- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

[birds chirping]

- I can't believe you just let them go.

You should've wasted those mall rats

while you had the chance!

- They can't hurt us too.

We're too powerful.

I've got them right where I want them.

- Yeah, alive and free to do whatever they want.

- [sighs] Java, I'm not gonna have the mall rats

end up as martyrs and influence everyone.

They're more use alive.

The mall rats are my keys to the city.

- Your keys?

Somehow, that doesn't sound like

me and you working together, Mega.

- I'm not gonna get into a power struggle with you, Java.

So I suggest you back off and relax.

You're letting your emotions run riot.

It'll get you nowhere.

- OK [sighs].

- Good, I'm glad we've reached an understanding.

- Yeah, we've reached an understanding alright.

I'll just try and focus my emotions

'cause the only emotion I feel right now is hatred.

- Chill.

We'll eliminate any problems.

- Well, at least we agree on that.

[ominous music]

[ticking]

[motor whirring]

- Don't ever do that again.

- You said you needed help. - Not that kind of help!

- Are you sure about that?

- I can take care of myself.

- What about Java and that Mega guy she hangs out with?

- [Girl] What about them?

- How you gonna take care of them?

- You really wanna know?

- I wouldn't have asked otherwise.

- The way I take care of them

[sighs]

is my business.

[light music]

- Playing with fire there, pal.

Whew.

- I should've known.

I've led you all into a trap.

- Mega fooled all of us, Jay.

You can't take the blame.

- She's right sweetheart.

You couldn't have known.

- Well you know, you don't need a crystal ball

to know that Mega's always gonna be one step ahead.

- Jack, that's unfair.

- No, it's the truth.

I should've guessed his strategy.

- So, what do we do now?

- [Redhead] I've got a strategy.

- OK, let's hear it.

- We could always run [laughs].

- This is not the time for jokes.

We need a plan.

Any ideas?

- Look, maybe we should just go along with Mega.

For the time being, just until we come up with something.

- How do you think the rest of the city would react to that?

We'd be just as much an enemy as the technos

if they thought we were supporting them.

- Jack, is there any way you can get into Mega's files?

- Yeah, I could try.

- Oh, that would be reassuring.

To read how much he hates us.

- We need to screw up his security.

- [Blonde Boy] Easier said than done.

- Well, I agree with Jack.

Why don't we just lie low for a while?

He might think we've backed down.

- Do we really think he'll fall for that?

- He might.

- Yeah, but he might not.

- It'll keep him out of our hair for a while.

- And then?

- We cause some power and chaos of our own.

[crowd chanting] [somber music]

- Shouldn't we get a move on?

These crazies sound like they're getting closer.

- Just a minute.

I don't wanna get tetanus, do I?

- Man, you should never get that close

to something that bites.

- Maybe I didn't get close enough.

- I still think we should stay right where we are.

Well, we've got electricity, food, we're safe.

What more could we want?

- A choice?

- Her choice is to play with her makeup all day.

- So? It's a free country.

- You call this freedom, Gel?

The city is a prison or haven't you noticed?

- People still can escape from prisons

just like the mouse did.

- No, if I know Mega, he'll be keeping an eye on us.

He'll have us monitored day and night.

- Are you trying to say that we can't make a move

without somebody noticing it.

- I don't think it's that bad,

at least not yet.

- Hi.

What's going down?

- Nothing, we were just talking.

- What about?

[scoffs]

Me, I suppose.

- Don't be so paranoid, May.

- We were just discussing how we can't seem

to trust each other anymore.

[sighs]

- That was very tactful, Ellie.

- Look, from here on in, we have to be careful

about what we say, when we say it,

and who we say it to.

[somber music]

- Shouldn't have done that, Ruby.

Now, you are going to lose.

- And what makes you so sure?

- Come on, don't get sore now just because I'm winning.

- That's what you think.

- Oh Ruby, Ruby, Ruby.

I mean, to me, it all seems so logical,

but you just don't seem to see the shape.

Gotcha.

It's like DNA, ya know, brain cells.

Everything has a pattern, a structure.

- Ram, you need to tell me how you're

planning on helping Slade.

- Oh, I'm afraid I'm not programmed to give out

that sort of information.

- Oh, so you're a computer, not a human being?

- All you need to know is that I'm very close to

making a breakthrough.

Yeah, he should be able to help.

- You really think so?

- Yeah, given time.

- How long has he got?

- [scoffs] That all depends on whether I find

the right structure.

- Enough about patterns and structures!

- Come on Ruby.

You're putting me off my game.

- Oh, forget the game!

[laughing]

- Poor little Rubes,

getting all worried about lover boy.

How touching.

[uplifting music]

Interesting.

Must have been hundreds of millions of ways

that all you little pieces could've chosen

where to end up.

Now, the question is, how and why

you ended up there

rather than here

or here.

- What's eating you, sis?

Looks like you're about to take over the world.

- I'll deal with it.

- [Girl In Red] That depends on the problem, doesn't it.

[light music]

- What, stupid.

- It's so boring here.

- Better bored than dead, Siva.

- Speaking of which, I wish I knew if Ebony was alright.

- She can handle herself.

- You don't know what they were doing to her, Lex.

Java's pure evil.

- Well, it runs in the family.

Just joking.

- I'm still worried she might come after me.

- Who, Java?

You'll be safe here with me.

- You sure about that?

- Have I ever let you down?

- Constantly.

Do you want a list?

- Give me a break!

I saved your life, didn't I?

- No.

The way I see it, Lex, is that I saved you.

- Don't start your engine.

[somber music]

- Any joy?

- Uh no, no it's been slow going.

But I'll keep working on it tonight.

- Why don't we try that toe-pronged Pensa movement?

Half of us go in and draw them out.

The rest of us zap them one by one.

- What are you talking about?

- The battle plan just like the scorpions did.

Either revenge or death.

- Sammy, this isn't a computer game.

Duh.

- Duh, at least I'm trying to think of something.

While you're busy there playing Mommy.

- Hey, don't talk to Ellie like that.

- Right.

Jack's the only one who could insult Ellie.

- Oh stop it, all of you.

This is getting us nowhere.

- That's exactly where we are, nowhere.

- Look, I still think we should stay in the mall,

in the safe zone.

The rest of the city is crazy.

- No more crazy than here.

There's no reason why we can't fight from the outside.

- Says the one who led us into Mega's trap.

- Thanks for the vote of confidence, Gel.

- We do have confidence in you, J.

You know Mega better than any of us.

- Which is why I need you to absolutely understand

what you're getting yourselves into.

If we stay together and fight from the inside,

we don't need to be one step ahead, but 10.

- What do you think, sweetheart?

[baby babbling]

- Maybe we should just call it a day.

- Ah, that makes me feel a whole lot better.

Now we've got a plan, I think I'm gonna sleep easier.

- Sammy, all Jack means is that we don't seem

to be getting anywhere.

- Ellie, I'll deal with it.

- Well, I've got an appointment with a price pack,

unless you all wanna spend the rest of the night arguing.

- Well, we will if you keep making stupid comments.

- That is enough!

- Well it's true!

- Don't you all see what's happening?

Mega doesn't even have to lift a finger.

He's dividing us already.

[somber music]

[ominous music]

- You're gonna wear the floor out soon, Java.

You gonna tell me what the problem is or not?

I haven't seen you this rattled for years.

- Rattled?

I'm gutted.

- Oh, so sorry to hear that.

Is there anything I can do to help?

- Not unless you can wipe out the entire male population.

- By male, you wouldn't mean that friend of yours,

Mega, would you?

- He's double-crossing us, sis.

- Is he now?

- Zoot wouldn't like it.

Mega's trying to run the show.

He thinks he can use us like a couple of puppets.

- And no one pulls our strings, right?

- We together in this, sisters?

- It is the will of Zoot.

- Ebony, united, we can do anything.

- United.

Sisters.

[mysterious music]

[owl hooting]

- Salene?

If we both join the ecos,

we could do this all the time!

Sleep under the stars.

[crunching]

- What was that?

- Would have a group of people protecting us.

Would know our way around the forest.

I wouldn't have to worry about what's out there.

[crunching]

- There's nothing out there that can harm us,

is there, Mouse?

[owl hooting]

We're gonna be fine, aren't we?

- Of course, we're gonna be just fine.

[light music]

- Ruby, you are a wonderful cook.

- Well, I aim to please.

- They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

- I don't know about that.

I mean, I haven't put on much weight in the last few years

and neither have you, Lexy.

- Ya know babe--

- Some might say though,

that you should forget about the cooking altogether

and just concentrate on what happens in bed.

- I'm amazed that a man hasn't swept you off your feet yet.

- You really are something.

- So you used to tell me but,

it's not me that you need to worry about.

- Um, shall we clean up the plates?

- Good lookin' girl like you,

I bet you know how to treat a guy.

- Lexy, think you might wanna pay a little bit

more attention to my ex.

She doesn't seem to like what you're

going after for dessert.

- There is no dessert.

- Come on babe, that's no way to treat a guy.

- You're right.

Way to treat a guy is to keep his hands busy.

- Tell me more.

- Don't worry, babe,

because you're on dishes tonight.

[laughing] [light music]

- That's great.

Oh, great.

- You should come to bed.

- No, I need to stay focused.

- You're working too hard.

- Ellie, this is important!

- All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

- I need to crack the security code.

- Don't you find me attractive?

Is that it?

- Too attractive, that's the whole problem.

- What do you mean?

- The thing is that I cannot seem to

think of anything else.

Every time I see you, I just wanna,

ya know, ravish ya.

- Gee, shucks.

- Yeah, and it's great and everything,

but it just means that not much else gets done around here.

- It must be so hard for you being both highly intelligent

and irresistible to women at the same time.

[light music]

I could make it even more difficult for you.

- Yeah.

Eh, I surrender.

[knocking]

- Fancy a chat?

- Thought you were enjoying the company downstairs.

- With Lex?

You got it all wrong, Siva.

- Yeah?

- Really, you wanna tell me about it?

- You've seen what he's like.

Mr. Smooth talker.

- Lex thinks he's smooth.

- I really thought he was different.

- Truth is, none of them are.

- But he really seemed to care for me, ya know?

- Thought he was the one, eh?

And now?

- I don't know what I think anymore.

I don't even know where I wanna be.

- Is it really him that's bothering you?

[sighs]

- I'm a city girl, Ruby.

All this peace and quiet makes me kinda jittery, ya know?

- Maybe it's just what you need.

A bit of time, thinking space.

- I miss my old life.

- We all have lives we miss, Siva.

- Heh, so you think I should

give this place a change, right?

- Why not?

I mean, Liberty can be pretty rough at times,

but overall, it's pretty safe.

- With Ram in town, believe me,

Liberty ain't that safe.

- What do you mean?

- With Lex, at least you know what you're getting.

With Ram, you just never know where he's coming from.

He's bad news, believe me.

[light music] [birds chirping]

[groaning]

- Hey, what was that?

- You're standing on my foot!

- Check it out.

- Good of you to let everyone know.

[dramatic music] [grunting]

Come on!

- Salene, are you sure this is the way?

- I think so.

- Well, I think we're lost.

- No we're not.

We're fine.

We're fine, we're not lost.

[shrieking]

- Look, they're all the same.

We've been here before!

- Will you stop hassling me?

- I just wanted to get to the eco.

[monkeys chirping]

- We're not lost.

We're not lost!

- Sal, wait!

Sal!

- [Walkie] Java.

Java, please talk.

Java, come in.

Java, can you hear me?

- OK, we've all slept on it.

What's it gonna be?

- We have to stay here.

Where else am I gonna plug in my hair dryer?

- I don't get you!

- Calm down, Ellie.

- Look, the way I see it, each of us wants

something different, right?

- Right.

- Mouse and Salene went off in search of a better life.

Why can't we?

- You mean give up.

- No, I mean we all make our own decision.

- We're the mall rats, J.

We make decisions together.

That's how it used to be.

But now anymore, Amber.

Look, I'm talking about survival.

Not just for me but for everyone here.

- I hear what you're saying J,

but we need to stick together.

- And risk being torn apart?

- Well seems like that's happening already.

- Yeah, you're acting,

I mean we're acting like a bunch of kids.

- Look, we fought the chosen, the locos.

- But they're nothing compared to the technos.

- Which you used to command.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- It means that you found out what Ram

and the technos were really like and you changed sides.

- Yeah and some of them may.

But Mega is the technos now, it's his plan.

He won't change and he's the guy that we have to fight.

- So we fight him.

- How?

- From the inside.

Look, we don't stand a chance out there.

We'll be fragmented, battling all sorts of crazies.

But if we go along with Mega

or at least make him think we're going along with him,

we can take him apart.

- Easy to say, Amber.

- No, she's right.

I was out there on my own once.

I don't ever wanna go through that again.

- And you won't have to.

We're family, right?

- And family sticks together.

- Aren't we a family, Trudy?

- Yeah, but I'm not about to turn my back on these guys.

Come on J, not only for Brady's sake, but our own!

- Trudy's right J, I mean,

we've been through too much together

to give up now.

- Come on sweetheart.

What have we got to lose?

- If that's what you all want.

- So it's unanimous.

We stay together and we fight from the inside.

All that's left is to find out what Mega's got planned.

[beeping] [light music]

[animals chirping]

[sobbing]

- [Mouse] Look who I found.

[lion growling]

- You wanted to see me?

- Yes.

I've come up with a plan.

- Great.

So what are we gonna do with Mega?

- I'm not interested in that scuzball.

- Hey!

What are you doing?

- Ya know, this is one amazing creature.

She makes a web,

sits back,

and waits.

- So?

- She waits for her prey to come to her.

- What are you doing?

[light music]

Ebony, have you lost your mind?

- No sister, I'm solving a problem.

- I'm warning you.

You're not gonna get away with this!

- Oh, but I think I am,

thanks to you.

You've given me the power, Java.

You and Mega.

And now, it's time to get even.
