("The Dream Must Stay Alive" by The Tribe)

* 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.

(dramatic music) (crowd chants)

(snaps fingers)

- (sighs) Get him outta here.

- What are you doing?

- Zoot, what's happening?

- They've tricked you.

- It's nothing, listen to the crowd.

Listen.

(crowd chants "Zoot")

- It's just a kid, Ebony, it's just a kid dressed up!

- Listen to them, they know!

They need you now, Ebony,

they need you to lead them.

- So he is risen.

(crowd chants)

- I've seen this show before, it's time to leave.

(car struggles to start)

Oh no. (car struggles to start)

- Now would probably be a good time, Lex.

- Hey, hey, it's Ram!

Hey, Ram, get him! (crowd yells)

- Gel, get some blankets.

- Whoa, where are you guys going?

We need you!

- It's okay, Jack, I've got her, get the grill.

- Okay.

- Amber?

- Oh, I'm okay.

- Jack, get everybody here now,

we need to secure the perimeters.

(crowd yells) (car struggles to start)

- Come on!

- Lex!

- Get the door!

- Mouse, Sammy, you go with Jack,

check the windows, doors, everything,

do exactly as he says.

Salene, Salene, you okay?

- Me? Yeah, no, I'm fine.

- I want you and Ellie to check the exits and entrances,

make sure there's no way into this place.

I want you and May to check the basement.

- How come we get the basement?

- Do you wanna die, Gel?

Well, do you?

Something's being let loose out there that we can't control,

and if it decides to head this way

and succeeds in breaking in...

- [Gel] Okay, okay, I get the picture.

- May, check everything,

check the cages, the bars,

the entrance to the sewers, everything.

- Sure.

(dramatic music)

- I'd forgotten.

- What?

- How good you are at giving orders.

- How are you feeling?

- Faint, dizzy.

Jay, you think they'll come to the mall?

You think they'll try and take my baby?

- [Jay] You don't need to worry about that.

She's badly hurt, can you help?

- I told you, Darryl had become a liability,

he'd have blown the whole thing, I had to do it.

- In front of Ebony?

- Ebony doesn't know what she saw, it's no big deal.

(Java sighs)

- So what do I tell her,

when she comes to, starts asking questions?

- You don't tell her anything.

We up the dosage we're giving her,

make it so she can't tell the difference

between what's real and what isn't.

- I thought that's what we'd already done?

- You got a problem with that?

- No, not if we wanna turn her into a vegetable.

- Listen to me,

Ebony's just a temporary cipher,

an emblem of Zoot.

- I can't control her anymore.

- You don't have to, don't you see?

That's the beauty of this program.

Just a few more days, Java,

then when the whole city is scared,

and the things everyone wants

are being pulled down in front of them,

we'll offer them a way out.

Trust me, it'll all work out.

Just do it, Java!

Increase the dosage, starting tonight.

(dramatic music)

(crowd chants "Zoot lives")

(baby cries)

- No, Amber.

- But he needs me.

- Trudy will look after him.

- But he needs feeding now.

- You better go.

There, it's taken care of, now rest.

- I'm scared, Jay,

this is the worst, the worst it's ever been.

- We'll find a way.

- What if we don't?

What if there isn't a way?

- That's not like you.

- I thought we could free people from their nightmares,

but, maybe it's their nightmares they want.

- [Jay] Is everything secure, Jack?

- Yeah.

- What is it?

- Fires have broken out all over the city.

- Everyone stays on guard, Jack.

- Whoa, you're leaving?

- I have to go see Mega.

- You can't be serious, it's total anarchy out there!

- You know what they say about desperate times.

(dramatic music)

- Don't you see, you're being used!

- Then why are they here?

They've come to follow him, Siva.

They saw him rise from the dead.

- Only it wasn't him, it was just some kid, a phony!

- What's going on?

- I've told her.

- Zoot says he's pleased, he'll visit you tonight.

- Then he's alive.

- Of course!

You saw him return, everyone saw.

- I'm like you, sometimes I think this is all a dream,

but we mustn't doubt, Siva.

- What the hell do you think you're doing?

- Telling her the truth!

- Get real, Siva!

If we don't control Ebony, she'll control us!

- She doesn't know what she's doing!

- And you want her to, you want Ebony back?

Scheming, ruthless, manipulative Ebony?

This time, we're the ones in control, Siva,

(dramatic music) and that's the way it's going to stay.

- Just tell me, yes or no?

- I'm sorry,

right now I can't spare anybody.

Looks like the Mallrats

are gonna have to get by on their own.

You know, there's a rumor going around.

- What rumor?

- Ram was seen, in a truck,

he was nearly lynched apparently.

- Nearly?

- Unfortunately, he got away.

- We have to find him, Mega, before this gets worse.

- And what if we don't?

- Then we impose our own measures.

- What measures?

- I'll let you know.

(dramatic music)

(police siren blares)

(girl laughs)

- Trash it! (laughs)

Trash it all!

* You step on a crack, you marry a rat *

* You step on a crack, you marry a rat *

* You step on a crack, you marry a rat *

* You step on a crack, you--

- Mouse, what are you doing?

- Nothing.

Jack, are they gonna hurt us?

- Oh, no, sweetie, we're not gonna let that happen.

I've got an idea, do you wanna help me?

- Okay.

- Well, I need my toolbox, which is in the cafe,

so you grab me my box,

and me and you, we'll set a booby trap.

- Okay.

(dramatic music)

- Sal, can you give me a hand with the kids?

Sal?

- Why are we even trying?

- What?

- There's no point, not anymore.

- Look, Salene, you gotta snap outta this, okay?

Life goes on, so just get a grip.

Hey.

- I can't. (sobs)

I can't. (sobs)

- Oh, Sal.

This is how it happens,

you think you're getting over it,

and then you remember, all over again.

You just have to get through it.

- What's wrong?

- It's okay, Mouse.

- Please don't cry.

- Let's leave her alone, okay, Mouse?

Do you wanna come help me with Bray?

- I've gotta get the toolbox,

we're gonna make a booby trap.

- Well, then you better get a move on.

- She'll be alright, won't she?

- Yeah, of course, go on.

I'd better go.

- Where's Slade?

- Decided he hadn't seen enough

of all the crazies in the city,

well, one crazy in particular.

- Not exactly state-of-the-art technology, is she?

- What do you mean, what's wrong with the old girl?

- It's more like what's right with her.

You could start by changing

that appalling excuse for a starter motor.

- (scoffs) Take your own next time.

- What happened?

- Well, either the God of Chaos

just checked back into the city,

accompanied by lights, lasers, and the dimming of the Sun,

or the dear, gullible citizens of Toy Town

have been duped once again,

depends which version you wanna believe.

- I'll tell you one thing,

I wouldn't wanna be on the streets right now,

or tonight for that matter.

(dramatic music)

- Do you have to wear a size-20 boots all of the time?

- What?

Don't worry about Mad Max, man's the same as me,

he can take care of himself.

- Yeah, I'm gonna get some food.

(door opens)

- Well?

Why'd you do that back there?

- What?

- That crowd, they almost had me, you coulda let them.

- And let them have all the fun?

I told you, Ram, you're mine, and I choose the time.

Slade seemed pretty eager for me

to get you back here in one piece,

why is that?

What have you got going with him, Ram?

- Maybe I'll tell you, Lex,

only I choose the time. (dramatic music)

- (chuckles) Nice.

- Yeah.

- Whoa, Gel, you're supposed to be over at the west gate.

- Oh, it's okay, Sammy's there, he doesn't need me as well.

- Look, just, Gel, just get back to your post,

you can see more from there anyway.

- But--

- No buts, what if Jay asks me where you are?

- He's back?

- Yes.

- You're coming over later, Jack? (romantic music)

Me and Sammy, we might've missed something.

- Yes.

- See ya later then.

- Okay.

Find more going on on the inside of a head of a really dull.

- She's just got a shine for you.

- (chuckles) For me, Gel?

- Yeah, no need to be so surprised, so do I, actually.

- Well, you I can handle though.

- Well, then why don't you?

- Tea round, want some?

(sighs) I heard it's just bedlam out there.

- Yeah, if only there was a way

of showing people they're being fooled.

- You still think that?

- Of course.

It's Ram.

Remember, Jay was telling this rumor

about how he's been seen in the city,

the whole thing has got his hallmark,

plus, that Zoot on the roof wasn't him, it was his double.

Damn, if only there was a way of finding out who he was.

- Why don't we try to?

- What do you mean?

- Well, that's what we used to do, isn't it?

Investigate things together?

Why don't we work on this?

- What, together?

- Yeah, you bet.

- Okay then, the old team back in action, eh?

- Jack, me and Trudy will take over for a while, okay?

- Okay.

- It's like the end of the world.

- What?

- Out there.

You okay?

- Sure, and you?

- Well, I could do with a cuddle. (Jay chuckles)

You know, it's funny, I was just starting to feel...

- What?

- Nothing, it doesn't matter.

What's on your mind?

- Do you think the end justifies the means?

- Whoa, deepest thoughts. (chuckles)

Well, what's the end?

- To put a stop to all this.

- And the means?

- Don't worry, how's Amber?

- Oh, well, I haven't looked.

- I'd better go check then.

- Yeah, of course. (dramatic music)

- You really don't get this game, do you, Lex?

- I was thinking.

- Oh, you mean you actually think as well?

- Again?

- I'm going to bed,

I can only take so much candy from a baby.

Goodnight.

- Want me to read you a bedtime story?

- Oh, you read too?

- I thought the problem was Slade,

but, okay, you were right.

- Yeah, about what?

- Mega, I don't know what his game is.

- Did you see Ebony?

- Yeah, of course.

- Well, was she like the Ebony that you know?

- Uh, I don't know, it was kind of hard to tell,

she was quite out of it, why?

- Well,

he's controlling her.

- (scoffs) What?

You can't control Ebony.

- I could, with the right technology of course,

I could get right inside of her brain and re-engineer it.

Mega's got that technology, Lex.

- Well, if he is, he's riding a wild horse.

- Ooh, yeah,

well, maybe he doesn't have to ride her for long.

You see,

Mega wouldn't tolerate a society with her in charge,

therefore, this has to be a short-term plan,

he's just using her.

- For what?

- I don't know,

but I, uh,

know Mega,

and if he got control of this city,

he would run it like one of his computer programs.

- What, you mean like you?

- Oh, no, no, no, Lexie boy, I gave the city entertainment,

in Mega's world, it would be dark, bloodless,

efficient, lifeless even.

- No, not while he's in cahoots with the three wild sisters.

- My guess is, he's got them programmed for deletion,

along with your friends.

- Are you serious?

- Maybe, maybe not,

there is one thing for certain though, Lex.

- What?

- You and me have a common enemy,

don't we?

(dramatic music)

(Amber moans)

- Amber, what is it?

- The pain, please make it go away!

- They said they'd try to investigate.

- Don't worry about it.

- No, you don't understand,

Jack and Ellie, they're good at this stuff,

really good.

- I promise you, they won't find Darryl,

it's not a problem.

That it?

- Yes.

- Well, you'd better get back before anyone notices.

(May sighs)

(May sighs)

- You said that this would be over soon.

You said that I would have my reward.

- You will.

- When?

- Just a little longer, May,

when the plan is complete and order has been restored.

(dramatic music)

- Oh, Ellie, come here.

Ooh, feels like I, uh, got you back.

- You have.

- I know, but maybe you were, you know, better off.

- What do you mean?

- Well, you know, having no memory of all of this.

Mouse, what are you doing up?

- I couldn't sleep.

Can I come in there?

- Yeah, come on in.

There we go.

One big family, all tucked up tight.

- Jack?

- Yeah, Mouse?

- Why don't we all just leave?

- Well, we can't, it's our home.

- Jack, it's Amber, something's wrong.

- Okay, I'm coming.

(dramatic music)

- [Zoot] Be warned, the unbelievers will try to trick you.

- What are you doing?

- I'm trying to walk, but, whoa, I'm so dizzy.

- Ooh, come on, back to bed.

- [Trudy] What's wrong with her?

- I don't know,

maybe the pressure's built up

on the inside of her skull or something.

- It's alright, I can manage, I'm not a cripple.

- But you--

- Please, I'm alright, the pain's not so bad now, just go.

- [Jack] She needs watching, Jay.

- So who do you suggest, me, Trudy?

- Well, I'm just saying--

- Hey, it's okay, guys, I'll look in on her,

and I don't care what she says.

- Cool, well, I'll get back to my watch then.

- Jack, I'm heading out tomorrow to meet Mega, early,

you wanna come?

- Yeah, sure, have you decided what you're gonna do?

- The only thing I can do. (dramatic music)

- Hey.

You okay?

What is it, what's wrong?

- Zoot came to me again last night.

- You had a dream, it's not surprising.

- No, he was here with me!

- Come on, sis, we saw what we saw,

the guy was a fake and Mega wasted him.

- Yes, because he wasn't Zoot, Zoot cannot die!

- But you know now, this whole Zoot thing is a ripoff,

you're being tricked.

(dramatic music)

- That's what he warned me about,

unbelievers that would try to trick me

by making me change my mind!

- What?

- Get away from me!

- Ebony, please.

- I said get away!

I don't want you anywhere near me!

- So what's the plan, Jay?

- We'll seal off this sector of the city

using all the technology we have.

- And then?

- We cut off all supplies of electricity,

food, water, everything to the rest.

- (chuckles) What?

- It's the only way, Jack.

- Yeah, but there are innocent people out there.

- Yeah, I know that,

but I don't think we'll have to keep it up for too long.

Look, we'll be able to recruit the tribal leaders,

they don't want this chaos any more than we do.

Besides, once we deprive them of what they want,

I think people will start seeing the sense.

- Okay, if that's what you want.

And can I suggest you make an announcement over CityNet?

- But no one watches CityNet anymore,

you know, Zoot has all the airtime now.

- You realize we'll have to use force?

Weapons, troops, effectively we'll be imposing martial law.

(dramatic music)

- Whatever it takes.

- Amber...

Amber!
