is to serve as a warning to others, yeah?

- Okay, they have someone who looks like Zoot

and they bring him out and they say, look.

Here's Zoot.

No, that doesn't seem enough.

There's something missing, Sammy.

- Yeah, but what?

- Okay, think about it.

There must be, you know, some other element

that would, you know, really convince people that it's Zoot.

- Maybe it's enough they just want to believe.

- Amber.

- [Amber] So what have we got?

- Search me, okay?

How do you convince a city full of people

that seeing is believing?

- Special effects?

- Well it has to be but what?

I mean, what shadow or no, what is there?

When is the shadow at noon?

- Well, the shadow's the shortest at noon.

- Normally, yes but think abnormal.

- I remember reading when Jesus died,

the whole earth was a shadow.

- Earth.

Shadow, Sammy, you've got it.

- I have?

- Yeah, I'm with you.

- Tomorrow's gonna be a total solar eclipse.

The, you know, the shadow at noon.

- The oldest trick in the book.

- Yes but very effective because

not only will Zoot look like he's appearing,

but it'll look like he's switching

the sun off while he does it.

- Yeah.

[chuckling]

[soft music]

- Ellie, you okay?

I've got some good news for you.

We found where Jack is and your other friends.

- You have?

- Uh-huh.

So, how would you feel about going to see them?

I'll take you, no problem.

- I'd like that.

- Then that's settled.

How about you take some time making yourself look pretty?

I mean prettier.

And I'll pick you up a little later.

- Okay, and thank you.

I don't know why you've been so kind to me but

I don't know how I can ever repay you.

- You'll find a way.

All I'm concerned about right now

is that you be with your friends.

- Gel, keep moving.

[baby gurgles]

- This must be what a goldfish feels like.

- Yeah, we'll just have to get used to it, I guess.

- Sure.

- What, you think it's too big a price

to pay for what we've got?

- No, of course not, it's just--

- What?

- I worry about you, Trudy.

You know, with this Zoot thing and Brady.

- Jay, you don't think they'll target Brady.

I mean, I watch her constantly.

I should be with her now only--

- No no no, it's Zoot the people want.

Not his daughter.

- You're sure.

- What I mean is,

you know, with all this strain,

and people tiptoeing around us, and Amber--

- Jay, what are you trying to say?

- Just that if it would help

for you to have some space,

I could move out for a bit.

- No!

- Just awhile might be all that we need.

- Jay, no way.

Where would you go?

- I don't know.

- Who with?

- What do you mean?

- You tell me.

- Trudy, it's you that I want to be with.

- Sea creature, two words, five and three.

- [Lex] You actually get something out of that?

- Wouldn't do it if I didn't.

- Ship's cat.

Two words, five and three.

- Go, Ram.

- Sea creature.

Ship's cat?

- Have you got a better one, Lex?

Or is this all a little too high brow for you?

- Yeah, I do.

Two words, first word's get,

second word's what happens to a goose at Christmas.

- How many letters in that second word again?

- Work it out yourself.

- Spell goose.

No, spell rabbit.

Lex, go right ahead, spell dog.

[laughs]

- Spell cripple, Ram.

- Boys, come on.

- You think you're so smart.

How smart do you think you'd look

spread out all over the floor here?

- Oh, if I could accommodate you, Lex,

I'd love to teach you a lesson.

- Anything wrong with your arms?

- Spell loser.

[soft music]

Thank you!

I'd forgotten what it feels like to win.

I appreciate it.

- You're still a loser.

I'm the one who's walking away from this table.

- Ram, are you okay?

- Ooh, I'm better than okay.

I'm flying.

[laughs]

[dramatic music]

[clapping]

[groans]

[chanting]

[sirens blaring]

- Recognize this area?

- Should I?

- No matter.

Just up the road are your friends and Jack.

They're going to be so glad to see you.

- Aren't you gonna come up with me?

- I can't, I have work to do.

- But I don't want to go up there on my own.

- My assistants will show you the way.

Once inside, you won't be on your own.

That's the good thing about it.

Oh, and Ellie.

I thought you might be able to use these.

- What is it?

- Just a few clothes I don't use anymore.

Gotta look your best for the party.

- There'll be a party?

- You bet, a welcome home party.

Have a blast.

- Sore?

- Just stiff.

- I didn't mean the arm.

- He caught me on a bad day.

- [Slade] You have good ones, huh?

- Would you do me a favor and just get off my case?

- Well, how about you get off Ram's case, huh?

Like blaming him for the state of the city.

You're beginning to sound like a one string fiddle.

- While he was running the show,

you were probably off somewhere roping a steer.

Ram was a scourge.

- Whatever he was, he ain't now.

The only name I heard down there was Zoot.

And Ebony.

You got the low down on her?

- Low down's about right.

She's poison, man.

Ruins every man she comes across.

Cheated, lied, sold out.

She's dangerous.

- That good, huh?

- On a one to 10 with your average evil

dictator at about three, she's way off the scale.

- Not your average housewife then.

- Ebony eats average housewives for breakfast.

Raw.

- I can't imagine Ram getting it on with her.

He's no dummy.

- Ram thought he could control her, like they all do.

But sooner or later,

what Ebony wants, Ebony gets.

- This bracelet belonged to our tribe leader, Snazza.

- What happened to her?

- [Gel] Dunno, don't know what happened to any of them.

- Oh, that's sad.

- Don't look now, but there's a geek standing behind you.

- [Mouse] Ellie, Ellie!

- Thanks, Siva.

I've got to look my best for Zoot tomorrow.

You look pleased, Java.

- Do I?

Can't think why.

Unless it's because I just pulled off

the best bit of business

since we took over this poxy city.

- What have you done now?

- Well, only lined up the Mall Rats

for a bit of good old fashioned extermination.

- What?

- Skipping the details.

Let's just say that right now,

they're sitting on top of a very highly explosive situation.

- The Ellie girl.

- Primed and ready.

And surrounded by her adoring friends.

One button push away from oblivion.

Boom!

- You'd wipe them all out, just like that.

- After what they did to me?

You kidding?

- Ebony, they were your friends.

- Where's the detonator control?

- Right in the next room.

- Do it.

- Ebony, no!

- You know?

Maybe Siva's right.

- What?

- Maybe we should wait a bit.

Let them enjoy their last meal together.

[laughs]

It's the least we can do.

[laughs]

- Java, you silly, silly girl.

What are you up to?

- I don't believe it.

- It's so good to see you.

- [Jay] Ellie, I'm so relieved that you're safe.

- I remember you.

A little.

- Ellie, are you okay?

- Ellie, you're home, we're your friends.

- My friends?

- She's not herself.

- Ellie, you remember me?

Mouse?

- Mouse?

- Ellie!

Is it you?

- Jack.

- Just take a tip, Slade.

Ebony's worth steering clear of.

- Our paths crossed, that's all.

- Let me guess.

She fluttered her eyelashes at you

and your hormones were doing somersaults.

- My hormones are my business.

She's a foxy lady.

- Let me guess who you're talking about.

Ebony.

She swore her loyalty to me

through lips as red as cherries,

and then destroyed my life,

from the depths of the hardest, darkest cold.

- Bull.

I know Ebony.

Ebony wants power.

You gave her power, why would she throw that away?

- For more power, Mega power.

- Mega is not behind all of this.

You are.

You and Ebony.

- That's right, Lex.

I dumped myself out on the top of a rubber sheep,

then I organized for Sladey boy here

to come and pick me up, bring me here.

In my room upstairs under the bed,

I have a state of the art communication system

in which I stay in touch with Zoot.

Any day now, him and Ebony are gonna come

riding into town and pick me up and take me home.

Do you wanna see where I keep my stun gun?

- Mega is just a convenient alibi.

- Like I said, Lex, you're far too smart for me.

- Whew.

I'm so glad to see you.

I mean, to tell you the truth,

I never thought I'd see you again.

- Was I gone a really long time?

- It was like forever.

- Jack, why do I remember you and none of the others?

- I don't know.

I mean, we got on pretty well.

I mean, you and me most of the time.

We were in love.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, very much.

Look at you, all pretty as ever.

Hey, and you know, don't worry about

not remembering and stuff because,

you know, I'm sure it'll all come back.

Promise.

- When's the party?

- Oh.

No no no, you're right.

We should have one.

- No, just the girl said that there'd be one, so--

- Girl, what girl?

- The girl who dropped me off here in the car.

She was so nice.

- You were dropped here by a car.

- Mm-hmm, a police car.

There were sirens and everything.

- Wait a minute.

The girl brought you here by a police car?

What'd she look like?

- She was really beautiful.

She had dark hair in braids and dark skin.

- Okay, whoa, now you're scaring me, Ellie.

Did she tell you her name?

- Well no, but Jack, she was really nice.

She even gave me a bag of clothes to wear.

- A bag.

You mean, the bag you arrived here with.

- Well, yeah.

- Where is it?

Ellie, where did you leave it?

Where'd you leave it?

Show me.

- Don't do it, Java.

- Careful now.

- Hey, relax.

You worry too much, little sis.

Anyway, it's almost done now.

- Perfect.

I was wondering what to give Zoot

as a welcome home gift.

[chanting]

- I left it right there.

- Mouse.

- I was--

- Just get away from it, okay?

- [Mouse] I wasn't doing anything.

- Just get away, Mouse, move.

- Jack, what's the matter? - What's going on?

- Move, get out of my way.

- What's your hurry?

[eerie music]

[beeping]

- Sweet dreams, losers.

[beeping]

- Well, this is great.

- Ebony, stop, now.

This isn't the plan, Java, you know that.

Tell her.

Ebony, listen to me.

This isn't Zoot's plan.

[beeping]

- Get out of the way!

What are you looking at?

It's a bloody bomb!

[screaming]

[intense music]

- Java!

- Bye bye, Mall Rats.

[clattering]

- Jack?

- [Jay] He's on the roof.

- [Amber] Come on.
