- Calm throughout the evacuation process.

[wind blowing]

- Do you think I'm blind or something?

There was a guy in this room just now.

You can't not have seen him!

- I don't know what your game is, Siva.

First you tell me Zoot is dead,

then you tell me there's some guy in my room!

- There was, I heard you talking to him.

- Oh, what were we saying?

[dark, ominous music]

- I couldn't hear.

- Of course not because he doesn't exist.

Don't try to screw up my mind, Siva.

- What's going on here?

- Nothing, Siva just came to wish me good night.

- Didn't sound like it.

- Well, it's true, isn't that right, Sivie?

- Yeah, that's it.

- Now if you don't mind, I'd like to get my beauty sleep.

[dramatic music]

[fire roars] [people screaming]

[footsteps trampling down pavement]

[fire roaring]

Here's to me.

Cheers.

[glass clinks against bottle]

My dear.

[little footsteps approaching]

- Oh, Salene, I had a terrible dream.

It was so horrible.

I went into your room, but I couldn't find you.

- Hey chill, chill, Mouse, it was just a dream.

Only a dream.

Why don't you come back to me

when you got a real life problem, then maybe I can help.

What?

- Are you all right?

- Of course.

I'm not the one having bad dreams, am I?

I got it.

Cheese, that's what it is, too much cheese. [laughs]

The Mouse ate the cheese. [laughs]

That's funny, yeah, isn't it?

- Salene, you're acting really weird.

- Am I, really?

Well, good for me.

Mm, are you leaving?

Where are you going?

- Back to bed where it's less scary.

[little footsteps exiting]

- Suit yourself.

We don't care, do we?

[birds chirping] [wind blowing]

[slow flute music]

[spray paint cans hissing]

- Wanna see some fireworks?

[can clanking]

Oy!

[footsteps thud]

[grunts]

[fence explodes and zaps]

- Whoa, just how much power are we using here?

- Enough.

We can up the voltage any time we think it's necessary.

[fence hissing]

[wind blowing]

- I'm warning you, Siva.

If you're cooking up something behind my back...

- That's rich coming from you.

- What was the row about?

- What is it always about?

Zoot.

Now Ebony thinks he's dead for a second time.

[boot thuds against fingers]

- Listen, sister, all we have to do

is convince Ebony that she imagined Zoot being killed.

- I don't want any part of this anymore!

[fingers cracking]

[panting] Get your boot off my hand!

- You want out of here?

I told you, you can take your chances out there.

- I might just do that.

Because now I know what a callous, nasty,

underhand piece of work you really are.

She's your sister, yet you're happy to destroy her brain.

You make me sick.

- Have it your way, Sivie.

But remember, it won't just be the Zootists

or Mega's thugs you'll be running from out there.

It'll be your nasty, callous, underhand big sister

you'll really have to watch out for.

[dramatic music]

[wind blowing] [flames crackling]

[teeth crunching into apple]

- I had this really weird dream about you last night.

- About me?

- Hey, I had a bad dream, too.

- We're in this big, fancy swimming pool,

and I was wearing this really nice leopard skin bikini.

- Salene?

- Not now, Mouse.

- And you're admiring my style, swimming, you know.

Then suddenly, I got a cramp in my leg.

It was awful, I was sinking.

But you dived in and pulled me out.

You saved my life.

You're so brave.

- Oh, I mean, i-in your dreams,

'cause you wouldn't have drowned.

No-no one ever dies in their dreams.

- Is this a private conversation or can anyone join?

- No-no-no-no, of course not, no, s-s-sit down.

[pages crinkling]

[ominous tone]

- Leave me alone!

- Roll up your sleeve!

- No, I haven't done anything!

- Hey!

What do you think you're doing?

- My job!

- Do you know who I am?

- Yeah, so?

- So I order you to leave her alone.

- Let me see.

- No, you'll trick me!

- No, I won't, please.

[tense music]

Whose idea is this?

[wind blowing]

- She's determined to ruin the whole operation.

- Really, Siva, suddenly I'm scared.

- You don't understand.

She's threatening to tell Ebony the truth

about everything, about Darryl, about Zoot.

What if Ebony starts believing her?

- She won't.

- But she might, and then what?

- [sighs] You're still giving her doses of Paradise?

- Of course.

- Then I can't see where the problem is.

- The program needs verbal reinforcement.

If Siva starts telling Ebony the truth--

- Then you'd better make sure your verbal reinforcement

is stronger than hers.

Java, we don't want a renegade Siva

on the loose telling everyone about us, do we?

Someone might listen.

I don't care how you do it, but keep her on board.

[slow, dramatic music]

[truck roaring by]

[motorcycle engine humming]

[dog barking in distance]

[dog barking in distance]

- Business that slow, Rube?

- Just taking five.

Tough clue.

- Hit me with it.

- Why would I wanna waste my breath?

- Because I might know the answer.

- Noisy steps taken to give entertainment, three and five.

[birds chirping]

Where have you been?

- Out.

- What's in your bag?

- Couple of bits to keep Ram outta your hair.

- If you bring that Paradise junk into Liberty--

- Oh, you know me better, Ruby.

- I don't know you at all, Slade.

That's beginning to worry me.

- Well, you know one thing about me, though.

I'm the king of crosswords.

Tap dance.

[slow, gentle music]

[wooden door slams]

- Barcoding?

What do you think we are, supermarket items?

What's next, Mega, sell-by dates?

- Desperate times call for desperate measures.

- Yeah, well, you can't get much more desperate

than tattooing information on people's skin.

- Why are you getting so heated up about this?

It's not as if they're being microchipped.

- I should hope not!

These people aren't criminals.

- It's for their own protection.

And we need to know who's who and who's where.

Otherwise, how can we stop the Zootists

infiltrating the sector?

- You've built an electric fence.

- When has a barrier alone ever stopped people going

where they want to go?

- [scoffs] And I suppose simple ID cards

were out of the question?

- That would've been technologically regressive.

This way, they don't even have to think about it.

It's simple, painless, can't be forged or lost,

and it won't wash off.

- Why wasn't I informed when this decision was taken?

- You weren't here.

- Oh, so that lets you off the hook, does it?

[sighs] Well, let's just hope it works

and keeps out the bag guys, huh?

- It'll work, it'll work just fine.

And then, Jay, you'll thank me.

[tense music]

[wind blowing] [fire crackling]

[keyboard keys clicking]

- Jack?

- Yeah, just a sec.

Something on your mind?

- Yeah, you, as it happens.

- What did I do?

- Well, I don't remember, that's the problem.

- Well, what do you want to remember?

- It's a bit embarrassing, actually. [chuckles]

- You don't have to be embarrassed with me.

- Well, I mean,

have we or haven't we?

Did we or didn't we...

- What?

- Sorry, but I need to know.

- [clears throat] Yes, we did, we did.

Um, and it was good, uh, very good.

I mean, it was the best, uh, uh.

I-I mean, uh, yeah, um, yes, we, we did.

[slow, gentle guitar music]

- So why are we sleeping in separate bedrooms?

[exhales through teeth]

[footsteps crunch in dirt] [people talking indistinctly]

- This is great.

Some of this stuff is of inferior quality,

but I'm pretty sure I can build something here.

You did okay for someone who knows nothing about computers.

- Well, thank you, partner.

- Question, once I get this little baby here up

and running, what's the grand plan?

- Before I tell you the answer,

I want you to promise me something.

- Hmm, I don't like the sound of that.

- Promise me that whatever I tell you doesn't go

beyond this room.

It's vital you tell no one, understand?

- Ooh, that's coming through loud and clear, cowboy.

Not even Ruby?

- Especially not Ruby.

- I love secrets.

[dramatic music]

[wind blowing] [flames crackling]

[blond child cooing]

- No, not in here either.

Don't worry, we'll find her.

Hey, she might be with Amber.

- Hey, how are you feeling?

- Um, better, I think.

[blond child blabbering]

- [gasps] Hey, honey, look, Amber's feeling better.

Hey, should we go find her something nice to eat?

Mouse, you all right?

- Hm.

[slow music]

[birds chirping]

- That's one hell of a secret.

- If you breathe one word--

- Don't misunderstand me, Slade, it's safe.

My lips are sealed.

[dog barking in distance]

But now, this stuff here is useless.

I won't be able to get the D7 to interface

with the Prototype Three, and without that pathway,

it's just not enough juice.

It's like trying to fly an airplane using a steam engine.

- So you can't do it, huh?

- Hey, I never said that. [laughs]

- I'm Ram, I can do anything.

All I need is the right equipment.

Why don't you try and get hold of the Vixen Four?

Then I should be able to link the elements together,

and, uh, we might be in business.

I mean, we are talking about creating

the most powerful motherboard on Earth here, brother.

[tense, dramatic music]

[chuckles]

[wind blowing] [fire crackling]

You have no authority to come barging in here.

- I'm just obeying orders.

- You again?

So tell me, whose orders?

- Yours, Mega's.

Aren't we supposed to all be in this together?

- Yeah, so why so rough, why so aggressive?

- The new regime starts tomorrow.

- What's a regime?

- I know, I inspected the fence this morning.

- Then you'll also know that it's gonna take a hell

of a lot of power to keep that turkey cooking.

- I don't like the sound of this.

- You're afraid of a little hard work, miss?

- No, I just prefer it on my terms and to be asked nicely.

- Tell me about it, but I'm just doing

what needs to be done.

Look, we're trying to be as fair as we can,

but everybody has to do their share.

This is the Mall Rats' list.

First up for tomorrow's work party is one Sammy.

He here?

[townspeople chattering in background]

- Spit it out, Ruby.

- I just wanna know where you're headed.

- Something I, uh, forgot to pick up.

- What, stupid computer bits?

I've got a good mind to ban them.

- Hey, this is Liberty.

You can't stop progress.

- What kind of progress, Slade?

Look, I wanna know what you're up to with Ram.

- I'm keeping him occupied.

- That's not an answer.

- It's the only one you're gonna get.

[slow music] [motorcycle starting up]

[dog barking in distance]

- You're wasting your time, babe.

- Oh, Lex, if you're bored, go tidy the storeroom

or something.

- How can I be bored when I'm with you?

- Well, you sure know how to woo a woman.

Such an original statement but, unfortunately,

water off a duck's back.

- If you resist me 'cause you're waiting

for Slade to notice you, you're in for a long wait.

- Resisting you?

[chuckles] That's one way of putting it.

And since when did you become my personal astrologer?

- You don't need to read the future

to tell what Slade's thinking.

- Okay, so now that you've got my interest,

tell me, big boy, what is Slade thinking?

- Ebony, he's thinking Ebony.

[dog barking in distance]

- Sure.

- He's got the hots for her.

That's why he's going back to the city.

You're wasting your time.

- No, you're wasting my time, Lex.

And if you've got nothing sensible to say,

then you can just stay out of my face.

[slow, gentle music]

[exhales]

- Seems like the only reward I'm ever gonna get

from you is working down in the mines.

- We need power to keep the Zootists out

and the city going, or maybe you'd rather read

in the dark and take cold showers?

- I have been very loyal to you.

I have given you information you couldn't

have got from anywhere else.

- And I'm grateful, but it would be suicide

to make you an exception.

If your name's on the list, you go to work.

- No, no more.

Not until I see some sign of acknowledgement.

- I want you to track Siva.

Tell me what she's been up to, who she's been mixing with.

- Are you listening to me?

- Of course, but there can be no rewards

until we've established ourselves as the new power.

We don't wanna let the cat out of the bag, do we?

- [sighs] You're right.

Of course, you're always right.

You are so clever.

Just brilliant.

You know, I really like coming to see you.

[dramatic music]

Our little chats.

I was just hoping for a little appreciation.

Show that you care

like I do.

- [sighs] Take a look at this.

[keyboard key clicks] [electronic beeps]

This is how much I care.

- They 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.

- I care not to show this to anyone

if you care to go track Siva.

We wouldn't want this little home movie

to fall into the wrong hands.

[bottles clinking]

- Why didn't you say anything about Sammy at the meeting?

[liquid pouring into cup] - What?

- I know why, 'cause you messed up your brain

because you drank all these!

- Not all in one go.

- But you did drink them!

- So what if I did?

What are you, my mother?

- No, we don't have them anymore.

Instead, we look after people. [box of bottles clanks loudly]

- Leave me alone, Mouse.

- Why, so you can drink again?

- Go away, it's none of your business!

- Why do you have to be like this?

Why do you have to be so hard?

And why isn't it the same anymore?

[slow, dramatic music]

- Mouse!

[birds chirping]

[broom rustling along floor]

- Oh, it's you.

Finish cleaning the storeroom?

- You serious?

- Yeah, I was.

Pity that because I was gonna cook us up a real nice meal.

Just you and me.

But guess you blew it.

- You know, while I was standing there,

I was suddenly struck by how good you look.

- Come on, Lex, I've been cleaning all day

and I haven't washed my hair for a week.

- Well, looks good to me.

- Lex, I'm getting really, really tired

of this lovesick schoolboy routine.

If you want to impress me, why don't you do something decent

like tell your Mall Rat friends

about this double-crossing Mega guy?

Get them in the picture, tell them they're being conned?

- Well, I would, I tried, but the place is surrounded

by guards and, if you've forgotten, I'm not exactly flavor

of the month with the Zootists either.

- You really surprise me, Lex.

I had you down as a lot of scuzzy things,

but I never had you down as a chicken.

[slow music]

[broom rustling along floor]

[wind blowing]

[coughs quietly]

[coughs]

- Are you asleep?

- No.

- You know, I wouldn't want to wake you.

Can-can I come in?

- Sure.

- Sorry, I just didn't think things

could wait till tomorrow morning. [chuckles]

- No, I'm glad.

There's, [sighs] there's something I wanted

to ask you as well.

- You've got a problem?

- Well, sort of.

I've been lying here thinking about what you said earlier.

- That-that's what I came here about.

- It-it just kind of doesn't make sense.

If we used to before, how come we don't anymore?

Is it because I'm different?

- No!

- Am I different?

- No!

Ellie, you're the same.

You're just, you know, as beautiful and intelligent as ever.

The same Ellie.

- Then how come you don't want to anymore?

- No, but I do, okay?

Um... [sighs]

Okay, okay I'm-I'm sorry, okay, I lied.

Um, we've never done it, we've never slept together.

I just thought if you thought we had,

then maybe you'd want to again, even though...

- It's okay, it's okay. [soft music]

- It is?

- So?

- What?

- Are we gonna do about it?

[chuckles]

- Mm, you mean...

- You know how long I've wanted to go through with this?

- Yeah?

- Of course.

It could never be anyone but you.

[chuckles] It's you I've always wanted.

[chuckles]

- Ellie, okay, you mean the world to me.

It's just,

I don't have any--

- Protection?

Jack, Jack, always so practical.

Look, relax, it's all taken care of.

[kissing]

[motorcycle engine humming]

[dramatic music]

[owl hoots]

- So Mr. Mystery, will I see you again tonight?

And are you from Zoot

or his enemy?

[wind blowing]

- Hey Mouse, shouldn't you be in bed?

- I don't want to.

- Afraid of the Boogeyman?

- Aren't you?

- No, and I'm not going.

- To sleep?

- No, to the work party, stupid, tomorrow.

- But you have to.

- Says who, a bunch of stupid Technos?

I'm not gonna let them boss me around.

I don't care what they're gonna do to me.

I'm not going.

[soft, dramatic music]

[liquid pouring into cup]

- Jay, hi.

- Amber, up and about.

- Yeah, raring to go.

- That's good.

- So, do you think you'll be strong enough

for the barcoding tomorrow?

- Sorry, that statement doesn't quite compute.

- Amber, we had a visit from the Technos today.

They wanna brand us with some kind of ID.

It'll help us to--

- What?

- It's for the best.

- Excuse me?

- Just so that we can distinguish--

- What, I don't understand this, barcoding?

What, how?

- Well, it's on your arm.

Apparently, it's quite painless.

It's a kind of tattoo.

- No.

No!

What kind of world are you trying to create here?

Not one I wanna be any part of!

No Jay, I'm not strong enough to be barcoded,

and I never will be!
