["The Dream Must Stay Alive" by Meryl Cassie]

♪ 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]

- Something you wanted to say?

- What do you want?

I said--

- I know what you said.

- What are you doing snooping around here?

- Well, there's no crime in looking.

- I saw you leaving Ebony's room the other night,

it was you, wasn't it?

What do you want with her?

[dramatic music]

- If I was in a lady's room,

I can't see what concern it is of yours.

- It's very much my concern, so start talking, wiseguy.

- Well, how so?

- She's my sister, she needs my protection.

- [muffled] making her my concern too.

I'm here because I think she may need my help.

And who knows, in the final analysis, maybe you will too.

[crowd chants "Hail Zoot"]

- Hey, mister, where do you think you're going?

- Ah, I thought you were asleep,

I was just gonna get us some breakfast.

- Breakfast?

But we didn't finish our main course last night.

- [chuckles] Yeah,

sorry about that, I just haven't, you know,

done a lot of, um, cooking.

- Neither have I, you know.

- Yeah, but I wasn't exactly,

like, you know, a master chef, was I?

- You were great. [Jack chuckles]

- Help me! [dramatic music]

You gotta help me, they're coming after me!

- I don't care who you're looking for, this is our home!

- Yeah, and we'll be right out of it,

as soon as we've got him.

- No one gave you permission to start stomping through here!

- Who needs permission, lady?

There's a crazy Zoot tribe out there and work to be done.

- Nothing.

- Hey!

- They're just a bunch of thugs,

forcing me to go on this work party,

shoveling coal all day,

sounds more like a slave gig.

And I'm not gonna do it, and now they're after me.

- Okay, okay, can we talk about this, you know, later?

- [Man] Try over there!

- I'm not here, alright? [dramatic music]

- So much for our cookery session.

- [Amber] If you lay a finger on anybody,

I swear someone will hear about it.

- Yeah, whatever.

- Hey, look, I don't think you know who you're dealing with,

we overthrew the Technos

and I'm not about to start taking orders

from some junked-up bully in a uniform!

- So do you think that--

- Do you mind?

This is a complicated process.

[Slade sighs]

There, that's a phase complete,

now, what were you saying?

- If I'm not disturbing the wheels

turning in the great man's head,

I was gonna ask how is it going?

Any sign of progress?

- And just what do you think we're doing here, Slade,

designing a pocket calculator?

- No, but--

- I don't think you've got any idea

about the complexity of what I'm trying to do for you.

- Complexity's your department,

I'm just the guy who saves your life, gets you to walk.

- This is uncharted territory,

I just need some time.

- I get you,

but you know time's a luxury that we don't have.

[dramatic music]

[Ram sighs]

- Come on, hurry up!

- Move it along, boys,

time to go walkies, you lucky boys.

- What's going on?

Why are they out of the cage?

- Ebony,

those prisoners are required for a job in Sector 12.

You know, extra muscle.

- Yeah, but I thought that--

- Everything's going just perfectly,

I feel Zoot is very pleased.

- Well, I suppose it's okay if it's Zoot's work.

- It is.

- Salene?

Salene?

I knew something was gonna happen.

Sammy said he won't be bossed around by the Technos anymore,

and today, they came after him.

- Who did?

- [sighs] I thought they were gonna catch him,

but they didn't,

they caught Jack and Ellie, kissing.

- In the power station?

- No, here in the mall!

You're not concentrating today,

you silly Billy!

Salene?

[dramatic music]

- So long, boys, I'm sorry to be losing such adorable pets,

but it breaks my heart to see you locked up,

so now you can run free, wagging your tails. [laughs]

Smile, Mega, I've just delivered your new troops.

- You're sure Ebony doesn't suspect?

- She wouldn't suspect even if we went up and told her.

All you need is the magic word, Zoot.

- And Siva?

- [sighs] She's still the weak link,

there's gonna be trouble there. [Mega sighs]

- I'm keeping my eye on that.

- I'd say our little arrangement's turning out pretty sweet,

the technology creates Zoot, Zoot takes prisoners,

so you get troops.

- I could use more force.

My army's growing.

- Half the city for Zoot, half for Techno land.

Who said technology and religion don't get along?

[dramatic music]

- Hey?

[Ruby laughs]

What's up with you?

- Eh, Senor Bandido, you've come to save our village, yes?

- It's a disguise, not a joke.

There's people out there after my neck.

- I'm sorry, you just took me by surprise.

- Yeah, well, I'm not dressing up for the fun of it,

this isn't a fashion statement!

- I can see that.

- I'm heading out into the city,

someone's gotta point the finger at Mega, it was your idea.

- Yeah, but I didn't say wear the mustache.

No, seriously, Lex,

I think what you're doing is very brave.

- Not too brave, I hope, Lexie boy,

not so brave that you're gonna go

and tell all my little fans where I am.

- Don't worry, Rammy boy, nobody's coming after you,

save for me, when the time is right.

[dramatic music]

- Power counts!

- [Slade] It seems to me you look like

a lady who needs some help.

I think you're being taken for a ride.

- Siva?

- Ebony.

- Well?

- We've got reports of people prowling around,

I'm making a patrol.

- Through the window?

- It's just possible they may have someone on the inside,

I wanted to patrol without our people knowing.

- Oh,

I see,

okay.

[dramatic music]

Do you think I'm stupid?

You think I can't tell when I'm being lied to?

- You've done a pretty good job

of seeming that way the past few weeks.

- Someone's messing me around in a big way,

you wanna come clean, Siva?

- Right idea,

wrong sister.

Java's got you so wrapped around her little finger,

you can't even see what's in front of you.

Zoot's dead, he always was!

- Be careful, Siva!

- You think Zoot's gonna strike me down

for speaking against him?

- The other night,

you said you saw somebody leaving my room,

what did he look like?

- You were right, I made a mistake, there was nobody.

- Still lying, huh, sis?

It doesn't help me believe the rest of your story.

- Well, maybe I don't wanna share everything

while you're still in cuckoo Zoot-land,

have you thought of that?

I don't fancy Java throwing me to the lions.

- That would only happen if I ordered it!

I'm in control!

- You're in control?

So what was Java doing with those prisoners today?

- She was...

- You have no idea, have you?

Pretty soon, Ebony,

you're gonna have to decide who you want to trust.

[dramatic music]

- [Man] All strays report for work detail.

Request barcode identification and no harm will come to you.

All strays report for work detail.

- Suckers.

- Hey, are you a stray?

- Whoa, hey, I can come back.

- No, it's okay.

How are you doing?

- Well, it took some hard gruff,

but I think we have a secure perimeter.

- Are you sure you're not building our own prison, Jay?

- What do you mean?

- How much do you know of what's really going on?

- About what?

- [sighs] I had Mega's thugs in here today,

taking the place apart.

- What did they want?

- Sammy, for a work crew.

I don't like this, Jay, we had enough of it under Ram.

- No, hang on, there must be some kinda mistake.

- The guys ransacking the mall

knew exactly what they were doing.

Keeping out the crazies is one thing,

but it's turning into a police state!

- They need the workers to keep the power going,

we want our electricity, don't we?

- It's not about electricity!

It's about how things are run, how people are treated!

- We're dealing with a crisis,

once the danger's passed,

I'm sure things will get more relaxed.

- I hope you're right,

I've seen too much strong-arm stuff.

When you let people push others around,

somebody always grows to like it.

[dramatic music]

- Ah, nice place you got here.

- Nobody saw you?

- I don't think so.

- There's one thing I don't get about you,

why do you care about what happens to Ebony?

- That's my business,

you just worry about yourself, alright?

[May snaps pictures]

- Siva's meeting with the stranger again,

the same one I told you about.

Ebony's not here, it's just the two of them.

- Keep an eye on them, then I want you back here.

- I don't think they saw me.

- Nobody saw you, you sure?

- Yeah.

- Mouse, will you leave me alone?

- No, you'll drink and get all moody!

- No, I won't!

- See what it does to you?

You're lying to me!

- Mouse, I'm not

lying, okay?

You don't understand.

- No, I don't understand why you have to drink

and get all horrible inside.

- It's not a problem,

and I don't have to explain myself to you!

I can do what I like, okay?

[dramatic music]

- Get off me!

Let go!

I don't have to do what you guys say!

- If you don't wanna follow the rules,

you take your chances out there!

- Okay, okay, I'll shovel the coal, just let me back in.

- Too late, boy,

see how you get on with Zoot.

- [sighs] Let's take a look at our mysterious stranger.

Enlarge.

Photography not your strong point, May?

- Huh?

- When taking a portrait,

it is helpful if you include

the subject's face into the composition,

gives the whole thing a bit more purpose, wouldn't you say?

- I'm sorry.

- So the mystery man remains a mystery.

- Look, I'd better go.

- Uh, what's the rush?

Why not stay and chat a while?

Let's talk about Jack.

- Look, I told you, Jack,

Jack isn't a problem anymore,

he's floating around with lover girl.

- You told me once Jack gets an idea into his head,

he won't let go.

- Yeah, well,

I think that girls are a pretty big

and new idea for him right now.

- Good,

then he won't notice you hacking into his computer files.

- What?

I can't do that!

- Can't or won't?

- No, I mean, I don't know how.

- I'll teach you.

It's a lot simpler than you think.

[dramatic music]

- [Woman] Move it along, you're going too slow!

Move it, come on!

- [Man] Keep going!

- [Woman] You're going too slow!

- [Man] Keep going, pick it up!

- [Woman] Move it along!

Hurry up!

- [Man] Go on, move it!

- [Woman] Come on!

- [Man] Move it!

- [Woman] Move it!

- [Man] Come on!

- [Woman] Keep it going!

Move it along!

- [Man] Hurry up, come on, move it, move it, pick it up!

- [Woman] Move it!

- [Man] Pick it up!

- [Woman] Hurry up!

Move it, come on!

- You know, Jack,

I never noticed before how nice your hair is.

It's really good quality, got a lotta body.

I could so totally sell you something nice.

- Really? [chuckles]

- You have to let me get my hands into this.

I could make you look so handsome,

even cuter than you are now.

- Well, well, I guess it wouldn't do any, uh, harm,

to try and...

Whoa, Ellie.

- Jack, can I talk to you for a second?

- He can't right now, I'm working out his new style.

- Oh, I'm sorry, did somebody ask you?

- I don't need to be asked, I'm just saying--

- Jack, I have something to tell you, now!

- Okay, yeah, I gotta go. [chuckles]

- Bossy.

- What's the matter?

- Come closer.

[romantic music]

There.

- Wow, what was that for? [chuckles]

- Let that be a lesson to you, enjoy your punishment?

- Mm-hmm.

[Trudy chuckles]

[Jay and Amber chuckle]

- Wow.

- Who would've thought we'd see the day

that two girls fight over Jack?

- Just when you think things couldn't get any weirder.

- I mean, they gotta be crazy

fighting over the same guy anyway, don't they?

I mean, don't they?

[crowd yells]

- [Java] I don't think you and your gang of hyenas

have got the message!

Let me enlighten you.

[Java hits girl]

This sector belongs to Zoot, got it?

- What was that?

- [Java] What?

- Something moved, inside the skip.

- Over there!

- [Java] Take him!

[dramatic music]

- [Siva] You saw him shot.

Don't you remember?

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

- Zoot!

- [Java] I can see him too.

- [Siva] Zoot's dead, he can't just rise!

[crowd chants "Zoot lives"]

It's all been tricks and lies.

- It seems to me you look like a lady who needs some help.

- You're gonna have to decide who you want to trust.

It wasn't him, it was just some kid.

- [Java] I can see him too.

- So when was the last time that you saw him?

- Ah, it was, uh, sometime, sometime this morning,

he came into our room

blabbering something about being chased.

Then that militia guy obviously didn't get him.

- Oh, I heard that he, uh, got you instead, with Ellie.

[Jay chuckles]

- Yeah, [chuckles] yeah.

- The point is that they shouldn't have been

stomping through our home in the first place.

- Exactly.

Sammy's missing,

and it's because of some guys throwing their weight around,

the same guys who are supposed to be protecting us.

[Mega clears throat]

- Sammy, where have you been?

- Where haven't I been?

I've had the worst day ever!

This big guy in black took me and--

- It seems there was a bit of a mix up at the checkpoint,

and somehow,

Sammy ended up on the wrong side of the barrier.

- You mean outside of the safe zone?

- But he's all safe and sound now, as you can see.

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

- Mega, what's going on?

No one said anything about

militia taking kids out of the mall.

We need some answers.

- We need a lot more than answers.

We need some thugs put back in line.

I don't like what's happening in here, Mega,

I don't like it at all!

- Please, no one is more concerned than I am.

After all, I brought Sammy back here myself, didn't I?

- Who knows what could've happened to him out there.

- But it didn't.

[sighs] People are scared,

you've seen it yourself, Zoot is the problem.

- Yeah, Mega, tell us something we don't know.

- When people get scared, they get extreme,

which makes a few of the men get a little overzealous.

- The guy who marched in here today didn't look scared,

he looked as if he was enjoying it.

- Well, heads get inflated with authority,

but I promise you,

the ones who have stepped over the line will be dusted down.

Okay?

[dramatic music]

- [Girl] This way, go!

- [Girl] Get him!

- Hey, here, over here!

[girl screams]

Got you now!

- Bring him to the zoo.

- [Ellie] Jack.

- Mm.

- I was thinking we should go to the bedroom,

cook up something sweet.

- Whoa.

- Jack?

- Somebody's been tampering with this,

they've been getting into my files.

- How can you tell?

- Well, security codes,

hacking into it's one thing,

covering your tracks is another.

[dramatic music]

- Well, why would anybody wanna do that?

We're all on the same team.

- Yeah, but are we?

- What do you mean?

- Okay, well, what if it...

What if there's a spy among us?

You know, like a traitor.

Okay, when me, Lex, and Jay went to the factory

to check on the holograms,

the Zoot double was ready for me,

it's as if he knew I was on my way.

- So?

- Well, so, every time we've come close

to the source of the Zoot apparitions,

something's headed us off.

- Like someone knows exactly what you were gonna do?

- Yeah.

- I'm gonna tell the others.

- Ellie, how do we do that

without alerting whoever's responsible?

Look, okay, we can't trust anybody,

it's you and me, Ellie,

we're gonna have to find this traitor ourselves.

- Is this what you really want, Jay?

I mean, what are we here, people or cattle to be branded?

- Amber--

- I'm not sure I wanna be processed

like something at a supermarket checkout.

- Look, no one's saying the situation's ideal,

some of it I don't like any more than you do.

- Then why go along with it?

- I know Mega can seem cold,

but he's a straight-up guy, he did help us defeat Ram.

And people are scared, Amber, they're ready to crack,

we have to keep out the madness.

This is about survival.

- Yeah, maybe.

- You know, everybody else has been barcoded,

you're the only one that's still refusing.

- Oh, so you think I should have it done too?

- Amber, the city is in chaos,

does it really matter what I think?

- Yes, Jay, it does!

Because no matter how bad things get,

we are not part of some machine!

I wanna know.

[dramatic music]

- I think we need to know who's in and who's out.

But it's your decision.
