- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

- Jack!

Jack!

[coughing]

- I'm a hero.

An alive one.

[coughing]

- [sighing] I want a full report on what's happened

at the mall, and I wanna see you back at the hotel.

- What's Mega doing here?

I thought he was with the mall rats.

- It's a long story.

- Yeah, and one that needs to be told.

Seems like Java here hasn't been entirely honest,

a long way from it in fact.

- Careful what you say, Siva.

- So much for the three sisters unite,

that all for one and one for all,

[speaking in foreign language].

- The outcome will be the same.

We will still rule.

- It suits well.

- Of course.

- [Jack] Yeah, when I heard that explosion

I thought you guys were history.

- It was Ebony,

blooming Ebony and Java.

Ellie described them exactly.

- Drove right up to the mall

and sent Ellie in with the explosives.

- Ebony?

- Do you remember something else?

- Yeah, I think so.

[baby crying]

It's on the tip of my tongue.

- I've got a crying baby, I've got to go.

- Look Jay, we're gonna have to double the guard

at all the entrances.

- Right.

Well we can't just hide here

and wait to see what they do next,

we have to act.

- How?

They're too strong just now

to go out there and take them on.

A lot of the people

have gone to them already.

- And a lot more will

if this Zoot resurrection happens.

- If only we could stop the power.

Then they couldn't project their holograms of Zoot.

- No, no look, they'll just use the double,

I saw him and he convinced me.

I'm pretty sure he convinced a half crazed mob out there.

- And we can't use City Net either

in case they use it against us

like they did the last time.

That only made things worse.

- So we'll have to go into the city

and tell the people the truth.

- Yeah but will they listen?

- They might.

If it was someone they trust.

- Amber.

- Too rich for me.

- Well sheriff, I think I might up my little IOU

and call your bluff.

- Geez.

- You're good.

- You better believe it.

- [Lex] I was bluffing.

- I think I'll turn in.

- It's early.

- It's a big day tomorrow,

resurrection of the crazy guy.

- You're gonna see that?

- Thought I'd take a peek.

- Wouldn't happen to have anything to do

with the fact the queen of darkness

is likely to be there, would it?

- That Ebony chick, really?

- You're playing with fire there, mate.

Talk to Ram, he had his fingers burned

by the little fireball.

- Yeah I heard you had something to do with her.

- Yeah, we're estranged, you're welcome.

Like Lex said, though,

she's a man eater.

- Something tells me that makes her all the more fascinating

to a certain someone.

[soft music]

- Night.

- Yeah me too.

Just about cleared the table out.

If you want to leave your door unlocked--

- With all these bad men around,

that would be foolish, wouldn't you say?

- Maybe next time.

[soft music]

- Satisfied?

- Not until you tell me

why you didn't call his bluff.

- It's awful, how could they do that?

- They just used me

because they knew I was a mall rat.

Everybody could've been killed,

you, Trudy, Amber, everyone.

- Ellie, it wasn't your fault.

- It's horrible.

- So you're okay now?

- Just a bit tired.

- Well try and get some rest.

What is it?

- We've come up with an idea,

our last hope for fighting back.

We need someone to go into the city

to try and talk some sense into the kids

before the resurrection happens.

- You?

Amber.

- She's special to the people out there,

you know that.

Now I could ask Salene to ask her but--

- No, she's in no fit state

and besides, that'd be ducking

your own responsibility wouldn't it?

- She'd know I was avoiding her

and it might put her off the idea.

- You rat, what do you think you're playing at?

- I assume there's a good reason for this interruption.

- Why didn't you tell me about the explosives?

I could've been wiped out as well.

Or does this not matter to you?

- It wasn't my idea.

It's true.

- Well who's bright idea was it then, Ebony's?

- Close.

- Well what are you gonna do about it?

Suppose they try again,

I might not be so lucky next time.

- Listen to me May,

you just go back

and let me know what Jay's up to.

I know he's not gonna take this lying down.

And as always, I like to be one jump ahead.

[soft music]

[rooster crowing]

- You mind paying me what you owe?

Just in case you don't come back.

- I've left my bag in my room,

there's more than enough in there.

- Going on a picnic?

- It's not gonna be much of a picnic,

not with Zoot around.

- You planning on catching the show as well, huh?

- Wouldn't miss it.

Can't wait to see the guy I wasted rise from the dead.

- Interested to see how Mega does it.

- Well you're certain it's him?

- Fits the profile.

- Aren't you two boys forgetting something?

- Packed lunch, bottle of pop.

- If I'm right,

you're not the two most popular boys in the city.

- If she is right,

don't count on me for protection.

Besides, there's no room for both of you on the bike

and I don't fancy his chances of making it

all the way to the city.

- Well actually, I'm in the middle of negotiating

alternative transport.

[upbeat music]

Hey.

Guys gonna be using this truck this morning?

- Could be.

- Let's just say I'm commandeering these

for a special assignment, you understand?

- Sure Slade, you boys take your time now.

- [Jay] Can I come in?

- I'm sort of busy.

- It's very important.

How's the baby?

- He's fine.

- [Jay] I assume you know what's going down today?

- The resurrection, yeah.

- It's scheduled for noon, the total eclipse.

The way the kids are at the moment,

still freaked out about the paradise program

and all cranked up about the Zoot stuff.

This could tip them over the edge.

We could lose the city big time

and never get it back.

- Yeah, I'd say that's a distinct possibility.

- Amber, we can't just sit back and watch it.

We can't let what happened between us--

- What happened between us, Jay?

Nothing as I recall.

- That's not fair.

- So maybe I'm tired of being fair all the time.

Fair old Amber always sees both sides, Miss Democracy.

- That's why we need you

because that's what they think out there.

No, correction, that's what they know,

that you wouldn't lie to them.

They know you wouldn't cheat them.

They may fear Ebony and follow her madness

but deep down, they know

that if anyone's gonna get them out of this mess it's you.

- Oh really?

- Otherwise, I'd pack my bags

and I'd leave the city forever

because there won't be a future,

no dream left to dream.

You remember what I told you

about us all having a choice?

- And I said I wasn't so sure.

- Well do you?

- I guess not.

Don't.

- Does it look okay?

Everything has to be perfect.

Remember, I'm preparing to meet my husband.

- I told you to come and see me yesterday.

- What are you, the headmaster now?

- We can't have people

running around taking the law into their own hands,

it'll screw everything up.

- So it's one law for Mega

another for everyone else.

- Little diversions from the plan

can have major repercussions.

Just one piece goes missing--

- Don't worry about Ebony.

She doesn't know whether she's Arthur or Martha.

- It's Siva I'm concerned about.

- She's no threat.

Look, we were always going to waste the mall rats, why wait?

- If we're gonna create chaos in this city,

we need someone credible

to try to restore law and order.

When they fail,

the city will come crawling on its knees to us

begging us to take over.

That's when we waste the mall rats and not before.

Java, don't fight me on this one.

I've run the model a thousand times through the computer.

It works, trust me.

- Yeah, wow.

I guess I just got a bit carried away.

It's just I hate those do-gooders.

- That's good.

Hate is good.

We make a brilliant team, Java.

[gentle music]

- So how are you feeling?

- It's weird.

Remembering everything,

all this being back in my head,

it's like I'm a new person.

- It's great to have you back, Ellie.

- What's up, Sammy?

- What does resurrection mean?

- Well it means coming back from the dead.

- But like me, Sammy, being back again.

- Is that what Zoot's gonna do, come back?

- No look, Zoot was a phony okay, a con trick.

- But everybody's saying--

- It's not gonna happen, Sammy.

- You'd have to be a God to do that.

- But what if he is a God?

- Zoot, now okay look Sammy,

Zoot was a nasty piece of work.

- See.

- But you can have bad guards, can't you,

like in the stories?

- Stop it, Sammy, you're scaring me!

- Now look what you've done,

you stupid little boy.

[sighs]

- She's losing it.

You know, I hadn't realized.

- What about Salene?

- No, it's just, all this time

I've been trying to work out how they've been doing it,

Zoot or the tentacle stuff and it's just hit me,

if Sammy's thinking like that

then what are all the kids out there thinking?

They're really gonna believe this, aren't they?

[soft music]

- Ebony.

Can we talk?

I mean like in private?

- Leave us.

- Can we sit down somewhere?

It's about Zoot.

[throwing up]

- Darryl, are you alright in there?

- [Darryl] Fine, fine.

- Hey.

Geez, you look terrible.

- No, I'm just nervous about today.

I don't think I can go through with it.

- With what?

- I don't think I can.

[throwing up]

- It's true, Ebony, Zoot isn't real,

he's not coming back, he's dead.

- Siva, try to understand.

Zoot is coming back to the city today.

- No, they're gonna use a poor kid dressed up as Zoot.

- You'll come to believe, Siva, one day.

- Listen, Mega's not on the side of the mall rats.

He and Java planned this all along.

They've been using you,

screwing up your mind.

- Have you finished?

I have to prepare myself.

It's nearly time.

- Ebony, listen to me,

I can't bear to see you like this.

Please, you're my little sister.

- No Siva, not anymore.

At noon today

when Zoot comes to reclaim his city,

I will be by his side, a goddess.

- [Lex] We get any closer,

someone's gonna suss out who we are.

- And I ain't exactly equipped for fighting.

This was a crazy idea.

- [Lex] Sometimes you've got to take risks.

- Yeah, there's risk taking

and then there's sheer stupidity

and when it comes to you, Lex.

[knocking]

- Nice motor.

- You scared the living daylights out of us.

- I'm gonna head up a bit closer to the action.

I'd advise you guys to stay put

and keep your heads down.

- I won't be long, Mouse.

If he starts crying, just give him his bottle, okay?

- You're gonna see Zoot.

- Not if I can help it.

Don't worry, it's all gonna be alright.

- [Female] Amber.

- What?

- I...

Look, I just want to say,

it's a really brave thing that you're doing,

it's crazy out there.

- No crazier than some other places.

- Amber, I,

we really appreciate what you're doing for us,

all the mall rats.

- I'm not doing it for the mall rats,

I'm doing it for my baby.

- It'll be fine, Darryl, you'll be wonderful.

It's what you wanted.

- Yeah, I know

but it's one thing to scare Jack and a couple of the kids

but this is huge, the whole city.

I've never spoken in front of a crowd before,

what if I forget my lines?

- I'll be there.

Listen to me, think of what this means for you.

What I promised, remember, the fame, the rewards, the girls.

- Yeah, the girls.

- Why do you think I chose you for this?

Because I know you will be magnificent.

You were born for this, believe me.

- You're right.

- Now go and get ready for the biggest role of your life.

- Yeah!

Yeah.

[giggling]

[sighs]

- You're right, he's flaky.

- Siva, you worry too much, you know that?

- I don't trust Mega.

What if he's using us?

What if he cuts us out when he's got what he wants?

- When we've pulled off this little stunt

and got the city eating out of our hands,

it's not us who are going to be cut out.

- You mean Mega?

- I couldn't have done this on my own.

I'm good

but Mega, he's a genius at technology.

But his biggest strength

is also his biggest weakness.

He doesn't understand human beings.

He doesn't understand me.

- What about Ebony?

She's saying she's a goddess now.

If we let her go through with all this Java,

we might never get her back.

She might be out there in crazy space for good.

- And wouldn't that be a shame.

[upbeat music]

- [Jay] Well, looks like this is the place.

- [Jack] Yeah, the eclipse is gonna start pretty soon.

- Well, time for me to crash the party.

Hey, everyone please listen to me,

this is Amber, Amber of the mall rats,

listen to what I have to say.

[crowd gasping]

This is just a solar eclipse,

it's not the work of Zoot.

Zoot is dead, I saw him die, it's just a trick.

Hey listen, I need you to listen to me,

this is really important, it's not...

- Amber.

- Is it getting a little bit darker in here?

- It's just an eclipse, Mouse.

- What's an eclipse?

- It's when the moon covers the sun.

- But won't the moon get burnt?

- What?

- The moon, won't it get burnt?

- Oh, yeah, yeah.

- Ow, will the moon be okay?

- Oh, oh sure, it's just a bit of grilled cheese,

that's all.

- Oh.

- Got to hand it to Mega,

just like the old pop concerts I used to go to

when I was a kid, Zoot Superstar.

- Well I'm glad it amuses you, Lex.

I don't supposed you've stopped to think

what's going to happen when Ebony and Zoot become gods.

[crowd chanting]

[crowd cheering]

[crowd chanting]

- City of lost souls

and city of darkness,

I give you Zoot!

[crowd chanting]

[bomb exploding]

[crowd cheering and chanting]

- Power and chaos.

[crowd chanting]

- Power and chaos.

[crowd chanting]

I did it, Mega, I did it.

I did it.

Listen to them, they love me, they want me.

[crowd chanting]

I'm going back out there.

- Wait.

They want Zoot.

- No, they want me, they want me.

- No, no.

- You can't tell me what to do anymore.

They want me.

I'm going.

- No!

[laser blasting]

- Zoot!
