- Apologies are appealing for COM

throughout the evacuation process.

- President?

But that's wonderful.

- Is it?

- Yes, Amber, this is an amazing opportunity.

Think of the difference you could make.

- Oh, what, like Salene made a difference

when Ram made her a city leader.

- Trudy, it's a sham.

He wants total control of the city.

And this is how he's gonna do it, by using us.

He knows how much the kids believe in Amber.

- What did you say?

- Nothing, we just got up and left.

- Mega took us by surprise.

He sprung it on us in front of the tribe leaders.

He had it all planned out.

- Look, don't you think it's better that

one of us is in there in the thick of it

by Mega's side so we can try to influence things.

- Trudy can you look after Bray for me?

- Of course, what are you gonna do?

- I'm gonna go and see him, I'll see you later.

- What are you gonna tell him, yes or no?

- Why are these people always eating each other.

- I'm being serious.

It's an audio bug.

I think we're probably being watched is what,

but I don't know where the camera is.

Look, it's a bug.

- Where?

- Come on.

There you go.

There you go.

There's a good boy.

Okay.

Good boy.

Jay, I don't like Mega any more than you do,

but I still think it's worth playing along,

at least for now, I'm not gonna change my mind.

- I don't want you to.

Trudy, I didn't mean it.

What I said about you selling out to the Chosen.

- Oh.

Well, thank you.

- I mean the fact is, if I was in your place,

had a kid, nothing else would matter.

I'd have done the same as you.

- How dare you drag me into all of this.

- Hello, Mega, how nice to see you.

Thank you for a lovely party.

- You tricked us, it was supposed

to be a meeting.

- Well, I thought I'd combine business with pleasure.

You can do the same if you join us.

- I want no part of it.

You'll have to find someone else

to be your little puppet president.

I'm sure one of the other tribal leaders will oblige

if you offer them a big enough bribe.

- But which one could do the job?

I'm disappointed.

I had you tell as an intelligent woman Amber.

- I'm intelligent enough to know

that getting involved with you is bad news.

- Think about it just for a minute.

Who better to lead the people.

The city's in trouble now.

We need a friendly supportive figure head

to rally us against the threat

of Ebony's counterattack.

- Which you planned all along.

The threat to the city is phony, just like you.

But I don't have to play your little game.

I'm not gonna be your figure head.

- It's no game, I assure you.

- Yeah, you have my answer.

I'll see myself out.

[gentle music]

- Something I should know about?

- She was looking for a guy named Lex.

- Why would anyone, especially a female,

look for a guy named Lex.

- She says she doesn't have any money,

but will he take her ring instead.

- What?

- Payment for her accommodation

as landlord of the barn.

- Is that right.

- Apparently, they're all willing to shell out.

- The refugees, to live in that rat-infested barn.

What has that scumbag got cursing through his veins?

- Another day, another dollar.

You know Lex.

- Not in Liberty.

Not in my town.

[crashing]

- I don't get it.

Sounds like a cushy job to me.

I mean, you don't even have to do anything.

- Except publicly endorse his madness.

- Get a grip Amber.

He's on our side.

He's given us food, light duties, creature comforts.

- Don't you see what is happening?

He's trying to buy our loyalty.

- He's already bought it.

- Look, we're living in a police state,

being told what to do and I have no desire

to become some brain dead auricle filtering

Mega's will through the people.

- Then what's gonna happen now?

The mall rats will be sidelined or even worse.

We need a voice Jay, otherwise we're gonna be

deleted just like everyone else.

Is that what you want?

- I'm sorry, Trudy, I'm with Amber on this one.

- Oh, you're with Amber, what a surprise.

- What does that mean?

- Come quick.

- Sammy, what's the matter?

- A big truck just delivered tons of food and stuff.

- [Girl] Oh, wow.

- Not again.

- I can't believe Lex is charging them

and the size of their space.

Chicken's have bigger rooms.

- And more dignity.

He can't resist making a fast buck.

- Lex has really done it this time

and I'm kind of mad at him.

- Wow, join one hell of a long queue,

but what can we do about it?

[knocking]

- Who is it?

[baby cooing]

How did you get in here?

- Your security leaves a lot to be desired.

I'll get straight to the point.

I need you to reconsider.

The city needs you Amber.

- The only thing that needs me is right here

in this cot.

Nothing else comes close.

- You don't understand.

- I understand perfectly

and the answer's the same, no.

Now if you don't mind.

[baby cooing]

- He's really quite cute.

What's his name?

- Bray.

- Ah, yes, of course.

Son of the famous Bray.

Must be hard bringing him up on your own.

- I manage.

- Not quite the same thing, though, is it?

- Yeah, well, the Technos left me no choice.

[baby crying]

Put him down.

- So innocent and sweet.

Takes after his mother I think.

See the likeness.

- Just put him down.

- The protective instinct, I understand.

Sharing the survival of the species.

After all, he is the future.

That's what it's all about isn't it?

You do want little Bray to have a future, don't you?

So, you'll think about it, hmm?

- Get out.

- I know you'll do what's best for the city.

And its children.

You know where I am.

[baby crying]

- Hey.

- Okay, we can talk now.

- How'd that thing get in here in the first place?

- Well, Mega is crazy in and out all the time

and it wouldn't take that long to set up

because it uses a sound wave frequency.

- Like a mobile phone?

- Yeah, kind of and I've located the camera bug, too.

- Hopefully, Mega will think the black screen's

a technical hitch, so he won't know we're onto him.

- But we can talk here now?

- Yeah.

- Everywhere else?

- No, not until I've done an entry plant search.

What's the matter?

- Well, I just hate the idea that there could

be like one in the bedroom.

- Well, if there is, maybe Mega will learn something.

- Jack, you can't say things like that.

- That was him.

- Ah, my two favorite women.

- Lex, just the man I've been looking for.

- I like the sound of that.

- Special delivery.

- What is it?

- Why don't you open it and see.

- Why don't you open it?

- Because it's confidential.

- Well, anything you can say to me,

you can say to my face.

- It's your hotel bill.

- Say what?

- What, you think I've been letting you stay here

out the kindness of my heart.

I've got a business to run.

- I don't have any loot.

- You've got other people's.

- Sure have.

And this bill is equal to the amount you've

been charging them to stay in the barn.

- Nothing more, nothing less.

- This should cover it.

- Big pocket.

- Oh, and Lex, there's just one more thing.

Could you please take this to the barn

and hand it all out to your tenants.

- No, no, way.

- Yes, way.

And tell them to come back here

and I'll give them their refunds.

Off you go, be a good boy.

[baby cooing]

- It's a little late for lunch, isn't it?

- We're gonna have a picnic in the park.

Do you want to come?

- What, have you lost your mind?

- What's your problem Jay?

- This.

For goodness sake Trudy.

You're playing into Mega's hands.

- Well, what are you suggesting?

We go on a hunger strike and protest

against the food we've been given?

- No, but we don't go on picnic Jones.

It's like you're reveling in it.

- What are you saying,

we should just let the food go off?

- Maybe don't be so showy about it you know.

- I just wanted to give my daughter a little treat,

that is all.

And actually I take back my invitation.

I don't want you coming along and spoiling

the only bit of fun that I can give her.

- There are hundreds of people in the city

who are starving and all you can think about is picnics.

[gentle music]

- Ooh!

- Could you spare a crust.

- No.

- Look, just a crust, I haven't eaten.

- Giving away bread is bad for business.

- Look, I won't tell anyone.

- Well, what's in it for me?

- Feel good factor.

Warm glow.

Good Samaritan.

Take your pick.

- What else you got to trade?

- Nothing, I'm just hungry.

- Surely, you got something to trade.

- You know what?

Suddenly I'm not very hungry because

just looking at you makes me feel sick.

- Suit yourself.

But you don't know what you're missing.

- Believe me I do and I'd rather starve.

- I heard what happened man.

They cleaned you out, huh?

- Why don't you go gloat somewhere else?

- Women.

They get you every time.

- And you'd know all about that wouldn't you?

- You know what you need?

Is a hobby.

- You know what?

You're right.

You know I was thinking of taking up hang gliding

or perhaps sailing.

- But the sea's miles.

- Oh, is it?

Well, I guess I'll just sit about here then.

What do you mean hobby?

- Just that I was talking to one of the refugees.

Said he made a killing selling Zoot hat and goggles.

Made a pile of loot.

So I said.

- Wait.

Darryl you're a genius.

I've just had a brilliant idea.

- Really, what is it?

- I'll tell you later.

- Listen up.

As soon as the truck enters the warehouse,

we jump them, got it.

[all agreeing]

Any questions.

Good.

I don't want any mistakes.

- Red, you got a minute.

- Oh, I've got all the time in the world.

Haven't you heard?

I'm the guy who spent all his waking hours

learning how to walk only to find

that he can't go anywhere for fear of being lynched.

- Yeah, well, your luck is about to change.

- Does that mean yours has.

- I heard you were having lady trouble.

Anyhow.

What was it that you were so excited about?

- Seeing you with these computers

got me feeling sorry for you.

You know, stuck here all day on your own

playing solitaire, just doesn't seem right.

- My, I'm touched by your concern Lex.

Go on.

- Then I got to thinking what you can do

with these babies and the fact that some

of the refugees out there have a lot of spare cash

burning holes in their pocket.

- Hmm, is there a point to all of this.

- The point is to put together your skills

and my talents.

A bunch of games worth settling for both of us.

Ram, we're sitting on a gold mine here

and with you on board, the odds are definitely

in our favor.

[gentle music]

[crowd yelling]

- Hey, that's enough.

Everybody get the truck now, let's go.

What are you looking at?

Get him.

[grunting]

Hurry up, let's go.

[engine revving]

[motorcycle revving]

- You do want little Bray to have a future, don't you?

- Hey, Amber.

What's wrong?

- It's Mega.

- Oh, no, what happened.

- He just barged into my room like he owned the place.

He's pushing me to be the city's president.

- You would be so good, though.

And Mega knows that.

He's only chasing the best candidate.

- I don't want anything to do with it.

- Yeah, well, it's your decision of course.

- No, Trudy, and all this food is part of it.

He thinks he can buy us with treats.

- We do need to eat.

Look, maybe we could just compromise

for a little while and see what happens.

- He threatened my baby Trudy.

- Mega?

- He said do I want Bray to have a future.

I don't know, it was the way he said it.

I'm so worried.

I'm worried that if I say no, he might.

- Then say yes.

At least that way Bray will be safe.

Accept his offer Amber.

What other choice have you got?

- Ebony's a regular little worker bee, isn't she?

And you got the whole lot on CCTV footage.

- Yes, sir.

- Excellent.

Broadcast it over City Net immediately.

Let the population see how Miss Ebony spent her day.

It'll put the fear of Zoot into them.

- Wouldn't you be better off

working at a desk?

- Why do you think I'm sitting her in the corridor Timmy?

- I don't know.

- Because it's the only place

I can be absolutely certain

that I'm not being watched.

- And you don't want them to know what you're doing.

- Bang on, you're at the top of the class.

- What are you doing?

- I am making a machine that's capable

of tracking down audio bugs.

It recognizes any transmitted sound waves

and warns me by beeping.

- Mega.

- Oh, yeah, you can say he's had more

than a little to do with it.

But we are onto him now.

- Lovely day, huh?

Too nice to be alone.

Should I call Kitty.

Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty, here Kitty.

- What's the matter sis, need a little back rub.

- You'd be more into back stabbing

than back rubbing, wouldn't you Javi?

You hungry sis?

Well, I would offer you some, except it's,

well it's kind of stolen from Mega

and I know how much you respect him.

[elephant blowing]

So what do you know?

The rebel won.

- I hope you choke.

- Mm, mm, mm.

[giggling]

[grunting]

- Listen, no bar code, no entry.

Oh, open the bag.

- Why?

- So I can see what's inside.

- I don't think that's any of your business.

- Look, I don't care what you think, open the bag.

What's this?

Give it to me.

- Why should I?

- Alcohol ain't allowed in there.

- Don't be ridiculous.

- Look, I just do as I'm told.

- Maybe some other time.

- Hurry up, get them inside.

We haven't got all day.

Come on.

[crowd yelling]

- So cool.

- You really are a very strange little boy.

- Says who, you.

- [Amber] Put him down.

- Ebony.

- Slade.

Still following me around, huh?

- Don't you know this is what Mega wants?

For you to be public enemy number one.

You're playing right into his hands.

- I know what I'm doing.

Hey.

You want some?

Oh.

- You're hurt.

- It's nothing.

- Let me see.

You've got a dislocated shoulder.

Anyone else would be screaming in pain.

- I don't do screaming in pain.

What are you doing?

- Shut up, count to three.

- One, two, ah!

You've just.

- Better?

- Where'd you learn to do that?

- Maybe I'll show you sometime.

- Is there a problem?

- You're not going anywhere.

- I don't understand.

- You're not allowed to leave.

Orders from the top.

- By why?

- How should I know?

Have a nice day.

- So innocent, sweet.

You do want little Bray to have a future don't you?
